I got myself 12 rottweilers last week so was planning to take them all to calendar park for a run about. Hoping for some news by the time I get back. I can't recall us ever making a signing on a Sunday. Even Saturdays are rare, with Paul Paton being the only one I can think of (at least during the close season). It's probably a safe bet that today won't be any different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caley won’t get him on that basis IMO There's always the gamble that Dundee may or may not pay wages.

Senator Frimpton Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Morning all. So I thought I'd do a squad list in FM style to see what we need and came up with this: Robbie Mutch (GK) Scott Mercer (DR/L) Gary Miller (DR DM) Paul Dixon (DL/C) Blair Sneddon (DL) Ben Hall (DC) Mark Durnan (DC) Morgaro Gomis (DM) Charlie Telfer (MC) Josh Todd (AMR/C) Calum Morrison (AMR) Aidan Connolly (AML/C) Aiden Laverty (AM) ? Connor Sammon (ST) Lee Miller (ST) Anton Dowds (FC) Aiden Keena (ST) Robbie Leitch (FC) ? Don't think I left anyone out? Another goalie is obvious, plus an additional youth loanee perhaps. An additional CB. Jonny Mitchell if he's up for it wbg. And, unless #CT21 has been at the Will Vaulks pills, a good box to box midfielder. He'll always have a special place in my heart, but that's not Alston's game (as I recall). Bring him home anyway though, obviously 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll always have a special place in my heart, but that's not Alston's game (as I recall). Bring him home anyway though, obviously I highly doubt we'll go into the season with 3 keepers. It'll be a case of 2 and if one gets injured we'll get somebody else in on loan. Alston's more than capable of playing in the centre of the park in beside Miller which is probably why we've got him as our first choice for that position. I'd love to see us play with somebody in the 10 role but with Keena and Dowds signed as starting strikers it's looking very much like a 4-4-2. If Alston doesn't sign then I think we'll see Todd in beside Miller and I'd like the new centre back to be a starter or at least a prospect who they can develop like Mckenna when he came in. Being greedy I'd also like to see another winger in aswell for competition but M&M maybe see Leitch as the cover out there.

Made far too many mistakes. No surprise he's hardly kicked a ball since he left us. At 22 he'd be a regular somewhere by now and not a bench warmer if he was all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he wasn't as good as some made him out to be but he was a prospect someone who could have been developed into a decent player. Still have nightmares of Kiltie turning him inside out in the Morton game. Nobody signing with us is going to be the finished article. If they were then they wouldn't be signing with us. It's about finding players we can develop into the finished article then sell on when they've done what we need them to do.

Bear in mind that some fans thought Dallison was going to be an amazing centre half because he was tall and well built and you’ll see the trend here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you know which poster from here is involved it's no wonder they just handed over cash to allow Ray McKinnon or Paul Hartley to fling money at some dross on a 6 month contract, rather than acquiring shares or getting anything tangible for the longer term. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
