but the past has no bearing on this coming season does it?? unless he is carrying the same injuries which it appears he is not, lets hope your proved wrong over the season huh I am sure you agree.
with a fit SL playing alongside westy, Horne and Fitz i think that is one huge bag of thought process that will cause most teams to loose sleep this year , add to that the fact that westy is a born support runner as we know then the offloading of Manu, Moa and omeley will be a massive thorn to all we face, i feel really confident going into this year dont you??

Of course a players injury record has a bearing, especially when you are coming towards the end of your career.

But his replacement at saints has been injured more than he has so like i have said he was unlucky last year and even you must agree it was freakish how many bad knocks he took .
however the FACT is he is at present fit as a fiddle and looks in great shape and hoping to have a season that warrants a contract extention for another year .
lets hope he has a blinder huh because non of us have a crystal ball so we just dont know do we, but better to be positive about it huh

anyway catch ya later gotta go play

the guy can bearly open his eye and the injuries he has suffered injuries that would effect anyone at the end of their careers.

Do you actually bother reading peoples posts

Exactly...however that does not mean agents view us as rich so put in over inflated offers, it could mean we may have to pay a price to take into account the different variables. So the reason players do not come is they do not want to, or the price is not right.

Is it me or does anyone else think that these rumour threads have run their course now and are pretty pointless since it looks like we wont be signing anyone befor the season starts, ther isnt a runour on here for the last five pages possibly even more.

Did someone forget to tell this to Calderwood?

Nope cos we still get the usual "we should sign xxx for 2015"

Who does xxx play for

To be fair, he said [icash[/i rich - i.e. they know that we have spare cap space right now and the finance to fill it. This might encourage agents to push the asking price further than usual in the belief that we might pay more than normal given our current circumstances.

I take it you're not suggesting that we should just stump up whatever the player/agent first asks for?
