Looks like we beat Raith and Dunfermline for Deas. Probably the first time a player has ever chosen us over a club in the same league.

Both clubs were interested and I know we need a central defender but no way could we afford to commit to a 3 year deal.

As for the Pars they already have a big squad, perhaps they were also a bit wary about the length of deal and cost when they weren't desperate to fill the position.

 

I was quite hopeful he'd come to us on loan after doing well for Alloa last season, but good luck to the kid.

I don't really see why we'd sign him, we currently have Watson, Murray, Martin and Lang as cover at centre back, it's probably our most covered position. 

Before Watson signed I could've maybe have seen it but I just doubt we would've been chasing him at all after signed him. Certainly if we were there's not a chance we'd be offering him a starting berth or a 3 year contract.

If Walsh wanted to go back down the road, then fair enough, but I think he could've gotten himself a Premiership club pretty easily.

I agree with that, he has a good game in him and no disrespect to AU but I'm surprised he and his agent didn't aim higher.

It was all down to length of contract , 2 clubs were not willing to only give him the 1 year contract he desired ( don’t know his reason for only wanting the 1year ) they would not budge from the 2 years they offered , he said the position Ayr are offering him suits his style of game

The one year contract would explain that indicating he sees a further move on.

He's been on a few pods recently so it would seem rude for us not to talk to John Hughes.

I listened to the podcast the other night at work and really enjoyed it.  I'd never heard before that he was originally going to be co-manager.

Co-manager with who?

Paul Telfer.  It was reported at the time of Yogi's appointment that Telfer had come very close to getting the job - but I hadn't realised it was as close as that.

Don't know what to make of the Allardice signing, maybe Robbo sees something in him that was missed at his previous clubs.

We've had players of this caliber before and somehow turned their careers into some success.

Time will tell.
