Aye it was all Ally's fault that time for not giving the boy enough games - despite him going on to achieve the square root of fuck all. This time it's the board's fault for not overspending on someone who has played 25 games for us and was being kept out the team until Alves got injured. Players will almost always do what is best for them. Being a boyhood fan is a great wee soundbite to offer up and curry favour with fans but it doesn't really count for much when push comes to shove.

The Monk 3,208 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Seeing as we’ll potentially need a few CB’s this summer I’d quite like to see us go for Kipre, obviously along with some more proven players. I can’t help but think his “nasty” streak would be perfect for us, and by that he’s not Mohsni level mad either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGovanIniesta 1,000 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 If we replace him with Kipre that’s a major upgrade IMO and I wouldn’t complain. If Bates played for Motherwell with Kipre which one would we honestly want? 7.5k ??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_85 656 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 He was pish. Was at Raith Rovers for a reason. We need at least 3 new cb's in the summer which would have left him 4th or 5th choice. he has one the right thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKnight87 17,316 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Bates was the best of a bad bunch. At best he would have been 3rd or 4th choice next season. We've seen young players leave before and do nothing. Wilson and Macleod. Bates isn't a huge loss. Whatever the summer budget is we need to invest it heavily in getting quailty at centre back.

Totally agree we need more nastiness as well as physicality and aggression in our squad.......it's in very short supply and unfortunately what every team needs in this pishy, backwards league.

To be fair if he’s playing international football and is coached right he will stamp that out of his game and use his presence well. The ability gap is a million miles apart but Ramos is hardly shy getting booked or sent off, we heard the same about Bruno and he’s powderpuff, I’d argue we need someone with a nasty streak, especially in defence, no more standing off showing them a corner to place the ball into.

ready1873 3,887 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Sick of the fake positive shite about Bates. The big ginger saviour. He is was/is mediocre in the backwater of Scottish football. He has basic defensive skills and he is well drilled, but is mentally and technically limited and vulnerable v a decent attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen enough of him to be fair, only time I see other spfl teams is when they play us......a bit like most "fans" of said clubs. He may well do a job for us, who knows? We definitaley need more steel and aggression in our squad....no arguments here bud. One or 2 of our current team would be getting their baws booted in the tunnel after games if we still had players with half the character and desire of a Gough, McCall, Soouuunnneeesss, Fergie, McCoist, Bomber Brown et al.........or a MacDonald, Johnstone, Stevens, Forsyth, Greig, Shuggy Burns etc for all you older Bears and Bearettes Don't know if it's just the Buckie kicking in but we will pump these cunts tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
