Barry signs new deal

[Libero]

story here

he certainly deserves a new contract  :clapping03: 6 months though?  :024:

[Scotty]

I would have given him a year, but at Barry's age I guess a rolling six monthly deal is better for all concerned .... if he drops out of the team at some stage and doesnt figure in any plans then both he and the club can decide he can go elsewhere and there is no big fuss.

By Barry's own admission he needed a "kick-start" to get back into the side and was sent to St Johnstone on loan, and the last time Brewster was here he had to lose weight to regain form so maybe Brewster is using the contract length to keep him motivated ......

However, I am glad he isnt going anywhere else as he still has plenty to offer the team (when motivated).

One for the future! :017: :017:

This is Brewsters chance to build his own team for next season by getting rid of all the deadwood.  But he has already bottled!

He shouldn't have been given a new contract, he offers nothing to the team and has earned his new contract!

[The Mantis]

You not been at any games recently then?

[FortressICT]

Aww he must be worthy of a contract with a average performance V Gretna and other average performances against teams that don't even care about their last few games! :029:

[MissICT]

Bazza is a legend!

He's like 35 and still puts in alot.

he was one of the only players on saturday that put in 100%!

proud of him!

bazza all the way!

Huh?? Have you seen him play ever? Even if he never plays for a full 90 minutes again, it makes a huge difference to have him on the park.

[Libero]

Barry is an impact player and still has what it takes to change a game from the bench. In my book that makes him a valuable asset and worthy of a new contract

[MissICT]

Barry is old but he still has energy!

he makes an impact!

It's good to see an experienced player on the pitch!

[Kingsmills]

Pleased he's got a new contract but surely he's done enough recently to merit a full season.

[MissICT]

6 months is a start.

I thought he went to super J for the rest of his playing career!

[FortressICT]

6 months is a start.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA  :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

[starchief]

I agree with Reedee.  6 months is a start. If he can show the same level as he did when he came back from Perth, I'm sure he can win another 6 months.

[Guest TinCanFan]

Agreed, and for that reason I reckon that from now on, Brew should use him as an impact player who can be effective coming of the bench.

Suprb news.. just out of interest what happened with Juanjo and the Ross County full bck we had on trial???

[clacher_holiday2]

I dont like it.  He's should be either staying or going imo.

If earlier reports are to be believed then room to work within the playing budget will be at a premium this summer and this move is nothing short of a stop gap for the squad, even if it does work out and he stays in good condition then he's got next year max to contribute.

He wont be on a cheap contract, his 6 month deal could pay for an extra 12 or 18 months on top of Vigur's new one easily, looking at it from that perspective its a lazy and unambitious move from ICT.

Barry has made his mark with ICT and this summer wouldve been an ideal opportunity for him to move on or hang up his boots with survival assured and glamor testimonial in place.  We could be in for a long hard scrap next year and he may well not be upto the pace required, if Sutherland, Vigur's or even Rory shine then all would be free to move elsewhere in January.  This deal could cost us twice, not directly but Wilson would be taking up a decent chunk of the money that would otherwise have been used to secure other forwards at the club.

[Scarlet Pimple]

Well, Clacher, I am sure that the Board /Management , whatever, has considered all that you wrote and Barry Wilson deserved at least another 6 months for  his loyalty and past energetic, enervating performances.

And Redee if you think 35 is old what would you call 70?

Steady, now, this is not a trick question but your whole future might be riding on the answer. :029:

A good answer would be "older" :001:

[Alex MacLeod]

Has anyone stopped to think that perhaps Barry wanted the 6 month deal. As Scotty says it allows him a get out and move to a lower division if it doesn't work out. Barry wants to play football. He is also interested in getting into coaching and would be looking at such a position if it comes up. His family are happy and settled in Dingwall and he doesn't want to up sticks and move south. The rolling contract will allow him to go to another job without penalty for breaking his contract.

[clacher_holiday2]

Everybody seems to have their sources, anybody close to Barry know what his take on the deal is?

I was thinking about this yesterday too.  Brew said he was going to make a decision just after they'd gone but I don't think his decision has been made public yet.

[CaleyD]

This is a deal that seems to please everyone and, IMO, is one of the few correct decisions regarding players we have seen from Brewster since his return.
