The Summer Transfer Window

[Red Zone]

Id give him a year contract. Small basic salary topped up by appearnce fee if he makes it on to the pitch.

Very good player there and worth the risk in my eyes

I agree he is a good player but the problem with what you suggest is that if he gets crocked in September, which is a fair bet, it leaves us most likely with only 2/3 centre backs until we can do something in January so after allowing for suspensions and other injuries no doubt we have defensive issues for a number of games. No point in saving money if we can't put a decent team on the park

i genuinely thought the ash taylor link was just some posters having a laugh , hopefully its a smokescreen to get the boy shaunessy to pull his finger out and get signed

Shaughnessy... Taylor.... Devlin....
Much of a muchness, no?

How dare you suggest I’d pull a random name oot my erse for a laugh.

The same pairing that bossed our defence 9 game winning run without hardly conceding a goal I seem to remember??

Aye... 2 or 3 years ago?
Taylor has been transfer listed by the 15th worst team in the fourth tier of English football.

Catch 22 Stav.
No doubt he’s a good player.
A fully fit, or even 90% fit Hoban would find better than us.
But the obvious & perennial problem is that he’s seldom fit & now had TWO serious, career threatening injuries.
Too much of a gamble.
We can’t afford what would be potentially our highest earner PROBABLY injured most of the time.

I think we will be top 6 no problem. Looking less likely to finish 2nd again though, never mind win the league...ever again.

I don't understand the empty happy clapping speshul bus mentality you are driving when it comes to being worried about what can be achieved without Mcinnes though.

Top 6 is piss easy.

You’re talking to the wrong driver.
I’m net the one saying we won’t finish top 6.

[afc1903mad]

No. I don’t think we’ll be bottom 6.
Where we will be can only be guessed come August when the squads of all the teams are in place.

Right now? A guess...
Fighting for 3rd with Hearts & Hibs.
Killie 6th if Clarke leaves.

That’s a fair, realistic post

Is that why we finished 8th as recently as 2012–13?

Complacency is a dangerous game, if it can bring down great civilisations then it can take down AFC....

That's my point.

Supporters like afc1903mad and JJ will have us being a Dundee United type club. Celebrating being not utter pish.

Roll the dice, one has to stay fit eventually!!
