Tek, have you actually considered he's been told there's no money for players until the summer?
Then maybe he should have used his January budget better then, because we 100% need a Striker.

Aye line him up Tek, there's a lot of you at it. The poor lad has no goodwill whatsoever. Deserves better but our poisoned support won't have it. Give him a break.

Re: Out of contract players - Keep or Bin?
As mentioned previously in this thread players that are out of contract at this stage of the season are out of contract for a reason and will likely not improve us.
Better not to even try then.

Re: Out of contract players - Keep or Bin?
I suspect he thought he was stuck with Moller and his wage whilst the window was open so what you are really saying Tek is that we should have turned down the (reported) £700K and kept Moller. Personally, having witnessed Moller's last contribution at Easter Road I have no issue with offloading him for no replacement. As my son said at the game, he makes you think we still have futures as professional footballers. I'm 55! We could put a kid from the Youths up there and it would be little different to Moller's contribution.

Re: Out of contract players - Keep or Bin?
No one expects him to publicly denigrate our current Strikers.
But with Möller departing there was an ideal opportunity for him to say we were a bit light up top and he would like cover.
If the season goes awry now that's 100% on him.

Agreed the first half atmosphere last week at Falkirk was toxic as hell.

100% this. Look at the standard of players we’ve got in January over the last few seasons.

I'd prefer it if you didn't put words in my mouth, Finn.

Re: Out of contract players - Keep or Bin?
It's already been said that the Moller deal came 'out of the blue and was too good to turn down', so I'd imagine there was no time to get a replacement.

I'm sure we will have looked at any available options, no point just bringing anyone in if they won't improve us.

Re: Out of contract players - Keep or Bin?
I’d imagine we’ll definitely activate the options on Graham and Sevelj to keep them another year. I’d like us to keep Sibbald too. Three pretty reliable players and good professionals.
Trapanovski has been too inconsistent and injury prone I feel, but won’t be gutted if we give him another year.

Re: Out of contract players - Keep or Bin?
Re atmosphere at away games being toxic I don't get it, you've spent all that time, money, effort to just go and moan like fuck, some folk take no joy it seems, game lasts 90 minutes. let it play out.
Moller----
Schrodinger's Donkey
Can't afford to turn the money down, can't afford not maybe not replace him.
I get that it was maybe out of the blue, and until it happened there was no need to replace him, by which time we couldn't anyway, but we are short now regardless of his ability/contribution.
I personally would've been looking for an additional striker anyway, I think most fan accepted that keeper and a goalscorer positions were we were coming up short.
Maybe Agyei and Farrugia will go on to be stars for us, but unless they were a taken them now or miss out deal, I think we'd had enough to cope without them.
