AyrExile Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Over the last few seasons it seems harder to not get a new contract than earn one. Probably a cost effective way of covering a few positions and frees up cash for Glendinning to shop in the depths of englsh football 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 My concern with signing McAllister to a new deal is that it seems like a lazy option. No effort required to find a better option when there's a guy who's 'fine' in place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 As Robbo says, he is good to have around in that he can fill a number of positions. Should he be starting in any of them for a team with designs on the top four? Absolutely not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No effort required to find a better option when there's a guy who's 'fine' in place. This seems to sum up the past few years for us. Half arsed. I've said a few times but I hope to god Broon gets the £ and scope to build and get away from this lazy recruitment that clearly doesn't work. I would say since Roberts was appointed manager we've been on a downward trajectory with the easy/cheap/he's a nice guy option. *The appointment of Broon and Whitty is a step away from this and I hope it continues to the squad.

diegomarahenry Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 McCallister needs competition and has done for a couple of years. He’s been better with a sitting player in front of him and has got forward more. His defending is still problematic though. Happy enough with him re-signing as long as we sign another right back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, he went on to be a great player for us and went from strength to strength but I believe it was a cheap option gamble at the time. I'm not saying everyone falls under the half arsed approach, but it's been the direction we've headed In, in general terms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Terrace Gazza Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Remember when James Maxwell wasn’t good enough for us at right back but now McAllister after one half decent performance gets a new contract. Underwhelming unless we’re in league one of course 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does not mean he is potentially not looking for a right back , what it does mean is that he has a player in the squad who can cover a number of defensive positions when the need arises , Edited April 5 by Finlay21 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Just pray to god he’s only being kept on as back up if we see him on a regular basis next season then I will fucking scream! Although we said the same at the start of this season -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Sadly it looks like we’ll be going with minimal changes in the summer. The status quo of the club on the park with continue. We badly need an overhaul and that includes McAllister getting fired into the sea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't rightly know how he would be at right back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
