I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he's not a match winner or player to be feared. Not good enough for us before and nothing has changed.

Shoot me!

Not a match winner? League cup Semi-final 2014!!

Anyway, he left because Yogi wasn't playing him regularly, which is fair enough..2 years more experience under a different manager, he was still young (still is, actually) & had the cojones to knock back a contract with us to get more 1st team action..think he'd be a better player now than when we had him - and I liked him then..

There's a big Tansey-sized hole in our midfield just niw & I think someone whos played with the club & some of the players before would be an easy fit to improve the team.

Having a Draper/Polworth/Vigurs/Ross midfield (or a combination of..) would be a very decent team - even if just for the championship

Would love ross back but dont think we can afford him.

He competed for places in a good team and didnt let us down .

But need a striker first. What about shane s.

Hes had first team football and is a wiser head and would do a job in the championship.

Definetly a good shout - imho, we haven't made enough use of our youth coming through & shane s has done well.

Wouldn't think Ross's wage demands would be excessive but would think he would rather stay in the premiership, which is fair enough.

We definetly need to be 'smart' with our player recruitment now.

I believe Shane may have just signed a new contract with Elgin, in which case he could be costly.

I am most upset about losing jason brown to be honest. We need to build the kids up and he looked good in the highland league.

Pointless having a youth system if we aren't going to give them a chance. Jamie Duff, Zander Sutherland and Andrew Greig i think they could have done a job for us.

Jason Brown looked decent enough in the U20s, but apparently at Arbroath he was abysmal.

Surely couldn't have been as bad as Proctor

I think we'd be foolish not to at least offer a contract to Nick Ross. I remember when we were relegated last time, Butcher emphasised how having versatile players was a big bonus. Nick Ross seems to have become more of a central midfielder now but some of his best games for us was when he was playing as a winger (even if he is naturally a central midfielder, he was still better wide than Polworth!). He could probably do a job up-front as well. I was disappointed when he left and would certainly consider taking him back.
