Yata 161 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Exactly what we need to succeed, a 33 year old journeymanWhy aren't we targeting any other the SFL players we have seen over the past year, lots of young talent in the lower leagues, look at dundee united finding gary mackay stevens Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougieRFC 36 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thank fuck, a has been wanker who jumped ship when the first chance arose. Amazed that he maintains his place in the Scotland team after moving to MLS, yet Lee Wallace isn't playing at a good enough level to be selected Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 To say you can only sign players under 26 or whatever is nonsense IMO, however I agree k miller is past it But to say no to players just because of sell on value or whatever is silly.If that was the case we would never have seen dado prso grace Ibrox, or Sir David of Weir hold the defence together and lead us to UEFA cup final (obviously big Carlos had a say in that as well) But you need experience as well, especially with all the young players we have at the moment Say for instance Ryan Giggs or Phil Neville or even Frank Lampard (never going to happen but let's speculate) wanted to sign next season, you would knock back that kind of experience because of limited sell on fee?

Jimfanciesthedude 25,637 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Walter Smith's net expenditure from in his second spell (4.5 years) was only about £10m. Advocaat's net expenditure was almost £50m in a 4 year period.they figures are easily altered to suit arguments thoughWhen advocaat took over he didnt have a first team nevermind a squad, smith left him with nothing, when advocaat left he left eck with a 7.5mill sale in flo, 7.5mill giovanni van bronkhurst amongst other guys that eck sold on for moneysmiths 10mill net spend was covered by the sale of hutton for 9 mill, hutton who was developed and left for smith by previous managers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

campbellWATP 4 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 a see both points do i think kenny miller should come back to rangers no a do notbut do i think green should be interfearing with transfer business nope becuse that is allys jobdo i think green trusts ally with a 10 million transfer budget a dont think he doesdo i think green wants to bring somebody else in as manager yes a do Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
He's blue he's white 717 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Have to agree he would do us a turn for two seasons before we hit the SPL.Jig is too slow now,Miller is the ultimate pro.and has looked after himself.I dont think wages would be a problem as he is passed the stage in his career where he command high wages.I still dont see any young players coming through that you can see any great potential in,apart from Andy Little but he is injury prone,id takr Kenny back.Surely we can cast our net further than Kenny? Seems like ur settling for that option mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shankillblue1 349 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thank fuck!This is another measure of Ally's managerial skills ! Sad thing is, he thinks he is right. He really does need to walk away.Just what we do not need for Div. 2, another hasbeen on inflated wages and pally with the boss. He did score a few, but he is a totall shitebag and no way would he compete against any rough house tactics in Div. 2Charles, I am with you all the way!

shankillblue1 349 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Some amount of pish gets spouted in here thses days. See just because we sign an 18 year old, that doesn't mean every signing will be an 18 year old; same goes if we sign the likes of Boyd, Miller or Thomson.Sorry if it rankles some people among the support but the truth is we have 15-20 young, inexprerienced players with no-one but big Jig to look to for guidance. The side needs a backbone of boys who know the script and can still get it done.Its happening. Deal with it.The one thing Miller NEVER had was a backbone!A yellow streak a mile wide would be more appropriate! FFS, he would be lookin for young players to protect him.

Sweetheart 8,458 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 For a short term solution, i agree we need some players with experience, to guide our younger players through the leagues. However the cost of having Miller would pay for a couple experienced players within the SFL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis 277 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Green is spot on.If the manager can quantify what a 33yr old miller on 300% better wages than someone like LIttle can bring then, yes, by all means bring him back on boardHowever, if he can't, and I STRONGLY suggest this to be the case, then why the outlay?It all stinks of circling the wagons and straw clutching unfortunatelyI'm with Green on this.

kanjo 26,491 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Miller would be a good signng for us for where we are. That experience could/would be essential. I was gutted when we didn't get him 2 seasons ago back off of Bursaspor, hope we do it this time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 If i had to pick i think i would rather sign Boyd the reason is he is a better goal scorer and is a poacher in front of goal.Everyone who has watched us this season would agree that we had alot of chances in front of goal boyd would be the man to put them away.Instead of relying only on Andy Little and McCulloch. boyd is a natural poacher which is what you need in these divisions.
