David_Morrison Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Chris Burke? He's played like every game for Cardiff since he moved down there and they've been in the playoffs twice in two seasons. I'm pretty sure he's not ready to leave that career for a move to St. Mirren.... With Gavin Rae I think there's slightly more of a chance of us being realistically interested, but I'd be really surprised if he came here. If he's coming to Scotland it'll be with Aberdeen. The Grant Hanley deal is a good shout, I'd thought about it a few times, but haven't really heard much about him other than Levein rates him highly. He's been getting some game time this year too, but they might like to see him go out on loan for experience - and I'd be disappointed if we never made an enquiry. Whether he'd have better options remains to be seen, but I doubt we'd be the most attractive option Quote

David_Morrison Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Pretty sure Chris Burke was released by Cardiff Seriously? Must have been him not wanting to re-sign because he plays all the time and Dave Jones loves him. Must have an offer from a bigger team or something. He's not gonna come back to the SPL anyway! Quote
Dan Is The Man Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Seriously? Must have been him not wanting to re-sign because he plays all the time and Dave Jones loves him. Must have an offer from a bigger team or something. He's not gonna come back to the SPL anyway! Burke was never offered a contract. Same with Bothroyd. Must be some severe cut backs after failing in the play offs two years running. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/footballnation/football-news/2011/05/24/bothroyd-and-burke-are-city-s-big-name-absentees-on-the-bluebirds-retained-list-91466-28749598/ Quote
JJ McG Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 burke is returning to scotland for family reasons, he will be playing in the spl next season but it certainly wont be with st.mirren. Quote
Kendo Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 This is the 1st time av posted but a got a txt fae a m8 who sed Gavin rae and Chris Burke r both in talks wi us !??! A don't think we will get them but if it's true it at least shows a bit if ambition in tht we r trying 2 improve !! I did think Gavin Rae was goin 2 Aberdeen tho ! Coys Is your mate's name sid by any chance Quote
div Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Well Higdon won't be going to Hearts as they have signed John Sutton instead. Maybe Motherwell will make an offer for the big scouser ? Quote
JJ McG Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Well Higdon won't be going to Hearts as they have signed John Sutton instead. Maybe Motherwell will make an offer for the big scouser ? i was thinking the same, i hope higdon stays but i cant see it to be honest. Quote
Dan Is The Man Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 I reckon if Higdons going to go, He'll be going down south. Would be really dissapointed if he was to move on to Motherwell. We should be pushing the boat out to keep him. Quote
Sonny Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Dont think Motherwell can pay much more than us these days. Hearts seemed the most likely choice so glad that has fallen through. Quote
blackandwhite saints Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Nae chance Higgy will go to Murderwell. Quote
Big_Mougie Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Im led to believe that there is a good chance that Higdon is staying with us and also that another striker will be joining us who is still very young and has SPL experience although not a great goalscoring record. Although I must say whenever I have seen him I have been pretty impressed although I'm keeping the name under my hat meantime. This is all on top of Thompson signing! All looking good for next season Quote
Gordon Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Seriously? Must have been him not wanting to re-sign because he plays all the time and Dave Jones loves him. Must have an offer from a bigger team or something. He's not gonna come back to the SPL anyway! He wasn't offered a new contract accordingto that Blue Heaven programme on the other night Quote

blackandwhite saints Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Kirk Broadfoot on a season loan? Now I would absolutely love to see this. No truth just a thought. Quote

JJ McG Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 pars forum saying that they have offered gallacher a 2 year deal aswel as potter. Quote
Dan Is The Man Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 pars forum saying that they have offered gallacher a 2 year deal aswel as potter. Has Gallacher been offered one or two years by us? Only reason i could see him going to them instead of resigning here. Quote
JJ McG Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 Has Gallacher been offered one or two years by us? Only reason i could see him going to them instead of resigning here. he's probably only been offered a 1 year deal with us so it wouldnt suprise me if he went there. Quote
Lethal89 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 He has been offered a 2 year deal by us Quote
Big_Mougie Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 How raging would Chris Smith be if Gallagher did go to the Pars. Someone taking your job twice. Quote
JJ McG Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 How raging would Chris Smith be if Gallagher did go to the Pars. Someone taking your job twice. i hope gallacher stays, i think he is a big player for us. have you heard anymore updates on contract talks mougie, higdon or travner? Quote
