Shandon Par Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 4 minutes ago, The Moonster said: Aye, if I'm taking the b*****ds view of this signing, it's likely to be another player that makes us quite a hateable squad this season. Grant Adam, Bobby Barr and Thomson could all be targets of abuse this year, it's been a while since people haven't liked us so it's a nice change. Ideal signings for putting the boot into some of these wee teams, like Raith. You should get big M'Voto in too. He really knows how to smash people.

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Not fussed about him mocking the homeless or booting puppies tbh. I fully endorse a few right nasty arseholes in the squad. #announcegoodwillie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Ryan Thomson confirmed. I hadn't realised it was Aitken who signed him at Stranraer before joining us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron2000 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 He’ll be a meh addition I reckon but definitely better than than some other players we could have got for back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I don’t think he will be meh. Certainly scores plenty if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 That's 13 signed, do we reckon another 3 signings? Goalkeeper, cover for full back, winger/forward player? Genuinely unsure as to how the budget stretches further than that with the players we've signed but maybe I'll be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I'd say we'll probably be looking at 16/17 in total comes the closing of the window. We've not dipped into the loan market yet, so a loan winger/striker and defender, and a cheap number two 'keeper would be fine by me. Ideally it'd be nice to bring in another out and out striker and a natural winger, but I'd be surprised if the budget will manage that. Although the squad will be small we've got a few options. Dowie, Mango and Carsy can cover at RB, Ballantyne and Thomson can both play as wingers (as well as SeaGal obviously) and obviously Mango can do a job in central-midfield (if he has someone with the legs around him). All we're really lacking is another naturally left-sided player to cover for Dyer and/or give us a more natural wide option on that side. Thomson should be a decent squad player. Not at the same level as Carsy or Forbes, but a guy who'll put in a shift, is versatile and could add a bit more energy to the team. Be interesting to see how we lineup tomorrow - and who the trialists are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 'I'd be more afraid of facing Callum Gallagher than Loy.' 'I'd prefer to have John Baird than Loy.' First one is debatable. What is bizarre about that second one though? Seriously. Preferring a guy who played in the same league as Loy did just last year and a guy who scored more goals just last year and has also had a very similar career to Loy.

DumbartonTheSons Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 It'll be interesting to see the shape of the team though pre-season and at the start of it proper in August.I'd be surprised if Thomson will be content to sit on the bench and if he is a goalscoring midfielder as some have said, I can't say I think the bench is the best place for him either.Another solid signing on the face of it, maybe a couple of loans to augment what we have already?

Supremesons Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 We’ll surely take the maximum amount of loan players on which is 4 right? I’m sure Jamie will send someone from Motherwell our way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to pay a percentage of the wages, which for youth players in the Prem is more than you'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 If jaz isn't signing on to be our reserve keeper as the workload is too much/Motherwell won't let him. Maybe he will send us a Motherwell youngster to be back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squeezeboxson Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Done some digging on the Stranraer thread. Looks like mixed reviews... Sadly fans also suggesting that he is better in front of the defence. Just what we need? GrantGall2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
