RossCountyFan14 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Would you have a big team?Be pretty ‘staunch’ of me to make this account 4 years ago with the name RossCountyfan14 for the chance that county might sign a loan player from rangers which I could give praise to [emoji23] I do think the boy will be good for us even though we are well covered in midfield but our defence does need some improvement and I haven’t a scooby who we’d even be looking at. Hopefully Donaldson can continue how he started and Grivo gets the opportunity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKSF persisted on playing Vigurs last year regardless of form so assuming he's a starter and Draper is match fit again, doesn't leave much space. FULL. BACK. PLEASE. I had forgotten that Spence had gone. This guy is the new Spence, who was the old Henderson, the benchwarmer and fill in guy once Vigurs, Draper and the other bloke who hardly plays and who will clearly get the mutual agreement treatment, have had their shot, but ahead of Paton for no apparent reason. Two out, one in but still a log-jam. Bewildering and superfluous signing. As someone else said, it's looking very likely this is a 3-5-2 team now, which *might* excuse the lack of full backs, but doesn't excuse the chronic lack of width. To me, they still need: a first choice keeper and three "wing-backs" of any description. I really like St Mirren's signings - both of those players, Tait and Alnwick, should have been on County's radar.

RiG Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) I was hoping that County releasing a load of players to save money on their wages then getting Kelly on loan might have prompted a Twitter rant from Amy MacDonald but no such luck.

She loves the County. Probably because the fans are nice to her husband. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be okay with that. I prefer him as the holding midfielder, but that’s a pretty high quality back three. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Draper attempting to pass from midfield is more often than not a lottery, but he's certainly got the size and grit to work in the defence. Just not with Fontaine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 So what did we get from Rangers for the signing of Graham? A loan of six months for a cracking player with bags of potential? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Non-superfluous signing klaxon! Connor Randall, a right back, on a one-year deal. Formerly of Hearts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stagdhu Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Happy with the Randall signing. Was impressed with him at Liverpool as he seemed like a player who is comfortable on the ball and had a very good work rate. Never really hit the same standard at Hearts but you can’t hold that against him, as playing for them must be more of a jail sentence than a job. If Ketts n Co can keep him fit and hungry, I think we have a real player on our hands here... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's forgotten man Tillson who looked useful in the holding role, not as big a physical presence as Draper (not many are) but probably a better passer for keeping possession of the ball. Vigurs, as always is the hardest to fit in, a deep role is probably best suited but his work rate when without possession is hopeless. After his performances last year Paton is a must to start his energy drives the team on. Interesting times, pace out wide and direct running, is what we've been needing for a season or three. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be alright with that, as long as we find a left winger that can track back so Midge can move inside.

stagdhu Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Just seen the interview with Randall. Jesus, the lad couldn’t sound more enthusiastic about joining us!!! Sounds as if he’s been told he’s going out on loan to Caley. Ties with Harry Paton’s mildly inconvenienced interviews 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we have a sell on clause as well, that isn't too bad. It's a great move for him, as he wouldn't ever get a chance at county. Why give youth a chance when you can sign a journeyman? Some shift his parents did taking him down from the Islands for all the training and games. Hes been in Scotland squads and impressed in the tourney over in Spain. On paper the signings made are good, I guess the aim is to finish above Hamilton and St Mirren. We are probably still needing three signings, cah we afford to make them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be fuming if they go into the league without signing a winger, especially if they’re paying for Kelly to sit on the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
