The Partick Thistle thread


Recommended Posts

The Record saying Rudden’s a done deal and we’re close to signing Graham and Darian McKinnon. Rudden and Graham are impressive signings (on paper). Unsure on McKinnon. Would’ve loved him 2 seasons ago but Accies fans think he’s done.


Brian Graham will completely polarise your support.l between those who think he’s essential, and those who think he’s never played football before.

I think he’s County’s best striker currently.

Darian McKinnon is basically gonna be for you what Jamie Adams was for us in our League One seasons. A horrible b*****d in midfield and someone who will easily get opposing fans and players wound up.

Except not as good because Adams drove tractors and carried bales of hay instead of training.

You can just tell these signings are going to make Partick the best team of the season's second half.

Easy tiger.

We still have Miller, Harkins, Williamson, Robson and Mansell to dispose of from the previous incumbent, so some way to go before the above is anywhere close to becoming true.

Still need some defensive reinforcements/upgrades, particularly CB and DM

Apparently outbid some top flight sides for Berra, up to the player now.

McCart and Berra mooted.  Darien McKinnon has been linked too...

McCart - yes please.

McKinnon - would be happy if he's up to the standard of the last couple of seasons.

Berra - no, nay never, no, no.

Berra on loan until the end of the season would be a cracking signing at this level. If we have Brownlie and possibly Mccart coming in at the end of the season Berra fills a hole until then. Guys an improvement on Saunders and McGinty.

Graham is technically very good, big and strong. If he could work on his attitude he'd be excellent - currently he's too easily frustrated /wound up /needlessly dirty. If you've got a good sport psychologist (or Ian mccall can lay it down) then he's got potential to be excellent.

I think at 32 years old Graham isn't going to change much, if we get him it's a clear upgrade on Mansell in the lanky striker department and he's proven at this level.

So probably not match fit?

He may be fit but always a difference in day to day fitness to training/playing.

Sure he played some challenge cup games for Ross County colts in August time before leaving in September.

Knocking back the idea of Christophe Berra when we’ve still got fucking Sean McGinty getting in the matchday squad - come on, lads.

Steven Anderson was very useful for us last season, and Berra would (at worst) be a pretty similar player. A defender who will bring organisation and win loads of headers, but can’t run or pass. That works at this level.
