Diamonds are Forever Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) Good signing. Only question would be if there are any assurances that he can't just be recalled at any point when Hibs have their next goalie crisis.

It's on the Hibs story that they don't have a recall option so he's here for the season. Great to have him back. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Fernández Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Delighted with that, even better news knowing that there's no recall option so we have him for the season no matter what! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds02 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 2 hours ago, FLDiamond said: Not surprised that Telfer is one of the last to confirm. Was ridiculous how long it took for him to sign after appearing for us in the NL cup weeks prior. He’s a journeyman and will sign for whoever is giving him the biggest payday - I’m sure we’ve come at him with a decent wage offer knowing this but he’ll be holding back until our deadline. Undoubtedly Rhys will want his signature prior to training so we’ve got some sort of organized team/set up to get ready for the season ahead. Yeah, imagine by Monday we’ll know but imagine the club thought POTY and a decent offer would have him secured by now Can’t blame him for waiting tbf. If he gives us the decision before pre season starts then I’m not sure what the big deal is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if Kerr McInroy, Chris Mochrie or any other of that ilk become available, we can't turn round and say, can you hold on 4 weeks until Charlie Telfer makes up his mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. we have business to do and no doubt a fair chunk of money being kept aside for CT if he decides to re-sign 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gives us the decision before pre season starts then I’m not sure what the big deal is Telfer should do what's best for him, no problem with that at all. But from our point of view we are currently reserving a hefty portion of our budget for him while he makes up his mind, all the while players that we could be pursuing in his position are getting signed up by other teams. I'd imagine we have set a deadline for him to sign, or we should be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr November Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 A real blow given how important he was last season. A club elsewhere in this league is the obvious move but I wonder if he might try for a move down south again? Seems like that was his plan a couple of years ago and when it didn’t materialise he ended up back at Airdrie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoalForAirdrie Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Was starting to become expected, but still disappointed. Have good faith in McCabe that he will find the right replacements for the players we’ve lost 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny_m Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Rae, Fordyce, Ballantyne, Telfer, Megwa & Aiken all gone leaves a massive hole in our squad. What a job Rhys has on his hands and it will be impossible to replace them with untried guys from lower leagues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passionate Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 There is deffo something short on the contracts for experienced players, wages, length of contract, both. That's Cammy and Telfer both knocked them back, it will be difficult moving forward if we only have a team of inexperienced league in the Championship especially this season's with no noticeable 'ringer' in the league, Rhys keeps saying players want to join, well the time is now.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ77 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Makes the rebuild job even harder but expecting 2 new signings in the midfield over the next couple of days to fill the gap with Lyall, Aiken and Telfer not returning. There’s plenty of plans in place, I’m confident McCabe and co have everything under control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
