The Norwegian thing would never really have been a goer unless they had "exceptional talent" and would be eligible for a work permit. Given the level we are at, I can't see any Norwegians who qualify being able to come over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super-son Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I think the budget will be bigger but at the same time, I genuinely think Duffy just couldn't be arsed putting in the work to sign anyone last season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I don't think there was any suggestion of solely Nowegian players, they said they had global contacts. If you've got global contacts you'd imagine you could find players from within the UK who might be within our budget and suitable. I'm glad the bulk of the squad is appearing to be players who know this level and the game here though. The budget probably is bigger, we'll be budgeting for fans back this year I'd imagine, but it's clear Faz is able to sell a vision to players better than Duffy could. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not only selling the club to a decent standard of player, he’s offering some of them the security of a 2 year deal. In Duffy’s first season I know for a fact that his budget wasn’t as low as it was being made out. In his second season he had an extra 5k he didn’t bother his arse using. His approach was lazy and out of touch with what is required for a modern day lower league gaffer and he practically admitted that himself after he left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I liked big Kalvin. Worked his ass off and seems like a nice guy. Good signing for you. I’m just thankful that he won’t be playing for us. Buchanan is shite and McKee is worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think and hope it’s would be links with other clubs similar to Burnley/Ayr. Not Norwegian but imagine linking up with Young Boys in Switzerland. We could get one or two of their promising players to help toughen them up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpoonTon Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I'm not going to be patronising and say that Orsi will do well for dropping down a level. There are players from our squad last season that I think that applies to, and that showed up in the playoff games, but Orsi isn't one of them. He works hard, and his movement is decent, but he's a horror show on the ball - and that will only look even worse in League One. I think he's a poor signing for any League One team that has any ambitions (even if those are merely staying up). I'd be petty surprised if he's a success at Dumbarton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't stop being our jobber cast-offs after one season and your new goalkeeper went from punted at Cappielow, to free agent, to getting the call from Duffy halfway through last season. 1 hour ago, The Moonster said: It's hardly a shock, Morton are at the lower end of the full time market so when players drop out from there it's likely they'll find a part time gig nearby. Comparing the quick and precise moves by Faz this summer with Duffys bargain bucket last minute raid every single transfer window isn't very accurate though. The only difference is the speed of putting a squad together. If Duffy had stayed in charge then he'd have been targeting the exact same players (and indeed already brought one of them to the club), so it's hardly the revolutionary new approach that some are claiming then.

George Parr Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Doesn't really matter whether our squad is made up of 5 or 50 ex-Morton players, on the face of it we look a stronger outfit than last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo90 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Would take morton fans comments with a pinch of salt. Every player we have ever signed from them has been more or less laughed at by them. Cant think of many who worked out poor. Strange fans who apply old firm levels of pressure to their players, not surprised some may have struggled there. Really happy with how this squad is looking. A proper number 9 next please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffy might have signed a couple but it's comes across as a pretty ignorant view, there's no doubt Duffy would've kept more of last seasons rabble and would never have convinced the likes of Geggan or Paton here. I don't think anyone is seriously calling it a revolution, it's just lightyears more positive than any time Duffy has put a squad together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're thinking of Falkirk fans shirley? You can absolutely file them in this category too. Maybe not as much in terms of direct player movement but for meltdowns absolutely. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I’m particularly enjoying the Falkirk fans throwing shade at Buchanan and Morton fans throwing shade and hating on orsi and McKee. they just wish their window was as exciting as ours, as for Morton fans comments, our signings might be poor in your eyes but keep in mind your not so far away from joining us and Falkirk who were championship main stays for 5/6 years. You could find yourself down here soon too at the rate your going... Remind me again @virginton Is it just the one convicted sex offender you signed this season,? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
