Cumbriansaint72 Posted January 20, 2022 Report Posted January 20, 2022 Don't know if anyone else has read but one of the apparently interested clubs in McGrath being Birmingham are in turmoil with fans protests against owners, lack of investment, wrong end of table,etc. A club in freefall and not a forward step imo.

Wigan are interested and their CEO used to be the CEO at Dundalk when McGrath was there I’m sure. Quote

They also have picked up a few players from spl. Jason Kerr and Jordan Jones in last transfer window. Although it's league 1 they do seem in a far better shape than Birmingham. Mind you they did leave the Kerr transfer til last day. Quote

Neither did Gocic Both are not part of their long term plans under Maloney and they are also into the final 5-6 months of their contracts. It's all good and well giving players a run out, though if you have players who are part of your future plans in the waiting and these guys are not, they go further down the pecking order. Quote
CraigyBoy Posted January 21, 2022 Report Posted January 21, 2022 Rudden agreed a pre contract 3yr deal with Dundee...Assuming they will now push that through and get him ok board this month Quote

I agree , I made a point of watching him against Kilmarnock because there had been speculation about interest from other clubs , but I didn't see anything to suggest that he can make the step up ! Quote
CraigyBoy Posted January 21, 2022 Report Posted January 21, 2022 If we weren't at least watching Rudden I would be disappointed....Maybe we decided to pitch our tent elsewhere or maybe we just weren't able to compete financially.... Regardless, I would suggest Dundee are in a better position with him ( should they get him in Jan) Quote
cardeebuds Posted January 22, 2022 Report Posted January 22, 2022 People writing Grieve off before he's hardly kicked a ball for us because he came from New Zealand is embarrasing. We've had strikers in the last few years that have recently played in the EPL who've turned out to be carthorses so why don't we wait till he's played a few games before writing him off Quote

There is a view that coming from his background is he's unlikely to be Lionel Messi or go onto play for Bayern Munich. Bargain basement shopping from us again. Time will tell. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Quote

And I'm never wrong Faraway will confirm that Quote
Rascal Posted January 22, 2022 Report Posted January 22, 2022 Grieve looked sharp during his cameo appearance and got himself into a couple of good positions. Time will tell. Cummings off to OZ Quote
