Would be pleasantly surprised if we signed McLean but really can’t see it happening. When did he last play week in week out? He might struggle being a regular starter, especially with his injury problems.
I’d settle for Kenny Miller who has at least been playing regularly.
I really don’t want Doolan!0 -
One injury and they pull out. Would prefer the cash now thank you.
They club are getting it just now0 -
If we do sign Mansell then it shows just how far down our list of targets we have had to go. Mcglynn said at the start of the window that he wanted to sign a proven goalscorer and not someone who’s just going to be a squad player.

If you were Kenny Miller and presumably in the last 6 months of your playing career, you’d have thought a stint in league 1 with a team who attack and create chances would be more appealing than another 6 months with a struggling championship team where he might hardly get a look in.

My battery has been dead my mid day on my phone all week with refreshing twitter etc.
Oh for the ‘signing news soon’ post...0 -
Do Airdrie offer a streaming service of their home games? I’m currently sunning myself in Cape Town but wouldn’t mind tuning in!

For someone who thinks Fife is so down market, you seem to be spending an awful lot of time on our forum?

This will be a very difficult game for us. I was really impressed with Airdrie at Starks Park where we narrowly managed to hold on for a win. I’d probably take a draw to be honest!

How much did Alloa get from Celtic for Greg Spence? He was only 16 when he came through, surely a similar situation for Ziggy?

Do you think his Grandad Bill can teach you how to spell his name correctly?

Strange it didn't have a compensation clause.
The issue was with the clause he had, allowing him to discuss terms with another team if we didn’t go up. Seemingly it wasn’t a straight forward ‘he can leave if we don’t get promoted’0 -
However if you had offered one then you would have been due to compensation - its only because he agreed terms with us before a new deal was offered by you guys that he left for free.
That’s incorrect. He still had another year left on his deal.0 -
Let’s not forget, the club are still paying Bowie an apprentice contract (£100 p/w??) this season and next year. It won’t be until year three that his new deal kicks in. If they wanted to keep him, why not pay him decent money now instead of signing Kenny Miller?

Look at what happened to Lewis Vaughan. Footballers careers can turn in an in instant. He would be right to take a good offer if it came his way.

Typical falkirk fan? Its only common sense that if u are paying someone off the deal will be less than its going to cost you in wages to keep him. Otherwise there is no point in letting him go. We've paid off enough dross over the last few seasons that we're pretty much experts in that matter.
I’m pretty sure Kenny Miller will have enough money in the bank at this stage of his career that he can afford to lose a few quid so he can continue to play most weeks.0 -
You guys are always pleading poverty on here but i wouldnt have thought miller would come cheap.
Miller will be offered whatever we can afford and it’ll be up to him to take it or leave it. I doubt very much he can make any demands at his age0 -
The thing is, I don’t Baird is passing if he is in the same position as Spencer. Happy if Miller signs but feel sorry for our midfield, can’t be many that rival Miller and Baird for complaining!
Yeah too right Baird would have been shooting! I don’t like the selfish side of Bairds game, always moaning if he’s not played in. I still love him though!1 -
How do we line up if we do sign Kenny? I’m pretty sure, at his age, he will only be going somewhere where’s he’s had a guarantee of a game. Assuming then that he will be first choice, who do we leave out? I can’t see it working with him and Baird up top but seems a bit of a shame to bomb out Bairdy who’s just starting to come onto a game.

Could we really do better? Mcglynn has been trying to do that for 26 days in this window so far, and has been knocked back 4 times. The Gullan situation isn't in our hands so don't know what else there is. Chance a loan signing and hope they are decent?
We can't just rely on Bowie, Baird and Smith. Smith is untested really and Bowie has fantastic potential, but is still young and raw. Granted we scored a good few goals yesterday, but away to Forfar we were crying out for a centre forward to get on the end of those great cross balls.
Miller is not my first choice, I doubt he's anyone's at this stage of his career. But he's a vastly experienced centre forward who scores goals. Granted its a risk given his age, but we have a pressing need to get out this league in the next 4 months. Its worth a gamble, and you can't say he wouldn't buried some of the glaring chances that have cost us points this season.
Think the Skacel comparisons are lazy. He was brought in as Lockes mate having not played in a few years. I'd like to think we owe Mcglynn a bit more credit than that.
We are a League 1 club who have lost out on every target so far in this window. I'm not really sure what other credible options are out there.
Good post Calderon. My thoughts exactly. I’d also add he’s scored 10 goals, more than stone in a Raith shirt has, for a struggling team in a higher league than us.0 -
Calderon... with the opener coming from Ross Matthews, he too was once a teenager that Mcglynn took a chance on.

I can't help but thinking that we'd be shitting the players fund down the drain with him.
We don't struggle to score, however we do struggle to defend.
f**k that attitude Zen. We will just score more than the opposition. Where’s your sense of fun?0 -

I’d sign that Niang in a heartbeat. Looks a fantastic player! Where did you get him from?

Got injured not long into his loan spell but looked good in the few games he did play. Should be a good signing for you guys.
