Exactly. He's not going to come away with what he did on Friday if he was any less than 100% that deals are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornwall_Saint Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Random guess - Jason Gilchrist. 26 goals in the Vanarama North last season, 23 years old, plays for Southport. Was on Burnley's books a couple of years ago. Who do I want? Mario Mandžukić. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBS Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Mark Crilly? Remember him coming in as a 'marquee' signing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 If indeed Stubbs has secured "marquee" signings, then they are going to be players that are either extremely highly rated young players at EPL/Championship level teams, or more experienced players that have a solid record of scoring goals at a higher level. I'd be surprised if the signings came from the English lower leagues. I think he's finished exploring that option for just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought that would have went towards the new management teams salary, including Brian Rice compo and Heaton transfer. In my opinion, i would also reckon Stubbs would be on a slightly increased salary to what JR was on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Too bad the bloke from The Fall kakked it. He would have been a tremendous Mark E signing. Cannae’ find my coat, been a great summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 12 hours ago, MenstrieSaint said: And Agents play no role in the process ? I'm of the opinion Agents tout players to managers , giving their wage demands , transfer fee , and their footballing statistics and the manager then chooses whether or not to follow up the recommendation . But ultimately the agent has as massive influence on s footballers career , and the better managers are the ones that have good working relationships with a number of agents Didn't I say that.

Cornwall_Saint Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 James Keatings? Rumours going round he could be leaving Tannadice due to Csaba's "25 mile" rule. He's worked with Stubbs before too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfer news Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Was looking back at the tweets for the game cause I missed them and in the video of the team arriving at rugby park and there is a guy I don't recognise after coulson, could be one of Stubbs targets coming to see how good we are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't necessarily need to be the marquee one, Stubbs is still looking at other options. He stated "one or two" to be very excited about but still has 4 or 5 to bring in. Keatings may be of interest to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Pityme Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Anyone else feeling a bit tents waiting to find out who the marquee signings are? if one of them is muscle bound he'll need a big top. i hope they get theses marquee's pegged down soon.
