Scottish summer transfers/contracts

[Leitherhibs]

Would be really disappointed if Clarkson was the player on trial, guys career has been on a downward spiral for a few years now and rovers supporting mate down there really doesnt rate him. Hoping Stubbs has better contacts who can come up with more imaginative trialists. Think we need a striker with real pace as well, someone who can get in behind the back four and isnt danny haynes.

As for Iain Turner, again a no. Seen him only a handful of times over the years and hes been below average at best.

Apologies for the negativity folks, just giving an opinion. I'm desperate for new signings to get them in and up to fitness before the season starts but they need to have quality.

How many premiership footballers have played in the World Cup? He would stroll into teams such as Burnley even if he wasn't a regular

Let's agree to disagree then - I don't think Claros is good enough to play in the English Premier League - nowhere near IMHO!

Good luck to him in the states though.

Read a few of the forums for both Bristol teams on Clarkson when I heard he could be a possibility - seemed to be a bit of a mixed bag on his performances.

Most of the comments suggested he was a trier who always gave 100% for the jersey but lacked quality and had pretty much zero pace.

Other comments suggested that due to the lack of service he suffered (as most strikers do) and his own performances reflected pretty much the overall team performance.

As above, not trying to be negative - on paper Clarkson would be a half decent signing IMO.

Maybe Stubbs is planning on playing a system which provides service to this type of player. Him, alongside El-Alagui - it may be a great balancing act. Stubbs has stated that he wants the right players in, not just anyone. Maybe this guy's exactly what we're looking for and exactly what Motherwell aren't looking for.

Best midfielder at ER since Russell Latapy in my humble opinion.

He would be lucky to make the top 10 since Latapy for me.

Thank god there's no truth in the Clarkson stuff, he is a poor player. We need pace all over the team. It's difficult not to be disappointed with the lack of progress so far. The clock is ticking

So does that mean that's BMD was talking ***** about him being on trial........cannae take the plaudits about Farid and no stick for talking ***** with Clarkson pal

Incidentally if you want to know Clarkson is going in with another Premiership team to try win a deal

I hope we have more targets in mind and not just trialists. No harm in looking at a few trialists but don't want all our signings to be based on a couple of good days pre-season training.

Likewise. Marsella's list must contain a few players that we know would enhance our team and Stubbs will know enough about some players that negates the need for a trial. Fair enough checking their fitness but we have three weeks to get that right.

I'm starting to wonder about this alleged "quality" we are signing. With likely sales of a minimum 7k season tickets and 1-2k more easily attained if the club proactively encourage sales with signings, we are still in a position to offer a good enough wage to get a decent quality player in. Other clubs have done it on far less budget. Yes, the championship might not suit all but El Alagui has already signed for us rather than 2 SPL clubs when the right package is offered.

This keeper will surely be set for a back up role and I don't see the sense in the Coulson trial when we signed Gray. If we were bringing in 10 then fair enough having a back up or two for some positions but Forster will cover at RB if pushed as it's far more important to address other positions our first choices are pony.

3 weeks in Stubbsy, plenty work to do.

As with all seasons, we'll have offered quality a deal, quality will still be wiping the tears of laughter away and we're now on trialists.

Last week, we apparently had three offers made according to the managers interview. One has signed, from this I presume the others passed.

It's currently looking more and more like Mogga's first summer when we said 'kids plus some Middlesbrough reserve? why couldn't we have gotten proven quality like Gus Uhlenbeek?'

Let's hope lightening is striking twice.

We still have Stubbs' Everton connections to fall back on. If it goes to the wire, as it often does, I can see us getting some loan signings in from his old club.

I know our season starts early up here but I'm more than happy for the management team to take their time and make sure the players we get in are of a decent quality rather than just signing anyone for the sake of it, the decisions must be correct an not rushed, we still have 6 weeks of the window to go.e

How do you square that with other clubs not waiting to sign quality, but doing it now, JC?

Why can't decent quality be signed now, though? We've waited for signings most other years and are left with loans and rubbish on deadline day. The 'we want to make sure we get quality' is the line that the club has used for years.

Lets hope they mean it this time, but now we're bringing in trialists, it's looking like the 'quality players' has told us to bolt.

I can only presume it's either to do with Stubbs being brought in a couple of weeks late so he's on catch up, or he's very fussy and only wants a certain style/type of player at the club, whatever we must allow him time to get it right.

There must be dozens upon dozens of players out of contract from last season, trialist just means we're having a look at them to make sure they are of the right character for the club and that they can also fit in with squad psyche, no point bringing in someone if they are half decent but a complete bellend and doesn't get on with anyone.

What a sensible post !!
Doubt if it will go down well with certain posters but for what its worth I think you say it all

[Heisenberg]

Folk seem to be getting worked up that we're now getting trialists in. Have we not had them in for the past two/three weeks anyway?

Completely agree. Stubbs main market of knowledge will be u21 which will mean EPL teams taking the time to see who comes in or out of their club then deciding who can go or not so it is only natural that we may get some decent players in nearer the end of the window. If that is the case and it makes us better in the long run then good. He hasnt been in the job long and is also trying to develop a culture at the club as well as a playing style so will have alot on his plate however does need a degree of patience also.

The only plus point of the Summer so far is the averageness of the Yams signings. They are there for the taking if we get our a**e in gear.
