Rangersitis 0 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Yep, one of quite a few decent enough strikers we had back then ... only that our first team was "loaded" with quality in that department at the time (and managers were as reluctant as nowadays to blood youngsters even for 20 mins). Dobbie is on loan to Fleetwood Town, thus ending his years in the wilderness! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,239 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Dobbie is on loan to Fleetwood Town, thus ending his years in the wilderness! On 7 August 2014, Dobbie joined League One side Fleetwood Town on loan until the end of the season ... well, at least he was a "EPL player" till recently. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Always thought there was something strange about this, why would anybody sanction contracts where so many end at the same time? I actually don't think that is a bad thing as we can now choose who we really want to keep. It would be worse if we had a lot of donkey's sitting on high contracts and sitting in the stands. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope these players whose contracts finish at the end of season don't decide to down tools before the end of the season... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones we want to keep can ask for silly money. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones we want to keep can ask for silly money. Surely we don't want to keep any of them mate? Boyd at a push is about it. The rest are not nearly good enough for where we will need to be. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole lot of them should be told at the beginning of January that no new deals or contract extensions will be discussed until after we win the Championship. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest are not nearly good enough for where we will need to be. The whole squad needs to believe they at least have a chance of new contracts or extensions if they want to stay, but none of them should be promised anything other than being told 'let's win the league, then we'll talk'. This culture of handing out contract extensions in December & January only to pay players off 6 months later has got to stop. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
