Tekel Towers » Players who are surplus to requirements

I noticed none of Adam Taggart,Darko Bodul or Aidan Connolly even made the bench yesterday and instead Mixu put 2 young left backs on the bench instead.

In Connolly's case i personally feel there's still a player there though i understand i'm in a small minority amongst our support in that regard.

Is there no option to send Kuhl and Taggart back to their English sides if they're not in first team plans?We afterall sent Conor Townsend back early last season (stupid stupid decision).

Arab_plumber · 22/11/2015 10:46 am

Connolly is a luxury we cannot afford right now Tek, look at yesterday how we got physically battered in the 2nd half once they had a lead to defend.

Taggart and Kuhl are finished here

huntedbyafreak · 22/11/2015 10:48 am

Connolly is pish. Need to get it of boys like Kuhl and Taggert too

Plumber we have very few boys who can dictate a game.Infact we have none really.

Last season i watched Connolly in a game at Fir Park totally take the game by the scruff of the neck and he also had an excellent game when we beat Accies 2-3 there.

He is very lightweight and that may be his undoing but i still feel he's worth at least a bench place.

Seems he's out the door in January though (probably on loan to Championship side like Raith or the like).

Tek · 22/11/2015 11:01 am

I'm thinking the players who Mixu will attempt to move on asap either on loan or permanently are....

Marc McCallum
Henri Anier
Aidan Connolly
Darko Bodul
Col Donaldson
Luis Zwick
Aaron Kuhl
Adam Taggart

Heard yesterday that Simon Murray is not in Mixu's plans and has been told to find a club. Also from the same source apparently McNamara wants him on loan at York.

huntedbyafreak · 22/11/2015 11:12 am

The fact we were chasing the game and only 1 sub was made speaks volumes about the quality of our squad.

There is none

I heard that too funnily enough Ian.

Don't think Mixu rates Murray,he barely gives him any game time.

Tek · 22/11/2015 11:16 am

If you include Murray possibly departing that's uptae 9 players we might see moved on in January.

10 if Muirhead isn't recalled.

arabian_ian · 22/11/2015 11:19 am

Mixu at the Q&A intimated that he was to be bringing back Muirhead to play.

Eh?......no he didn't!!!!

SGMilne · 22/11/2015 12:13 pm

It might be that Connolly or Taggart were injured, but I can see him wanting to move on pretty much everyone who didn't play yesterday and who isn't considered a member of the u20 squad primarily.

And rightly so.

Let's just hope McNamara is deluded enough to want to take some of these guys off our hands.

Yeah. There is not one player I'd be sorry to see the back of at the end of season, with the exception on Billy McKay and McGowan at a push

Rocky Raccoon · 22/11/2015 2:56 pm

Sadly I think both will be gone.

Rocky Raccoon · 22/11/2015 3:30 pm

Marc McCallum
Henri Anier
Aidan Connolly
Darko Bodul
Col Donaldson
Luis Zwick
Aaron Kuhl
Adam Taggart
Justin Johnson
Callum Morris (due to being a sick note, not his ability)
John Rankin (something at the Q&A made me think Mixu is not that keen on him, plus he will be a high earner)

Don't think McKay, McGowan or john Souttar will be here either but not through the managers choice.

I also got the impression that Mixu would rather have a 6' 5" forward ahead of Billy McKay anyway so maybe he is not in the long term plans.

I really feel for Mixu. I think he is getting the best out of overall poor resources. There can be few in the current pool who feature in his long term plans. Of those that he'd like to, like McKay and McGowan, etc., they will be gone by their their own will. Whatever division we are in next year, the team will be massively different.

Edmond Dantes · 22/11/2015 8:31 pm

If these cunts never played again i wouldn't give a monkeys

Taggart
Kuhl
Bodul
Connolly
Zwick
Donaldson
Murray

they bring nothing to the table.

Heard yesterday that Donaldson and Murray have been told to bolt.

Some signings from Jackie MaciNacuntofit

Foo Kin Twat · 22/11/2015 8:43 pm

Now now Edmond you've had a bad weekend.

I think you are being harsh on Zwick. I would have him on before any other keeper on our books currently, albeit he needs to bulk up and toughen up. My first impressions of Donaldson were pretty positive. Bemused as to how he disappeared without making any obvious howlers?

Totally agree with this.

As do I. No Durnan on the list? I watched him closely yesterday and he's awful. Bullied by MacLean all game. Passing poor. Donaldson no worse (tbh probably better)

SuperMario · 22/11/2015 11:06 pm

Zwick (loan)
Donaldson (loan)
Durnan
Murray
Anier
Kuhl
Taggart
Bodul
Spittal
Connolly
McCallum

huntedbyafreak · 22/11/2015 11:06 pm

I would get rid of Dillon as well.

If i had a dog

i'd encourage it to shit on Anier

WeeDude_83 · 22/11/2015 11:11 pm

Simon Murray passed me heading into mcdees or KFC at campy late on Friday night. Maybe getting stuff for his missus but should defo be bedded by that time, not at fast food joints.

Zwick should stay. Has bags of potential.
Durnan should be away, end of.
Donaldson - can't form an opinion, not seen enough of him.
