Stewart on the other hand he has praised regularly.

I'd settle for another Darren Mackie. Unfortunately he might not even be that but probably worth a punt rather than another "project" debacle. 1 Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/10798-summer-2026-transfer-window/page/12/#findComment-284032
GASC1980 Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 I'm delighted we are going to give both of them a chance. Can't be any worse than Ambrose, Yengi or Olusanya. Folk say the 2 Alfie's are not good enough for us. Well i say give them the opportunity to show us what they can do and prove otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/10798-summer-2026-transfer-window/page/12/#findComment-284033

Unfortunately he might not even be that but probably worth a punt rather than another "project" debacle. I don't think he'll be as useful as Mackie. Mackie was similar in attributes to Olusanya. Bavidge seems to be similar to someone like Bruce Anderson. Technically good, but not particularly fast, not really got a burst of pace over ten yards either, and not 6ft4 or as wide as Curtis Main. Those physical attributes are difficult to engineer in a player. Striker is a very hard role without at least one of them. I agree with the overall point about project players, but I also don't think that should be a reason for bringing through a youth player if the trajectory seems insurmountable either due to physical attributes or ability. I'm guessing Bavidge will go out on loan again next season anyway. One of the slightly pernicious aspects of the development loan system is that it allows us to hold onto players like Bavidge, who would otherwise have just gone to ICT permanently, and utilise a team like Arbroath to de-risk our development. I'm not quite sure the balance is correct and necessarily good for lower clubs or young players. Although it undoubtedly benefits other young players, so it certainly isn't black and white. It does greatly benefit us. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/10798-summer-2026-transfer-window/page/12/#findComment-284034
STFU_Donny Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 From what I saw of Stewart last season, I’ve wanted to see him get a run in the first team to see if he could step up. Hopefully he gets his chance. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/10798-summer-2026-transfer-window/page/12/#findComment-284037

BigAl Posted May 18 Author Report Share Posted May 18 Anthony Joseph reporting we have offered Shinnie a two year contract but apparently the club and player are miles apart from agreement. Contract includes coaching role. ICT supposedly monitoring the situation with a view to making an offer to him.

Sounds like he is off though and the fact he never started last Tuesday night, made me suspect he was off, so what you have posted sounds like it could well be true. Shinnie will always be one of my most favourite players. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/10798-summer-2026-transfer-window/page/12/#findComment-284238
manc_don Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Certainly no beef with Shinnie if he does indeed head off. Shame it’s worked out the way it has but I can’t shake the thoughts that he’s helped see off a number of managers. Anyway, he played for the shirt and for that I’ll always be grateful, hope it works out for him at ICT.

Couple of Partick Thistle players on our radar so wouldn't be surprised to see Stephen Robinson at Firhill on Thursday. Slattery would have been good. Nevermind. Stanway is an interesting one. I struggle to get a guage on him. He looks very good, covering a lot of ground and making good runs late into the box. Would be a good replacement for Shinnie I think. I just don't know if he's quite good enough to make the step up. It could be that he's one of those guys that has all the right attributes but he's only got them at 80% of an SPFL player in his role! It's worth a punt though. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/10798-summer-2026-transfer-window/page/12/#findComment-284285

BigAl Posted May 19 Author Report Share Posted May 19 It broke way back in mid January that we were looking at Stanway on a pre contract. We are now four months on and nothing concrete. Can't help but wonder if it was going to happen it might have happened by now, unless of course it has and both parties agreed to keep it under wraps until season end, of that makes sense Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/10798-summer-2026-transfer-window/page/12/#findComment-284289
