D'ya want some, do ya? C'mon then.. Nah, we've not been linked. I started this thread after he was released, believing he has many attributes we could use. 6'2", drive & athleticism, gets stuck in, got a goal in him, prime age, international, champ proven last 4yrs, tenacious like Hutch with more height & goal-threat + better fitness record, and available on a free.

The three current first choice midfielders, all under contract, are all in that 27-30 bracket. Fine, I don’t have a problem with that, but I want us to avoid again assembling a back up group of a similar age. Surely we have to learn the lessons of that kind of approach We need younger blood, or legs, in that department By all means consider a player like Irvine, but only as a replacement for one of the existing three That is it. We are not building. We put together group of average footballer who are not good enough to get us promoted and that Will need replacing in year or two. Bloody hell even Chris Turner knew what to do and how to build decent squad that could grow and develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the problem we have BANNAN. We need as we have from the playoff final a big strong ball winning midfield a beast if you like. But this wouldn’t work next to Bannan. Irvine isn’t one of these more attack minded or was when he was at his best a few years ago, but again wouldn’t work next to Bannan. In a 2 man midfield Bannan won’t work. Move him out left. Not fussed on Irvine his best days are behind him unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefton owl Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I wouldn’t say Celtic have been ‘linked’, but link below suggests he might be wanted back there. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/thecelticstar.com/should-celtic-re-sign-free-agent-jackson-irvine/amp/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo2001 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Might be a silly question but if a players contract terminates on 30th June and they become free agents, can other clubs take that player on until the end of this season in a playing capacity - ie can you sign a free agent at any time outside of normal transfer windows ?

They have to have been released by their clubs before the transfer window closed I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your probably right but while your building a young team that can take 2 or 3 years to peak the manager gets the sack coz the club aint challenging and the fans are kicking off so you can see why very few managers go down that route …...the new manager comes in with ideas of own and merry go round starts again . … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but he has been, and still is, by a country mile, our best midfield player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
