the_bully_wee Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) I note from Tony Wallace's Instagram bio that he's nicknamed The Bone, and would like to politely request that he is exclusively referred to as such by my fellow Clyde fans henceforth. Many thanks. ETA: For some further, less-essential, substance within this post, Instagram also informed me that Tom Lang is on his way back to Scotland, so I'd imagine his signing announcement at Dunfermline will happen over the next couple of days.

SLClyde Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Not sure how much we got for Lang but Dunfermline have thanked us for agreeing a fair compensation deal. Lang was excellent at centre half and I can see him doing well at Dunfermline. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpaty Lviv Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 It’s a great move for him, we get some cash for the transfer, we move on. Wish him all the best. Wonder if the cash will go towards a replacement. Interesting times ahead! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 How do you think he’ll manage the jump from League Two to Championship? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 He was far too good for League 2, as a centre half. Don't ever play him at right-back. He's quick, powerful, good on the ball. Very aggressive, but it probably suits him better to be more of a sweeper. The big test will be whether the Dunfermline fans/management have a bit of patience when he throws in a rotten performance, which he did a couple of times and is more likely to be punished in the Championship. Give him plenty of game-time and I've no doubt he'll adjust to that level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeLad Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Great guy and great player, let’s be honest no replacement will be as good as Tom Lang but all the best to him. Hopefully we can get some new signings announced soon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's good enough, but I agree that some patience might be required. He looks as if he's got the potential to play at least at Championship level, but... and there are a couple of buts. 99% of the time he is cool, calm & collected - but is prone to a bombscare moment every couple of games, sometimes due to over-confidence, and sometimes due to lunging into tackles (he was sent off twice last season). With the right coaching he could turn out to be top class. Would definitely have chosen to keep him, but good luck to him in the rest of his career. He certainly did a job for us . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_bully_wee Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Why does Lang still have such a devout fan club even after he's left? He played (well) for us for half a season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawfield shed boy Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Lang was a "complete" stand out since coming in at Peterhead away and included...Him and Rumsby were perfect fit. One rough and agressive,Other perfect reader of game and timed tackles to perfection..Good Luck Tom,We move on and im sure Danny aware that position was needing filled weeks ago which i include Mcstay shirt aswell (Once again my opinion) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimsby often does the unglamorous job and Niff was imo, a better centre half than left back. Is Watt the replacement? I liked Lang but if I'm honest, he was prone to, as was said earlier, over-playing and moments of madness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingo ohne Flamingo Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Was on the phone to a mate who's pals with Eamon Brophy this evening, Kirk Broadfoot is to join us on a season long loan. He's been told by the new manager that he's not in his plans but is stopping short of releasing him from his contract early so he has the option of a recall. Not what I'd hope to replace Lang but a good signing at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
