SlickDT Posted May 3, 2024 Report Share Posted May 3, 2024 Allows either Levein or a new manager a huge opportunity to completely rebuild the squad and team. Havana Saint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper proper end of an era stuff. Shame we don’t have a Tommy Wright or Derek McInnes in building the squad from the ground but we are where we are.

SaintJet Posted May 3, 2024 Report Share Posted May 3, 2024 There are enough quality in those being retained to suggest that if we can recruit an entire defense and a playmaker we could be in good shape going forward. We have to stay up this year, just have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintJet Posted May 3, 2024 Report Share Posted May 3, 2024 If the worst comes to the worst and we end up in the play off against Raith is James Brown able to play for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted May 3, 2024 Report Share Posted May 3, 2024 Wonder if we're one of the clubs who are asking about Bruce Anderson, as I think we'd look to move May onwards and go with four strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garydavidson Posted May 3, 2024 Report Share Posted May 3, 2024 I would assume Taylor Steven will be offered a new deal and probably a loan at a higher level. Does anyone think we wouldn't offer Liam Gordon a new deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern saint Posted May 3, 2024 Report Share Posted May 3, 2024 Goalkeepers - set. Sinclair back so Richards thank you. Extend Wills. Defence - retain McGowan one year deal to help McClelland, Olufunwa. Extend Parker and sign at least one new one. Midfield - extend Sprangler, Parker. I question whether or not given their injury history whether it is wise to try and extend Wright or MacPherson. What do Charlton intend with DJ? If released worth an offer. Extend Steven and Franczk. Alastair Stevenson said after the double, he was inundated with calls from parents of youngsters to give them a chance they weren't getting at other clubs. We've seen how successful these youth teams have been in the last couple of years. To maintain that level of support we need to bring those who are capable through and not stunt their development. Hence my major need is to have good quality coaching so replace those that are there meantime. The whole negative culture has to change and it cannot with so many heavily indoctrinated. Players look good and go backwards so Messi, Ronaldo, Foden, Palmer, would die here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOB10 Posted May 3, 2024 Report Share Posted May 3, 2024 Would like to see mitov tied down asap 1 year remaining scares me. Also need to try and get philips on board.. although its looking like hes offski? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSJ.84 Posted May 3, 2024 Report Share Posted May 3, 2024 (edited) If Mitov were to sign a new contract, let alone one within the next few months, then I’d say that’s a very poor career choice. Edited May 3, 2024 by PSJ.84 blueheaven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted May 3, 2024 Report Share Posted May 3, 2024 No way Mitov would sign. We are better off cashing in on him whilst his stock is high. I could see us offering a deal for Gallacher as he's probably fairly cheap and an ok back up. Taylor Steven. Not sure about Gordon and McGowan.

Cagey Posted May 3, 2024 Report Share Posted May 3, 2024 Not sure about some of the youngsters but would hope they would retain McCrystal, Mylchreest Steven Parker and off course Fran. We can't afford a big squad so I think they will pad it out with kids. On top of half a dozen decent signings off course. The rest of our out of contract players can go.

Mitov 100% Philips, honestly not sure I’d offer him a contract, as a midfielder what does he offer, don’t think he’s scored a single goal for us, can’t think of many assists, he gets booked far too often and gives the ball away a lot. I d love him to score the goal to keep us up and prove me wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes not looking like a goal threat i do agree on that.. and he does give away a fair few fouls but hes got a good bit of dig in there and a solid presence which is needed.

Mitov will be instructing his agent "get me out of here". I'd be very surprised if he was here in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitov is playing for a team on the way down and seriously, why would anyone enjoy being at this club at the moment? Even as a fan I barely want to stick around any more.

Gordon will likely be offered a new deal, but I think it would be in the interests of both the club and player if he left. He has been far to error prone in the past few seasons.

We have made countless stupid contractual decisions of late, so a new 3 year contract for Gordon seems about right.😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
