D'Jaffo Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Does the window close on Thursday? Are we expecting any business to be done?Aye midnight on Friday. I said to my pals on the way home on Friday just there that I have no idea what we actually need. A striker is needed in case Akinyemi gets injured but with the way McKenzie is playing there’s no guarantee that he’d be a starter. We’re also creating plenty of chances without a McInroy type player but another wide option in case O’Connor or JML are injured wouldn’t hurt. In short, we need a couple of bodies but compared to the situation we were in a month ago, any new signing will be on the bench and will have to work to get in the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Agreed, it's really a matter of getting a bit of depth in the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I think we could do with a poacher type striker just something different to what dipo, Sam, Mark and Fraser bring also an no10 type midfielder can unpick a packed midfield with a pass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every club in this league (and most in the league above) are also struggling for a front man and definitely struggling for quality cover so I think we've done far better than could have been hoped by anyone to unearth a striker of Dipo's quality. I know we keep hearing about looking for "players who are familiar with the Scottish game", however I'd far rather we took another chance on a guy from non league / lower league England (should they tick the right boxes) or failing that hope to get a quality youth player from a top side. Who knows ? maybe Alex Kirk has a striker pal at the Emirates who would be willing to give the Scottish Championship a go ???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goal against Hamilton was a classic poachers finish as was his offside one in the same game. Of the six goals he’s scored only his second against Dundee and his first against QP are the only ones you’d say weren’t typical poachers goals. Another goal scorer of any kind will do me fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I still think we need a striker as despite how good Mark McKenzie has been in recent weeks can he keep up that level of performance week in week out? I hope so but it was only a short time ago we were saying he should be let go or loaned out. Signing another striker would allow us to loan out Bryden if we wished. Ideally another creative midfielder would be helpful. Not that creating chances has been a problem mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a triple threat TBH he does scores from 2ft, hits thunderbolts from 30 yards and can hold it up, the the kind of player I mean is a Craig Moore type. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Terrace Gazza Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I know English league 2 is a step up from Scottish championship but Adeloye has become a bit part player for Swindon now.

Wish Tomi no ill will and I really hoped he would do well at Swindon but just shows what happens when you listen to your agent and believe your own hype, one more season here would have benefited him so much and him and Dipo as a front two could have been magical but he's fannied about going all over the world done a few sessions in the gym and called that a pre season maybe football is not his no1 priority and its a shame because he came across as a genuinely decent guy who could have went down a real cult hero. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzar Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 One other thing - we probably should have beaten Arbroath and Hamilton given the number of chances we created in both games. I'd like us to be a bit more clinical therefore but, as singular criticism goes, it'll suffice for now. At this level we can't expect to uncover another Shankland though the coming week or so, signing-wise, will be interesting for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayr23 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I heard that Adeloye had a contract basically all sorted with Dundee, and at the last minute went to Swindon because they were offering £300 a week more… I think his agent has fucked it for him with that move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he didn’t end up at Dundee. £300 a week more is fairly significant as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxanne's man Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 One of our best performance's last season (poor season, let's be honest) was against Dundee United. Took them right to the wire and they sneaked a win. Could anyone imagine Ayr playing Dundee United now? Dare say even at their worst, Ayr wouldn't slump to a 9-0 defeat to Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
