Premiership players out of contract

[jtsingapore]

STV has put this lost together of out of contract players in the summer. For our lot there's :
Paul Lawson, Lionel Ainsworth, John Sutton, Simon Ramsden, Iain Vigurs, Gunnar Nielsen, Bob McHugh, Josh Law, Stuart Carswell, Adam Cummins, Zaine Francis-Angol, Ross Stewart, Fraser Kerr, Lee Erwin

I'm guessing from previous posts only Sutton and maybe Erwin would be on most folks list to be retained! - view external link

Looking at the STV list I would take not everybody's favourite player Kallum Higginbottom back from Thistle before I would offer a new contract to any of the 14 players we have on it.HE has more talent,goal potential and ideas of how the game should be played.I know there will be WELL fans who would disagree with this but as I said its only my opinion

I may well be in a small minority here,but I have no idea where all the carping about Iain Vigurs comes from, he is by far and away the best "footballer at the club at the moment, yes he may be less enthuiastic at tackling than others, but he has a fantastic footballing brain and 9 times out of ten when he is caught in possession it's because the slow witted dullards he is playing with don't have the sense to run into space to receive the ball he is also the most skillful player on display on a regular basis, although the young fellow

We should learn from market experts (asda and morrisons) and put up a Buy 1 get 11 free offer... bet we'd still get no interest.

Higginbottom is better than 90% on our books and hes far from perfect. I'd take him in a shot over what we have. However Thistle won't want to lose him and I suspect he wouldnt be in any rush to come back to us.

I disagree with what you say that good players, should flourish regardless of those around them ( I know I am paraphrasing, but that is roughly your point). I would give Kenny Dalgliesh as an example that proves this wrong. When he was in the Liverpool team, with brilliant players around him, his ability was clear. When playing for Scotland, he appeared to make lose passes, or give bad crosses, which his club team mates would have thrieved on..

Dalgleish's ability was clear when he was with Celtic and dare I say even when they farmed him out to the Juniors early on... We just need to agree to differ i think vigurs is a waster and I won't try to convince folk who see it differently

Dalglish was a world class player,who worked for his team mates no matter how good or bad they may have been.Vigurs maybe capable of passing a ball but he is incapable of tracking back and helping the team mate playing behind him,which leaves the defender exposed trying to mark two opponents which usually leads to us losing a goal and the game.Good players dont need to be told the right things to do during a game they do them automatically

Exactly, I would even put a question mark over passing the ball. He cant make an outstanding pass very infrequently he can misplace a pass through a casual outlook astonishingly often. Vigurs is 26 he is at his peak and is as good as hes ever likely to be.
