mishtergrolsch Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, ArabFC said: I really don’t get what anyone sees in Sporle. He’s a crap left-back and a crap wide player. He gets a game every now and then and then does his best headless chicken impression. His only real value is his flexibility and popping up with a very occasional goal but we need alternatives to our only wide player in Niskanen and Sporle will never be good enough. Agree. Sporle is rotten. His only attribute is that hes a complete headless chicken which bamboozles not only the opposition but Sporle himself. 3 hours ago, Granny Danger said: Disagree about Watt. We need a goal scorer now. Our chance creation is so poor he'll hardly make a difference till we address that imo. Maybe a few goals but I'm struggling to see 250k (Allegedly) for 6 months being worth it. We'd have to finish an extra 2 places higher in the table than we would be expecting to without him. Bearing in mind our goal was 6th (at least) this season, we'd be looking at 4th to make that square off. Not taking cup runs into account, of course. Hibs, Aberdeen and Hertz are all bigger spenders than us and probably in the Edinburgh clubs case, are far better teams. Aberdeen appear to be getting their shit together too now. I'm not particularly against Watt, im not his biggest fan by any means but if the chairman wants to lob a couple hundred grand out his own pocket then cool, crack on. Just think there must be other options out there as a short term solution taking into account there's an agent running the show.

Bids for Kerr Smith from Crystal Palace apparently too. Maybe we could send them Liam Smith instead? A double decker bus full of £50 notes spotted leaving Tannadice for Motherwell earlier today. I hope Harkes was driving and there wasn't enough fuel to get back. My guess would be one of Benji or Fuchs will be away this window too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've long since accepted Fuchs would be away, my only remaining hope for that is that he doesn't stay in the league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low end Championship to top of League 1 id guess. Or most likely off abroad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartyFears2 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 If Carson is away, I’d be looking at David Marshall 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Carson being offloaded is a massive surprise. Surely you'd just take the opportunity to bench/sell Siegrist now to keep Carson happy since he would be your future long term keeper? Especially since there's no risk of going down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arab_joe Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 22 hours ago, ArabianKnight said: Unless we had another gem of a keeper lined up to replace Benji and Carson it would be utterly mental both going or even the possibility of both going. Agree with this - surely there is a decent chance that Benji is either going this month or is (as is common with players that sign pre-contract agreements with other teams) going to be phased out in the second half of the season. Carson has looked pretty decent when called upon, I would not be averse to him getting a proper run out in this next couple of months. 21 hours ago, Tap in 94 said: We are linked with David Odumusu, Irish u21 International goalie He's 20. That scares me. I'm not sure we have relied on such a young keeper since Paul Gallacher. 21 hours ago, mishtergrolsch said: I'd be pretty disappointed if we spent a couple of hundred grand on getting Watt 6 months early. Especially someone with as varied a record as him. Hes found a club he fits with and I just can't see it being replicated to the same level at Utd. Agree with this - he is undoubtedly on a great run of form, but I just have a horrible feeling he might revert to the Tony Watt that was at Hearts and St Johnstone (and every other club in his career, really) when he comes to us. 18 hours ago, ArabFC said: I really don’t get what anyone sees in Sporle. He’s a crap left-back and a crap wide player. Hard to argue with this - I've sometimes wondered if he should be given a bash up front/just off the striker. He has a half-decent eye for goal and surely we have needed a second guy up there on at least a few occasions this season. 12 hours ago, mishtergrolsch said: Bids for Kerr Smith from Crystal Palace apparently too. Get him and Scott Banks back on loan for the next 18 months and it's a deal. 10 hours ago, Ludo*1 said: Especially since there's no risk of going down. I love your confidence!

gannonball Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Watt is a total confidence player so would think a lot of clubs would be wary offering him a decent long term deal. However Courts comes across as a good man manager so it may be a good fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Harry Lewis on loan from Southampton… and he turned out to be thoroughly mediocre. He was on the bench for them the other day though. And don’t forget the Zwick & Szromnik double act, which was a major contributory factor in our relegation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Unless all these lads are away to form the first team that's a lot of boys kicking their heels and /or warming the bench each Saturday and not playing football. Because I'm a racist I got Odomosu and Bazunu mixed up and got really excited for a minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
