He's direct and has pace, so if need be he's a better option out wide than Stewart, at least. Not really, he's never really been a regular goal scorer at this level and didn't score that much for us last season at all. He's not great out wide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He set up both our goals with crosses from the right wing last Saturday, and looked very dangerous all afternoon. If he continues with anything resembling that form I'm sure we'll be very happy. There's no faulting his work rate either, he's happy to chase down any lost cause, just a couple more goals now and again would help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: he's not been great out wide until the Motherwell match, but he showed a lot of thrust and did so much for the team in the way he dragged the play up the pitch. He's very good at running with the ball at speed but his crossing has been poor, until Saturday. Niall McGinn and Martin Boyle are two centre-forwards who benefitted from being moved wide. If that's where he's going to get a slot in the team then it might be worth persevering with. Having said that, Daniel Armstrong is going to be more competition for both flanks.

He's not great out wide. He's the ony player outside of Midge and Mullin that is willing to take players on either inside or outside. DKD has struggled this season as he just isn't willing to go on the outside and Midge prefers to go inside though he can go out if needed. His final ball is often rubbish but there's far worse options out wide like Stewart. And yeah, I didn't realise McManus got most of his goals at Morton while they were in League One. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I would think that's us most likely done with signings this window now, otherwise when (if) everyone gets back to health, we'll be totally overloaded with players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way though, I think one or two of the long term injury guys might not be with County next season, whereas both of these chaps will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy4life Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) I'm really liking the way Ketts and Ferg are doing their business in the transfer market, including the summer. There's clearly a long-term plan in place for the type of player they want and they're not scared to give youngsters who have impressed at smaller clubs a chance as we build for the future.

Savage Henry Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Seems Semple is a left footed centre back, which may mean Watson plays more at right back from here on in. I don't think that's at all a bad thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like how it's just us signing the same players who tend to ping around the lower levels of the top flight and upper levels of the second tier and rotate clubs, much like managers. What I've heard about both I've liked, so very happy with our business so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the Sheff Utd tweet says: United have allowed defender Callum Semple to join Ross County on a permanent basis. The 20 year old joins the Scottish Championship leaders with immediate effect with United securing a significant sell on and other clauses. So I guess we'll flog Semple to Burton in a season or two for buttons, and then Sheff Utd will get the bulk of the buttons. If he means we dont have to play a franken-defence of youth players, midfielders, and fullbacks - i'm happy. ETA: thats odd, thought id posted that an hour ago? So aye, much as FranktheTank says, with added cynicism about our ability to recover a good fee for good players (sorry, these are positive signings!)
