D'Jaffo Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 I like Ferguson but I’d let him go if it meant we could bring in a better centre half that can cover right back. I can’t think of many improvements AU media could make. I think regular post match interviews with players would be great. They’ve done a great job in the past year what with the coverage of new signings and regular updates from the manager. Big fan of the behind the net view of the goals as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can higgy or rose not cover RB if needed? Not the preferred positions but can do a job if required 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Rose can certainly cover RB, but I wouldbe worried if Geggan is injured as much as last season. Unless Ecrepont is ready to play we definitely need Ferguson to sign as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Given McCalls comments about having full backs that can get up and down quickly I’m not so sure Geggan is capable of that. He’s capable of putting good balls into the box but I can’t see him having the speed required for that role. Unless he’s hoping that Ferguson will play a bigger part next season but I’m not sure he’s ready. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think it’s really crucial we get Ferguson signed up again. Other than young Finn Ecrepont we have no cover in the fullback areas. Fair enough Rose could maybe do a job in emergency’s but it’s far from ideal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would've been a pretty easy one to convince to sign up early IF McCall really wanted him. Lets see what happens in the next few weeks, wouldnt be surprised if we only went for him if other targets fail. Could do a job etc etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a plan, and no doubt even a plan B. Will have something sorted out prior to the league season starting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure why McCall is saying he wants a CB and CM if there’s no money, giving the fans false hope. Or pressuring the board/Cameron to release more funds. McCrorie is a cheap option that will hopefully be steady enough. I don’t know what kind of wage Harvie or Marshall would command but there will be competition which might force us to offer more money. It might be that the CB and CM turn out to be loan signings if money is tight. I’m really not bothered if it’s a young loanee so long as they’re good enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Back to the topic of signings, if/when McCrorie and Harvie are announced, we still won’t have made a permanent new signing. Surely, with they 2 being loans, there must be a budget for at least 2 new signings? Considering all we’ve had is players re-sign and Hart, Reid, Boyle have been let go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvie would be a permanent signing. He’s been released by Aberdeen but aye I’d still expect and want a couple more signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah fair play, was assuming he’s be a loan, didn’t realise he’d been released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
