I was thinking the same but i think he will be kept as a squad player, although looking at some that are away you could argue Taiwo and/or Longridge would have been a better option from the bench than him. That said if Harris doesnt get punted McKee is prob an upgrade on him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of Hartley's 3 full seasons with us, only his last transfer bonanza was a disaster and that was because we sold Hemmings and Stewart (In which Hemmings apparently had a clause that Hartley was unaware of). Not a bad strike rate. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I’d probably give it too Muirhead again just purely given his time with the club but Hartley will probably have someone in mind if it’s not him. I cant see Harrison giving up a decent contract at Hartlepool to sign for us on the cheap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk_Bairn_1983 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Delighted with yesterday's work. All 3 transfers look exciting to me. I'd prefer if we signed an experienced mid like Tansey though just to add some experience in there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you listen to his interviews think the reason he left as he had things down there causing him issues he wanted away from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye maybe but I still dont see him coming all the way up here to sign on the cheap. He'll be a on a decent contract and I doubt signed as simply a squad player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 It's good that we've got all these guys in for day one of pre-season training. They've got 6 weeks, friendlies and the diddy cup to be moulded into some kind of unit. I expect the loanees will come just before the season starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ka202 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I don’t agree with the McKee slagging, I think he’s a good player. The only thing I can see wrong with him is when the going gets tough he tends to hide sometimes but he has good ability. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both for fitness and squad morale. Having them all (bar a few later ones hopefully) together at the start can only bode well. Yes it's always difficult almost completely changing a squad, and we don't know much about most of these players, but it can work, and one thing I'm really thinking here is Hartley and his recruitment folk are working their fucking bollocks off to find the right type of players. One player signed from a local team, and the rest are from far and wide - Houston would have been the opposite, one if we were lucky from far and wide, and the rest the likes of Flood ( ) and other jobbers released from teams within touching distance of us. I 100% believe we would have signed Willo Flood if Houston was still in charge. Trust the Don. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Flood would have been Houston's marquee signing on a two year deal. I like Houston, I think he has good man-management skills and he was tactically aware (how many games did he turn around with his subs), but he was terrible at recruiting players. How on earth he got a scouting role at Celtic beggars belief. As a coach, Houston would be fine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Mind the heady days of the 90s when you'd sign some fourth-division Eastern European jobber like Dragutin Ristic and have absolutely no idea how good they were because it was the days before YouTube? The excitement and the build-up because you genuinely didn't know if you'd got the next Marco van Basten or some absolute haddie? Those were the days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One season too many I think, and you're correct, his recruitment was appalling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually thinking about that when yesterdays theatre was in full flow, trying to remember how we found out pre season who had signed etc. It must have just been a case of reading the sports pages every day. I can definitely remember the daily record appearing each morning and firing past the turgid Old Firm drivel into the wee diddy team section seeking out any sort of Falkirk story during the season. Eta, recall genuine excitement at the signing Sabatino De Massis...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
