R.R.FC Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Think Murray will be a good signing for the Pars. He is pretty two footed but favours his right. Looks most comfortable at left back or centre back. I’d imagine you are signing him as a centre back. Fairly certain he’ll be an upgrade on Devine. He played a lot at right back for us last year but I don’t think he’d be capable of doing a job there in the Championship, it didn’t really work in that position last season. He’s a no nonsense aggressive defender and his versatility is very useful. I think he’ll do a solid job. Surprised you couldn’t find someone equally good for free, I would have definitely kept him for next season but if this ‘high 5 figure sum’ is even 20/30k I’d be pretty content with that. Serious question, how do the Pars fans feel about Crawford being trusted with quite a few development/transfer fees so far? I know not many are likely to be substantial but there were doubts about him last year so fair play to your board for backing him and giving him every chance for next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance the figure is true. Really can't see us spending 70-80k on anybody, never mind a guy who has played most of his career in the seaside league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Kozma Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Not as awkward as spending several tens of thousands on an average league one defender.Got to love the seethe. We really are such a massive club, we sign who we want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, depends on your definition of 'high' - is it high in absolute terms or is it just high relative to the usual 5 figure sums (i.e 10,000) that players usually pass through clubs for. Worth noting that he had a year on his contract with no break clauses, and that Dunfermline were not the only bidders, so decent chance Rovers got something for him. As others have noted, anything over £20K and sure, happy for you to have him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know not many are likely to be substantial but there were doubts about him last year so fair play to your board for backing him and giving him every chance for next season. In the train wreck that was the second half of last season the biggest positive for SC was probably the players that he brought in during the transfer window. That's more or less what kept us up. Presumably the board trust his judgement enough to give him a proper season to have a go at. He's cleared out the guys that goy paid too much and/or didn't want to be there. I'm interested to see how he gets on. I hope most Pars fans would be happy to see a younger, hungrier team on the park. Whether they have the patience to stay off their backs is another question! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hopefully Jackie Macnamara is getting weighed in with a hefty cut of transfer fees, purely for the indignation it will generate in the dreary summer months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patricelad Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Murray is shite imo, can’t pass. Just a typical hoof it long centre half. Someone’s bitter [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Villa signed a future captain of their club for a low five figure sum who eventually won the European Cup for Villa. Thats right, our own Alan Evans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddy Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Fife Free Press have just posted on Twitter that Raith have accepted the bid from DAFC and Euan Murray is set to sign for you guys today. Presumably, Nisbet will follow shortly and if so, you cant grudge the pair of them the chance to move to a bigger team in a league above. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
