Draper is done physically and Vigurs despite his talent is a lazy, narky shitebag. Hartley wont leave Fyvie on the bench so I guess it will be him and Vigurs in the middle with Masson and Yule on the flanks. Could be straight for her bench for Draper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massively surprised we even went for him as we have Scully who is very good for L1. 3 year deals are insane I agree. It's what we seem to do to get the signing over the line regardless of the player is aging! I always worry about recruiting aging players from a league or two above. Hope Vigurs works out and he isn't just a moaning whinge bag who doesn't track back. Draper playing centre back full time might not be the worst idea in the world at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest that's the only way I see him fitting into the team even then he will be competing for that place with our new signing Morgyn Neill. We have Ryan Strachan at CB already who is a nailed on starter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Vigurs is brilliant technical footballer, he can see things other people can’t. He was never really that fast anyway, his performances in the last five or six games under Hughes pretty much kept us up. He will be really good for you. Draper seems to be injured more than he is fit. But even in the games he did play last season he was fine. He played lots of games at County as centre half. The only real issue would be playing them both at midfield at the same time, they would be too pedestrian. Three year deals seem a bit much, but maybe you needed to offer that security to get them. I assume they will both be full time? Edited June 23, 2021 by Loki 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyvie is calm and composed in possession, rarely gives it away and controls play at times. Undoubtedly Blair Yule is a stand out midfielder for us with an incredibly engine so we'd be strong in that area. Our left back Harry Milne is equally as fit as Blair and bombs forward at will. What's Draper best attribute(s)? Don't know much about him really. 3 year deal is excessive and a gamble but your right, our way of securing the signings. We are a part time club. Heard Vigurs and Tremarco and their partners have started a business and Vigurs was wanting part time football.

He’s about 6ft 4 and built like a tank - albeit a tank with a dodgy engine and broken exhaust pipe and which failed its MOT. Basically, he sits in front of the back four and kills people. He can pass a bit, and gets forward on occasion. I’ve never seen him lose a physical challenge. There was a St Johnstone midfielder a couple of years ago who was the same size, and it was more akin to sumo than football. If he’s fit, you’ll appreciate him. If he’s on the opposition, he is not nice at all. He’s also very well spoken, polite, keeps his socks rolled up and has quite a good disciplinary record considering his role. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re battles were always good fun, it was like two forces of nature just battling with each other whilst 20 other players tried to play football around them. The aforementioned giant, was Matt Butcher, all 6’4 of him, some size, but boy he could play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankthetank22 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Well now that the brief Scotland distraction is out of the way it's back to club business so it's Elgin away in our first warm up game, a week today. Have we a team to field in that match, can we expect anyone new in, or a new strip to be revealed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, Ross Callaghan was lined up by the previous manager, and how much diligence does it take to sign a guy with 150 games in the Scottish top flight?

Sensible Soccer🏴 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 There's an article in the Ross-Shire, with McGregor saying that there'll be new signings in by next weekend. At least it's some acknowledgement that work on signings is being done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
