Ideally we'd have him on a 4yr deal right now and be offering him a 5yr deal with a slice of the pie in return for staying 2-3 years in the team. As it is we've got a bit of a task on our hands to keep him longer than 12 months. It shouldn't be a problem to build the team. If Duncan (or anyone else) looks a superstar after 5 games then we keep him benched until he signs a 3 yr deal. If he proves he's a superstar after 30 games we get him on a 4-5 yr deal which he easily signs because we negotiate an exit strategy and a higher wage You would have to imagine, we have already started negotiations with Barron about an improved contract. I’d expect an announcement to that effect pretty soon. Seems like a good lad, not like Ryan Fraser who fucked off quickly but maybe that was down to Archie Knox Link to comment

Well John McGinn is meant to be a good player so maybe he can perform like him Link to comment

The negotiation would obviously be easier if he didnt even have that control of the situation eg he was already on a 3yr deal. Link to comment

Well he can move to England for around £500k in May 2024 so presumably the club would sell in May-August 2023 if he doesn't sign a contract and his value is sufficiently higher than £500k Link to comment

Donstar83 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Well put it this way, if he goes down there and has an absolute stormer, would you take him back? Link to comment

We'll be happy if we can wangle £75k out of a club at this point. The expectation will be he's being completely written off. Link to comment
Helmet Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Could really do with a couple of signings now to lighten up this thread. 2 Link to comment

No win situation as if he plays well in League Two there will be doubts about the standard of opposition in the fourth tier of guff ball. If / when he plays average we will not be needing him unless we have 5 injured midfielders in January. Link to comment

He would need to be coming back and playing every week. Guess we need to see who we have cm then and if deano has had a good year. No point him coming back to sit on the bench. Link to comment
WesthillWanderersFC Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Is it today they go back pre-season training? If so, it’s quite telling the club haven’t tweeted anything about it, or said there will be REDTV interviews etc. The usual Mel interview type of stuff. Normally they’re all over that when we return. Maybe the fact we’ve got no-one in the building yet (the one we do have isn’t here yet) means they’re keeping a low profile & know the support want to see a heap of new faces. Link to comment

zeroisgod76 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Anyone still got bone dry sheets? Pre season started and a little over 3 weeks until our first competitive game and we’ve barely enough first team players to put a team together? The rumours have been good, but still nobody in other than Rsmadani who probably won’t be with us for another week or 2. Link to comment

I’m sure they’re working hard to bring players in, but to have none in for pre-season training is pretty poor. We must be on list D or E by now. Link to comment

There's not a lot to say is there? The lads went back to training today and ran about a bit, kicked a few balls around. We'll probably do similar tomorrow Link to comment
