FREDDYFRY Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Bizarrely last weeks staring 11 contained a nucleus again of a decent side. A midfield containing McAllister, Splain and Livingston is actually pretty effective. A proper CM replacement for Gomis in there would be very welcome. Cuddihy at RB strengthens what has been a huge issue all season. With Cunningham fit along with the option of Jaimieson again if, big if we could get a decent loan striker, we are back where we were 15 months ago with a team we could build on. (Obviously we can never replace with a player of Goodwillie’s level) What a wasted opportunity this and last season has been, we can’t allow it to happen again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming we must have someone coming in as at leaves us with only 3 centre halves and one of them usually ends up filling at right back. Is Marco still playing these days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what they're getting at is that even Danny Lennon didn't recruit him. The player approached the manager. Probably best to just stop this now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 My only issue with the Balitoni signing was that obviously nobody had seen him play in previous 12 months or so. If they had it was obvious he was finished. However, at the time I actually thought we were getting the player we had seen in L2 on previous occasions and was actually ok with it, but as we all know that wasn’t the case… again my point I assume no one had watched him, at least hope nobody had , if they had and still signed him that that’s a worry! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The mere fact Edinburgh let him go should have been considered more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haufdaft Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Why would we pay a player who needed to actively hawk himself around clubs a relatively high salary?That flies in the face of the traditional supply and demand convention.Then again, we gave McGrath a two year contract.All sounds very Clyde like to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make it better or worse? I think at that stage we’d been either turned down or messed about by loads of target signings.....not sure we had any CB’s signed at that point..... Rumsby was late, Elsden even later and not quite sure about Page. Panic was surely setting it. Edited February 25, 2022 by JBJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
