Bell, Adams, Higgins, Geggan, Kerr, Crawford, McDaid, Forrest, Moore and Moffat are all out of contract and with the exception of Higgins you could make a case for giving new contracts to all of them, as none have looked out of place in the championship this season.

Docherty signed an 18 month deal in January. Same time as David Ferguson. ETA: you’ve also missed Moore from the out of contract list.

UpInTheAyr Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Guy on the SRE FB says McCall and many of the players have decided to leave the club at end of the season because of the support.Wouldn't normally post stuff from there but the guy that posted it isn't usually one of the zoomers, and I think he might have ties to the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 It’s a weird one, these players are quite obviously highly thought of given their achievements last year and the beginning gob this season however I do feel we need a bit of a clear out. Rose and Smith are already away while I’d let the likes of Higgins, Adams, Bell etc go. ETA: will be interesting to see how many signings we bring in in the summer. Around 7 maybe?I’d say around the 7 or 8 mark with a particular need for centre backs and a couple of strikers. I reckon we’ll lose McDaid with Cadden and Miller going back. I’d probably have Cadden back alongside McGuffie returning. I would like another experienced one in there though. Keep Geggan and Ferguson to contest for RB and hopefully Ecrepont can push Harvie for LB. Doohan will go back but he’d be my preferred choice next season if we can get him. Crawford is likely away so we could do with someone to partner Murdoch and keep Kerr and Docherty as back ups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has already started signing players for next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kerr? Possibly, I just heard McCall saying that some big changes are needed and I think that sort of thing might happen at some point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose and Smith are already away while I’d let the likes of Higgins, Adams, Bell etc go. ETA: will be interesting to see how many signings we bring in in the summer. Around 7 maybe?Having a clear out would not be sensible imo. Keep pretty much anyone we can, with a few injury ravaged exceptions, and then replace. You only have to look at the start of this thread and then how this season started to see the benefits of continuity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC 1910 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 No matter what happens in the playoffs, it's going to be emotional. This bunch of players has given many of us some fantastic moments throughout the last couple of years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Only rumours, neither are concrete is Kyle Turner and Dom Thomas. Both I would take. I’ve been going on about Turner for ages on here and Thomas has done well for Dumbarton this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
