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...

The player approached the manager. Probably best to just stop this now. Oh all right. If you say so. Clearly you speak for others too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree wholeheartedly with your other post though that he is part of a recruitment “team” 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...

Unless he hails from that region. Be interesting to compare our 2 loanees against our competitors in league 1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Clyde FC Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 5 minutes ago, SLClyde said: Peterhead getting a player from accies and Montrose a player from Dundee today, but there’s nobody available… Concerning IMHO. P Heid and Montrose might've been better placed geographically...or have picked up a player for position we don't have a gap for like RB, CH, CM, RW or CF, or another CH or a 2nd CF. I don't know, but we seem off the pace recruitment-wise. Since Xmas we've lost our CF and a CH, in a kind of planned way, but we seem incapable of finding any warm body to fill the berth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
