Our squad next season

[+snorbens_caleyman]

Possibly all at the stadium this morning for a welcome meeting and induction for all the new signings? 

[LisleRightPeg]

Im hearing that the players along with Ferguson and Ferguson jnr are currently at Fort George. Is anyone able to confirm it?

From what I’ve seen Bray, Walker, Thompson and Cairns are all very good young players who will thrive with the right players around them. 

Keith Bray was setting the heather on fire at the start of last season then Ferguson came in and put him out on loan!

[Charles Bannerman]

WHERE’S CALEY?

[ictchris]

Cameron Ferguson training with us today.

Jake Davidson back as well.

[IBM]

Well that’s reassuring we have one possible new signing

Players who have been recognised on google earth so far, however nothing official yet.

The players I (Jamie MacKinnon on X) knew who trained were:

1. Thomson

7. Bray
8. McKay
9. Devine
10. Davidson
11. Ferguson (Dunc's loon)

I had time on my hands this morning so….

First stop Fort George and what looked like seven or eight over-weight members of HM Forces labouring round the training area on a boot camp…. but you never know, that might have been it.

Then I thought I’d have a look at the Queens Park track which other clubs have been using. Here a squad of 70+ year olds were making brave efforts to walk or hobble round. So maybe that was the 24-25 squad?

But best also check the all weather at the Rugby Club next door since there are going to be a lot of plastic pitches to acclimatise to. It was empty.

I’m sure they could have been plenty other places, but the “usual suspect” venues yielded about as much as recent information from the club has.

Did you check Kelty?

What about Roddy MacGregor & Lewis Hyde any news on them or have they moved to pastures new  ?

Roddy apparently signing for Quuens Park. I don't think Lewis coming back 

Shaw has signed for Morton

That tells us how bad our club is unfortunately 

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

Always thought the plan would be to sign Cameron and then sell him for a fortune. However, playing without a recognised goal keeper could be risky.  

[STFU]

We're going with the 'nearest the goal is in' method instead of a dedicated keeper this season.

[Scotty]

certainly sounds from social media that Ridgers is - quite rightly - looking elsewhere now.

I left at 1130. I’m told that a Caley Thistle group began to arrive at midday.

Poor Ridgers - he has been amazing at ICT over the years.

If they were not going to renew his contract, shouldn't he - and anyone else in the same situation - have received his P45 by now, as Doran did?

[robbylad]

Nathan Shaw off to morton 

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

Mark, Roddy, Lewis - makes a mockery telling supporters we're going to train in Fife because of the high cost of providing accommodation for players in Inverness - these three do not need accommodation and I bet NONE will be replaced by better players.

Would have thought so. Only going of what I read on social media today, no other sources:

 

[IBM]

It's the same old story with Mark Ridgers he has had no communication from the club despite being able to sign on again rather than move from Inverness.

You would almost think they were doing this to spite us all for disapproving the move to Kelty and asking Gardiner to leave because our club is being ruined. This is unprecedented crass behaviour. Are they bringing the game of football into disrepute? Shocking performance from those within who have done irreperable damage to the brand.

I have never been so disengaged from anything in my life. Not sure I can stomach much more of this.

Agree. I feel ashamed of how our club treating people and finding it hard to stay connected to a club so morally bankrupt. Awful times

Maybe get this 20 year old, 3rd choice at county, behind Ross laidlaw and loanee wickens from Fulham last season. Loaned to Brora last year.

local boy fits the bill.
