I wouldn’t have thought so given he is nowhere near it, and Mowbray has basically stated he isn’t good enough but I guess you never know if he has shown up well recently or something! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I assume we're not getting an "imminent" today / tonight then ?? So no new striker and no RB / defensive mid ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I didn’t really get the Bullen was rattled from watching the press conference. I think his comments about budgets and getting players in were fairly standard and normal. There are only a few players available and they are outwith our budget is a fair enough comment if the only players are, for example Wotherspoon or McCarthy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeDiego Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 So he’s still after a physical midfielder, and there’s no mention of addressing the wing back or striker issues? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 In fairness, finding an experienced midfielder has to be number one priority. Just doesn’t sound as if it’s going to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Absolutely no one in this squad is hitting double figures in league goals this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarthy would likely command a stupid wage to get him interested. Failing that we take a punt on Mulgrew and stick him in midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the only player likely to do it would be chalmers with worldies like he had last season unless it just clicks for rose at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, he is as natural there as anywhere else really - played there 12 times last season, and the opening two games of last season. He is just very versatile. Sean Goss still available too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarthy was apparently on £12k a week at Celtic and has the guts of 3 years still to run. So he won't be a poor man when he gets out of that deal. As for signing for Ayr, it would depend on where he is as a player, does he think he could do a job at a higher level, at 32 he still has probably 4 years left at a top level. Does he think he could get a contract at a higher level based on his reputation, knowing he won't play much. If he is looking for an opportunity to keep playing while doing coaching badges or something like that, he may come to Ayr but I expect he'll be more likely to go to Hamilton if that was the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an issue, so long as we get 6 or 7 from Murphy, 5 or 6 from McGeady, 6 or 7 from Rose, 5 or 6 from Amartey, 5 or 6 from Chalmers etc and a few from our midfield guys / Centre Backs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 It has been great watching English managers bleat on about the amount of money in Saudi football and how they can't compete Hopefully it will benefit Scottish football by increasing the value of talent coming out of Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've really lost the plot in England when they're all paying £40 and £50 Million for journeymen / squad player types. There also seems to be some sort of weird merry go round happening with 5 or 6 of the clubs, where they're swapping players between one another like panini stickers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't harm the English game much, there may be less eyeballs on them from the Asian market but they will still generate enough revenue and will but players from the Netherlands, France etc but they will now be a feeder league for other leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't like it up them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
