They said on the radio, his agent reckons even though he's playing regular if he gets a offer in Jan he's offski?  Does he think he's too big to play for us now?

I'm sure its more that if ICT get a good offer for him he can go. John was given permission to look around but he needs to find a club who'll pay decent money for him. He still has 19 months of his contract to go.

just agent talk trying to see what offers he can get...

Brewster quoted in todays P&J saying that he wants him to stay.

Hopefully the quote from Rankin's agent in teh Sun is just them trying to put some pressure on usto sort it out.

also a bit distrubed by russell duncans comments that ict havent spoken to any of the 6 players out of contract,there all free to speak to clubs on tuesday,hass grassa had to much bevy lately?

who are the 6 players by the way?? sounds a bit weird if none have been offered a new deal!

Christ :010:

It's unbelievable that the Club has not got its act in gear to sign up some of these players mentioned.  Does Management want a Club at all?  Some of the players mentioned are the mainstay of ICT, others are the up-and-coming players for the future.

Come on, ICT, get going and put our minds at rest, sign them soon, or lose them and end up with egg on your Management faces.  You must get going and not have the same situation as this time last year,  ie knowing we were losing Darren Dods and not doing anything to fill the gap.  You owe it to the fans, go on, ICT Management, get out the cheque book, the fancy pen, whatever, and get them to sign, asap.

PLEASE, PLEASE, ASAP.

Where were these comments by Duncan? Quite worrying if true.

heard that ranks has sold his house

It would be nice to hear of a player signing more than just a 2 year contract so we can at least get some sort of cash if another club was interested.

I would sign Duncan, Cowie, Black & Munro all on long term deals rather than see any new player join the squad in the winter transfer window

All this is very worrying, but y'know we should trust the club not to **** this up, big time.  It's strange to believe that all these players aren't signed to ICT, surely to goodness it's all in hand.

In paper today that a ?40K bid from St Mirren is imminent and the player now wants to leave  :029:

It would seem Brewster got this one very wrong  :rolleyes02:

if rankin goes,brew better have a suitable replacement lined up,and not some panic buy on 30th jan :33:

40K for rankin is such a joke. He is worth 3-4 times that and ehy would he want to go to st mirren when ICT are flying at the moment. He would be mad to leave.

Meanwhile back on topic....

Sounds like he's having a nightmare of a game this afternoon....

Could be he's got other issues on his mind...  :024:

I'm sure Rankin's on a three year deal so is contracted till august 09

contracts mean naff all these days

Rankin contracted until May 2009 (see here: http://www.caleythistleonline.com/communit...p?topic=5629.0) but I agree with Marty ... contracts mean **** all these days !

What do you think RiG?

If Rankin was to move on I think this ?40k figure would be about what we would get back for him. We'd be doing well to get that. This was the amount St. Mirren originally offered to County for John before we came in and bettered their offer. I can't see St. Mirren offering us ?160k for him - they wouldn't be held to ransom.
