Transfer News & Gossip 2009/10: Comings & Goings

i heard they tried richie again but he declined

Mike Ewan is staying and has been taken off the transfer list, We did do a deal with Banks Of Dee For Ritchie Taylor but He is moving abroad and is unable to sign for any club so the deal ended there. We are still working on bring new players to the club and as usual Huntly FC will be the first to know once all the paper work has been done

Andy Troup says : and as usual Huntly FC will be the first to know once all the paper work has been done

oh dear oh dear, any news on the Forres bid for Mike Ewen??

Aparently (on MMPG fornt page) they put in a bid for Mikey, but we turned it down and asked for a five figure sum (seems harsh guys!).

Then Dave asked for Grapies, Neil Whyte & Ryan Green and got told no chance ??

sure someone at the club would've liked to have seen Grapies back at Huntly

The only striker I know Huntly have had talks with is Shallicker.

moving to Forres unfortunately

heard today that andy bagshaw was training with us, but he wants a £2000 signing on fee and £300 a week... any truth in this?

I see our latest signing target has told us to get stuffed. He would rather sit about being paid a good wage doing next to nothing-sounds good

I did see Bagshaw drinking with a few huntly players on saturday night in Aberdeen

Well I am encouraged that we are having discussions with top quality players like Bagshaw and Michie.
Obviously terms have to be at Highland league level and not at Division 2 level and I suspect that may be the major stumbling block.
Hopefully the junior club asking daft fees for their striker will also take a reality check sooner rather than later.
Hopefully there will be some good news soon

If SPL ditch their Reserve League due to the loss of Setanta money there will be lots of lads looking for Clubs I feel

thoughts ??

Well outwith our budgets unless the guys understand that full-time football may not be the way to go. That said its a big drop from spl to hfl,many of these lads if good enough are likely to picked up by angus teams,elgin and peterhead.

James come on Elgin are no better than some of the teams in the HFL..... So i dont think any of these players would be intrested in going there.Just my Opinion.

sorry didna mak mysel clear

the SPL reserve players would drop to 2nd & 3rd div teams who are ft or maybe more central belt and that players may slip back to lower 3rd div & HL etc etc

oops should have said 1st & 2nd div teams ft or central belt ..........

I agree with you,elgin is a town of 40,000 folk plus other areas and they can't get 600 of a gate. The major reason players don't want to go to elgin is the amount of travel,that what ross jack was in glasgow last week signing up players.

Could still be a lot of potentials out there soon though as teams start to trim down squads.

Would it not be worth pushing the boat out that little bit extra to attract a "high profile" signing which would then in turn assist with the recruitment of further signing targets?

Gaz the club will not be held to ransom by anyone at the end of the day there is money there to get players but no one is bigger that the club.

Some of the money other clubs are paying is madness but where will it all end?

that'd be a good signing but looks like speaking to Strathspey and Turriff.

announcement on HL.net as to his destination tonight.

Kenny coull to formartine... would that not of been a decent striker in huntly colours?

Think nearly everyone knows that Kenny was always going to Formartine hence the reason the was made captain for Locos last game

We did speak to Kenny but he had already decided he wanted to go to Formartine.

Andy

Still think we need 2 or 3 more signings soon so they can get playing in pre-season friendlies

It's a bit worrying that we seem to be speaking to alot of players but they are opting to go for other teams

could be due to the money some other teams are throwing at players
