Irishadrian Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I'm very pleased and encouraged by Neil's statement today that 3 players are being pursued with a view to joining the Rebels but if he didn't already intend to then I think he should ask them all this question "Do you seriously want to play at the next level" and I think the same question should be asked of all surviving squad members There are many reasons why players are content to stay where they are and this especially applies to players who have played at a higher level and chosen a softer option More travel More training More expectations re their performances and now the rewards in our league aren't a lot less than a step up that isn't an incentive anymore We still need promotion this year and don't need players who don't IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Having ambitious managers I’m sure it’s asked of every player, although let’s be honest every player is going to say yes when negotiating to sign! The proof is in the pudding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEAVY TRUCKER Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 i still think that our management need to be a little tougherwith the squad , yes you can get some of what you want with a carrot but sometimes you really need to use the stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Of course, Glen's right. Ask existing and potential new players and the vast majority will say they are ambitious and want to play at a higher level. Besides who's to say the potential new player/s aren't already playing at a higher level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlenSTFC Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I think the 3 signings will be a defender, midfielder and striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I think the 3 signings will be a defender, midfielder and striker. Potential signings. I can't see all three saying yes and don't forget they also have to fit our managers criteria to fit in with the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Nothing wrong with the players we have got. Don't think any of them would not want promotion even if ultimately they would be replaced as we moved higher. Players want to give 100% but don't always make it . If they did you would not need managers. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishadrian Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Neil this question was in response to your statement today and I can't see how it detracts from the sombre events of today neither did those who responded You aren't obligated to reply now or indeed at all The events of the next few months will do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
