bazil85 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Sorry if this is already posted somewhere, I couldn't see it. Thoughts on contracts for next season? I know it will be dependent on us staying up what we'll do. I'm a lot more confident we'll stay up now so I feel it's time to discuss. My thoughts as below. Also if anyone has any comments on U20s and who should be signed released feel free to post. I haven't seen enough of them. I'm pretty sure I have most of the contract terms correct. 1. Jamie Langfield – Contract up (Out) 2. Stelios Demetriou – Contract up (Extend) 3. Gary Irvine – Contract up (Extend) 4. Andy Webster – Contract up (Out) 5. Ben Gordon – Contract up (Undecided/ Likely Out) 6. Gary Mackenzie – Contract up (Extend) 7. David Clarkson – Contract up (Out) 8. Rocco Quinn – Contract up (Undecided/ Likely Out) 9.

stlucifer Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Nothing can be decided ATM which is probably why you've not seen it anywhere. We don't know which division we'll be playing in so it's unlikely any of the players you've marked "keepsy" would contemplate extending their stay. Also you're quick to judge some of the lesser used players and Discounting Jack Baird I believe is a bad move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a bit of chat and fun to see everyone's thoughts... But I assume you knew that lol Better options for the money than Jack, he's made massive costly mistakes early in the season and I wouldn't be risking him in such an important role as center back but each to their own. As for Todd and Fjelde, I don't think Todd is good enough to push us onto a title challenging team and Fjelde has hardly kicked a ball. Think we need to look at players that will improve and challenge the settled team. Fair enough we might lose a few but I think we could get better than them to replace. Ben Gordon and Rocco Quinn, I guess time will tell but after such bad injuries I don't think it's possible to make a decision right now.

windae cleaner Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 On Jack Baird Many people on here thought Sean Kelly was a dud Easily holding his own down in England Baird is very young playing in an important position in any team i would keep him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough he is still young but I for one would hate to see the club throw him in like Alex Rae did, some of the goals we leaked at the start of the season were nothing to do with a players age. I think he has a long way to go before proving his ability at this level and do we really want him as a starting center back next season? I know it's a bit of a hot topic but in my opinion he hasn't done enough for a new deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mc Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Rocco Quinn is under contract next season. Another of AR's Einstein moves given the player's previous injury history. Decent player to have around if can stay fit? Jack Baird is an almost definite re-sign as we need four CBs and he can keep improving at his age.

E=Mc2 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 We have a squad, and I include players who are not getting in the team at present, that are buzzing with the recent performances. I'm sure they are not at the training ground talking about contracts for next season. Players both in, and not in, the team at present are all playing their part. For me this is close season talk.

kevo_smfc Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'd be trying to tie Morgan and Mallan down to longer term deals as a priority, though we will probably not be in a position till safety to do so. Both players will move on to bigger teams I have no doubt, though to safeguard a decent return on two of our best assets is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big potential there. I'd be looking to tie him down to a 2 or 3 year deal. Only getting better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soctty Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Would you do that and change a winning team? Never said I wanted to see them this minute. Just that not seen enough of them and think they could contribute. It's pleasing that we're playing so well they can't get a shot, in a way.

It would need to be due to more injuries or loss of form which are both frightening prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still lots of football to be played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave The Buddie Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Nothing will be done and no contracts will be offered until we know for certain what league we will be playing in next season.

bazil85 Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Anyone got any thoughts on prospects in the U20s? I went to a couple games start of season and liked the look of Flanagan, who seems to be doing well at Annan now as well. O'Keefe looked good as well and heard good reports on Orsi and Fawkes.
