Him along with a holding midfielder and a striker would be ideal. And a goalkeeper. Every keeper on our books is utter shite, including Mehmet! The fact that the other 2 are Sunday league material seems to have clouded everybody's judgment on him but lets no forget that this was a guy who couldn't get a game for Falkirk and was second fiddle to the woeful Harry Lewis! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd this would come up right now, when Ogren is due at Tannadice in the next few days. He'll give out assurances, no doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 You guys have apparently had a “derisory” bid turned down for our right back Liam Smith.

Something in three figures maybe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFARAB82 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 From Ayr United Website, To all our supporters. Having recently received yet another offer for one of our players, which at best can be described as derisory, I wish to let you all know the following facts. There has been a number of bids for our players however NO player will be leaving Somerset Park during this window. The only type of deal acceptable to our club would involve an immediate loan back to Ayr United. There may be a number of our players being offered pre-contracts by other clubs. I have absolutely no issue with this and I am 100% certain that any player who takes this option will continue to give everything to Ayr United. They will also be informed that pre contracts in Scotland are not recognised by the SFA and are therefore worthless. Though I will never give up hope of keeping our squad together at the end of the season I recognise that there will be departures. Any player who leaves will go with the very best wishes of everyone connected to Ayr United. Wherever we finish in the Championship our supporters deserve to watch this special group of boys till the end of the season. Hopefully this will put an end to any speculation through various media outlets and allow us to concentrate on football matches.

Guest Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 6 minutes ago, GFARAB82 said: McCall hopes It sends the message out publicly that anyone wanting our players will NEED to pay good money. It's already been mentioned that selling one of our key players for £100k or £200k is pretty much a pointless exercise if it means finishing a couple of places lower in the league, losing out on that sum in prize money, and potentially denying ourselves promotion either automatically or via the play offs. Of course the above rings true for every club which is realistically still in the mix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopping veto of a ground share would be closer to the truth IMO. No chance of a merger. Mental talk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
