MONKMAN Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 If somebody wants to buy him fair enough. If not we review it in the summer. Nobody is going to pay money for him. I can't see any positive reason for keeping a player that doesn't want to be here. Monkman - I am not doubting you about any situation with Baird pal. His non- appearance at half time in warming up suggests there could be a problem. I take it you found out from a good source that he was wanting away ? Yeah mate. He asked to have his contract terminated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I certainly wouldn`t be releasing Baird in advance of our trip to Raith next week. They must be a likely destination for him if/when he does go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 By the looks of it, Fowler sees Paton as a forward rather than a winger. In that case, and with Paton looking fit again, I wouldnt keep Baird - if indeed he does want to go I think today showed that we definitely need to replace Kerr though, unless McKenna or Burns are going to be back any time soon. With Kilties loan finished, it looks like we might need to bring a couple of players in during January. Lets hope one of them doesnt need to be a goalkeeper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He asked to have his contract terminated. To rock up at Raith? Unless we were to get somebody to take his place during this window he can just warm to bench until the summer. That said , he could just do what others have done in the past and fight for his place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) It makes for a tricky situation. When clubs offer players contracts, there needs to be something in it for the club too. If Baird got injured, Queens would be obliged to keep paying him. He shouldn't be able to just walk because he's fed up, without the club receiving something in return for committing to him. The fact that he'd be likely to crop up for a direct rival means we maybe shouldn't look to be too accommodating here.

The fact that he'd be likely to crop up for a direct rival means we maybe shouldn't look to be too accommodating here. If he was desperate to go I would say " on you go but the contract gets ripped up and we pay you not a penny more " If he agrees to that then fine . We could look elsewhere and not keep spending valuable funds on someone who is not interested in being here. Lyle is twice the player of him anyway . Pity he is reaching 'grandad stage ' in footballing terms Edited January 3, 2015 by JRS LEFT PEG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really should have been sent to train with the youths for a month or two to cool his heals. Instead he rocks up to Falkirk and could end up biting our arse. Let us not make the same mistake with Baird. Edited January 3, 2015 by qos_75 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose if Falkirk made an official approach (this time) then we would be happy to sell him. However, Houston said your striker is coming from Sweden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSOUTH Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I suppose if Falkirk made an official approach (this time) then we would be happy to sell him. However, Houston said your striker is coming from Sweden. Houston has named the 6ft 3 striker from Sweden but also said he was hoping to get another exp striker in also, maybe Jason Scotland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I've heard there's another Queens player wanting out. No doubt he's useless/overpaid/no great loss. Yep 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us not make the same mistake with Baird. He's our player for the next 18 months. Send him to train and play for the youths/20s for a month. Don' let him go for nothing to one of our rivals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_vortex Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 An experienced assistant manager would have worked away quietly in the background .Thompson has upset more than a few with his billy big time attitude .

I'd guess him and Kerr were two of the highest paid players in the squad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
