Let's hope he takes Malpas IF this is anyway true (and I doubt it)

Bit early to be saying Cox is a talented player isn't it? As far as I can see on my brief search of the interweb he has yet to play a first team game!

It would seem the ICT info is pretty much cut & pasted from the Leicester website although they say he is a right sided defender not a midfielder!!

Was Renegade called Tin Can Fan in a previous life?

I thought we were hoping to have signed those 2 'mystery' midfielders today??

They have certainly improved under Capello but ICT could beat Andorra

Looks like we have our annual contract confusion/saga storyline beginning. Just read the P&J online about Proctor's contract offer and if it is accurate it seems to contradict the info what we thought we knew. LINK A quick summary is that Proctor says he was only offered a new contract yesterday (June 10th). He is now going on holiday but has received 2 other offers one from an SPL club & another from a rival team in the 1st division Confused?? You will be

No real surprise if he jumps ship and no real loss

I heard it was to be a 'dream' team of Pressley, McNamara & McCann

It'll be interesting to see how he gets on there

Just when you think things are bad they get worse. It seems like a totally bizarre situation to me. Obviously it's all down to finances but I was under the impression there was money available from the SFA for running youth programmes. Remember the big stink with County & George Peat at the start of the season. Seems like everything we have strived to achieve over the previous 15 or so years is being dismantled overnight.

Ian Vigurs was our most promising youngster and one of a select group of ICT players that can pass the ball. He arrived at Elgin at 15 y/o played about 20 odd games then signed for ICT and in the 4 years since then has played 20 odd games, which part of promising were you thinking of, 6 years and an everage of 8 starts a season? Everyone has jumped on the band wagon of Vigurs but no one seems to have given a second thought to Zander, same age only been on the pro books 3 years played twice as many times for Elgin and over twice as many for ICT has also chipped in with more goals, and while at Elgin got nominated for 3rd Div Player of Year. He didn't get a chance with Butcher due to injury (think he had an Op) and also released, I think this is who we should be moaning about losing rather than Vigurs or Wood but of course Zander doesn't have his mate on here to push through his personal agenda(CaleyP)!! Ian Black only started 7 first team games for us in his first season at a similar age as Vigurs and he ended up doing rather well. It's also worth mentioning that for a while Iain was vying for place in midfield against quite a few decent and/or more established players eg John Rankin, Don Cowie, Ian Black, Barry Wilson, Russell Duncan & even Ritchie Hart. I don't think anyone is arguing that he was the finished article but most of us could see he had the potential to become a really good player with experience. Sadly that experience is going to come at our local rivals. Black seems to be about the only young player (that I can recall) that has become established in the side during the last 5 or 6 seasons. Of course the argument could be that the others weren't good enough but in my opinion ICT have been very reluctant to blood youngsters of late due to the fact we were always chasing ???'s (in terms of SPL places and the finances associated) Rather than give the likes of Vigurs, Sutherland, etc a run out in the 'meaningless' post-split fixtures we'd always field experienced players like McBain to churn out safe, average performances rather than find out more about the younger players. Of course this policy is going to come back to haunt us as we now only have an experienced core of aging players and untried Under 19's.

St Johnstone are apparently the other club he is in talks with :004:

Nothing stopping County from going for the likes of Proctor, McBain & Djebi-Zadi either (please sign McBain, please sign McBain, please sign McBain, please sign McBain, please sign McBain, please sign McBain, please sign McBain, please sign McBain, please sign McBain, please sign McBain, please sign McBain)

Zander Sutherland may also get a gig at Dingwall if he proves his fitness whilst on trial

Funnily enough I was thinking the same thing. ICT are the only team I haven't seen live on Setanta :angry:

:angry: BBC LINK

It will be free transfers and loanees for us.

Good luck to them both (just not against us) When was the last time County finished above us in the league?

Just another typical close season for ICT fans :allhail: Depressingly I discovered yesterday we don't even have our own page on Teletext anymore

I see we get the princely sum of ?50,000 as our final payment from Setanta for finishing last :allhail:

Think I'm going to postpone getting mine till the last possible minute. See what sort of squad we actually manage to assemble before fully committing myself to another year of hell :allhail:

All the best Iain. Crazy decision by ICT to let you go and I have no doubt it's yet another big mistake

It's something I've always wondered about as well.

Radio money?? :P
