roverthemoon Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Hope Tumilty is heading down south. Always prefer that than being sold to some Premiership struggler or worse, a team in our own league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 12 hours ago, renton said: There seems to be a general lack of transfers in the lower leagues so far, and of fairly patchy quality as well. It's definitely a difficult market, there seems to be a real dearth of forwards, particularly for clubs at this level. In the last day or two, Caley have brought in Steven Boyd and Morton have signed Jai Quitongo. With a blank chequebook and all things being equal, I don't think anyone would've looked at either of those two as Championship strikers, let alone good ones. I think that probably speaks volumes about the quality that's available. I think the only other strikers that have signed for Championship clubs this summer are Dipo Akinyemi at Ayr (who's a complete unknown at this level) and Anton Dowds at Thistle. In a normal year, I think you'd be looking at multiple signings with the same approximate profile as Dowds. Ie, players from the division below who've either done well at that level or this one in the recent past. But for various reasons, there just aren't many of those kind of players around. Other than Tomi Adeloye and Matej Poplatnik, I can't think of any other "known" strikers who might resurface in this division, and there's every chance those two will go somewhere completely different. I think over the rest of the summer we'll see more Akinyemis, from down south or abroad who appear out of the blue and could be anywhere between excellent and dreadful, and then the usual raft of loan signings closer to the first league game. I don't think Jamie Gullan is a superstar, but I think if he'd run down his contract at Hibs he'd be incredibly sought after this summer. A lot of clubs, the Rovers included, are going to have to pin a fair bit of hope on a striker who's far from a guaranteed success. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadji Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 On Ryan Schiavone he started out as a winger, played at various youth levels with Scotland local lad from Lochgelly. Not 1st team ready but is a much better prospect than the likes of Coulson and Mahady. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he probably is and as long as we bring someone else in ( matej) then he would be a decent addition to the squad and will probably get better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Saw that Morton had brought in Quitongo. From what I’ve seen of him he doesn’t look Championship quality, but players do turn things around I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Yeah, I'm wondering if players might price themselves out of contracts at this level meaning that we see more signings similar to Boyd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 That would make sense, it's north England and a Scottish manager. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Been going too long Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Glad the first pre season game is this week and hopefully we have a centre half signed up or it maybe Scott brown back there in the meantime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to post in here that that could be a potential destination for him. Hartley took him on loan about a month after he arrived at Falkirk. Gordon Young had him at Dundee United aswell. Clearly they both rate him and PH publicly said he's looking to land some Scottish players. Better him going down south than a potential rival.
