happysouth Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Remember Kevin McCann being very highly thought of a few years ago at Hibs so would be happy enough with that signing, also on another thread I mentioned I thought Higgins would be targetted and imo this would be a wise move by Gus as he is just the type of player we require in this league. As for Brighton (god no) He was utterly garbage for both Dundee and Stirling last season and didn't score a single goal despite making a fair number of appearances. I remember commenting on how awful he looked when at Stirling so I just hope he doesn't replace Holmer as our "striker" You mean he would be worse than Holmes!! God help us! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northfield 53 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yeah, Northfield 53 posted some other names, then deleted his post Sorry about that Mr X must have deleted by mistake better late that never names Sean Murdoch ex Hamilton Goalkeeper Darren Smith Kevin McCann ex Hibs Alan Reid ex Ton Chris Higgins ex Par Tom Brighton ex Stirling Scott McLaughlin ex Airdrie Adam Strachan ex Partick Mark Campbell ex Raith Hutton was not at training looks like he is away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossC93 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Brighton was good on the rare occasion he turned out for us. Surprised he didn't do well last season. If Gus can get him playing well then he'd be a good signing. Gus used him wide left a few times and he looked good there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Alan Reid was a decent first division player for us and could do a job down the right or the left if required - guessing that sort of versatility could come in quite handy with a small squad. Don't think he's played for anyone since he left Morton last year though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies_Apprentice Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Brighton turned in one of the worst performances I've ever seen from a centre forward when we beat Stirling 3-0. Injuries have pretty much wrecked him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black and Gold Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Brighton turned in one of the worst performances I've ever seen from a centre forward when we beat Stirling 3-0. Injuries have pretty much wrecked him. Watched Stirling Albion a few times last season whilst up there at uni and have to say that Brighton was absolutely murder. Slow, no aerial threat and offered nothing in front of goal. As said, looks like that injury could have finished him. Would be surprised if Queens opted for him. Then again, better that than a return for another of MacPherson's old boys Stewart Kean. Nobody wants that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy4life Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Despite that list being about 90% dross, Kevin McCann would be good at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qos_Fc Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 McCann and Higgins would be the only ones i'd be happy with from that list. The rest would be pretty poor signings imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Reid can play on either flank so would be decent cover, but he's not good enough as a first team player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I thought Darren Smith was quite promising in the... 80 mins I saw of him last season. Far too soft for a big lad though. Keep him fit and away from chopper left-backs and he might be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The names listed above don't set the heather on fire IMHO, however I think we should trust Gus' judgement. It's the reason he's a football manager and none of us are! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnethead Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 also tom brighton apparently, was he not the guy at stirling last season? Sorry, but oh dear, Tom Brighton, surely not, coo's erse and banjo spring to mind, he had a brief trial with us last season. Scott McLaughlin is...well, Scott McLaughlin, a bit lightweight, doesn't like to tackle, is brutal with shots, taking corners and free kicks but is a great passer of the ball. Was Mark Campbell down at the session as well ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Sorry, but oh dear, Tom Brighton, surely not, coo's erse and banjo spring to mind, he had a brief trial with us last season.

Swarley Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Sorry, but oh dear, Tom Brighton, surely not, coo's erse and banjo spring to mind, he had a brief trial with us last season. Indeed, are his stats on Wikipedia accurate. Only 9 goals in 84 appearances. He maybe should change his job title from 'striker' as he clearly is not one! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Which left back has inflicted injury upon him? None in his time at County, his only start was the last game of the season! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Which left back has inflicted injury upon him? None of them. He just appears to be made of Play-doh, so one hit and he's likely to crumble into a heap, and out for three months with an injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Goalie Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 McCann and Higgins would be the only ones i'd be happy with from that list. The rest would be pretty poor signings imo. Be careful before writing off players before youve seen them play, you have previous for this remember! lets be realistic here there arent going to be any star studded players out there for us to sign so we might as well get used to the idea that were going to be signing players who didnt flourish last season in their clubs. lets not forget our friends S. Dobbie and R. Harris who didnt exactly set the grass on fire and St johnstone and clyde. why dont we let gus do his job and stop expecting this massive name to walk through the door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
