the gunslinger 3,366 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Tom Walsh, 16 years old, got a cameo ahead of him. I like the look of our youths a lot but it was still an odd situation. is stellas agent the guy that part owns us? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I doubt it, Stella had never been in the UK before. Agents dont need to be in or from the same country as the players they represent though. Some players also have agents in different countries should a proposed move to that country be on the cards. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but I thought Craig Mather's company was pretty domestic based. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,290 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Alan Gow the 2nd... Gow had, much like Stella, quite few players ahead of him in the squad. The player wants to play, the chairman wants no wages spend on players not playing (and not playing for the forseeable future) ... so why the uproar or need to blaim someone? Best solution for all parties involved.* *Interestingly enough, that was the first and only comment on him departing over on the German boards. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so bothered that he's away BD more that I have less and less confidence in Ally's ability to spot a talent hope he proves me wrong. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefanovitch 0 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Perhaps in the summer while on trial Stella showed up well but once signed he failed to settle and guys like McKay, Naismith, Aird and Crawford all performed better and more consistently. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedan 93 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Slightly worrying that the coaching staff have now come to this conclusion on Stella. They had plenty of time to decide on him during his trial.3 weeks is a generous trial time for any professional and he was also involved in bounce games that will have been set up specifically to see if he was good enough. There fore the management were responsible for choosing the team they put Stella in against. They still were obviously impressed enough to give him a deal. Tommy Wilson also was quoted on the website that he was impressed by Stella and thought he could do well. So now we have the manager that has been 'conned' by a player and a reserve coach that has either also been fooled or doesn't agree with the senior manager. Thank god it wasn't a player we paid a fee for. We must learn from these mistakes. Can it really be that hard? As I said,3 weeks is a long trial. That's what?30 training sessions (1 morning and afternoon) plus reserve games. Perhaps it was in the end down to Stellas attitude at not getting in. Guess we'll never know... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
