What depressing news! Obviously there was no interest in him from other league clubs, surprise, surprise!
To be honest, I feel that Blair wouldn't be with the club if it wasn't for PS. We need to look at players who can push this club forwards into at least League 1. I can't see how keeping Blair will help us with this aim. With Corr, Harris and another possible striker being signed, it looks as if Blair will be a 4th choice striker (with Crawford and Asante a close 5th and 6th choice). I know he can play behind the strikers but with the signing on N'Diaye today and with a strong midfield of Grant, Sawyer, Hall, Ferdinand (and Easton at the moment), I can't see Blair getting any more than 10 minutes every other game.
Sturrock Snr tried to replace him with German/Midson/Fairhurst/Jarvis/Crawford last year so he didn't pretend he was perfect.
So in your own words Blair is in front of Crawford and Asante in the pecking order,so shouldn't we be offloading those two before Blair?
a goat is more effective up front than that weirdo
Why did they have to put up his stats of 6 goals in 50 appearances?!
Are they young and talented or just young? We do seem to think that anyone who comes through our youth team is pretty good.
I would think almost any forward in L2 could return the same level. He is a clever player but he is really not up to standards in my eyes. Pleased for PS to have his son around but for me this is a poor move.
Yes at least the club have kept PS happy but it just doesn't feel like the right way to go about things to me.
Personally cant judge Asante as never really seen him. I think Crawford has really got to improve this season or I can see a drop into the non leagues as at the moment he hasnt really done a lot.
Agreed, and from my point of view both blair and crawford had chances in the side to prove that there we were worth keeping. Both in my eyes did very little and should have been freed up to help fund better players.
What we really need to do is offload paterson as he he still has a year to run and is one of the big earners. For me both him and crawford looked great in the cup against a poor barnet side , but that partnership never got a chance.
Would rather use the combined wage of blair pato and crawford of around 3k to bring in class act as all three will be doing naff all next season.
