PedroMoutinho Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Don’t know anything about Seb Ross but will give us another option in attacking areas. I can see he didn’t play a huge amount for Cove last season. I’d rather we weren’t handing out 2 year deals like confetti but will wait to see how he does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Seems a bit strange us signing players that struggle to get a game for cove. Squad cover perhaps? My scouting report is he's not very good unfortunately. Edited June 22, 2021 by Shadwell Dog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinatoon Bairn Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Unsure about this one, Cove fans haven’t seemed to be particularly impressed with him this season although time will tell. Hopefully Sheerin can get him firing considering he’s worked with him previously. Presumably Sheerin has had a fair bit of input on this one as well which is a good sign regardless of how this transfer turns out.

Guest Peter LaFleur Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) I'm quite underwhelmed with the signing tbh. Never seemed to get a run in the Cove side but I will trust Sheerin's judgement and the boy is only 21. Hopefully he is one Sheerin see's as back-up to the starting 11 and a player to further develop.

Done reasonably well at Stenny on loan a few years ago and is still only 21. Hope it works out at Falkirk for Seb but he was a fringe player for us and struggled to show any kind of form for in his limited sub appearances. Not a goalscorer and doesn't create much either. I didn't see a standout attribute but like I said didn't play overly much. Suspect he'll be a squad player. I never thought he'd go to a promotion pushing L1 side to be honest but the Severin link has landed him a chance with the Bairns Edited June 22, 2021 by CoveRangers1922 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he played with you did he play in the middle of the park? From what I remember of him at Stenny he played as the 10 and made runs in behind the defence. I'm hoping it's been a case of just the wrong fit at Cove as you tended to play with the three centre midfielders last year instead of someone playing as the number 10. Sheerin knows what he's getting from him having brought him through the Aberdeen youth team so he obviously knows where he wants him to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawlins has his millions and we're shopping in the bargain basement. Millionaires are millionaires for a reason, the never part with their cash. Like @Bigbrbairn previously mentioned, I too was hoping the gap in signings would see the next one being a belter, how disappointing. Doesn't bode well for the season.

He's pretty lightweight as I remember and although has a bit of pace he didn't have end product. To be honest you gave us Leitch and we've given you Seb. Probably about that same standard Edited June 22, 2021 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought he'd go to a promotion pushing L1 side to be honest but the Severin link has landed him a chance with the Bairns Stenhousemuir had him on loan from Aberdeen in our relegation season of 2018/19 and this comment sums up Seb Ross quite well. I think he was quite highly rated by the Dons but I didn't see anything from him to suggest he'd cut it in the Premiership, or full-time football for that matter. Good luck to him! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with others on the two and three year contracts though, they have to work and the harsh reality is one or two probably won't. Don't know anything about this guy and probably the most underwhelming signing yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Storey is a striker who gets played as a winger due to his pace. His crossing is shite but his finishing is excellent. I think he's been played as a winger since he left The Caley in 2016 at Aberdeen, Thistle and then The Caley again. He needs to be played as a striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I think the narrative was more that Holt would be making all the signings rather than Sheerin being his puppet. But that signing does disperse that thesis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember of him he was good at making himself a nuisance but didn't really do much other than that. 3 goals and 4 assists for him last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
