skygod Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 What about fringe players such as Barlow, Taylor and Connell? Barlow and Connell’s contracts were expiring. They are as much or more part of the first team as Lyle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he’d be off at the first chance. 11 players under contract for next season but how many of them would you regard as starters. If it's first choice then we're in a dire position. We should be looking for two goalies who are better than any option we had last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've probably only included Lyle in the list so they're not listing 0 goalies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is worse than Jones etc. Jones went to rangers to attempt to further his career. SOD will be moving sideways for more money. Head's gone. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie alan Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Much as I am disappointed that sod has decided to go I wish him all the best we don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes as regards to signing players I am sure they will have targets they want to sign. We don’t know when the new season will start. There is still a lot of uncertainty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sky money must be giving the board more certainty than I thought. ? ? Broadfoot Findlay Waters ? Power Dicker? Kabamba Brophy That's not bad at all as a start. Wilson a surprise for me too. Broadfoot is past it and Waters hardly has me out of my seat. Much work to be done when the window reopens, not much can be done at the moment I'm afraid. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS180312 Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Disappointed to see SOD go as he’s been a good player for 3 years in a position we had struggled in for a while before. Of course we would rather he stayed but I think people need to remember that football is a short career, and most of those in the SPFL do not make enough money to be set for life. If he can earn £500/£1000 more a week at Dundee Utd or Aberdeen then of course he is going to take it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOD will be the biggest loss as he is by far the best right back we have had, even when he was allegedly in the huff still one of our best players most weeks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say anything about transfer fees in my post, but this summer Brophy and Findlay will be into the last year of their contracts. Do we risk either one or the other leaving on a pre-contract in January ? A lot will depend on the club's financial situation but I can't see both being here in September. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly will save us a few bob in the short term and that is no bad thing but for me the level of quality recruitment that is required is huge concern. I'm not sure we have the skills and experience at the club to deal with that successfully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
