glasgowdon Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 If Ifil goes on loan and Basey is decent then that'll be a good enough swap for me. I think Ifil's wages could be a problem though. Seem to remember hearing he was the highest paid player at the club. Basey seems to be a left back too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have thought that McGhee would let one of his own signings go out on loan? I don't know about anyone else, but i'm starting to feel positive about AFC again. Things seem to be moving in the right direction. Finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I'd say it is wishful thinking but I'd say he is a weak link. I'm starting to feel positive again a wee bit too. This training thing in Cove and well as stuff with the new stadium progressing (albeit in typically Council fashion), Hartley and a few players who look solid enough with Pawlett, Consi (kinda) and Aluko back to fitness as well as our opening fixtures all add up to me feeling cautiously optimistic. As you say, finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Megginson and possibly 1 other player will be sent out on loan so we can sign Basey up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will go on loan but can't see that freeing up any more than £500 a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I'm hoping Mackie gets punted but doubt very much that will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBiscuit Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 as well as our opening fixtures all add up to me feeling cautiously optimistic. This is the real trick though. The best set of opening fixtures in recent memory and we have to get off to a flier. Remember all of us moaning about always getting Hibs/Hertz/Huns/Sellick first game of the season, and then we got ICT at home... we were all delighted, and then they pumped us. If we don't hit the ground running this time it could turn out to be a long season. Again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't hit the ground running this time it could turn out to be a long season. Again. Of course, I think 9 points from the first three games is reasonable. Obviously we could have gelling problems similar to what Accies had when we pumped them 0-3 at the start of last season. I'm fairly confident we'll do well. I reserve the right to retract the above statement once we open with three draws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I think this season, i'm not going to predict how many points we should/could/will claim in the opening games. I want to try avoid any potential disappointment It would be great if we could pick up a couple of wins in our opening games. Hopefully having hartley (a winner) in the team as el Capitano will hopefully inspire the rest of the team to find their winning mentality.

Guest ally s Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Ifil has established himself as nothing more than a very mediocre player. Maybe so but we don't have adequate cover to allow us to send the likes of Ifil out on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ally s Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 We dont have adequate cover if he stays. Great, so we agree that it's highly unlikely that any of our established 1st team defenders will be getting loaned out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Thats the long and short end of it sadly. Yes, he is a poor player but are we stuck with him? Mark's Dross can presumably be shipped out much the same as Jimmy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Yes, he is a poor player but are we stuck with him? Mark's Dross can presumably be shipped out much the same as Jimmy's. True enough, but whether through choice or not, it seemed at times last season, McGhee would play players out of principle. I can't see one of his purchases being shipped out purely on that fact alone. Just my observations mind. Also, I know I'm probably over thinking this, but who knows how the team may improve purely by having a person who knows how to win and talk players through games. I'm not expecting miracles, but Kerr knew fuck all about football or being a captain. We may just see a difference in the team :hereshopingsmilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madbadteacher Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hence why someone's likely to want him, rather than Ifil. 5 months shoring up Hamilton's or St Mirren's defence, then a glorious return to AFC and legend status? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
