Haha Giving Rhys the job means for the first season in ages we aren't wholesale rebuilding the squad. In terms of players we had on our books last year. Aggy (who folk for some reason hated) is gone , Easton is away which is a huge loss but expected cause dafties voted him player of the year and Currie , who we seem to have improved on. Not exactly a shambles. We we get beat 6-0 off Peterhead first game of the season...now that's shambles 10 minutes ago, Rossm25 said: I think he's more aiming it at the "it's a shambles" posts.

We have not signed anyone on loan yet. We have literally just started pre season. Joke Is hanging your hat on loanees not pretty desperate are they not supposed to be the added extra to add to the team once your 18 have signed up not add them to an undersized squad to make he numbers look respectable... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every season under Murray we had a couple of loan players that were first team regulars. Smith and McCann. Turner, Paton, Connell. McInroy, Paterson, McGill. Not just to make up the numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree difference was we had a squad of around 22 in those sides including loanees, we currently have a squad of 12 , massive difference, do the hard yards sign players up then go for loanees otherwise recruitment as failed.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t think he’d be a first team signing by any stretch but it does give this list some validity.Not familiar with many of those names, I know McMaster was a young player at St Mirren and Vata at Celtic, but not much more. I looked up Ruiz-Diaz since the name was more interesting and see he’s Australian. Wonder if he’s a youngster Celtic are looking to sign and loan out given their Australian connection and our proclivity to bring Celtic players in on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be blunt here that is a clusterfuck of a team lineup a mix of lower league failures and unknowns, 1 st pre season game admittedly we have our first competitive game in 10 days where we really need to sign players for..... Fordyce is saying in the Record interview he only needs 3 or 4 players.... That would bring us up to 15 or 16. ??

Glenmavis Diamond Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 You've got to love the optimism of Airdrie fans. Always calm during preseason, always looking at the positives, not panicking at all. Never over thinking friendly results, Willing to give new and unknown players the opportunity....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did my eyes deceive or was Pat Pyott leading the line against Accies Summed it up perfectly with 1 word there. But I highly doubt that’s the finished article, I really effing hope not anyways! My interpretation of Dycey’s interview was that he wants 3 or 4 experienced signings. And then the rest will be loanees to make up the squad. Getting Wotherspoon/Iain King vibes from this close season. But hopefully by the start of the season, we can look back and laugh at all the worry for nothing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club have to act and get this support structure in place, we need an old head with a coaching badge to oversee and aid McCabe and Fordyce, if not this season could unravel quicker than my Xmas wrapping, Pretty sure Ruiz Diaz was on trial at Clyde at end of last year, nothing to do with Celtic...

airdrieman Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 This is from Bright Okosun's Facebook page. I am all in - get the boy signed. Bright Osemudiamen Prince Okosun, born of a Nigerian parents in Spain, formally played for CD Yuncos, Toledo and Getafe Football Club junior team, Madrid, Spain respectively. and he played for VFR Fischeln 1920 EV, Krefeld, Dusseldolf, Germany. Fortuna Dusseldolf 05, KFC UERDINGEN 05 Krefeld, Germany and presently in Summerston YFC, Glasgow Scotland. He puts himself in that class of top striker in his clubs with his skillful displays on the field of play. Ose, as he is popularly chanted by fans, often displays ability in his powerful shots. He is a threat to every goal keeper from outside the 18-yard box; he generates many more scoring opportunities for his team always and outruns his opponents on long balls. Defenders may be bigger than him, but with his speed, he frustrates defenders and does what he knows best, that is the scoring abilities. Surprisingly, Ose was born October 26th, 2015, but looks more than his tender age on the pitch of play with the matured ability to move with the ball on a higher speed and shot at goal post without falling down easily . He reads the play and position himself accordingly, by either freeing up space or getting open for a pass and constantly aware of the offside trap and position himself in front of the last defender. Bright Osemudiamen Prince Okosun, can score goals with any part of his body. He shoots at goal post with his head, foot and chest. He shows his hunger for goals and finishes the ball controls with any means possible to put the ball at the back of the net easily. …his future just began as the meaning of his dialectical name “Osemudiamen” means “God stands for/behind me in whatever I do” 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
