The Thistle Archive Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Just in case you're not refreshing the Thistle Archive home page twice hourly, here's some of the latest bits n bobs...

Seems a bizarre arrangement considering there is no guarantee if/when we go back. Would have thought loans and stuff would be allowed later in the season once/if we are back playing. Overall though, hopefully a decent signing and at least gives us a wide option that isnt Joe Cardle. There is definitely a player in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should run amok in that league, depends if he's in the mood though, and not fannying around with pink boots and stupid haircuts. Thank you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) i think i saw him once or twice against us for Ayr and he looked decent (edit: just came to me how much that might well be an "Alexa define damnation with faint praise for me" moment tbf). Think he's a reasonable improvement on, say, Zanatta or Smiles 4 Miles before him. Which of course means we're going to RUIN HIM.

Decent signing on paper, always thought he was never given a real chance in his first term. He is direct and runs at defenders, kinda like a younger Erskine. Now we need a younger Doolan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zannatta has ruined himself- he has ability clearly but he has had chance after chance at ourselves and Ayr United to show it and couldn’t be arsed. I think McDaid will be an improvement on him and can cut it fine in the championship never mind league one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him looking really good against us when we first played Ayr, to the point where it seemed like another case of "look what we've given up". But it is nicely set up for him to come back and look woeful for us, as is tradition. Hope he does well though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R&Y99 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) McDaid should do a job for us at this level, we do lack pace out wide which he can offer. His arrival and Spittal playing for County this week makes it look like Spittal is not coming back.

Thanks; I just wondered, especially since I believe there's a new Third Lanark club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
