I would be happy with Sheil on a wing in our side.
My point was he was recruited by EFC to play as a midfield leader at the coalface and that's not what he can do as he is a poor contested player.
On a wing is where he belongs but I'm not paying 1.2k a year plus perks for a winger.

I was sitting in the Southern Stand a few years back and Marchbank was sitting a few seats away. He was wearing some sort of metal plate that went up the back of his neck. That sort of brought home how serious his injury was. Good luck to the (not so young anymore) lad. He deserves a bit of good luck for a change.

We are paying 800k for Zac Williams who really is currently about the same value to the side as Nic Newman.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

An utter waste of money, worse than Gov.

Probably less value given we acquired him with a dodgy Achilles injury, was never a fan of that amount being paid for a rebound only defender but the market sets the price and he had multiple suitors.

I wonder who else would have been stupid enough to pay him that kind of coin. Saad on the other hand is worth every single cent we pay him.

Yep Saad is very durable, can both attack and defend and was fairly priced.
Been excellent value even for a 1st round pick trade.
Williams and McGovern have both been disappointing form and fitness wise and I'd include Martin in the same category but every club has their high priced failures.
McGovern hopefully can continue where he left off when he returns and give us some value but history suggests all three will never play a full season as individuals or together.

All points to the general dearth of talent in the comp and the gambles clubs must make.   Sorta highlights the stupidity in recruiting from time to time, but swings and roundabouts.

When talent doesn't want to come to your team because you are $h!t, you have to overpay.

Now talent will want to come to us because we are good, and they will take a paycut for the priveledge.

At the end of the day, we had an excessive amount of money sitting arund that had to be used (you can only bank so much before it 'expires') so we may as well throw it at someone like Martin, Williams etc

Wishing the bloke all the best and it’s an understatement to say he needs a catch a break but reality is he has played 5 reserve quarters in the last few weeks since missing 3 years!  Hardly enough imo and can’t help but think it’s a desperate move and pushing things with him faster then ideally we would if Weiters didn’t go down.

Time will tell but must have Durden or kemp as the sub.

That's the stupidity of football clubs, he was starring as the 3rd mid, getting on the end of a chain from the inside players and the CheatsFC tried to turn him into a grunt type. He probably accepted that offer because his motivation was more about property development than football.

Anyway, we can't claim the high ground, we are turning Kemp, who was brilliant in midfield rotations just prior to his TAC injury, into an average HBF. Football clubs do this over and over again and it is rarely based on evidence, they break more players than they make, someone like Jones is an exception.

Good to see Marchy back in the thick of it - still young and if injury free can give another 5-7 years to the club. Need him fit and firing desperately
