St Mirren Contract thread


Recommended Posts

Sorry if this is already posted somewhere, I couldn't see it. Thoughts on contracts for next season?

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.

This isn't going to decide who stays and who goes.  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.

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

If Jack Baird was to get a new contract for next season I would like to see him continue his development in the Under 20s (reserves) or being loaned out.

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.

Could you not say this about almost every thread? It's just to see fan opinion and maybe get a bit of debate going...

Not in the Latest Scores Thread, Juniors Thread, Last Word Thread, The Dafty Thread and hunners more.

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.

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.

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.

There's no way I'd be letting Baird go. Big potential there. I'd be looking to tie him down to a 2 or 3 year deal. Only getting better.

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.

We are very unlikely to be secure enough to make those changes before the end of the season though. It would need to be due to more injuries or loss of form which are both frightening prospects.

Or substitute appearances, such as Todd's at the weekend, where he got himself an assist. Still lots of football to be played.

Nothing will be done and no contracts will be offered until we know for certain what league we will be playing in next season. That is the way we have always operated.

The OP makes that very clear in his post. No harm in discussing our "wish list" though.
