Mr November Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Someone posted on the Airdrie thread a couple of weeks ago saying that we had apparently asked about getting Kyle Turner back but Thistle weren’t keen to let him go. I’m certainly not expecting it to happen, he’s far too good for League One and seems to be playing fairly regularly, but if someone is leaving then from an Airdrie point of view hopefully it’s him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagsCG Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Just listened to McCall's interview there, definitely sounds like Crawford has been signed to play wide. Also said that he'd be looking to keep Crawford beyond the end of the season, despite it only being a 6-month deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Firhill Frozen Pie Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Should be a decent loan signing and happy to see Sneddon sign on for another year. Thankfully McCall took King Kennys advice and gave him a run of games as it seems to have worked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Akinola is too good for this level so not surprised he’s not signing on but I think his lack of physical presence may put bigger teams off. When McCall said he expected Akinola, Rudden and Sneddon to sign it sounded like he was trying to put pressure on them. There was no way all 3 were staying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Shame about Rudden and Akinola. We're still in with a shout of promotion so Id rather we didnt cash in this month. As for Crawford, Im all for the club signing good players regardless if we already have good players in that position (which he should be at this level). Just as long as we arent spunking our budget when other positions need strengthening. Wouldnt be surprised to see Shea Gordon finally leave this month, even if its just on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can definitely see him switching Tiffoney over to the right hand side and putting Crawford on the left. Is Crawford left or right footed? Could be that McCall sees him cutting in from the left with a new attacking left back (Maxwell) providing the width on that side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagsCG Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I like Rudden, but Akinola is a much bigger loss imo, I really hope we are able to keep him until the end of the season, he’s by some distance the best defender we’ve had in a long time I’d say - and he’ll only continue to improve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akinola has been great, but Liam Lindsay was better. He was imperious in our top six season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course. by ‘a long time’ I kinda meant since Top 6/Relegation era, probably should’ve specified that better. He’s the best post-Lindsay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Terrace Gazza Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 On the Crawford signing. I always liked him as a player although he can frustrate at times. McCall had a bad habit of playing him out wide and I think that’s his plan for Thistle where he is much less effective than in the centre of midfield 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
