thruthenight Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Just now, ATLIS said: His deal has an option for an extra year which I imagine we'll take up. I'm going to say it too, thank f**k Dolly and Pepe are away Pepe ended up being a disaster of a signing, but there will always be a place in my heart for Dolly. Epitomised the chaosball we played when we first got promoted. Utterly loved him in that first year, and I'm disappointed that he clearly hasn't been into it since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, with the current squad, its unlikely that he'd even get a regular place on the bench at the moment. Without Dykes around, I'd have 2018 Dolly as my first choice striker in our current system. Hamilton has potential but is raw, I still don't think SAL was a good signing at all and Poplatnik hasn't had time to shine yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it helped that fans (and clearly the coaches) saw him as a winger rather than a physical centre forward where he was a lot more dangerous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) New signing imminent - better be this Serrano boy and not fucking Stokes ffs. Hopefully a decent striker from out of the blue though Edited August 21, 2020 by ATLIS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Frees up wages for Stokes then. That's the EEN reporting he's signing for us now, may well just be copying the DR story but it's gaining momentum in the media. Dolly would've got a chance with Dykes away, ideal to lead the line with his pace and bull in a china shop style, always gave us a decent out ball and just ran and ran with the ball, he was relentless. Didn't look interested in being here after that first season though, so best all round that he's away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLIS Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Livingston FC are delighted to announce the signing of striker Lars Lokotsch and defender Julien Serrano. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thruthenight Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Interesting. Released by a 4th tier German side doesn't exactly suggest a great pedigree. Serrano looks like a decent signing though. Let's see how they do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not going to be signing recognised stars, it's always going to be a case of taking a chance on signings, some hit others miss. Here's hoping big Lars does the biz up front, at the very least he looks a good sized target man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 As far as I can see Lars Lokotsch didn't turn professional until he was 20/21 so maybe a bit of an unknown but one of our recruitment aims seems to be targeted at players we feel we can develop and sell on Obviously he showed some potential in his trial? Signing another defender seemed a bit strange particularly as McMillan had done so well and we have ATS as well; also Julien Serrano is apparently contracted to Monaco until 2022 so its only an interim loan. Still I suppose we could argue that we'd released a "forward" and defender and got a forward and defender in return? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn Hooch Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Looking at Lars' goalscoring record he seems to score on average once every 3 games...not a bad return. Will be interesting to see how he handles the step up. He certainly looks like a target man. Serrano seems like a bit of a coup for us...highly rated from what I've heard with some first team appearances for Monaco including an appearance against Dortmund!!

thruthenight Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Holt's been chatting about Stokes: Quote He’s another one that’s on the radar. I like what he brings, I like the qualities he has got. Hopefully we can have a chat with him and we’ll take it from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Between Martindale’s dealings and the Dykes money we must be bloody loaded. Not sure why we’ve picked up a LB as between ATS and McMillan, and Brown, at a push, we’re more than sorted. Certainly needed a striker and Lars’ record looks okay. Not sure about Stokes at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah looks like it'll be next week before anything happens there. His agent prob contacted us about Stokes availability then got in touch with the press to get the story out for all to see, looking to see if any other clubs showed an interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
