dargo signs with........

[Jaggy666]

Motherwell :009:

Heard last night, bit gutted but what can you do?

u guys probably already know but for those who didnt.

[Pele_Is_God]

VERY disappointed in him, if true of course.

[kencar]

I'd be be a bit surprised if he had committed to signing to anyone just yet  :024:

[CaleyD]

Phew....thought we were going to go all week without another "Dargo has signed for XYZ FC thread", but in true rumour mill fashion someone pulls one from the bag.

[Scotty]

Got to admit the 'Well rumours are stronger than the others that have been around .... hope he stays, but if he goes, then good luck to him, he did a job for us and scored plenty of good goals.

[caley100]

Yeah, he sure did well the guy, Bu66er is that we will see him trying to score AGAINST us next season... :008:

[Jaggy666]

yeah we may have had a few of these kind of posts but at the end of the day this one is legit!

obviously no one will believe this until its official, but i know the deal has been done.

[kencar]

You may well turn out to be right Jaggy666 but I think most of us on here would be a bit disappointed/surprised that he's made such a sideways career move when allegedly much big teams than Motherwell were in the frame to sign him

[Caley Mad In Berks]

Maybe I'm out on a limb here, but if this rumour is true, will we miss him that much?  He hasn't exactly been a prolific scorer this season.  I know he has been injured but nevertheless his goals/game ratio must be way down on last year.  I'd settle for a fully fit Wyness back in the team.

[kencar]

Top scorer 2 years in a row - of course we will miss him :007:

[Caley Mad In Berks]

8 league goals this season  -  I repeat, not exactly prolific!!!

[Scotty]

8 in 23 games is a decent strike rate although it is lower than last season for him. However, lets not forget he was out injured for a fair bit of time.

league goals this season from strikers .....

Bayne - 5 in 33

McAllister - 1 in 17

Wyness - 1 in 19

McSwegan 0 in 9

I think those numbers speaks for themselves, unless of course we want to score all our goals from midfield/defence

Rankin 6 in 31

Wilson 4 in 31

Dods 4 in 31

Munro 2 in 31

Paatelainen 2 in 7

Tokely 2 in 32

McBain 1 in 29

Answer - yes we will miss him if he goes !!

[Yngwie]

Our fairly dismal run from January to March coincided with his absence.

[Kingsmills]

Motherwell have £700,000 from the sale of Scott MacDonald, they would be in a position to offer Dargo a more attractive package than we could.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

I am reliably informed that he has had "talks" with Muvversmell but I am still being told that he wants to stay and is pushing fer the wage structure to be upped whilst his agent is holding on fer a sponsorship deal.

[CaleyD]

I'll sponsor his agent £1 for every mile he takes during his run and jump. I'll sponsor him a further £1 for every foot he drops at the end of it.

[clacher_holiday2]

cant see this to be honest.  as much as motherwell might want him hes played his way into the radar of much bigger clubs

if we couldnt offer a player like dargo more than motherwell then we'd all have to seriously question exactly waht is going on at the top levels of our club

[RiG]

You may well turn out to be right Jaggy666 but I think most of us on here would be a bit disappointed/surprised that he's made such a sideways career move when allegedly much big teams than Motherwell were in the frame to sign him

I was thinking about this and it's not that much of a sideways move. He would make more money than he would with us while still playing first team football c.f. Mark brown who will be on more money but not a chance in **** of starting a game. If anything it would actually be a very smart move indeed.

[Guest Arab4Ever]

Plus he might have friends or family down in the central belt and Inverness is pretty secluded.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

I am reliably informed that dargs is saying that he is going to stay cos of pending changes.

Latest on Dargo from the Press & Journal 19/4/07.......

Caley Thistle manager Charlie Christie is willing to be patient in his attempt to keep striker Craig Dargo at the club beyond the summer.

Former Kilmarnock forward Dargo, the club's leading scorer last season, is out of contract at the end of the campaign and has yet to commit himself to a new contract with the Caledonian Stadium club.

The player has made clear his desire to assess his options before signing a new contract in Inverness.

But, with fellow SPL side Motherwell the latest club to show an interest in the forward, Christie admits he has no idea where Dargo's future lies.

He said: "Craig has said he will leave it to the end of the season and we've made him an extremely good offer.

"We want him to stay at the club and he knows how much I value him as a player.

"But to be realistic, there may well be several other clubs competing for his signature.

"I must stress we have heard absolutely nothing from any team and there has been no approach from anyone."

With Inverness enjoying a rare free weekend due to the Scottish Cup semi-finals last weekend, Christie and his coaching staff used the time to view some more potential signing targets.

The Highlanders need one more win to be sure of their SPL status for next season.

But Christie is stepping up his squad strengthening plans for next season as Darren Dods will leave to join Dundee United.

I was wondering why I couldn't find any ICT stories on the new P&J site and I found this story in the Aberdeen section!! D'oh!!
