Tokely deal supoosedly hanging in the balance:

http://www.highland-news.co.uk/Sport/Football/Inverness-Caley-Thistle/Tokely-deal-in-balance-7903792.htm

ROSS Tokely has thrown his Caley Thistle future into doubt by revealing that the club's conditions within a new one-year deal are "very disappointing".

The Inverness CT legend, who has played nearly 600 games for the club, spoke exclusively to the HN about the offer on the table but admitted he could walk away.

He said: "I am happy that I earned a new deal for my 17th season, but I am very disappointed with the offer - it is not what I am looking for or expected.

"I have got to look after myself and make the right decision for my family. I will be in more discussions with the gaffer, but I am unsure whether we can come to an agreement."

Deosnt sounds good

Laugh or greet?

Our contract offer must have been pretty poor if he's getting a better deal at County as they apparently have a pretty rigid wage structure.

Sad day

Or maybe he'd rather just play for another manager.

Laugh or greet?

Been laughing since I heard....the only thing funnier would have been a move to St Mirren

Will the St Mirren fans still boo him at County or will they continue to vent their anger at whoever is playing right back for ICT?

So how many players do County have that have points to prove against us?

Munro, Vigurs, Duncan, and now Tokely

Never mind Gary Warren is really looking forward to playing in the local derbies between us & County both in Inverness and the neighbouring village of Ross

I'm laughing.Why do these ex-players all "have a point to prove against us?" They have simply moved on to another employer in what is, after all, a job. It's us that have the emotional investment by and large. I know what my emotions are after Tokely signing for the one club he said he'd never go to. If he is to be deployed against us next year as Mr. Angry, I look forward to his utter lack of pace (which was increasingly exposed last season) being shown up by Doran etc and resulting in the inevitable red card. Teamed with Boyd and Munro, they will have the most pedestrian back line in history and if Tokely has done this in answer to the personality disordered behaviour of ICT's management, I wonder how he'll deal with the truly deluded at the caravan park. I'd say bring it on Ross. Really.

I will now be calling our neighbours Ross and the county.

I guess time will tell whether Tokelys move will be a epic fail from Butcher or a masterstroke by Adams

It really will add more bite to our derbies. I for one cant wait. Really looking forward to the derbies this season, jaunt through to Ross and show these fermers that while they are welcome in the SPL, they are still the second best Highland team in the SPL

Well over the bridge they're really impressed by Del's new signing :lol:

Ross 'County' Tokely - should make next seasons derby games a bit spicier then....

Looking forward to them even more now. I predict though that should County win the first derby CTO will implode! :burning: Here's hoping that we'll have the last laugh.

Edit - Spelling as always.

I suspect he will be very much a squad player and bench warmer for them, as he would probably have been for us. Still sad to see him go with a bad taste in the mouth.

Bless them. Somebody starts a thread about league reconstruction and then half of them start arguing about Maryburgh and Dingwall Thistle.......

My hunch is that Tokely is hankering after a move to County

Its good that we`re gonna be allowed a caley B team in the SPL !

If he scores and celebrates il boo him. If he doesnt il maintain some respect for him.

But can't say I'm happy with him.

County fans appear to be rather unhappy with the move.

Just a tad lol!

Why shouldn't he celebrate scoring a goal for the team that pays his wages?

29 posts in one topic in the same day. OTB record :lol:

Oh well no huge surprise there then.

Caley legend shows 'respect' for fans by signing for rivals??

WHAAAAAT?! TOKELY'S A TINK!

That's what this thread should be renamed.

Not very surprised at this.

Thanks for the memories. I'm kinda gutted but looking forward to the banter at the derbies.

We just best make some decent signings or we're fecked.

didnt think hed get a start here so went to a smaller club in search for it.

Your an absolute friggin tool. Ooops damn fed the troll, my bad!

Why shouldn't he celebrate scoring a goal for the team that pays his wages?

to show abit of respect to the fans the supported him for 16 years of his career perhaps

Question now is...........Is Adams building a team to challenge in the SPL or is he building a team for going back to Div 1?

Ross has beem a tremendous servant to ICT for more than a decade and a half but, when all said and done, football is his career and his source of income. Whatsmore, it's a career that is coming to it's end.

In these circumstances, if he can squeeze a wee bit of additional income out of his final couple of seasons by making the only move that doesn't upset his domestic arrangements then who can blame him. Good luck to Mr ICT overthebridge....
