MrDust Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 3 hours ago, FFC 1876 said: “Loans are always a bit cheaper and sometimes you can get a player of a higher quality for a lower price, so to speak.” A Mcracken quote yet we've made two loan signings this season. Makes sense us going for another back up keeper on loan but I can't understand why we're not trying to strengthen elsewhere with loans when we have 6 available this season. https://www.nottheoldfirm.com/interview/falkirk-boss-confirms-ongoing-transfer-talks-after-premiership-recall/?fbclid=IwAR3wMX4-yiuosEyFvyJKSTBQHjrR9hvMMuzc3u-Gu_bYdUoSuP-km7_DHzk Judged on our two loans this season of untried youngsters, they obviously will be a bit cheaper, I fukn hope so. I wouldn't be surprised if McManus was our highest wage last season. I'd have thought JP would be available again after Motherwell got Kelly on loan but I watched the Fasanesque display of their no2 keeper on Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys had been fine at championship level or above but abysmal for us. True (apart from Dennon Lewis who was a complete dick). They were signed by Hartley and it wasn't really their fault, they just simply weren't good enough. The ones who had performed at that level before and simply didn't show up, or couldn't be arsed, pissed me off more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys had been fine at championship level or above but abysmal for us. McShane started off alright when we went on that decent run. Hung around far too long though. Paton came onto a bit of a game once he got his off-field stuff sorted out. Someone mentioned Waddington who started off well but seemed to fade away. Haber, Lewis, Dallison and Sammut had no redeeming features. Edited January 7, 2021 by Numbers_One_To_Eleven 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely some skill to get player recruitment so horribly wrong over such a period of time and under 4 different managers but even managed it. Wow, must have taken some amount of time to come up with that lot. How did you manage to include Ciaran McKenna and forget The Edge? I can still see that collision in that Morton game that cost the 2nd goal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the latest infection rates in UK & Scotland, and multiple outbreaks at clubs all over, wouldn’t surprise me that this weekend for those games playable may be the last for a few weeks. High chance our FM will put football on hold till the end of February...... You seem to delight in misery. Personally, I see no reason for games to be cancelled unless the participants are infected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in desperate need of some energy throughout the team so I'd take a couple of untried youth players as they'll be coming here to prove themselves. Obviously we need to do our homework and get the right type of players on loan instead of panic signing like Deveney but there are youths there capable of improving our team. PJ was a shining example of that, had we not had a permanent keeper in Mutch we'd have all been happy having PJ on loan as our first choice goalkeeper for the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I'm really not too bothered if the game is off, it saves us from another loss temporarily, and having to listen to Miller or McCracken's post match pish about how they worked on things in training, blah blah. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cracking names been suggested so far, Neil McCann, Jim McIntyre and David Hopkin being the picks of the bunch. There's a guy who's doing really well and has his team well clear at the top of L2. Don't know why we don't consider him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McIntyre who knows. As I said previously I'd like us to try someone on the way up in their career although not a complete novice than someone on the way down. McIntyre was poor at Dundee and did knock us back before that although whether at that stage he'd been tipped off about another job who knows. Hopkin can't be that bad as he took livi up two divisions from exactly where we are the now. However, he seems to leave at the drop of a hat. If I had a choice I'd say put all our efforts into trying to get Petrie from Montrose. Might say no but you don't know till you ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if we've got to have someone with a club connection I'd go for Martin Rennie. Young guy, still on the way up, with a terrific track record. I'm sure we'd have no trouble in luring him away from Indianapolis! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
