It takes a lot of effort to spot a Pittman or similar; there's a lot of players out there looking for clubs so it makes sense to see if we've missed someone. In most cases it costs very little and a few days training will show whether they at least have the hunger to try and make it work. It has been frequently stated that a number of clubs, with significantly larger budgets than ours, have been watching some of our players. Our scouting process needs to be fully active to be able to fill any gaps quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - so we should only sign those that have a real chance of competing for first team place or developing into an excellent prospect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orco Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 If I remember correctly Pittman and Byrne weren't first picks right away. They worked for their chance and got it. That route is open to anyone we sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I think we’re all in favour of us looking at new faces on an ongoing basis. Over the years, I think we’ve done a good job of improving the squad and moving on players that don’t look like they are going to establish themselves. Also, excited that we have a bit more offensive guile now. Question - will we achieve more or less total points in the final 19 fixtures of this season (vs. the first)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to know, if Hardie stays and with Raffa and Miller back from injury, along with us moving players on and bringing in some new signing to strengthen us, we look like being a lot stronger. However we're now seen as a decent side that can't be taken lightly and opposition managers know what to expect against us, so games will prob be a lot tougher for us to get points in. Looking forward to it anyway, i'd love to get past Hearts and have a good cup run along with a chance of a top six spot. It has been an unbelievable couple of seasons for us, and this season has the potential of keeping that crazy mad trip we're on going a little bit longer.

crispy Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The Falkirk Herald, ”East Stirlingshire lost to Livingston under-20s on Tuesday night. And in the Lions side was Camelon defender Ryan Lockie. The Premiership side ran the rule over the trialist full-back in the bounce game at Almondvale. Derek Ure’s Shire side lost 2-0.

Shaun De Bruyne Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Buzzing for Sunday, feels like forever since we’ve had a game! Just wondering how we’ll line up though and if any of the new boys or players coming back from injury will get a start. Nice to see De Vita making a return with a goal in the reserves and Lamie got game time in Portugal we’ve been desperately missing him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Aberdeen have offered Craig Halkett a contract, according to the same journalist who claims they've offered Joe Shaughnessy a deal. The Shaughnessy rumour has been confirmed as true, so sounds like the Halkett one is too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small change from an English top flight club is bound to be at least 7-figs, right? RIGHT?! Does the contract running out really matter that much, for the fee, when there are so many teams in for him?

With all the teams in for him we could see them perhaps bidding to get him in this window which could drive his price up...however, if they are all content to wait until the summer it's just going to be whichever club offers him the best deal. If the Cardiff deal sees the boy that's been on trial join us then I wouldn't be against it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll all be trying to secure the player first. Edited January 17, 2019 by RandomGuy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
