Transfer Rumour Thread 21/22

[AraBrian]

That's grotesquely unfair. Name those goals then. I think Robson has improved massively from having to play alongside the likes of Durnan, Donaldson, Edjungele and (shudder) Quinn. He's not the greatest but nor did he have a bad season last year either. Connelly for one was personally responsible for more concessions than Jamie was. If we're getting 200-250k for him then yes that's a good deal. But I'm certainly not going to chuck him under a bus. Rather, I will thank him for his service, his transfer fee and the very best for the future. Arabest Jamie - God Speed.🙂

There's the first one that springs to mind. Mark your man and he doesn't win the header, but no, Robson goes for a wee wander and Watts left with a free header.

Any more? I can name Connolly v St Johnstone, Killie, Motherwell and Celtic immediately straight off the top of my head before I even research any further. 250k for Robson is a no brainer I don't disagree. But i refuse to chuck him under a bus.

I have stood up and defended Jamie a fair bit, but i dont think his moving will weaken us one bit. Duffy and Freeman could do a job there, and if Sporle is still here and back in the team, i see him as being perfect fit for the way we appear to be playing this season.

I think there's is no doubt it weakens us, Duffy is nowhere near Robsons level just now, Freeman isn't either as a full back anyway at the moment, although has showed up well at wingback albeit against weaker oppo but can't say I'm sold on him

Unfortunately we won't be playing four at the back so we might not notice it so much, I do like Sporle but not defensively as a left back more as he offers something different in in attack

We will need a left back in more for sure

As for Robson, good luck to him, sad to see him go as been a good servant and very steady and reliable overall, made the step up well and would have continued to be a solid player for us, fair play to him for getting the head down and improving as has always had his critics, done us well with think 150 ish appearances, was part of the promotion winning side and the derby destructions

I'll give you Connolly but Robson is up there. Basic footballing mistakes that he doesn't learn from. Can't remember the exact game towards the end of the season when he attempts a headed clearance which floats back into his 6 yard box and results in a goal and there was one a few weeks after that Motherwell game. He's been a weak link in the defence since the turn of the year for me and he really isn't very good going forward.

Interview with Tam, still saying there is 3-4 targets that we are talking to. Says it will probably permanent signings, or loans that can be turned into permanent deals.

Pretty much the Courier article I posted yesterday. If he's stringing us along he a pretty damn good liar. I do believe signings are on their way. Doesn't mean I'm happy at the time they are taking but I'm now convinced we genuinely are trying to sign players.

I think it was probably from the same press conference.

Wonder what is taking so long, are we negotiating with a club saying:

How much do you want?
£50,000
We'll give you £40,000
No, £50,000
We'll give you £40,001
No, £50,000
What about £40,002?

Could explain the delays

Again not sure but guessing contracts we are offering players are fair but not over the top so thing decent players might hang on to see if they get a better offer think that might be reason taking so long but could be well wrong.

Don't know if I am right mate but the way I see it anyone can sign the usual crap at start of signing window they are just desperate for a club.Or you can sign good players if you are willing to pay for them or give great signing on packages.The players we need are not so desperate for a club and we cant afford great welcome packages so takes a bit longer to get the right people in may be well wrong but just the way I look at it.
