Rocco Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Striker who has played 32 games at all levels and has not developed a goal celebration yet. Get him signedTo be fair nobody wanted Shankland and look how he turned out. I'd quite like to see us take a chance on a young guy and give him an opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Never been that fussed for pre-season games or the result. Thought this was closed door though? Any MSG present and showing ahem potential new owners what they may be buying? You kidding? They will have their trotters up knowing they have duped 2000 people - again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What % of players in that situation turn out to be a Shankland? Pretty low I'd say. I'm all for giving a young player the opportunity but not sure that'll work when we're playing one up top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably won't be as good as Shankland, but if he's decent enough and cheap enough, then he may be worth a gamble, even if it is as backup to help bulk up the squad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankland though had already proven he could score at both championship and league one levels with St mirren in his first spell there and Dunfermline. He then had two disappointing spells back at St Mirren and then Morton. Thats a bit different than taking a punt on a player that's never had a decent scoring record at these levels.

BairnNecessity Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/whatever-happened-matthew-knox-teen-14251765.amp Decent enough read(well for the daily record anyway) Berwick Manager describes him as a number 10 playing in behind the striker. At only 19 it's well worth having a look at him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he got a new club yet ? That alone represents how good he is, scoring goals league one level is a start but there is a gulf of doing it a league up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Championship yes but there's no reason why we couldn't get hold of someone like El Bakh that has a great record at this level is there? There's a load of other players floating about that have scored goals at this level that would probably be happy to play for us too. You don't have to be anything special to score goals in league one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me he's bottom of the top flight at best maybe. Talk of him going to Sunderland etc but he'd be back up in a season if he went down there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Fucking hell Shankland is certainly box office these days. He is clogging about about 5 different club threads [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Knox was on trail with us, played on Saturday just past there. We’ve signed Lewis Allan instead. He seems to have a decent touch and not much else, built like a paper boy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syd Puddefoot Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Would expect Mckinnon to go for a tall target man type he seems to like that.Brian Graham he had at Raith,Mikkelson at Dundee Utd. Fits with McKinnons style of play,which ironically may work in this league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daly literally couldn't run, did score a peach of a header (what else) against Hibs at Starks though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BairnNecessity Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hopefully the rumours are true about Ross County wanting rid of DKD and he comes home. Still want a thug in the middle of the park in beside Mcshane as he's not going to do the dirty work. Wasn't there a Raith fan on here the other day saying that was Toshney's job at Raith to allow Callachan to go play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
