But we've a team full of decent players already. Not sure what your point is. Do you mean we don't have enough decent players, or do you think we need better than we already have?
-
I don't think so. Heard he's since left the club.
-
Nope, I don't believe so. Think he's Gunn, I mean gone. Todorov in behind Gal won't work or happen IMO. Our midfield 3 are expected to be box to box types, lots of energy, harassing etc. That's not Todorov in the slightest. I'd expect either Telfer or McCabe in there. Maybe one starting and the other coming on about 60 mins.
-
LB is covered now, as is CB. If anything I reckon we might bring in a loaner for RB cover.
-
You'd think, but equally why have they not signed anywhere yet? Is it because they've had offers but want more so are holding out in the knowledge that some club(s) / manager(s) will become more desperate and pay through the nose? Are they carrying injuries, known for having an attitude issue etc.? Lots of variables no doubt but when we eventually signed Telfer late on last season, I doubt he'd have signed for less than we originally offered him.
-
Would bring Devenny back in on loan be seen as a Marquee signing then, given we'd be signing a player from the EPL? Huge statement of intent that.
-
I highly doubt signing Gavin Gallagher was signed as an easy option. No doubt McCabe rates him enough to develop and fight for a place in the team, just like the other young players we've signed. For the record, I'm not adverse to experienced players. I think we need a good balance throughout the team, but I do think we have that already. The defence is packed with experience. Rae may be a young GK but played in the Championship with QoTS. In midfield we already have McCabe, Telfer and Frizz that are experienced players. Usually at least one of them is playing each week. In attack, you have Gal, Gabby and Todorov who are experienced. So I do think we already have a good balance of youth and experience throughout the team.

Which is why I said 'almost like'. Just can't get my head round the negativity though. That's undeniable on here. Overly critical IMO, so I can see why people on FB would comment on it. You'd think we'd not just won promotion after years of obscurity. Not started the season well. But people are getting hung up on us not having signed an experienced midfielder yet, when we seem to be coping quite well without it. A wise man said to me today that he'd rather watch players on their way up than those on the decline. Couldn't have put it better myself. Seeing hungry young players starting to realise their potential and playing an excellent brand of football under a highly motivational manager who sets high standards...... We've been crying out for this for years and now we have it. What's not to like?

Think our sending off let you off the hook. McCabe went through the team at half time saying they had not even got started. -
Happy clappy sweety wife (FB) or miserable moaning b*****d (P&B). I'll take the positive pill thanks. Cannot imagine how awful this thread would get if we were actually losing games. Honestly, It's almost like some people on here want us to lose so they can say 'I told you, you can't win anything with kids.'
-
Paying a fee for a youngster speaks volumes about the expected potential he will bring. Excellent stuff.
-
*waits for the impending P&B implosion when it happens*
-
And I am happy to bow to their superior knowledge. Just as I am on his signings.
-
Given Telfer wasn't even on the bench, he may well be injured. Could be the new Gallagher, the gaffer maybe if he's fit, even a new signing? Who knows.
-
Thought we were excellent in the first half anf could easily have been 3 or 4 up. The sending off changes the game but agreed, the way we dug in was superb. McMaster deserving of his MoTM award.
-
What a win. And well done to the 2 young boys who bossed the midfield with Frizz, then held it together when he was sent off. Kids eh?
-
Of course. And I've shared mine.
-
Indeed it is. But many posters on here have slated the facebook fans forum for being too positive. I'm merely pointing out that this forum often seems to be the exact opposite at times and very negative. Everyone is entitled to opinions and I'd never tell someone not to post. Doesn't mean I will agree with them though.
-
Yeah it would include him. Let's look at the current track record. Rhys took a shot on Justin Devenny. He was a stand out last season and won himself a move to the EPL, with us pocketing a tidy profit. McMaster is now shaping up to be a quality addition and on the upward trend. Guaranteed there will already be other clubs keeping tabs on him. McGregor is starting to come onto a game after looking wobbly at times last season. O'Connor still looks raw but has still won us 2 penalties and scored 2 goals this season. Aiken has nailed himself a starting spot and looks every bit the player so far. So based on the above, I'd say our current signing policy is pretty much bang on.
-
Id say the question would be "Who did Airdrie recently sign that manager Rhys McCabe thinks has the potential to develop into an excellent player?" Nobody said he was a starter. But if Rhys sees enough in him, then who am I to question that before he's even stepped foot on the park for us?
-
The amount of football managers on here who know the type of players we should be signing and are certain those already signed are not good enough is amazing. Slate McCabe's strategy all you want but the facts are simple. He got us promoted back to the Championship in his first season. Something many have tried and failed before him with squads full of 'experienced' players. He's got us playing excellent football that is exciting to watch. We've already beaten a Premier league team this season and ran another very close. But no, I'm sure he doesn't know what he's doing. Look at the money Falkirk have forked out on 'experienced' players in recent years. They've been amazing eh....

Just reading the comment and it's mental to think that we've only just been promoted but seem to be getting tagged as the favourites for this one. I don't like that, as its usually when it goes tits up! Hoping for a win though. -

Yeah it's been a while, but good to be back in amongst the other big teams. -

Oh I'm not sad. I'm delighted. Makes some difference watching your team in the Championship.
