However, Broadfoot is .. well, not exactly the standard i was hoping for but he is more than capable of doing a job in the SPL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Kirk Broadfoot doesn't deserve a wage rise. Back-up player at best, and if he does sign a new deal, hopefully won't feature that often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Maestro 11,351 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Great news, guy can play all across the back and allows us to spend money on other parts of the squad rather than spending some of the transfer kitty on defensive backups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 As long as It's not the reported £10,000 a week he wanted,then I'd be pissed off.Otherwise he will do for cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A disaster at left back and not the answer at right back.We allow vital players to leave without making much effort to keep them and give Broadfoot a wage rise and a 3 year contract; wonder what he has on the management team?

Ferdasyn 431 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 We shouldn't lose any more players when our squad is so bare. Hope we keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boss 1,941 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Defensively, Broadfoot is better than Whittaker. But that wouldn't be hard.No-one has worked harder to achieve their dream than Broadfoot. If the rest of the squad (Boyd, for instance) worked as hard at their fitness and their overall game as Broadfoot, just think how good they could be. He'll never be a world-beater, indeed, he'll never even be in the 'really good' category - but the abuse Broadfoot takes is unwarranted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterC 12,329 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Totally delighted with this news, he will be a big player for us next season and I am so glad he decided to stay after all. For me he should be one of the first names down on the team sheet on matchdays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon 1,744 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I am not really happy about this at all, not good enough and never will be. He has no pace at all and is a bombscare most of the time.

BeautifulSeas 10 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Kirk Broadfoot doesn't deserve a wage rise. Back-up player at best, and if he does sign a new deal, hopefully won't feature that often.Put perfectly. I have no idea what his wage is, but I hope it isn't too much. The only thing I can possibly see coming from this is Davis back in to CM, Whittaker RM and Broadfoot RB. If the plan is to leave Whittaker out, we will certainly miss his goals. That has been one of the great things, goals not only coming from the forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott-RFC 308 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 He is far far far too slow.He can play anywhere in the backline, but he will be a liability right across it, and teams will pick him out as our weak point every time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I would prefer him to move on. And I really hope we have not increased his wages by a hefty amount. And I think we will need to sign another CB if Wilson and Bougherra leave. That will leave us with CB options of Weir, Webster and Broadfoot and tbh thhat does not fill me with confidence.
