ToonBairn Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Good luck to Botti. We have never seen enough of him to really say if he has it or not. He has a tremendous first touch and very strong for his build/age. However, it's quite clear Swansea have identified something and that must be commended. With regards to us, Houston has knew for 2 months this was happening. Not as long as the 9 months as Loy, however, it's now critical we sign 2 strikers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Swansea develop him good luck to them and we will get the benefit. However he will end up in lower league English football at best. Leahy and Sibbald have a great first touch. Botti? He did trap it well once in the Cup Final from memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For both parties it's a win-win situation Botti does have a wonderful touch, possibly only second to Sibbs in our current squad. However, it's insulting to mention Leahy in the same breath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Great piece of business for Botti considering. I'm hearing it's £150k cash, same again once he plays a 1st team match and a 15% sell on. I'd imagine the signing will be confirmed at the same time as 1 or 2 strikers come in the way in the next couple of days.

Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril That's a cracking deal, tho the add ons as we have found out with Arfield can mean nothing.For what he has done and his poor injury record £150k is decent nevermind the add ons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 He showed in the games against Alloa last season that there is a player in there. Would like to at least see him given a chance this season. Like Smith, I think he will be much improved since he joined us a year ago Same old pish from Smith today im afraid. Runs about a lot but no end product. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I was in the main stand as a "treat" for the east fife game, and I was surrounded by people who genuinely did not even clap for any of our three goals. Mental. Back to the SS with me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilostmyself Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Whoever does the social media work for the club deserves a bit of praise. I've had a couple of issues lately and when I've sent them a facebook or twitter message I've always had a quick response and my problem solved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
