I’d prefer Milne, but Strapp would be a really good signing as well. If it's Harry we have some hell of a job replacing him. Once he starts motoring he's unstoppable. This rumour has been ongoing for 2 months so I would have expected Cove to have lined up a suitable replacement. I would see Considine as a CB for us and not LB, if we can tempt him that is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Some folk adamant it is Harry Milne on social media. I had a brief chat with his agent but he wasn't giving anything away. Seems like a great signing on paper. Happy enough with Dowds if added to Graham and A,N, Other. Team lacking width and pace, outwith Tiffoney, Milne hopefully the start in addressing that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle will be a bigger lure for full-time players than Arbroath., unless they bring in some kind of hybrid system and up their wages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 ATS is probably the gold standard for left backs for us over a good few seasons, havent really seen milne but sounds like he's a similar player. Very encouraging if its him thats signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was a shoe-in to turn up at Arbroath. I saw Dowds against us at Balmoral a few weeks back. Looked decent in a poor team but I still have some hesitation about him. Possibly because he's fairly unproven at the Championship level and partly because he never really set league 1 alight. He timed his stint at Arbroath perfectly. They were flying, Nouble was running riot and he was a benefactor. He had a purple patch at Arbroath with 5 goals in a 6 game spell and can hold the ball up which is a strong asset. Is he as good as Rudden or Graham in his prime? I'm not convinced but saying that he can score goals and could turn out to be a success. Rudden is a totally different type of player than Dowds more of your poacher than Dowds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dowds should be an upgrade on MacIver but we need a proven striker at our level to replace Rudden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard he can play RB but he’s never done so for us. I’d imagine this is the LB you’ve signed and Burns is just a wee bit behind or alternatively the club are very confident he’s signing but it’s not fully done yet. Either way he’s been offered a contract by both clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie Of The Month Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Milne always seemed a bit of a weird one given the apparent Premiership interest. This seems the more likely option as meh as it seems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will always be in the Ayr history books for scoring a derby winner at Rugby Park but I’d like to think we could do better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Yep, 3 new FBs needed minimum. I’d guess McCall will keep one of Foster or McKenna as a versatile backup as he seems to like both, although I’d probably rather let both go - Foster looks finished and McKenna quite simply isn’t good enough for this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on all points, although no player wants to sign as a backup I still wouldn’t be surprised if McCall is going for 2 LBs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I still always get the impression that McKenna is a centre half being asked to play right back, but at the same time he’d be the worst centre half in our squad by some distance. He seems like a nice guy, but he’s not very good. I think he’ll be at Queens Park next season. Not sure who I’d be wanting to bring in there - maybe Reagan Tumilty if we can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Ciaran McKenna makes me want to stay at home rather than go to games. I can't wait to see the back of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
