If we can’t get two or three in with real quality then we’re in a three way slug fest with Morton and QoS for the Seaside . Its a three way slug fest regardless. Its rare for any team to get 2 or 3 real quality signings in January at any level of the game. It definitely doesn't happen in the bottom half of the Championship, it just doesn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe holding out to see who will offer the best terms, or teams are taking their time doing their due diligence after he left Dunfermline under a cloud. Would happily take a punt on him though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that's the case and we aren't going back to a formation with 3 CB's due to a lack of wingers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 As for Mason Robertson it’s a hard no for me. Was pretty average in League 1 and I’ve no idea what the standard is like over in India but it’s no the time to be taking gambles with him. Also he’s a striker that won’t be much different to what we’ve got with Adeloye and McKenzie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Paul Watson would be a cracking signing. Would comfortably be the best centre half at the club* *Well aware that is a pretty low bench mark. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For teams struggling, unless you are prepared to go and buy players or get exceptionally lucky and pick up the best of the guys dropping down the leagues then you are going to be reliant on two or three loans that may or may not work. We’ve already said that we’re prioritising guys that can still be here next season which would suggest we’re leaving loans as a last resort. Also the position we’re trying to fill is such a crucial one that you don’t get many opportunities to fill it in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I responded to the suggestion it "definitely doesn't happen in the bottom half of the Championship, it just doesn't" by pointing out it literally did just last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST) we don’t really have time to be waiting on players making a decision on whether to come or not. We should be making them an offer with a strict deadline. If they haven’t accepted offer by that deadline then we withdraw it and move on to another target. I think a few will have had discussions and it’s maybe waiting on us getting the right person , some times you need to convince people to move as they are happy where they are , it’s a certainty we don’t have all eggs in the one basket on this one Edited January 18, 2022 by Finlay21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be an upgrade on what we've got IMO plus he was a defensive partner with Muirhead for almost 3 years at Falkirk which could help to sway him. Would surely see one of Baird, McGinty or Fjortoft leave, something tells me it would end up being the latter.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defence doesn’t get any protection unless Muirhead is playing and he isn’t a midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
