Maybe they weren't too impressed with what they were watching. Wasn't at the game so can'r comment but still hoping that some sort of de3al can be reached for Mcmenamin. He wasn't in the Glentoran squad last night. Was given an extra 10 days leave after international duty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was even injured while on loan to them Is he even fit now? His injury at County seemed to have ruled him out for a good while again. In know he made the trip to Belfast, but has he actually recovered yet? I do feel bad for Brophy. It's always a shame when a promising player with a bright future is blighted by injury. I hope he does well at County. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be fit for start of season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be fit for start of season He will be. He’s training with the first team. The bench thing was, oddly, a decent piece of motivation by Mackay - only five outfield players meant that everybody at some point would have to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenburn bud Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 How good would it be if we could tempt Big Curtis back for another 2 years. If he’s not signed for anyone maybe Robbo could push the boat out now we’ve got rid of Brophys wage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could push the boat out and still get nowhere near what an English club could offer him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst that's true, he's still living in the area and he and his family are apparently happily settled here.

Obviously we can’t compete with what an English outfit can offer wage wise, but if his young family are settled then maybe he might give it a thought. He’s played all of his best football under Robinson. it’s unlikely as he will earn some serious money down the road. But you never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes 31, this is likely his last real chance of earning big money down South, so I doubt he turns it down if its offered and it matters to him. If not then he'll likely want a 2/3 year deal with yourselves as a large earner. As good as hes been, is it something that would be smart to tie yourselves to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Dunne ? He's not moving on if he signs a new contract with us. He's negotiating via his agent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a 2 year deal with a years option is too big an ask for us. The guy is an absolute freak so there's no massive risk of not being physically capable. Personally, I like the idea of new faces. Always worth freshening things up and if we signed Main and declared that was us done in terms of forwards, I'd still be a bit concerned about goals coming consistently but depending on who else we brought in up top (as we're still looking for two on top of Nahmani), he works pretty much perfectly for the way we play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not convinced Nahmani wasn’t one of the two Robbo referred to. Although he knew he’d be signing, it hadn’t been announced yet. Hope I’m wrong and you’re right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offord will go out on loan IMO and Olusanya will be either freed or put out on loan. Leaves us with Nahmani, Ayunga, Greive and Jamieson. We’ll definitely still be in the market for 2 given that we won’t likely see Jonah fully fit til Christmas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
