Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 The fact that Durrant is urging us to sign Ross Perry makes me seriously question if he's the correct man for the job tbqhwy. As for the suggestion that we should actively look to sign Burt... did he really make THAT much of an impact? I actually thought a lot of the time he fell into the 'headless chicken' category despite looking quick and direct. I wanted to see him used more than he was simply due to the fact what we had on the park at the time was contributing to weekly shaggings from every team we faced (bar Dundee Utd). We would also probably be playing Championship football next season had he ran the ball into the corner instead of hitting a powderpuff shot straught at the Alloa goalie. He done a similar thing in the first leg away at Alloa but we weren't punished that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albundy Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Sun reporting that Ian Durrant is urging Aitken to sign Ross Perry Could be paper talk, however, if it came off I'd be worried about Durrants influence with the growing number of ex ger youths.

BallochSonsFan Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I don't care where players come from - the only thing that matters is that they're of the required standard. Durrant directing Aitken towards ex-Gers players was always likely to happen. He's worked with these players before and know them. The danger is that he perhaps doesnt have the contacts within lower league football to recommend alternatives. Are they really the best players we could get? Ross Perry doesnt exactly fill me with confidence. With a kid like Liam Burt there's a big doubt over his overall contribution over the course of a game. He's great in flashes but is he a luxury player in a league full of guys who will be giving 100% for 90 minutes? For me he's the kind of guy you potentially carry for what he can give you in flashes but you need to accept that you are carrying him and that he isnt going to give you a whole lot of grit or defensive work. If the Durrant factor helps Stevie sign players we perhaps otherwise wouldn't be favourites to sign then it's a benefit to the club. If we're targeting guys he's worked with previously at the expense of bringing in more effective players from elsewhere then it would be a worry. Time will tell.

GMBairn Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Robbie Thomson could do a job for you and if he has any self-awareness he will realise league 1 is about his level so he should be an achievable signing. Ross Perry on the other hand is a fucking terrible player, worse than a man down even in league 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 See we’ve got St Mirren in the league cup groups, cue Div charging in complaining about prices I was coming here to say I hope we get them at home so we can charge more than the other home game. Not entirely sure if we'd be allowed to do that. Fairly sure both clubs would have to agree on ticket prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those robbing b*****ds would probably insist on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
