DannysRevolution Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Was playing golf tonight with a director on the Morton board. He says this deal is being talked about between the clubs and that saints have offered 2 players in exchange (Imrie being the only named one) Ross County are also interested. He said there is a good chance of it happening though:) Edited May 22, 2013 by DannysRevolution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenw05 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Any deal that shifts Imrie is a good 1 we hated him at Accies will be trebled now if he ends up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

class of 76-77 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 If Tidser has a year of his contract to run then Morton are in the driving seat as far as negotiations are concerned. There's no chance of us paying a fee imo so the stuff about 2 players offered in exchange sounds plausible. Imrie and Guy or Mair would be good experienced signings for Morton.

kevo_smfc Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Back on topic, I think that a swap deal involving imrie and tidser would be good business. Morton probably value Tidser higher in value to what we paid for Imrie. Two completely different players regarding positions, though Tidser seems like a creative midfielder who can chip in with a few goals. I know the same was said about Robertson prior to him arriving though Tidser has worked his way from Celtic youth to stint in Sweden followed by a move to Greenock whereas Robertson has been playing at a lower level most of his career.

marrez Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Signing him made little sense, but. . Disagree, he was second division player of the year, he was worth a punt but it hasnt really worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledley 1877 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'd rather keep Imrie to be fair. Tidser hasn't really done much, and I know he's a young player, but we have wee McGinn and McLean who have done far more at a younger age. If we were to get him on a free or a swap deal with Robertson, then fair enough but not for Wee dougie! Can't actually see Guy or Mair dropping down a level either. Think they'll sit tight for a year! Mair said a while ago on his twitter that he was going nowhere (although he's been accepting and replying a host of farewell messages) and guy will take a year to get back from an offside position so he's going nowhere.

He said there is a good chance of it happening though:) Wow! Talk about killing two birds with one stone. Can't see Morton going for that. At least not for any of the players under contract who have supposedly been told to find other clubs (Imrie, Mair, Guy and Adam). None of them are actually worth anything, and they would have to agree to the move probably at a lower wage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedflanders123 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 If a player is told he has no future at the club he has two choices, rot away with no chance of playing or go to a club who will offer him a chance to play. If Imrie is indeed offered then I would assume he would choose to go and play albeit in the first division rather than being somewhere he is not wanted and no chance of pulling th boots on. There is one other alternative and that is to put him out on loan if no deal can be struck to have him permanently move on. Wow! Talk about killing two birds with one stone. Can't see Morton going for that. At least not for any of the players under contract who have supposedly been told to find other clubs (Imrie, Mair, Guy and Adam).

Realistically we would have to sweeten the deal - a friend who is in the know at Ayr Utd. says that when we were trying to get rid of Dennis Wyness in January 2010 we were offering to pay 50% of his salary for the remainder of his contract.

How would that work without sending the player on loan? He would be contracted to 2 clubs unless we paid the 50% up front?
