Also Iain Davidson due to a contract clause. Nothing about a left-sided midfielder though.

Michael W Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 "The Starks Park boss, who has lined up a wide-left midfielder on a pre-contract agreement" IYMI I read that twice and missed it! Doh. Too early in the day. Ah well, let the speculation begin. Hopefully it isn't Longridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Louis Longridge, maybe? Hope not. Longridge would be right up there with McKeown being unveiled as our 'exciting' signing a couple of years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 I reckon it'll be Barr. He described him at Morton's "star man" in the interview the other day, and he has been playing very well for Morton of late. As someone else mentioned, he was at Brechin with McKinnon as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Longridge would be right up there with McKeown being unveiled as our 'exciting' signing a couple of years ago. In fairness, after a slow start he's turned into an incredibly consistent performer for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that wasn't meant as a criticism of McKeown. More that a left back with a long throw wouldn't really be the sort of signing you'd first think n of when you are promised an exciting new signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Another ex-Livi midfielder. What could possibly go wrong? Sure to be a fans favourite. If we keep signing them, one of them will turn out good. In fairness, Barr has always been a good player but is inconsistent (as lower league wingers always are) and seemed to have a pretty shite attitude in the past. Seems he's screwed the nut at Morton, though. He would be a good signing, though I'm not sure we will get him on a PCA. I'd imagine Morton are fairly keen to keep him, and we probably can't offer him much more than they can. Would be pleased to have my initial thoughts proved wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Please don't laugh, but I'd like us to re-sign Barr. Dependant on his injury worries he'd be a pleasant headache for the manager to have. That's just me talking out loud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been a good signing IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a guy so young there's bound to be some add-ons/sell on clauses attached that may or may not activate as he goes through his career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donny86 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 What qualities do you think Davidson brings to the team? Well without him we would have been screwed at the back. He brings flexibility and think we get a good 7 out of 10 from him every week whether in midfield or at the back. He's never gonna go on 30 yard runs or score a barrel load but I think he brings good experience and rigidness to the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather we brought through these guys to be first team players of our own but we do love making a fast buck if the likes of Hearts or Hibs comes calling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Tbf to Davo I didn't wan him back either when we signed him but he has proved me wrong every time I've seen him so far this season. Like has been stated he's hardly a world beater but he was always a solid enough player at this level and he seems to be better positionally as well as the fact he isn't anywhere near as rash anymore, I'd like him to sign on again, that said if we have everyone fit and playing well I don't know if he makes it into our strongest 11. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I can't understand some of the recent criticism of Craigen, but there we are. What qualities do you think Davidson brings to the team? He brings experience and plays midfield or defence well enough for this league. He was a key player in the win over Livi last Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I think it's astonishing Davidson has reached his thirties and doesn't actually have a 'best' position. Most Rovers fans seem to think it's midfield as he's good for throwing away a goal every few games in defence, whereas Dundee pretty much shat themselves watching his 'range' of passing in midfield and made sure he was shackled to defence once John Brown got out the way. Puzzling. We would've been screwed without his versatility this season, equally if we didn't have so many injuries I don't think he'd have played too often once Robertson signed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
