Scosha Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) We do definitely need a winger brought in. Harkins is useless out there yet apparently played most weeks out wide for Ayr last season. It is nice to see significant upgrades have been made on Oyenuga, Shankland and Donnelly. Last season we started our first few games with only Quitongo, Oyenuga and Oliver as our attacking options so it's nice to see that major issue has been resolved before pre-season has started. Edit - Pre-season starts on Thursday apparently. I'd imagine we'll have news on Doyle and Russell in the next couple of days.

Tri-TON Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Was reading through the Falkirk thread there and someone suggested Tony Ralston from Celtic on loan. Young defender that's been on the fringes of their first team and is captain of the Scottish under 21s I believe? Fits the Duff's Celtic loanee parameters. Also, surprised to here next to nothing about anyone coming in for O'Ware, not that I'm wanting him to go either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was linked with Plymouth last week according to the Tele and bear in mind the window has only been opened a few days. Wouldn't be surprised if someone came in for him but we would certainly need to command a decent fee for him, 150k+. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Plymouth sending a scout to a game last season is not a credible transfer link. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as Strapp.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strapp looked comfortable any time he got a chance last season. Tiffoney has clear ability and potential but needs to work on his strength on the ball. Pushed off it far too easily. He's young though so it's understandable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Tiffoney has done nothing to merit first team appearances and should be loaned out to a seaside league team. I suspect we'll add in that position and so will see very little of him, which works for me right now. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't do much at all when he played last season. Strapp was much more impressive. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowshed118 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Quitongo didnt do alot the season before last and came in to the first team and was superb until his injury 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Quitongo returned playing in a different position and had to do so because we had no credible options for that role (see McDonagh, Jamie). There's nothing to suggest that Tiffoney will do the same and we already have far better options, so he should be sent out on loan to prove his worth as a first-team player. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scosha Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Tiffoney's best hope is a loan. Can't see him getting much game time this season unless we get another horrendous load of injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Harkins was surprisingly effective for us playing wide left. He doesn't get to the byline but he can deliver game changing crosses from deeper. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy him anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madton Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 It's all going rather too well for Morton's standards. Delighted he is staying with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 The fact it's only a one year deal rather than two does make me think he'll be away next summer, and for just a development fee rather than the decent six figure sum and sell-on clause we should be hoping for, but having him at the club for one more season is a massive boost regardless. If he does go next year, you'd hope Strapp would be ready to step up to first choice by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Heard a wee rumour today that Jamie Lindsay may be available shortly, I thought a few of you would be interested. Can see him having a few offers from this league mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
