I'd expect £30,000 for Our star man and that's nothing. Caley paid £35000 for lossies Ian stewart way back when you left the highland league If we can sell David Raven to Ross County for a substantial fee I'll be delighted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect £30,000 for Our star man and that's nothing. Caley paid £35000 for lossies Ian stewart way back when you left the highland league It's Ross Draper that Ross County were bidding for. As RiG says, if County made a substantial bid for Raven I'd imagine we'd be driving him over the bridge at 100mph. There's also a difference between a player like Ross Draper, who has been a top performer for five seasons in the top flight and a player like Kevin Fraser, who'd be making a substantial step up from part-time to full-time football. We did pay £35,000 for Iain Stewart but football and fees were different in those days. Around that time Falkirk, Dunfermline and St Mirren paid six figure transfer fees for players. That just doesn't happen now. Having said all that I think that this is another example of shocking PR and communications from our club. When Buckie said that Fraser was coming on trial to us they said they wouldn't stand in his way by demanding a "substantial" fee, obviously they don't want to deny the guy a chance to play full time. How that has developed into a 'war of words' between us and a Highland League team is beyond me. Add to the fact that the Buckie manager played for ICT under Robertson and they've signed a few players from us over the years (Duncan Shearer was also their manager before coming back to us) and we should be able to have a friendly relationship with Buckie and not make ourselves look bad. Just about every situation like this we seem to manage to get the worst possible outcome and cast the club in a bad light. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Connor Bell needs to be one of the players signed if the finances are there. He was tremendous the other night, regardless of the opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Robertson quoted in the Courier as saying the board have given the go-ahead to sign a couple of players. Given that he was complimentary about Bell I'd expect him to be one. Maybe some sort of agreement can be reached for Fraser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Going by Robertson's quotes in the P & J yesterday I would say the Fraser transfer is dead in the water, or is he playing mind games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Surely it is a case of we need one to go, get the spondoolachs and buy the incomer for less !!! I am reliably informed that we have overpriced Draper (thankfully) but then Tinkerville came in for Raven who was equally (in comparison) overpriced. I would certainly go to ship Dave the Rave and bring in Bell and/or Fraser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Lot of drama over us signing a Highland League player. Wait until Savage comes back and we start signing over-the-hill Romanian superstars again. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Procedures kicked in to remove the offending material and immediately lock down the account. ICT has notified the appropriate authorities and a formal investigation is underway.
