renton Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 So, a squad of 22 players. Well, Locke will hace competition, right enough. I'm guessing Court and Bates will end up on loan though. We're actually spoilt for choice, it's unbelievable, but McKinnon proved last year the necessity of a bigger squad depth in challenging for the right side of the table (assuming all our signings aren't complete diddies). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregor147 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Based on what I saw from him at Dundee United, Skacel will be brilliant against Hibs and a fucking waste of space against everyone else. I guarantee he'll score against us several times, because that's how these things work. The new Christian Nade then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id be happy if he sliced a shot on goal and it cracked Ray right in his shiny Dome!! Based on the shooting ability he displayed at Dundee United, I would say that scenario is very likely to come true 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only recall him being relentlessly awful and slower than a week in jail. Mind that was almost four years ago so he may have developed since then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played well in a game at Easter Road, where he had a goal disallowed wrongly. At least, I think so. Although my mind might be playing tricks on me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked the United site and looks like Skacel came on for the last half hour, had a goal disallowed and also hit the bar. Only game he played against Hibs for us and the only one we lost to them that season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Worrying for Raith that they've blown the modest fee they received for Toshney already and still had to go cap in hand to local patrons to fund the signing of a guy who really should have retired at least four years ago. On the plus side, Locke gets to work with a Hearts legend so not all bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Yep. Really worried we received a modest fee, yet still went on to sign 6 players since he left (4 of which without external investment). Absolutely terrified I am.

Your budget IS boosted by external funding, one of the many ways we "cheated" in the past. It caught up with us eventually.

D.A.F.C Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Two good signings I don't know the ins and outs of the finances but it seems like a couple of local businessmen have funded them. Does the call to back the team mean they are in financial trouble? Just because we did, or masterton did, doesn't mean they in trouble. Lets not forget that not too long ago we were supposedly playing our last ever game at Starks. Some good games ahead next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
