Big Jocks Chewin The Fat Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Glad to see we are signing a lot of younger players and building a team. Gordon & McIver i have to admit i was a tad meh on but they have time to come right and a 1 year deal to prove that is smart business. The older head in Foster is good to have around the place and Turner should be a decent acquisition. How nice is it to actually be doing our business early! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Just watched the video with McCall - “hopefully this week we’ll be able to announce somebody that the fans will be quite happy with” Also sounds like we were in for McCowan but couldn’t compete with the Dundee clubs offers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Has it been confirmed whether the covid loan rules have been extended to the 21/22 season? That might have an impact on the overall size of the squad. The 4 outfield players would seem to be a striker, 2 wingers and a defender, or a striker and 3 wingers if he's happy with Sena / O'Ware. The longer it goes on without us signing Tiffoney the more I think he'll be off elsewhere but the newspaper guy and the hint from McCall in the interview seem to suggest it's happening. Wonder if Penrice going the other way in lieu of cash, would absolutely take a straight swap, probably as would all Livi fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Turner should be an excellent signing for yourselves. He's at his best further forward dictating the play and linking with the forwards but he can play deeper as well. He was playing everywhere and doing just about everything for us. Defending in the box, collecting the ball from the defence,driving it forward box-to-box, getting stuck in and he's not afraid to have a pop at goal. Or a pop at his team mates but in that way of constantly wanting to maintain high standards rather than anything else. I expect he'll be better playing in one position in the Championship for yourselves, but he is a great player and great all-rounder. It's no exaggeration to say he was the fundamental reason we finished in 2nd place and reached the play-off final. I thought he might go to a Premiership club as well but I expect him to do very well for Thistle. Hope he goes on to have a great career from here. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb_diamond Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Echo what airdrieman said earlier, a spectacular bit of business from Thistle there and about as good a midfielder as you could conceivably sign at your level without something absolutely bonkers happening. Will absolutely run the show for you guys this season. Best of luck to him he was easily our best player after the restart and I didn't see a better one in any other L1 team we played. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll Third this sentiment. almost single handedly dragged us kicking and (literally) screaming to 2nd place. A fantastic coup by Thistle, I had half expected him to rock up at a Hearts or a St Johnstone. Really hope the boy does well, cant fault his attitude one bit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R&Y99 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 McCall saying in the interview released yesterday he believes we are three or four short of the squad he wants and these signings should be ones to excite the fans. He is looking for another striker. And hopefully another player will be brought in this week “one the fans will be quite happy with”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re adding a striker then I’d expect it to be a younger one, possibly a loan. Graham and Rudden will be starting, with MacIver first off the bench. I guess it could be someone like Dobbie who won’t expect too much game time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Obviously hope it's true but a twitter account with 300-odd followers isn't screaming reliable sports journalist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagsCG Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Be inclined to believe it more if it was one of the known sports journalists, or one of the guy’s who regularly report on Thistle. That said, hopefully it’s true and we get it over the line this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not say that he would fourth choice. We need a striker to provide strong competition and cover for Graham and Rudden. MacIver has potential but has very limited experience at Championship level. He made a few appearances for Morton last season before his loan terminated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something makes me still think Doolan.....Right or wrong choice i will let others decide. But surely he would be better than Dobbie no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
