Hambud Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Those signings were a bit more than fine tuning. Along with Broadfoot, they were the outstanding players in the side! You’re right though. They don’t happen very often! Yet it was David Van Zanten that won player of the year that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like Lewis Morgan not winning POTY this year! Fans wanting to be alternative! Broadfoot, Adam & Sutton were the key players that season. Van Zanten could easily have been replaced and it would not have made not difference! Edited June 19, 2018 by zico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Aberdeen have offered him terms with Hibs and Motherwell interested. For me he is a work horse who can score goals. Personally I thought he was right to stand up and be counted when his team were not performing it shows passion. He has not undermined manager's before in his loooog career.

That said, and as others have mentioned, if he joins up, then he'll get my support the same as every player who wears the stripes. Perhaps he could have a player/coaching role as Langfield had in his first season. I've no idea whether he is cut out for coaching, but he certainly knows how to look after himself, and that is a good attribute to share with younger players. The main issue for me is how much in terms of wages he would be looking for. We don't have a big pot, so will have to spend it very wisely.

Too short termist Ian , we want to be building a team for a higher level , not building someone's pension fund , we've been stung too many times with signing ageing players. For every Andy Millen , there's an Ian Ure a Jim Storrie and a Mark Reid ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern would be that Jamie and Masimo prove that age catches up fast and their contribution on the park turned out to be limited. If cheap fine worth a punt. If it's a full wage then I would prefer we look elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Good article in the Sun today if someone cares to post the link. Stubbs saying he wants 2 first team players for each position he wants the players pushed it's the only way to take the club forward.

linwood-bud Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 We should offer Kenny Miller a pay as you play deal. Hopefully forcing him to accept Aberdeen’s offer. Thus allowing us to pursue Adam Rooney instead...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperately Seeking Susans Posted June 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Given his dispute with them up the road, I think he feels that he has something to prove - on the pitch! Certainly worth a year out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
