I can’t see anything happening but would be good to have proved wrong, even a ‘punt’ of a loan striker until January surely worth pursuing over absolutely zero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely not Hester, never thought he was anyway near championship quality, he is League one at best, would have hard at Hearts for Euan Henderson, tbh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the thing is….. he’s not the fkn manager!!! It’s not what he’s paid to do. Surely, surely, surely you’d agree that if we were planning on getting a loan striker in (which we were) then we’d be better off taking a gamble on a loan striker for 6 months to see how he gets on we’ve got absolutely nothing to lose by trying that Dunno if anything will happen now however there’s only 4 hours left 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clashcityrocker Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 4 hours to go before the loan window closes -a few managers of clubs and potential loan players will have some decisions to make before midnight, but I suspect there won't be much activity happening across Scotland. So, will Arbroath get a striker on loan - I guess it all depends on which players managers want to put out on loan for experience. If there is a loop hole in Jack Hamilton's loan agreement I am sure DC would be delighted to know about it. We will all know within 4 hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) Just so long as the management team don't get too blinded by desperation and sign Goodwillie now he's been released by Raith. Otherwise I'd be happy with pretty much any striker or attack minded player, nothing to lose.

I was joking though but, you never know, desperation can do strange things - e.g. Raith signing him in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 5 subs now the norm, teams keep bigger squads. Any half decent striker is going to be gold dust in the Scottish leagues right now! I'd love to see a striker brought in, but I don't see any available ones right now. Was it not you doing your nut a few weeks back about dick taking "total punts" rather than going for tried and tested (apologies if it wasnt!)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not you doing your nut a few weeks back about dick taking "total punts" rather than going for tried and tested (apologies if it wasnt!)? Yes but it was also me who said that I’d much rather go for loans from Premiership teams such as the guy Offord Alloa signed from St Mirren because the worst loan we’ve had from a Premiership team in recent years was probably Josh Campbell, Pigniatello or Ben Stirling who were all actually reasonably good and like I said at that time the league is full of guys like them. You can’t take anything you say seriously because you don’t actually have any opinions, you just agree with whatever happens and what the Status Quo seems to look like and defend it as vigorously as possible 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Campbell can't seem to find a centre forward given recent successes makes me comfortable (though disappointed) with Morton's identical predicament in finding a no. 9. It's quite clear that there are next to no credible options available in the market - signing a total donkey just for the sake of it is a really stupid response to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we were already going to be signing a loan striker…..? It would just be a much cheaper option. And when you look at the lack of options we have there (and you have there too by the sound of it) then taking a punt on a loan is definitely something I think we should be doing. We have nothing to lose, if Hilson hadn’t looked really good these last couple weeks we would be doomed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
