I wonder if that is just by coincidence or design. It's a good point. I was 100% the guy that used to moan about Robbo having a hard on for Conference/L2 guys so I am not going to complain now. I do like the fact that Alexander has cast the net wider and doesn't seem to isolate recruitment to any one league. I'm not sure if that is just a result of Brexit or a genuinely broader scouting network. Whether his success rate has been any better is debatable though. It looks like Hibs and Aberdeen are going to step up their recruitment this year so I doubt they can be as shite as they were last year. Generally I'd be shocked if we managed to get top 6 with the level of quality we are currently carrying. Last few years I've sat in pre season naively optimistic because we have mostly had a fresh slate of players that I don't know much about. This year however I know a lot about the guys that we have and the majority aren't up too much. With that being said, I think if we are able to work out a system and playing style that works then bring in actual first team quality players we might be okay. In my view we should be in the market for guys who are starters rather than squad players, we have enough of them. Probably highly unlikely but I think we atleast need a starting striker, centre back and left back as a minimum. No harm to them, but some of the guys in those positions are not of the required to be considered first team quality (Shields, Efford, McGinlay, Ojala, Maguire) these guys are fine for the bench but there should be folk ahead of them Edited June 23, 2022 by Luke92 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Just for fun...is this an "Alexander type" signing? Three clubs from the Scottish Premiership? Rule out Celtic, Rangers, Hearts straight away. Probably Aberdeen and Hibs as well. Killie already have big weird Kyle and the best young striker in Europe.

I don't think us mere mortals appreciate how fit and strong you've got to be at this level. Case in point: Sherwinator Any normal walk of life he's a beefcake. On the pitch, he's the skinny winger who needs to be stronger on the ball.

I'm sure I saw somewhere that he'd been injured for most of last season. Actually, here it is...Football Insider. Quote Reading and Stoke are plotting moves for ex-Wolves and Motherwell winger Sherwin Seedorf, Football Insider understands. Seedorf, who is a relative of the Holland and AC Milan legend Clarence Seedorf, remains a free agent since leaving Motherwell at the end of the 2020-21 season. The 24-year-old attacker saw injury problems prevent him from signing for a new club in 2021-22, but he is now back to full fitness and looking to sign for a new team. Link There's an IG post embedded in the story of him after his operation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see Goss near the start talking to Ojala by his brief. Think Fox's partner has just had a baby so maybe that's why he's not in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
