Brian Carrigan Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 There’s clearly some kind of ‘tactic’ re: the signings. Any dafty could look at the players available and identify that the likes of Joe McKee, Russell MacLean, Morgyn Neill etc would improve the team and move to sign them. We’re based centrally, have a generally well regarded manager and are reasonably placed in L1 - all attractive propositions for players. Yet we’re signing players like Owen Andrew, Rob Jones and Billy Mortimer. As has been said, DL signed McStay, Grant, Rankin, Banks etc so he is clearly able to identify what’s required to improve the squad. There’s a disconnect there, something we’re not seeing, and it stinks. One player I think we should attempt to sign is Alan Trouten - he would be perfect to sit in at 10 and link Goodie and the midfield. We desperately need some kind of creativity to transition midfield play into attack, and if that’s not touched upon in January then something is really wrong. I don’t mean some joey from Rangers B, we need an established SPFL player. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replays Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I’d be putting in an enquiry for Fin Robertson given he’s returned to Dundee after his loan spell at Cove. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has happened to his judgement of potential players to sign? He has clearly made some good signings in the past. Why has that so difficult for him since we have been promoted? Good question but most of his signings since promotion have been hopeless At the end of the day as a manager the majority of your signing need to work out for you to have success. Mitchell was a good signing but more like due to the the goalkeeping coach we had at the time Fahey rather than DL On paper I thought Chris Johnston would be a good signing but he just never worked out as I thought he would Other than those 2 can’t think of any other decent signings since promotion (wait and see - someone will come along and pull someone out the hat have forgotten) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM. Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) The summer window started off well too with Gomis. Don't think there's many that would've thought that was a poor signing. Then the same day we announced Mark Docherty (who by all accounts has had a marked improvement in recent weeks but still a big ? of a signing). The season we came up I could see the thinking behind the likes of Johnston, Wallace and Smith (up there with the better L2 players) but it just didn't seem to happen for any of them.

ClydeFCTheBullyWee Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I think it’s clear we need signings big time, imo if we’re going for loans we need players that are actually gna improve our squad like Otoo did. Personally from going to watch the Clyde vs Celtic colts game id be going for Moffat or Vata, two incredibly pacey and skillful wingers full of confidence who ripped us to shreads n I think would do a job in our team n league. We can’t be going for League 1/2 bench warmers n saying “they’re experienced players with great quality” well if they’re so great then why are they sitting on the bench every week??? Danny and the recruitment team need to get their fingers out and get a few good players in the door n hope we can secure a top 7 finish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd heard we were going for Moffat, with his age and him having had a taste of first team football you'd think he'd want to get out and play in the SPFL but who knows. Even if he does come, we're still crying out for a couple of established players, as we always are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think either take in any matches with an eye on scouting. Unhappily, we have a system that hasn't worked. Our summer additions prove that. DL loses if "he" signs the caliber of player we did in the summer, but he also loses if we make no signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde01 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 What’s the point of having and paying for a ‘recruitment team’ if we aren’t making moves.We could have signed the same shite (or similar) we got in the summer and nobody in January without shelling out a salary to a recruitment team. Might even be more money in the pot without wasting it on them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride Of The Clyde Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Exactly, why do we have a salaried recruitment team who can’t recruit players. As much use as boiling a kettle in a power cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the hell did the recruitment team and Danny Lennon not see what we, as amateurs, could see? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
