Radford Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 If Tommy Wright had spoken for months about wanting to add another striking option to his pool, maybe someone a bit different to other options, then Denny Johnstone could have fitted that bill. A young guy who had a good season at Morton. As it is, his quotes have been about improving the starting eleven and about how getting this final signing to follow on from O'Halloran and Scougall was going to be the hardest one to pull off. Those are the words of the manager, not fans pulling names out of thin air. TW has built this up as much as any supporter; he's put pressure on whoever it is he brings in. He's loaned out a striker who played 30 games for us last season, so has created the situation where the new signing is going to need to play regularly and make at least as much of an impact as Chris Kane. Maybe he's going to pull off a masterstroke here and he's seen something in Johnstone that he's not really demonstrated in his career to date but the history doesn't exactly point towards it. All a bit disappointing really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 So we've loaned out Chris Kane and brought in the less talented, journeyman version of Chris Kane? Great. Consider my thirst quenched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tree house tam Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 TW has missed out on several other targets and is now getting desperate, that's basically what has happened here. We all seen it coming but let ourselves get carried away with his jewel talk and improving the first 11 bollocks. It's like SB has got 2 of his targets to stop him contemplating leaving, then went "f**k it, no c**t wants him, forget the last target". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just last week Wright was talking about not signing anyone if they wouldn't improve the starting 11. What's changed in a week? I'd rather take a youngster on loan from down south or from Celtic than sign a player like Johnstone just to make up the numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenrothes 1884 saint Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Morton fans seem to think he's good at holding the ball up and bringing others into play, and a good finisher, sounds like a young Macca type 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviemay17 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 All i know of Denny Johnstone is that ( and I have this on very good authority from a girl that I used to work with) is that he only has one ball. surely theres a chant somewhere in that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
