If you get the guy who was at Derry it's a bit of a meh signing. If you get the guy who was at cork it's an absolute waste of money as he was murder. Hasn't played for a year and not surprising with how bad he was haha. OK BoB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit concerned he won't have played in essentially a year by the time the season comes round but hopefully he'll develop into a handy player. Good to get another forward in anyway. Time will tell with all these signings but at least we appear to have a substantially balanced squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 From what I've managed to learn of Eoghan Stokes he seems to be more of a 10 (or maybe even a winger) than a 9 so another striker would still be a welcome addition. In attacking roles that would likely play in a "front 4" in a 4231 we now have Gallagher, Carrick, Roy, Thomson, Robert, O'Reilly and Stokes (not including the reserves kept on). Not exactly short of options but it will be interesting to see who plays and where. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Ray Grant is a name being thrown about.I mentioned him on here when he was released by Clyde a few weeks ago. I think he'd be a solid addition and I can believe that Millar would be interested but I haven't really seen any rumours linking him to us. That said though, there was talk a while ago of us signing a midfielder who can also play left back, I suppose that could be Grant? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah grant can play left back so could be him, would be a very solid signing. Heard he was looking for a full time club, positive falkirk were interested though. Hopefully we've offered him a deal, still in need of another cm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Hoping the new Irish fella is signed more so for out wide/attacking mid and we're still expecting the big striker from down south as planned. Don't really know what to make of him and he'll be judged, as will the rest, after we've played everyone once. Good to have someone who can fill in up top in an emergency but I'd much rather still have Carrick being the link between midfield and attack with a unit up top giving defenders a hard time, we've lacked someone like that for a while, and as much as I love Callum Gallagher and the work rate he has, I still just think he's the man that will grab you a winner/goal in the last 15 mins being in the right place at the right time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we've offered him a deal, still in need of another cm He can just about get away with playing left-back because he reads the game brilliantly. You wouldn't ever want to play him there though; he's not got a burst of pace, isn't great in the air, isn't particularly physical and more importantly you'd be losing him from midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the grant rumours have a bit of substance then I can only assume he's for the midfield. We're pretty well covered at the back with macdonald, McCann, Fordyce (IMO) able to cover left back before him in an emergency. Grants exactly the type of player I've been wanting to sign for a few years, not positionally, but someone who's performed well for a "lower ranked team" (no offence intended) in our own league. There's got to be a mix of a bit of flair and attack with guys who know the league and have performed well for their respective clubs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not I’d imagine McKay and Sabatini will be starting CMs if stokes is more of an attacking mid then another Forward who can add goals should be a priority 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
