Word on the street is Chalmers is off to Raith

Reading between the line of various interviews and starting decisions, it doesn't seem like Chalmers plays the kind of football Broon wants to play. I think a lot of us seen this outcome happening... if it's true of course.... it is that crazy rumour time of Yr!

Kind of a weird update. Surely McGinley will be off, I’m assuming Smith and Albinson have both refused to talk about a new deal and that’s why they are announced, the rest have to have “the talk”

We could have gone for him 2 years ago but opted for David Bangala instead….  The correct decision I’m sure.

He knocked us back.

Amartey was only a one year deal so he's either hit an appearance target or we've taken the option to extend.

Murdoch and Amartey still under contract?  So a current squad of 18 and I genuinely mean this when I say that squad would struggle to get top 4 in League 1.

Murdoch signed a 2 year deal with a 1 year option in 2022 and Amartey signed a 1 year deal with a 1 year option last summer so I presume both options have been activated.

Didn't realise there was an option, strange that they haven't said that the deal have been extended.

Reckon McGinty, Rose, Syla and McGeady who are under contract will probably leave too.

RE McGeady, I am a bit worried as I think if he was for retiring, they would know by now.  He's not going to play elsewhere now IMO, I mean, who is going to pay him, he's completely finished and has this other position in the club.

I think it’s more likely that Smith and Albinson said months ago that they weren’t signing new deals so there’s been no further discussion with them. Given the season only ended on Friday it’s unlikely that the club have had the necessary discussions with the players that they won’t be offering deals to I.e McGinley and they definitely won’t have had discussions with players who they want to move on but are still under contract i.e Rose and McGinty. I’m sure conversations will happen this week and we’ll find out then.

The guy who stands to the right of me at Somerset will be pleased. It’ll save him shouting “get Chalmers aff” every time he touches the fucking ball

How many players we expecting to bring in? Looking at that under contract list is pretty grim. We literally need players in every single position.

Do agree, but I would also say that he just hasn't fitted in since Brown arrived.  Can't be helped.

Brown said "a lot" of players

Aye, he’s genuinely so under appreciated amongst sections of our fan base. Fans rather having Bryden or McKenzie outwide due to them “running about” more.

I think I said it after Friday night, that recently he has been more of a moments player as opposed to the start of the season where he was unplayable. His reverse pass and cracking shot for example the other night. 

Whether it’s a Brown style thing, or just a form thing I don’t know and if he is off we aren’t going to find it. We obviously absolutely need some quality to replace him and not just chuck limited players like Bryden out wide. A full back able to contribute going forward would also help!

The interesting thing about Logan is his goals , he’s on 9 and would have got up to about 12 if he had stayed in the team . He may well be better at 10 than on the wing . Be sad to see him go to a rival as it was with Mullin last year . Would love Mullin back but hey ho .
