I don't get your logic, He's just back from a 3 month enforced break with lockdown, since they started back at Watford, its really not much longer than a normal pre season would be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure why he would need a breather, as mentioned he’s just had a 3 month break and essentially what’s just been a slightly longer preseason. It’s not like he’s been playing every 4 days or so like the first team players have been. You think he would be champing at the bit to start playing some game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His agent would be chapping Dyers door asking if he wanted to sign him or not. Cause if not he was off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a keeper and Rogers is probably about right to be pushing Bachmann for the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) The recent 2 signings had both said along the lines that deals were verbally agreed a week or more before club had confirmed the deal , it might be down to waiting on all full contracts getting signed or perhaps waiting till the paperwork gets registered with SFA........ The proposed loan deal for Bachmann will still have Watford paying a good percentage of his wages .....so can’t see us putting too much pressure on them to hurry things along if as rumoured initial negotiations had been positive and planned talks would conclude some point after their season ended Edited July 27, 2020 by Scouser2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxyboy Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 There's also no sense in the club announcing 2/3 signings in one day if they can stretch it out, gives them more content to post about on social media in the weeks leading to the season opener. Builds more suspense and speculation more folk talking about it etc etc, wonder if the media team have read any of the posts on here w folk losing their minds at the fact we've not a starting keeper yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think he would be champing at the bit to start playing some game don't know why there's a delay. just trying to make sense of it, badly perhaps. Isn't it reasonable to think it may take a week or so to allow him to move from where he is now to where he's gonna be living for the next year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch14 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Listening to the season previews The Terrace are doing puts our business in a bit of context. St Mirren have no left back at the club at all, not even a youth player. And still only really have Obika of note up front. Dundee United will be relying on Mark Connolly and Mark Reynolds as their centre halves... And don't seem to have much money unless Shankland goes. Dykes looking likely to go from Livi, Cosgrove from Aberdeen... I think we are doing pretty well all things considered. (don't think goalkeeper will be a problem before the usual posters jump in) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuirP Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Just now, CB said: He'd be taking a massive pay cut, if it was true Might be worth it for him to be playing every week and get him in contention for Europe next summer. Don't think Austria have a set number 1 yet. A good year or two up here with us could get him a lucrative move back down south. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign him on a three or four year deal, pay half this year and the other half next year to spread the cost and help our budget? Might appeal to Watford to free up a wage as his value will surely have went down after a year sitting on the bench other than a poor two leg defeat to a league 1 team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTID1869fc Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 This would seem mental from Watford if true, he has a 4 years and must be worth at least at a couple of million, unless billy has been putting the petrol money for the pickup truck in a jar during lockdown, I can’t see how we could afford this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
