18BAIRN76 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Lawal signed a one year deal with an explicit option to extend. He's shown more than enough to be kept around - he's by no means the finished article (he wouldn't be with us if he was), but he's one I'd definitely keep. I agree, I'd also be offering Burrell a new deal too, considering he was only on a one year contract. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifting deadwood and replacing with upgrades, giving us reason to look forward to a strong 2nd half of season. Cant see Williamson or Watson being here much longer, and hoping Kennedy will stay the rest of season. Jordan Allen impressed in the 3-3, and maybe a poacher is what we need for all the chances we create. By my reckoning, we have cover in every position of the team, given how versatile our players are, and also have depth on the bench. An amazing turnaround by McGlynn & Smith in a very short time. Looking forward to the run in now and an extended cup run. Jordan Allan might be our new John Baird, but a chunk younger.

Springfield Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 M&S have certainly been working hard getting the three in. Interesting to see how he uses all three, as parent clubs will be expecting these guys to get game time. Be good if Kennedy remains with us, but a hellava lot of speculation he’s off. A run of very difficult away games which with the additions, has given me much more confidence. Just hope we don’t lose anyone (apart from the obvious two or three shite still remaining) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Agree with the sentiments about Lawal. What shortcoming he has are more than superceded by his ball carrying and ability to beat a man, his clever feet in tight situations and his threat in front of goal. Regardless of Nesbitts form and Meekisons potential, I'd still be willing to hear arguments that Lawal is the best of the 3 of them if its a choice of those three for the one role. Il be disappointed in McGlynn if the intention here is that Lawal us surplus, but I seriously doubt that it is. That boy is a bona fide game changer. They don't come along often. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Me Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 8 hours ago, ShaggerG said: I think we should be trying to extend Lawal and Burrell's contracts now if we can. I appreciate that it may be difficult to commit funds at the moment because we don't know what level we'll be playing at next season, but we should certainly be exploring the possibilities. This. Great we've freshened up the squad but we must have a fair few players entering the final months of their deals and the one thing Holt got right was continuity is required. We'd all hoped for signings but seeing regulars extend their contracts would be welcome too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 If it's ourselves that have the option of extending the one year deals then let them play for that year in the second half of the season. No sense taking that incentive away from them prematurely. PJ Morrison Stephen McGinn Ola Lawal Rumarn Burrell Gary Oliver 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Just going back to the earlier chat of strongest team... I think Brad Mckay has a strong shout of being in it with Henderson in midfield tbh. Mckay over Mackie for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Really happy with the business done in this window. Feels like we've finally undone the damage done to this club by Gary Holt which I didn't think would happen until the summer. Was thinking/ hoping there would be another striker in the pipeline after Wright and McGlynn has definitely delivered that with Allan. If any of that cup money is available to McGlynn and I was being greedy I'd want another winger to bring on for Kennedy or Morrison - if that has already gone on Allan's fee we could always trebuchet McGuffie in exchange for one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just 5 loans in at the one time? I've actually miscounted right enough as the two signings yesterday take us up to 5 so by my reckoning we don't have anymore left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like McCann really had to work to displace him and at the early stages was always convinced McGlynn wanted Mackie in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syd Puddefoot Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Bringing in two different type of strikers gives us the option of going with two up top if required. McGlynn rarely changes the setup but this gives him more flexibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
