I think Ayr should be looking at Murphy types who have been released from the premier league, seeing who is now out of contract. That being said, we can't be throwing large wages at everyone. Patience everyone. It'll turn good I'm sure. The recruitment team have done well before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means it's either somebody that hasn't kicked a ball at all last season or an OF youngster on loan who hasn't played for anyone else yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 What we REALLY need is a five-point IMMINENT alert scale. Imminent 1 - happening NOW Imminent 2 - happening within the hour Imminent 3 - happening today Imminent 4 - happening this week Imminent 5 - happening anytime between now and the end of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 This time of year everyone starts to forensically over-analyse players' twitter accounts and who their families have started following. Players probably make cryptic posts just for a laugh... We all accepted that Dipo would realistically move on this summer and that the club would, for the first time in a long time, get a comparatively decent fee. The club are absolutely doing the right thing by making sure that they don't get taken for a ride by prospective buyers and I don't think there is anything in the way he has conducted himself to suggest Dipo would be difficult about that. I suspect if/when it happens it will be fairly early on in the summer, and would be surprised if something already in the works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a guess who I think it is rather than definite. That player in question had a successful 21/22 season and stepped up a couple of levels last season but ended up having 3 loan spells down a level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgreig Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 1 hour ago, D'Jaffo said: My theory is that the club will have been quite open with him about letting him leave but a clubs needs to meet our valuation of him. Someone will meet that within the next week I’m sure. I don't see why the club would rush at all. Whatever people say about the level of the Scottish Championship, we are selling a player who was comfortably the top scorer in the division last season and also the player of the year. That is a scarce resource and the club's directors have a duty to maximise the value they receive. For every one of us who is clamouring to get the money for him, there are also fans and directors of other clubs who know they need a proven goalscorer. We just need to hold our nerve and trust that we have people negotiating who understand the true market value. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need to hold our nerve and trust that we have people negotiating who understand the true market value. Agree, we're not a forced seller and we don't especially need the cash. If Dipo goes we have to replace him and one would assume we'd have to go down the route of someone with some sort of track record or even 2 x forwards which will ultimately be a gamble (and potentially costly). As it stands we have a proven scorer and the leagues player of the year who's under contract for the following season, so as you say, there really is no pressure on us and if we don't get a decent bid then Dipo should be staying and as a fan it should be seen as a good thing. From Dipo's perspective he may be disappointed but it would be up to him to keep up and even improve his performance level and get as good a move as possible when he becomes a free agent and then he'd potentially be able to negotiate an even better deal for himself for the following season, so ultimately it's a Win / Win for us all. That said, I still believe we'll get a bid of £250k+ and that it will be accepted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
