piffer Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I’d be surprised if Greer is still here next season. He wasn’t fit enough to warm up pre match vs Hearts and his half time involvement was a stroll on the pitch. Other games he’s been an unused sub in have followed similar paths.

Beaker71 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 SC will be making space in his budget for some deeper quality in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4mmy31 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 They can't say Findlay has returned to Newcastle because they have released him! Simpson and Keranovic are out of contract too but so far I've not seen anything about their being released/ retained. Is Findlay still not technically a Newcastle player till the 1st June?

Souleycouley93 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Amazed If Greer stays. Commuting from south coast and training at a minimum. Burke/Mulumbu must be getting offered a deal. Wont lose any sleep over Fasan leaving. Spencer was a total mates son deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvis Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Is Mulumbu not a free agent ? Maybe that’s why the club haven’t mentioned him ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Is Findlay still not technically a Newcastle player till the 1st June? 30 June. The poster asked if the fact Findlay hadn't been quoted as returning to his parent club meant that he is "official". All I was saying was that the club couldn't really say that he was returning to his parent club since his parent club has already released him. Well, they could have but then some pedant would have pointed out the above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee_Eck1979 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 The ones announced is basically the club giving them the best chance to find a new club, putting it out in the press hopefully so another club fancies a look at any of them. My take on the rest is that the club have offered a deal and are now waiting on the response from the players in question. I wouldn’t have been adverse to Simpson being offered a deal to play back up to Taylor & SOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Greer has an additional year Really? It wasn't reported anywhere as two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieBus Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Greer was/is on a one year deal with an option I understood. Maybe some negotiations on-going about the option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 As much as I like GGG, he's been injured most of the season and I'd imagine on a decent weekly wage. Think we need to cut our losses... after all our club captain and one of the best central defenders I'd seen at the club in a long time was released early from his contract for similar long term injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Would be surprised if Burke was to get a new deal. Past his best. Surely a better right sided play maker out there than Burke . -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Possibly use the wages of Burke and smith to sign a player like o Halloran. Someone with pace. Sometimes think pace is underestimated in the Scottish game. Jones is a prime example. On another level look at Liverpool full of pace and very entertaining to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace is just about the only thing you can't defend in football. You can use your body if you are physically weaker or smaller and do well, but if someone is just rapid there isn't an easy answer. Too close and you get turned. Stand off and you give them time to build up speed. I think with exception of Jones and O'Donnell we are a pretty laboured side, especially in midfield.

skygod Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Depending on cost I think Burke is worth keeping. He is still a game changer. As I’ve pointed out before, he’s played a total of 50 minutes since the winter break and last started a match at Easter Road in December, when he lasted an hour. When has he been changing all these games? Edited May 25, 2018 by skygod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Fair point still think he is capable of a worthwhile contribution dependant on cost . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan1el Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Burke needs to be moved on, great player in tiny spells and obvious talent but he barely plays, surely money would be better spent on a young unproven that Clarke can turn in to a player / experienced loan player.

Tend to agree on your comments about Steven Smith although he was injury prone and missed a lot of games during his time I also thought he was really quite a decent player and at least he wasn't afraid to put in a tackle I for one wish him well in the future!

SaucyJackPirate Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Stevie Smith was a useless wage thief and I hope he doesn't darken the door and needlessly deplete the finances of another Scottish club. He did put a foot in though, his last major contribution was putting a stupid boot in and giving Hamilton a penalty when we were up 2-1. Worst captain in memory.
