Dr Koop Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 15 hours ago, velo army said: My fear is that we end up run by people whose efforts are expended in the interests of Nice and Barnsley and where the needs of Partick Thistle come a distant third. The term "feeder club" really ought to be sounding far more alarm bells on this forum than it seems to be at the moment. There have been charlatans in CEO chairs at clubs throughout recent Scottish Football history, too many that we should fall for another. Well, I believe that the Ineos looney has acquired Nice, leaving a Barnsley/Thistle portfolio. Would they (NewCity) have a larger fish in mind? Who knows? Alarm bells or not, there seems to be zip that can be done about the prospective owner's plans for Thistle, but I suggest they won't set out to maintain a club that yo-yos between the top six of the top flight and the arse end of the second tier if they want a shop window for talent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. The yo-yo-ing must stop and I see the takeover as the perfect remedy for that. Investment in the club = better players=success. And if someone makes some money at the same time so be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Watched the highlights from last night. It looked a really scrappy game, and I know it’s early days and these LC fixtures have a preseason feel about them, but we don’t look very convincing so far. Defensive positioning all over the place, losing the ball easily in midfield, and not much of a presence up front either. One positive though, based on his limited showing so far, has been Cammy Palmer. Feels like he could be an important signing this season, as despite his size, he really puts himself about and feels like a bit of a presence in the middle. Could well be that it’s only been against Airdrie and QP so far, mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be amazed if he’s a regular starter this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he played well when he came on and was up against Nat Wedderburn vs Airdrie, and the highlights from last night showed him put in a couple of challenges, so I assumed that he had carried on from Saturday’s performance. Midfield will be very lightweight if he’s not up to it. No imposing figures at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Just thinking, on the day of the last meet the manager we announced 2 new signings which had presumably been done a few days earlier, there's another meet the manager tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andylivi1 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Look after him please. Get him fit and he’ll do a great job for you guys, still very classy on the ball. Played wing back for us for a spell and done a good job defensively as-well as offensively, but I’d say winger or just off the front man would be his best position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always liked the look of him whenever I've seen him play (albeit this is usually against us). Good signing if he stays fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which side? I think we're needing a right wing-back as competition for Williamson, so if he's able to cover there then that'd be a bonus. Happy with the signing but we still need to add pace to our midfield/attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
