Oh right, your thread were making it sound as if it was the second coming of Kieran Tierney, the other whisper I heard was Alloa were interested, can understand Falkirk at a push, but Alloa if true is an unusual destination for the lad... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other clubs seem to be claiming thousands for having players yet Rico Quitongo has been with us for 2 years since he was 19 and we get nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s comfortably the best left back in the league and has been for both seasons we’ve been down here. He would be an excellent signing. Don’t think anyone thinks he’s a world beater and the championship could be his level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Oracle Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I accept Quitongo is unlikely to be anywhere near the quality of Leon McCann, however can we afford to have two left backs? Surely we’re better investing whatever McCann’s wage would be into a better centre forward or another holding midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any upside to quitongo at all tbh, would have been better searching further afield if we need to replace that position. Hopefully McCann is as ambitious as he claims and goes somewhere better than Falkirk if he is indeed going. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr November Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Excluding McCann and Robert, who we all assume will be away at this point, we currently have 16 players signed up. Looking at what we have, we’ve quietly went about building the basis of a decent squad, with room for another couple of quality additions. GK: Currie, Cantley DF: Wardrop, Walker, Watson, Kerr, Fordyce, Quitongo MF: Frizzell, Ritchie, Agnew, McCabe, Easton FW: Gallagher, Allan, Pyott We’re pretty much sorted in terms of keepers and defence, perhaps a versatile defender who can cover centre back and left back in case we use a back three often but I’m pretty happy with what we have already. Wardrop should be an upgrade on Walker and Watson should be better at building from the back than McKay was. Quitongo is a downgrade on McCann but hopefully playing slightly further forward might cover some of his defensive issues. Midfield looks much better after yesterday’s signings. Easton, Frizzell, McCabe and Agnew should offer a lot more goals, creativity and assists than our usual midfield options over the last few years. We definitely need a defensive minded midfielder and I assume we will we be trying to sign one after missing out on Paton. Looking at the players we have I suspect we’ll be going with the same 3-5-2 system we used at the end of last season as Frizzell, Agnew, Easton and McCabe all suited to the two attacking midfield positions within that. We could do with a winger too though, just to give us some options to vary things when needed. We definitely need another decent striker in to compete with the ones we currently have. I think Gallagher will be our main striker, which I’m fine with, but we need someone else to compete with him or play beside him, as I’m not convinced Allan or Pyott are good enough for that yet. Murray mentioned we’d be going for quality over quantity which seems sensible and a definite change from the last couple of years where we’ve had by far the biggest squad in the league when including all the reserve players. I think we’re probably a defensive midfielder, winger, striker and possibly defensive cover away from being sorted. Given how many players have left, I’m quite pleased with how things have gone so far this summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCanns stock is rising sky high without kicking a ball this off season, wherever he ends up it won't make it break either clubs season, Quitongo is a more than decent left back at our level, Do we need another holding midfield player, Kerr, Watson, McCabe even Agnew could play there.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallagher sometimes goes off the boil and the goals disappear for a few games. Yes, whoever our forwards are they are sure to get excellent service from the middle of the park but I’d like to get someone for Gal to partner with. If I was Murray I’d be fully focused on this right now. Should be his top priority 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
