Redsox1 1,361 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 this is superb news. 3 players in the same bracket class wise as steve davis and we will stroll this league. and he finaly put to bed that pish about 1 million a year is all we need to repay.I can`t believe we are agreeing on something but you are spot on here, Not just 3 players but 3 starters in the class of davis.boyd was a 85% starter so I hope we replace him with someone who can play against everyone.( still be a hard scoring act to follow but maybe a better all round player)thomson 65% starter ( due to injuries)but would have expected him to play most games this season.wilson: Didn`t expect him to play at all this season.( or maybe in league cup games or if we got hammered with injury`s)novo 15% startersmith : non starter this season unless injuresbeasley 30% starter glad we didn`t give him another contract.2 real players to replace.as you said if we get 3 quality players we will win the league. quality over quantity.are people missing whats happening at torbet towers ?they are going for quantity over quality. great news for us because lennon will sign up another load of duds to long contracts which will bite them in the arse next season when they sack him.I also think we might buy/ loan a couple of cheap fillers if he doesn`t think our youths are up to it. although bain said 3 quality I`ve a feeling this preseason might help walter decide if he needs any cheap options as well.hope we can stick with our youths though.

Redsox1 1,361 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 i still honestly dont believe that if we offered boyd £18000 plus £4000 a game yet we can't offer anyone in the current team a new contract.and also that thomson wanted to leaveIf Thomson didn't want to leave he would still be at Ibrox. He left because he wanted more money.And obviously the mouth-wateringly desirable games at Scunthorpe and Doncaster. Who would pass that up when all you had as an alternative was Champions League fitba?whittaker said the other day that thomson always said he wanted to play down south.

But I`m sure they will only get them if they have a value to the club. I don`t think velicka will get another deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott-RFC 308 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 It would be wrong for me to say we are going to bring in another three StevesQuite the opposite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 This is the part of the interview which gives a sort of reference to the standard of player we're trying to get.We want to bring in another two or three players of real quality. We want another Steve Davis - players who improve the quality of the team.It would be wrong for me to say we are going to bring in another three Steves. But what I am trying to do is find three quality players rather than five or six squad fillers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
