PerthSeany Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 How much does it cost to play a few fringe players & youths ?. Don`t see much coming from the Academy so is it worth the money. Well by the time you pay for a bus, a set of officials. Floodlights if it's dark. Someone at the SFA to run the admin side and other expenses I wouldn't even know it's bound to add up.

Time will only tell. It's definitely not going to be an overnight thing though. Suppose Stevie May and Kane are good starts though, in recent times.

rik2304 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Antonio Cassano is without a club. Maybe he could come in for the rest of the season. Give us the attacking spark that's been missing. t.mcneil99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Jenkins Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 A player that sits in the hole between midfield and attack and links play,I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerthSeany Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Its a term used abroad more often I think. I think it's a term used to describe lazy attacking midfielders who can pass but are to fat and lazy to get into the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

541ntees Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 is it possible to send Zander back to QOTS with a clause that he comes back if Mannus gets injured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
541ntees Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I think the next season will be interesting for Clark. I'd personally like to see him out on loan again but dunno if Wright will do that. I've been discussing with other supporters about any lower leagues talent. As mentioned if QotS don't go up Gavin Reilly would be a good target. Despite their crap season Livi fans think Declan Gallagher at CB has real potential to step up (but has a bit of off field troubles). Sam Nicholson at hearts is a player I've liked for ages but no chance he'd switch now. Dale Carrick might also have some potential. Again very unlikely to happen but Ex Youth player Mark Durnan seems to be getting good reviews at QotS for the last few seasons. Looking for a long term successor to Mackay, any thoughts on Duffie at Falkirk? Any other recommendations? The guy i felt we should have tried to take from hearts was Walker. Not sure what his contract situation is but he wasnt even a 1st regular when they were going down. too late now tho as hes one of their main players. the type of player we are crying out for.

He was out of contract last Summer, but Hearts had an extension clause that they took up, so he wasn't a plausible target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
541ntees Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 did he have to agree to it? basically if another club offered him a contract could he have taken it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiangsu Sainty Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) I won't pretend to know the wording of Walker's contract but these optional extensions are typically binding on the other party yeah Edited April 10, 2015 by Jiangsu Sainty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how it works tbh, but I always took it as being a sort of "first refusal" type agreement. And with him being happy there it was unlikely he'd have moved.

And with him being happy there it was unlikely he'd have moved. I thought you were an ardent football manager player? The idea is to bind one party whilst giving the other flexibility, therefore typically clubs have the option but a powerful player might (can't think of any examples though). If the club wants rid of the player then they can release and if he is valuable they can tie him down another year on the same (or pre-determined) terms which is essentially risk free at the beginning of the contract. I'm willing to be corrected but even aside from my slight contractual knowledge, purely from a common sense stand-point having it not binding also makes it essentially redundant - little more than a guide to real negotiations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'm not sure how the contracts work in FM is all that realistic, tbh. You can half the wages of a player like Tam Scobbie simply before telling him you'll double his wages when he makes 5 appearances for Scotland...

PerthSeany Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Usually the clause in the contract is at the clubs discression. Like Dunnes situation. He had no choice. Edited April 10, 2015 by PerthSeany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOODLUM65 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Have always liked Higginbotham and Doolan of Partick anytime they have played against Saints. Doolan seems to get 10 mins.play off the bench. Are these two worth a shout, as they appear to have a bit of movement about them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
