Given that he's a protestant who played for Rangers, it's difficult enough to come up with anything that might even fit this category, and impossible once you discount the bits that are true. 57 minutes ago, North British said: I see Sheffield Wednesday have freed 9 lads from their U23 squad . Wonder if Bully is interested in any of them . People should just wildly assume that Ayr will have first picks of all of them. That was fun last summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even remember what was said officially about the Burnley connection but I do remember being astounded that people were producing team sheets with three or four of their best academy talents in them. No doubt Bullen will leverage his connections when necessary but to be honest the u23s for a club who might be in the English Championship next season is a bit of a stretch. Ayr's hunting ground last season was the fifth and sixth tiers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I have a good feeling tbh Yeah, if he was leaving then that pic would be piss taking bordering on cruel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochwood Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Don’t know about freed under 23 but I would love to see Barry bannan brought home as player/ assistant manager, would walk this league at his age and would make young smith and Hewitt into great players with his experience 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Far more likely Graham Dorrans than Barry Bannan tbh. Also it horrifies me now to see that there's only three years between them, having still not really internalised that Bannan isn't in his early 20s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 So that’s Ashford here for 3 years now? Sorted for goalkeepers as well. I quite like Albinson. He’s less of a brilliant shot stopper like McAdams and is better at commanding his box imo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Albinson is that much better at commanding his area than McAdams. His communication with the defence is next to none. That goal him and McGinty conspired to concede against Arbroath was right up there with Ruddy and Hart. A good backup option but I can't see him being number 1. McAdams most obvious weakness is long shots. With coaching that should get better. Also with some more savvy defending - not giving away needless fouls on edge of the box and not giving the opposition acres of space and time on the edge of the box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he was signed up for 18 months so to end of the 22/23 season. I'm not sure if he's now signed up to 23/24 (2 years) or 24/25 (3 years)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 So fair chance we're trying to get majority of the squad on 2/3 year deals. Really could go one of two extreme ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really could go one of two extreme ways. I'm still hoping for some more releases. Hopefully, some who have offers have been told they would be backup at best and will opt to move elsewhere for regular football. I'll also feel a lot more confident if Adeloye signs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 So this is the state of play so far: Currently signed: Goalkeepers: McAdams, Albinson Defenders: Houston, McGinty, Ecrepont*, Bilham*, Jeannes* Midfeilders: McAllister, Smith, Hewitt Forwards: McKenzie, Ashford, Bryden Waiting to hear from: Reading, Murdoch, Dempsey, Moffat**, Baird, O'Connor, Muirhead, Adelyoe, McInroy *Reserve/youth players **Coaching role/reserve player I wouldn't be surprised to still see McAllister leave unless he was to have a good season, and still think we will bring in a right back if Hosuton is out for 8 weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
