Superhursty7 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Well sounds like I was not far off Jaffo, and the rest of you , moneys not there to increase the squad from last year, after listening to McCall I hope the full back i.e. Marshall and not Harvie both similar but Marshall the best defensively which we will need. The boy Harvie seem him a few times when at Dumbarton, decent going forward but defensively big questions, why do you think Dumbarton didn't go back for him I think we need a quality keeper and a big dominant centre half to last years squad to have any chance of competing. Who cares why Dumbarton didn't go back in for him, they are a part time club in a lower league I'm sure the lad wants to stay in full time football for dare I say it a bigger club! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hursty Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I'm always reading that we need a 'dominant centre half' to compete. What does that even mean? It's such a generic term. I take it to mean a big lad that challenges for everything in the air - like Mark and Martyn Campbell maybe. Does everyone else in this league have one that their fans all love? Doesnt look like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 So all in all, it looks like we will add possibly McCrorie, Harvie/Marshall, Ferguson, New Cb, New CM. If we get them all then you can’t really argue with our business this window. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 i.e. Marshall and not Harvie both similar but Marshall the best defensively which we will need. I don't know anything about Harvie but if Marshall is better defensively it doesn't say much about him (Harvie). Marshall wasn't the greatest defensively. His positioning at times was borderline woeful. He'd never back out of a tackle though. He has great energy and gets up and down but his final ball is very similar to his positioning: woeful. He was highly thought of by the majority of our support but for me he's the most over-rated player we've had in years. I think he was 'decent' at best, far from spectacular. His biggest asset was his consistency. I think the fact he hasn't been snapped up quickly speaks volumes and the only club he's been linked with is one that would result in a side-step move. (Watch St Johnstone or Dundee sign him now) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Watch St Johnstone or Dundee sign him now) The guy you quoted doesn’t have a clue and I would be amazed if he had ever seen Marshall. He is most likely basing his opinion on Harvie on seeing him play against us once when he was seventeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always looked a great player then seemed to disappear after a couple of bad spells in England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Aye it doesn't appear to have went smoothly for him down south. Looking at it Sheffield United seems to be where he had his best spell but he's been passed around a bit.We sometimes get the odd rumour he's coming back (always the case whenever a decent player leaves us!) but it appears he's at AFC Telford just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGAYR Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Think it’s Jamie Martin. Think it is Danny Graham under 17’s keeper and sub for the under 20’s last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boy ecrepont does not look like a 16 year old wonder if we will see him in the first team this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Is Jamie Martin not the tiny guy (my height [emoji5]) in the u20s. I’ve no idea. I read somewhere that Jamie Martin from the u20s was going to be training with the first team from now on so I presumed that was him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 The boy Harvie seem him a few times when at Dumbarton, decent going forward but defensively big questions, why do you think Dumbarton didn't go back for him Fake news.We didn't get him back because McInness wanted to keep him for backup at Aberdeen. Aberdeen offered him another contract this season and he rejected it in order to find first team opportunities elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
