Chef 436 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I still think Perry could come good with a good solid experienced head showing him what is what as I wasn't really worried pre injury with the lad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 71,989 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 agreed. But a payoff will be cheaper than holding on to him for 3 more years no?Maybe but it's expensive, I remember hearing Beattie cost about £1 million to pay off so that was £2 million all in for someone who hardly played. I can't see any teams who were interested in these players before hand taking them if they have watched us this season.The players might not move either if they cant get the same wages elsewhere.

This is another problem with modern football, players ave far far too much power.Any other job in the land, If you are not doing your job well enough, you can be sacked with no compensation. but if a footballer does not do his job right, he can dig his heels in and rape his emplyers for millions.

Footballers as with any other employees should be allowed to be given their notice and moved on if the boss feels they are not pulling their weight.

GOAT 30,449 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I was speaking to a Motherwell fan there in work about him, he seems to think he's a cracking player but wont join us as he's heading towards the Championship apparently.Anyway, he turned around and said to me "he's an attacking midfielder, but the game would just pass him by if he played for you's, since all you're going to do is pump the ball up to Daly and McCulloch all game". I honestly had no reply to that. Everyone can see what our tactics consist of! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
debear 603 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 So we stick with him? He and a few others don't deserve to wear the shirt mate.Maybe we get a manager that can get the best of him.His old boy had him playing well, so why can't McCoist?

JograBear 1,074 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Many players we have are not playing well under Ally. They were all good players in other teams with better management. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It showed that we were signing crap players and were not using them, but paying them off was the right thing to do, as long as the club did not have to pay up their full contract.

Figo 91 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Would be pleased with him signing. Had the unfortunate position of being dragged to a well game on a stag do and even though I cant remember much he was one player that stuck out.

ayrshireger 523 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 And I'm sure I've seen him play centre mid before as well Yeah, I did mean to add as well as his natural position in the middle of midfield, but totally forgotten. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Could be good could be bad, another AM maybe isnt the most vital position to strengthen but as already said im sure Ally sees a cracking RB in him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never even skipped the shitty highlights when we were in the SPL.Hopefully I was day dreaming and missing evidence of a decent player.
