UpInTheAyr Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Odd that Reading is on the expiring contract list on the club update. Can only assume he's been offered a new deal otherwise he'd be away. Is he weighing up his options or something, seeing what other offers he gets? Can't imagine there'll be too many banging down his door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGeady is just done. No idea why we signed him. Chalmers is capable of moments of sublime quality, but I’d say he flatters to deceive the vast majority of the time. Hasn’t kicked a ball since Brown came in, which at best suggests he doesn’t fit with how Brown wants to play. He’s not good enough defensively either. I was up at the Partick game last week and the number of times his man just ran/jogged away from him was ridiculous. It’s been a deeply mediocre season for us, and yet Chalmers didn’t seem to trouble many people’s list for player of the year awards, which I think counters the belief from other clubs fans that he was our best player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 If true it is certainly impressive that Chalmers is wanted by the second best side in the league, while not being good enough for Scott Brown. I’m pretty sure we will have wanted to keep him, because you would have to be pretty mental to happily allow a player with a 1/2 goal contribution to leave to go to a rival far further ahead in terms of having a “Premiership ready” side than you do. Managers need to get the best out of players, so I would be worried if Brown didn’t want someone with his technical ability as if he gets him going he is potentially one of the best players in the league - he certainly was at the start of this season. You don’t tend to get any high energy, pressing, good defensively wide midfielders at this level that are also good creatively - they don’t really exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Was it not reported in the local press that Brown wanted to keep Clarke, Sanders, Chalmers and Dowds, or am I mis-remembering? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Utd loaned him out to the team that fiinshed 2nd in the league last season. Doesn’t prove anything, but suggests Brown isn’t the only manager to have doubts about him. In the end, if Chalmers was available at a sensible price, I suspect we would take a punt on him, but presumably Raith have offered him silly money the same as they did with Josh Mullin. If he does indeed live locally, then that’s probably the end of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrutd1910 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 2 hours ago, Only me... said: McAllister for captain? That's a thought, would struggle to keep the armband on his arm due to the amount of elbow tackles he does. Please why,Mcallister should be a bit player next season,only because he is contracted,he has been woeful most of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott-ish Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 52 minutes ago, ryanayr1987 said: Yes there are better out there but they all play in the premiership, he is one of the better players in this league and has shown that with partick and Morton hence why partick are going after him I actually liked him first time round. I'm probably basing my opinion a lot on him being one of the main antagonists in a truly horrible Morton side who've routinely pumped us this season. As I said earlier, if you play for us then you're one of the good guys. Same with Easton from Raith. An irritation when he's playing for the opposition but exactly what we're needing for our team. Apart from McAllister we've nobody who gets in folks faces and winds up opponents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 1 hour ago, Arab_R_us said: 1) i think we will free Chalmers would you sign him ? 2) Is Mcgeady been any good ? We would love to sign him and should be in pole position, he was with us before, gambled and went to Tranmere where he sat on the bench. He had multiple cracks at Dundee United and never got a run. Being offered more money and location may hurt us though, unless he plans to move to Glasgow. Unless he signs for Dundee or St Johnstone, which I would doubt. Raith and Dunfermline would save him a few hours a day travelling. McGeady hasn’t been fit since he signed, he’s not played more than an hour and has barely featured in two games in a row. He has been ok at times and other times, just dreadful. I don’t care if he stays on as a player next year if he plays as much as he did last year. I’m not sure we are paying him that much anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
