Should be telling any club coming in with derisory offers to f**k off. That’s Gillingham missed out on two targets due to them being too cheap. Agree completely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will also not be extending the contract of Francis Amartey, we also wish him all the best.” Get this recruitment process in the fucking bin. That "process" seemed to get us Dempsey, Albinson and Dipo. The previous "good" processes captured Tom Walsh, Joe Chalmers, Jordan Houston etc, etc, etc. The point being, there is no magic formula or silver bullet, just ask the teams that finished below us last season and the ones who were relegated as I'm guessing THEIR transfer policies weren't exactly deemed a great success...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Teale was the record fee. £400K i think. Akinyemi's fee will be about half that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, well we don’t know if it’s a club record. You’re going to get duds but so does every club. Not ever club will bag a player that gets them a six figure fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to think that if we shopped exclusively in Scotland every signing would be an unqualified success. Short memories. Edit - not a record fee but a substantial amount of money and the highest in over 20 years. Edited July 14, 2023 by eez-eh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinnyPar Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) My bad, still, any club in this league receiving 6 figures for a player doesn't indicate it's a recruitment process that isn't working. As others have said there'll always be duds but the occasional gem such as Dipo means that you're doing something right.

Rb123 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Tonight's Q&A gonna be a laugh and potential to turn ugly/comical Rocking up to the first league cup game with a weaker squad than last year. Still willing to give it time since there's a good few weeks to go until start of league season but it's the fact league cup is seemingly getting seen as a glorified pre season again since we have a squad which is at least 3 or 4 starters away for being complete IMO I know our group on paper should be a piece of piss apart from St Johnstone however Bullen's record in these games is pretty poor and we always make it difficult for ourselves 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly its fortuitous timing to be having one. Getting the Dipo situation sorted will have lifted a fair amount of tension. Holding it the night before the first game might also have been a wise move with the current options we have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
