If Muzz doesn't sign then I'd be pretty worried. Yeah,if Muzz & Wright or 1 of them doesn't sign we will definitely need another midfielder at least. I think Bannatyne is the only one of the kids that is a midfielder & maybe not a ball winning midfielder. I thought Struthers would have done that. Would have also kept O,Reilly as a replacement for Wright. Can't see Muzz not signing though. Brian Potter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannatyne and Hamilton are both listed as midfielders, but I've no idea if that's central or out wide. Robertson and Northcott have both played out wide for the first team already.

Depends where you look. He had himself down as a left winter on a Q & A when he joined the club. Soccorbase has him as a midfielder & transfermarket as a striker. I was sure I had seen him in midfield. Anyway if anyone should know these young lads it has to be Clelland. Looks like it is not Weir as manager then as he said he was impressed with Struthers before he got sacked from Montrose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranmere Saintee Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 The few times I’ve seen him he was played up front and I’m pretty sure that’s how Montrose saw him. Cagey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drey Wright doesn't owe us anything. I'd like him to stay, but if he doesn't then that's totally fair enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainstand Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 a young prospect going free from Celtic, young Calvin Millar, was tipped as a possible loan for us last season if I remember correctly. Like Drey his development has been hindered by a knee injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 That's it now in the papers that Drey Wright has rejected a new contract. The contract offer was on reduced terms to his current deal. I liked him, and thought he was a cracking player, but you just cant look past his lack of goals and injury problems and argue he deserved an increased wage. His only league goal for the club was a deflected cross against Hamilton. In terms of the league, this is the top midfield goalscorers/assist over his time at the club. Matty Kennedy - 9 goals/ 6 assists David Wotherspoon - 5 goals/ 4 assists Ali McCann - 4 goals/ 2 assists Blair Alston - 4 goals/ 0 assists Michael O'Halloran - 3 goals/ 2 assists Murray Davidson - 3 goals/ 1 assist Liam Craig - 2 goals/ 5 assists Drey Wright - 1 goal/ 3 assists Ross Callachan - 1 goal/ 1 assist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankfoot saint Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Always got to laugh when a player who had no intention of re signing comes out and say they would have re signed but the offer they got wasn’t good enough for them.

blueheaven Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 I liked him a lot and I think under normal circumstances he'd have been offered an improved contract. I also think, from what I've seen, his stats don't really reflect how good a player he is. But with potentially no paying customers for months, and no Tommy around to push the board to keep him, I don't think this could ever have gone any other way. The club knows that there will be a lot of good players floating around for free this summer, so Drey isn't irreplaceable - I suppose now the onus is on us having a manager who can identify and attract them. tucker and garydavidson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Potter Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 I get the situation we're in and everything but given the amount of players that have just left it's a shame we couldn't have at least offered him more money than he's currently on. He was never going to accept reduced terms. Is Cleveland Taylor still available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think he was keen to extend before corona happened. Thought it might have given us a chance to keep him if we'd made him a decent offer. We can't compete with Bristol Rovers ect... so I won't lose any sleep over it. I'm hoping we go 3-5-2 with Rooney on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
