MenstrieSaint Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 A short deal could be possible as Hibs may be still be paying part of his wage . Was he a team mate of Jack Ross at Falkirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soctty Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Folk have been on here earlier suggesting we’re in for stokes, well he has just been released, I wonder if there is any truth in this after all? Nah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Word on the street player inbound today no idea who it is . United are in a bad place would not be surprised to see them taking a chance on Stocks who has been let go by Hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Monkey Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Stokes is a Big Red Button signing for them. It could make a huge difference to them, or it could totally implode. You hope that he'd be a decent addition to a settled, happy dressing room, but an absolute nightmare addition to a fractious, stressed squad. He just feels like the sort of player that could make a difference if his head is screwed on correctly. (Not saying I want us to sign him - I'd rather he went to Ross County or England or anywhere that can't affect us.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely won’t be Stokes. I think he’s chasing a big pay day abroad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I think Neil Lennon can be a bit of a fud, my money would have been on him over most managers to bring Stokes into line and get the best out of him. That clearly didn't happen, and I don't reckon Slabber Chasbo is the man to whip him into shape. If Stokes signs for United, it will be another signal that they are unravelling.

Saint Garf Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 United signing Stokes would strike me as a bit of panic that could cause more upset in the squad. Having said that, there's no doubt about his ability and if something "clicks" for him there then he could do really well. The same applies in terms of him potentially signing for us, but I think they may feel it's a risk worth taking, whereas we probably wouldn't. Add in the fact that we almost certainly couldn't pay his wages, and I don't see it happening. If, in the highly unlikely event that it does happen, we'll just need to trust Jack and James, who've been making all the right calls up until now.

It's a player who will hopefully help put a long distance between us and the chasing pack. Just hope there isn't any unusual weight of expectation on the boy...

The rest shouldn't be of any concern for us, unless we implode, and that's more than unlikely based on our form for the last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never felt the need to join in with the frenzy of guessing/making things up. To be honest, I have had guesses in the past, but never made anything up. I'm no crossword clue compiler, just trying to put a few not-s-cryptic clues out as to the identity of the guy who is signing today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
