The second one is Mark Cowan and third Ray Franchetti, but I'm not sure who the first one is - is it Jim March? Just saw your post and I'll need to look at the photo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arab_R_us Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Airdrie, Dunfermline and Partick chasing the signature of Chris Mochrie according to twitter. Style of play and agent points to Airdrie but he has a good relationship with Mcpake and the pars and you would imagine they would pay more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called this when it became common knowledge that he was out of contract. We have a multitude of midfielders now (pending any departures, right enough), so not sure how high up on the pecking order he would be. Dunfermline fans are getting upset about their lack of action so far, so I guess they’ll want to go all out to get some players in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talented player who has ability to beat a man and IMO would be top of our pecking order and definitely a Rhys type player. Unless Jackie Mac can do something with the deal then unlikely it will be us unless we push the boat out. I recently read Pat Nevin's latest book where he revealed that when he was at Motherwell, John Spencer's salary was 25% of the entire playing budget. That's pushing the boat out, I mean a couple of hundred per week and if Rhys thinks he can help us finish a position higher in the league then its value. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Two trialists starting and another on the bench! Difficult to infer the positions of the starting trialists given that there's no way of knowing yet if we'll be playing a back 4 or 5, a lone striker or two up top, whether McCabe will be at the back or in midfield. And I can't make the game so I'll remain in the dark on all of that, but I'm sure someone that goes along will recognise a trialist or hear a rumour or two and drop some info in here at half 5 (that's a hint by the way, not a prediction!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was standing in my usual spot behind the goals at the Gartlea end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb_diamond Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Anyone at the game shed light on the trialists? Even age and position of they're unknowns. Working today so can't make it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just adding a thought to this, the two starting trialists could possibly be Wilson and Armstrong since both are still contracted to their previous clubs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Aiken only here till January currently but I don't think there's much between the 2. If we got a 6 figure fee for Deano I'd see that as very good business from the club.

I don’t want to lose either of them, and in an ideal world we’d have them signed up for beyond this season and sell them next summer. But if we get a good offer (6 figures) for either or each of them, I think it would be hard to turn that down. As vital as they both are, and Hancock is especially outstanding, I think at our level if you get a good and fair offer for a full-back or defensive midfielder you probably take it? It’s not like a 20 goal striker who’s worth not cashing in on because he wins you games himself. Indeed, their replacements might already have been signed. Already chat online that McMaster didn’t feature today because he’s being sold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
