Colkitto Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Quitongo back at Cappielow. Probably played his best football of his career at Morton. Off the field he can be a bit of a throbber and has been prone to injuries, so a bit of a gamble He does give us better attacking options than say Oliver so in that respect our attack line has improved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Underwhelmed is putting it lightly. Hopefully we've got much more quality to come and he's only here as cover, because he's an absolutely colossal downgrade on Ugwu and Reilly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 “A bit of a throbber” is one way of putting it. Just don’t get it at all. Physical striker which Imrie’s obviously after, but there’s enough evidence to show he just is not up to it at this level. Hopefully a masterstroke and we’re left eating our words, but not pleased. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Jai is a good player but I will be amazed if he's not injured by September. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Not thrilled by that signing, but a few points to consider: 1) With his career having died on its arse, it's reasonable to think that Quitongo's wage demands could be considerably lower than an 'established full-time 'forward'' like Oliver. 2) I'd rather have Quitongo as an impact sub to chuck on from the bench than Oliver or (Wake help us) Easdale. 3) Any Morton fan who supported giving Blues a new deal has no right to complain about the quality of the rest of the squad. TL;Dr - If it is a case of being able to add Quitongo and have some budget left over to help add a forward of genuine quality (for this level) then it would be a shrewd move. But there's a large amount of uncertainty within that argument. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madton Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) I would imagine Dougie would be looking to utilise him wide in a front 3. Not what any of us were expecting but need to trust Dougie and hopefully it pays off. A fit, on fire Quitongo is more than capable of being a threat at this level but I have my doubts over his fitness. Least we are a step closer to having a starting 11 for Falkirk on the 9th of July. Schwake. Pignatiello O'Connor Baird Strapp. Blues Jacobs Lyon. Quitongo Muirhead Garrity. Bench-King, Hynes, McGratton, Easdale, McGregor. I'd like to think we will have 2/3 better options signed before then. Edited June 20, 2022 by madton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost of B A R P Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Brutal reminder of the realities of the market we’re in for players… let’s hope Sir Doug’s reputation for getting the max out of players — and Quitongo’s hamstrings — emerge intact. Also, 4-3-3 incoming, which is good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More change of Quitongo ending up literally on fire during a game than there is of him being fit and playing well for any significant length of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scosha Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 A pretty underwhelming couple of signings to say the least. If we’re signing any midfielders they need to be creative and IIRC, Gillespie isn’t the answer. Jai, we all knew his potential. But a mix of it going to his head, poor advice and horrendous injuries really stalled his career and it has gone backwards ever since leaving us. I’d guess that leaves us with room for 4 more signings, which really do need to be quality additions to the side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s generally a very tidy player in possession but he’s not creative and isn’t quick at all which may get found out massively in the championship. Plus it’s not been talked about anywhere near enough about his wig Interesting recruitment from Morton here Can’t say I would be inspired by these signings 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazed he's been given another crack at this level, even if he is mates with Imrie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Gillespie was miles off it a couple of seasons ago with us christ. Quitongo at least has previous decent form with Morton. GG looks like a signing of someone who Imrie knows, is available and not a big dent in the wage bill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily, he became absolutely garbage at football after that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
