And the income is helping finance hopefully first pick players. Quite a turnround for us. Realistically we can make three decent signings and maybe get a couple of loans in and keep hold of OHara , Baccus and Strain , which would give us our best ever squad in recent years . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the add ons is enough to swing the deal in our favour. Can't see Main returning to Saints even if he does live local for the moment I'm sure he will end up down south or at Dundee United that's my guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He froze him out at saints and was trying to ship him out until Robinson came in so I highly doubt he is going to Dundee United, he’s not Goodwin’s biggest fan. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 Club telling Glentoran that they have until tomorrow to accept or reject the McMenamin bid. Not being left hanging about here - Glentoran clearly dragging their hells to see if they can get better elsewhere and the player side of negotiations will be the easy part. He's told the club he wants to join us so we really do need to force the issue here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player can refuse to go to another team and play out the rest of his contract at Glentoran . We have made a fair offer , and if he is as good as they think he is , there is a good chance they will make a few bob out of a sell on fee . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been plenty of debate that we accepted a low ball offer for Baccus when he only has a year left on his contract as in double standards. If his club value him higher due to his international recognition and impressive goal and assist stats I guess we just need to wait and see what is seen as acceptable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torfason Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 The Glens fans seem to be a sensitive bunch because we put a deadline on the deal, our competitive season starts in 12 days so we obviously don’t want to waste time if the deal isn’t there. I would imagine they now have an unhappy player so it will be interesting to see how that plays out for them however we move on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I am sure we have other targets. Deals fall through all the time. Pity for the player as he was keen to come to us. Lets see how they get on with an unhappy player 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Div Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Sad that the deal seems to be dead now, but we can’t hang around forever and the cards are all held by the selling club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I reckon we can forget about Anderson as Livi will be looking for a ridiculous fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
