bobbykdy Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 This has to go down as an ultimately expensive fuckup by whoever scouted him, however I also get the impression Murray didn't like him much by the way he readily savaged him in public after Cove. If that is the case I hope it isn't just simply a case of that as if there is a player in there then it is Murray's duty to help him show it. Time will tell I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's to save money I expect to see a player signed. The chair and IM have mentioned needing experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Ah well. The ultimate cult figure. Let’s face it, he was piss poor. Better to let him go than waste time hoping he’d eventually come good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Heartbroken. But aye, the right decision. Murray obviously doesn't fancy him, and on all available evidence you'd be stunned if he went and had a substantial impact at a similar level to this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 10 minutes ago, Dalgety Rover said: This is madness. Start of the season, we had Gullan and Connell. By October it was Gullan, Connell and Frederiksen. By Christmas it was Gullan, Vaughan, Connell and Frederiksen. Now, it's Gullan, Vaughan and Akio. Even allowing for Akio being useless I'd argue we're still better off than at the start of the season! If you asked me whether we needed a big Number 9 to hold the ball up or an actual honest to god hit the byline winger... I might actually go for the latter at this stage. Barring Ross - who isn't fit, all our wide guys come inside. It might be nice to have someone who's first thought is to take on a full back. In some tactical situations it might allow us to get to the byline quick and maybe set up a decent cutback/tap in... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Theres one thing,we know how to throw money down the drain.We waited long enough on securing a work permit,wages,no doubt accommodation and possibly a pay off even though hes left by mutual agreement Dont get others that IM obviously doesn,t not fancy or rate him,pretty sure he,ll have had some involvement in signing him in the first place 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 When you total the money we have spent on 3 strikers over the last 2 seasons who are lucky if they played 3 games between them you can't help thinking we could've afforded a half decent one that could've fired us to the premier league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think after going to that bother, we could have played him a bit more. Anyway, we’ve still got a couple of obscure internationalists in the squad, so I’ll cope. If this is our new signing strategy, can we bring back Harry Panayiotou, star of St Kitts and Nevis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJimmyofNic Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 It's a shame it never worked out, but in the end he didn't do enough to even justify a place on the bench, hope fully its money saved toward a better replacement rather than yet another expensive mistake 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFC_Liam Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Euan Murray could be off to the pars or Falkirk on Loan…. I know it leaves a sour taste in our mouths by the way that he left to go to them but I wouldn’t mind him back on loan for 6 months experienced and has played this level 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is our new signing strategy, can we bring back Harry Panayiotou, star of St Kitts and Nevis. If it wasn't already, the writing was definitely on the wall for Frederiksen when Akio was named in the squad and then brought on as a sub vs Inverness despite having been announced literally hours before. Still, by keeping Big John on the books until Monday, we at least managed to achieve some sort of bizarre milestone by naming three full internationals in our matchday squad for the Inverness game - Ngwenya (Malawi), Frederiksen (Faroe Islands) and Akio (South Sudan). When did that last happen for the Rovers? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mostly gets away with it. Handsy, eh…that’ll be the Italian in him. 2 hours ago, Double Jack D said: I've seen many a poorer centre half than Nolan don the Rovers jersey. He's still relatively young too, I think there's the makings of a decent centre half there. Exactly my belief and why I hope we do re-sign him before someone else decides to offer him some assurance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 2 hours ago, Michael W said: That's the third striker in the last 9 months that we have punted before their contract is up. For the best. It is clear that his prospects here were very limited. I am a bit surprised we have managed to mutual consent him, as I can't imagine he will have many alternative offers in Scotland. But now he’s a free agent, before the window closed, so it keeps the most options open for him. Shame it didn’t work out, not sure what convinced IM he was worth the hassle, but at least it showed we were trying…and that sometimes it might be better to not try and reach too far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
