Bluedell 5,356 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Given the Kenny Miller fiasco, perhaps all this praise for Bain has been premature? Surely getting Miller on a new contract should have been tied up long before we were worrying about Beattie? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely getting Miller on a new contract should have been tied up long before we were worrying about Beattie? And if Miller was to sign a new contract, it does beg the question why we signed Beattie at all. Was he signed on the assumption that the Jelavic deal was off? Or that Kenny Miller was off? It just seems weird that after 2 years of our only strikers being Boyd, Miller, and Lafferty, we'd now want to replace Boyd with 2 players, not least 2 who are highly unlikely to accept being 'rotated' 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Flying Hippo Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Add work permit balls up. Any evidence for it being a balls up? He only signed last Friday night 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only signed last Friday night Maybe that he is not listed on the officail site as being in the squad, other references have mysteriously disappeared. Plus Bain is involved. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flying Hippo Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 After Mizuno getting a work permit on the say so of Pat Nevin, it would be the biggest conspiracy since Jardel if Jelavic was to be turned down. Just can't see it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,186 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm confident Jelavic's signature will be confirmed tomorrow. :nj: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flying Hippo Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 The Herald claims the panel haven't had time to meet yet but will do so tommorow. And that there is a chance it will be turned down (though we'll probably get it on appeal) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They meet tommorow. Herald claims he hasn't put pen to paper yet because if he had, and the permit was turned down, we'd be forced to honour his contract even though we couldn't play him 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
