Fifespud Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 McPake said that we were looking at 2-3 more signings regardless if the Adam deal came off or not. Let's assume 1 is Nicholas Hamilton, the other is a striker and whilst I'd hope the 3rd would be a goalkeeper, I reckon it'd be a CH. I also honestly believe that if Osman Sow is given a trial it's with the purpose of allowing the team to play with a proper shape in the closed door games rather than with full intentions of signing him - although the carrot should be dangled, obviously. Finally, Ferrie is one of the highest rated keepers at his level. Gourlay was another and we chose Ferrie over him. Ferrie whilst still young for a keeper, is 22 now and has the opportunity of a lifetime to solidfy himself as our number 1 for years to come. I've seen him once in the flesh (Against Elgin) and wasn't impressed (Even if I placed zero blame on him for his sending off) but equally he has won PotY and YPotY at Stirling in League 2 in his only full season of football. He needs to be given a proper chance this season and I'd give him that chance over a known extremely average keeper like Hazard tbh. (Although ultimately I hope we pull something out the bag) There is a very good chance he can be the answer to our problems. The worry is that if he isn't, we'll, we're fucked!Surely we will be signing Church? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I''m still hugely concerned about our midfield. It's essentially the same as August - January last season, + Charlie Adam. We badly lacked running and dig no matter which combination of players we tried, that was only partially helped once Ross Callachan came in, and I don't expect Charlie Adam to solve that particular problem either. So aside from the fact that I believe Hamilton is a liability that will cost us points, we have no depth at all at Centre Half if we're going to be playing three at the back, and we don't really have a striker that you'd describe as a hold-up type that the ball will stick to... aye. Hopefully Ferrie will supplant the liability or we sign a loan keeper, McGhee/Forster/Ashcroft actually plays much more solidly than I'm expecting or we can somehow conjure another Berra-type signing from somewhere, McPake is successful in his obvious determination to sign some sort of lump to play up front, and our corps of crocks, statues, and codgers in midfield have grown bionic legs over lockdown. It's encouraging that there are now some genuine youngsters in the first team squad, but I'm getting the distinct impression they are there purely because there's no other place at the club for them, rather than them ascending to 1st team status on playing ability. I wouldn't be surprised to see every single one of them loaned out, although it genuinely would be great if one or more kicked on and held down a place in the 11. I think it's going to be a weird season for all the obvious reasons, but the state of the squad is giving me heebie geebies, and I wont be surprised to see us caught with our pants down yet again, sitting in 4th or 5th after the first round of matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 If it came down to a straight choice and we had to have one of them, then it’s not even close for me; would have to be Ciftci. Goalie is still top priority, then another striker. This.Sow does not score enough and has a history of injury problems.Sounds like a typical Dundee signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciftci plays a lot deeper whilst Sow is an out and out striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Do we never learn. Jamie Ness perma crock, has hardly played. We could name 1/2 a dozen over the last 5 years. Let someone else have the pleasure of Osman Sow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 To be fair, Christian Nade and Craig Beattie were considered joke signings and Beattie a perma crock and they done us a turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Play Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) I can’t stand Spandau Ballet. The White Stripes are OK. For those two reasons alone I’d rather have Ciftci. ETA only United fans would be sad and enough to sing a song about Sow to the tune of Gold. Still rather have Ciftci though.

RossBFaeDundee Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I watched the Osman Sow goals video from his time at Hearts in the attempt to convince myself it won't be as bad as I fear if we sign him, and I can't help but think that 2014-15 Osman Sow is exactly the type of player we need: a big bully who the more squirrelly Mullen and Jakubiak can play off of, and can undo defenses with strength and precision. Problem being, we're stuck with 2020 Osman Sow rn, and unless he has a stormer against Cove tomorrow I don't think I can pretend to myself he can become that player again and therefore want him to sign. Here's hoping though, I suppose... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
