However, his spell at Falkirk worries me. He could even end up at Morton, did he not come through the ranks there? We signed him from partick of IRC We did but they signed him from Morton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 It’s a no from me for Declan. Far too inconsistent for us at this level and had a pretty dire spell at Falkirk last season. I was quite happy to see the back of him last time around. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazbart Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Could only see us making a move for sibbald if we were going to miss out on Kerr McInroy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dowds somehow managed to look scunnered in the celebration pictures after scoring a hat trick when they recalled him from Arbroath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That list of names leaving Dundee isn't particularly appetising, but if I had to take one of them it would be Mullen rather than McDaid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely seemed to come onto a good stretch of form towards the end of the season at Raith. He had some game in that challenge cup final. Maybe not a first choice forward but wouldn't be against that. Edited May 23, 2022 by AuAl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to start aiming higher than cast offs or squad players from our direct opponents, I'd much rather risk an unknown foreigner or League 2 / non league Englander than go for someone who we already know of their limitations as it were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bizarre statement. So we shouldn’t be signing anyone from direct Opponents. If that was the case we wouldn’t have signed Murdoch, McInroy etc. not to mention Shankland! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McInroy didn't actually play against us either as he was at Airdrie but had the pedigree of Captaining the youth team at Celtic which in itself counts for something. It's all just opinions though, so whoever comes in I'll support and I don't see anything bizarre about that. In the case of Poplatnik, his goalscoring record in the second tier of Scottish Football is pretty horrendous, so not for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually look back in past seasons Shankland, Dobbie and maybe Cummings are the only strikers to have scored a significant amount of goals in this league. We’re probably not going to sign anyone capable of scoring more than 8-12 goals in this league. If he was available I’d take him. Similarly with other strikers who’ve been at this level like Gavin Reilly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEHonestman1910 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 If Tomi doesn't re-sign then I would be up for taking him providing we bring in another striker alongside him. I couldn't remotely see Bullen being Interested in McDaid. Bullen likes his wingers to work hard and run up and down the pitch, something McDaid never did in an Ayr shirt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back through his "stats", the only level that he's appeared prolific is the equivalent of the Ayrshire Juniors so I'd hope we'd do better than that. I'd imagine it's all academic in any case as don't think he's been in any way linked with us other than by a poster due to him being released / available ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every gem in the English league there is duds. We’ve had a bit of success in that market with the likes of Adeloye and Dempsey but also had a couple of duds in Gondoh and Kenyon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have absolutely no idea what the level he’s played at is like but you’re also advocating us signing players from non league teams in England which has far more duds than good players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 It's went really quite on the Maxwell front, would be happy for him to come back but with Redding signing back on it's not so much a big deal he would probably be lowest on the priorty list with Adeloye and McInroy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
