Wouldn't be surprised if Mullan went as well and maybe one or two more coming in (if that happens). Possibly Erhahon & Breadner on loan as well.

TopCat Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Priority has to be getting McGinn out. Big (biggest?) earner and can’t get a game when fit. I just fear no other club will touch him given how much he earns and how bad he is. Djorkaeff will surely be mutually consented and McAllister and Erahon (who’s only 18) hopefully put out on loan. They’re not ready this season but could be good enough in the future. Durmus will certainly stay, he’s one of our best players and a match winner. As his superb winning goals against Aberdeen and Kilmarnock have shown. Out of the four strikers the lowest in the pecking order is Mullen. Cooke seems to be third choice behInd Obika and Morais now. Also Andreu and I believe McGrath can play up there if required. Whether Danny wants to stay and fight for his place or leave will be up to him as much as anyone. As 4th choice strikers go he ain’t bad. If he does leave we will sign a replacement, I suspect he won’t and we won’t be signing any more strikers.

S McGinn?K McAllister?D Mullen?E Erahon?Y Djorkaeff?I Durmus?The wages have to be balanced somewhere.Out of all of Goody's signings this summer, I have yet to be impressed by Djorkaeff.Looked OK in a few of the pre season/cup matches. Came on against Motherwell and within a few minutes, had given the ball away and it was 2-0.Makes you wonder if we genuinally thought he was good enough or was he a panic buy due to the lack of signings at the start of pre season. He's still a young lad though so could be worth sending him out on loan to get some first team experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong but I think S McGinn has just gone in for a knee op so would be surprised if he's going anywhere just now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most would agree that he has looked like he was carrying an injury for some time. If this is true and he goea back to his best then that would be good news all round imo.

Could that be because they're development players, have never been in JGs plan this season and will be further down the pecking order when the window is over?

Nope, it could be because we are half way through the season and there will be a January re-evaluation. Same as practically all clubs in the country. Good effort though.

Agree on the first parts but I feel like I hear this every window, carrying an injury, needs an op, will be back to his best. Rinse and repeat. Good club ambassador and leader but think his time is up unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Pityme Posted January 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 OK, point taken. Maybe I should have put "lots of other jobs" rather than "most other jobs" seeing as I have no knowledge of "most" but do have knowledge of "lots".In fact any zero hours contract, or gig economy employee, or one with less than 12 months service is unlikely to benefit in this way these days. So literally millions dont get it.That's the trouble with sweeping statements, you get swept up in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little in the way of access to benefits. You don't work, you don't earn. A harsh school. Still, for the majority they would qualify imo.

If everybody got full wages when sick, doctors surgeries would very busy, that's if you could get a doctor who wasn't sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only when I was self employed did I not get this. Maybe I've just been lucky in the places where I have worked. You've never worked on a building site, a factory or warehouse unless you were staff.

I got to use a hammer to strip the slates and sparking off the roof and to knock cement off bricks so that these could be resold. The real fun was welding the big heavy whatever it was called to knock parts of the structure down. PS. Have never used a hammer since.

Guest TPAFKATS Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 SSP, you talking about. If everybody got full wages when sick, doctors surgeries would very busy, that's if you could get a doctor who wasn't sick. Most doctors will be on at least 6 months full, 6 months half pay.
