TxRover Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Predicting Arnott on loan when Coulson comes back in Jan, probably to a League One side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohnononowheredidRossgo Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Sensational from the club and Super John. What a signing he was an absolute stand out and hopefully can kick on and get a big move in the next 2 years. Hopefully everyone threatening to stop paying into the clubs transfer coffers after we sold Tait are re-thinking. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 1 hour ago, Raith Against The Machine said: If we had a squad of 19 or 20 fit and fighting first-teamers I'd probably agree with you, but as it stands, it's a case of better-the-devil-you-know, for me. While BRS might not win any player of the year awards, he's a known quantity. We've got enough to do in January without taking a gamble on a like-for-like replacement for him too. Pretty much agree with this. His positioning and touch has let him down at times, but he’s also been a solid late game replacement and shown flashes of skill getting past players to help make space for others. His part in the Aberdeen goal springs to mind. Won’t set the league on fire but a decent, known quantity as much needed back-up for the rest of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Fantastic to get Ross back. Feeling very optimistic about the rest of the season. Cue a stodgy one goal defeat to Arbroath… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the opposite about BRS - I think his best games have been when he's started and not looked so good when he's came on as a substitute. Maybe his appearance coinciding with our collapse v Hamilton has clouded my judgement but I don't feel he gets into games quick enough when he comes on. His best performance was away at Morton when he started the game. He's definitely a good squad player nonetheless. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Toun Lad Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Excellent. What a way to get the fans back on side. It will be interesting to see who plays on the left now but I'd imagine Zenatta is a bit more flexible so we'll move him to either the right or a more central position to keep Connolly put wide. f**k aye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he looked poor as a starter down at Ayr, very poor touch which ultimately led to him being booked, but in the last few games he’s come on and looked ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 An ugly reality, especially at this level, that many don’t want to face is our squad is going to be comprised of (hopefully) a few stars in the making, a few youngish players who have topped/are topping out, a few experienced old hands nearing the end, a few young potential talents and a levening of solid, middle of the road, squad players. That being said, we have Ross, Musonda and Tumilty who all have shown ability to play at a higher level…Zanatta, Varian and Dick all have potential to grow into similar types…that’s pretty good for our squad size. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The choice of left wing was also my thought, but Zanatta certainly appears the more capable of taking on Vaughan’s type of role, especially when Tait is gone. We could see one up top with Ross and Connolly flanking and Zanatta freelancing across the pitch just behind them, supported by Matthews and Spencer, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Quote Aberdeen FC has this afternoon reached an agreement with Raith Rovers for Ethan Ross to sign a permanent contract with the Scottish Championship side. The twenty-year-old, an AFC Youth Academy graduate, had a loan spell at Stark’s Park during the first half of last season Ethan rejected the offer of an extended contract this summer, and felt his future lay elsewhere. We have agreed a youth compensation deal with Raith Rovers that includes an upfront fee and significant sell-on percentage that protects the longer term interests of AFC should Ethan leave Raith Rovers in the future.

Ex Machina Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Fair play to the club, that's some statement of intent with this signing. Absolutely delighted with it. Had hoped we'd at least ask the question when Queen's Park were linked but didn't actually expect us to stump up the fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverarover Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 …but I did also say Ross was a pipe dream! Never been happier to be wrong, that’s an amazing commitment from the club. Wonder if the compensation might be tied to playing time?Rovers won't be receiving any development fee for him that's a start so some money off the deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
