I don't have any details of the EK friendly, I just heard we were playing them. It certainly won't be at home though as we don't currently have a pitch.

It's a fitba forum after all and not everything should be taken too literally, nor analysed to the nth degree, a wee touch of levity now and then helps ... at least that's my view. Chill, bro, chill ... Perfectly chilled Dear er...Bro (Not convinced I can pull that off). It was just a bit daft to criticise our light hearted, exaggerated moaning about 'doonhammers ' because it was less important than Ukrainians being killed over breakfast. Put in that context, we'd all have to stop posting our relatively meaningless drivel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a quick brain dump of very daft things that seemed more of a pain than wrong spelling of doonhamers and Ukraine (one of my major worries) shouldn't have been in there. You do tend to take things awfy serious at times though ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, certainly better that than nothing. For a few weeks post-season, apart from any re-signings, there's not much else going on. At least we're, mostly, a good natured bunch and can recognise an occasional gentle wind-up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if any are in MBs plans Not hard to imagine that Bartley will be in touch with former clubs (and other close contacts) re any player availability - hence potential business with Hibs (already happened) and Livi. Clearly, we won't be in with a shout of potential first team players at that level - or maybe ones that are falling out of favour, struggling to make a matchday squad etc. More likely to be young talent that need game time at a decent level. I'm still expecting a fairly quiet start to June with the likelihood that managers, players etc will be on leave just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we're going through the same thing with Schwake at the minute, he's on trial with Brighton and rejected terms with us. There was talk of 250k+ compensation for him which seems outrageous. I can't imagine we'll pay anything north of 30k for Paton (given we're constantly talking about cutting costs and he'll only be a backup to Anderson) if it comes to it, could be a stumbling block. I think the number mentioned was around 60k per year depending on the facilities etc. By all accounts I think that sits Paton at 120k, we've done similar deals in the past where we negotiated a lower fee in order to include things like sell on fees, players on loan etc. I think the last player we signed of a similar profile albeit a little older was Kouider-Aissa and that didn't work out at all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no point at all in trying to compare Schwake to Brighton to Paton to Livingston even assuming there's some truth in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that won't be high due to him only being with us 2 years. Probably about same we got for Fitzpatrick around 10k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably about same we got for Fitzpatrick around 10k I could be wrong but does the compensation take into account the players performances as well? Big difference between Paton and Fitzpatrick in goals scored so can’t really compare the 2? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
