Murray is apparently good mates with the lads agent, he tried to get him in loan when at Airdrie but covid out paid to it, and dick managed to get him last season, with Raith allegedly having spunked there budget, you would be better talking to Arbroath fans, I have got no clue if he is any good or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just meaning if we brought him in it would be under contract and not a loan as he hasn't been with West Ham for 2 years. If we bring him in I'd be surprised given that we have plenty coverage in the forward spots. Unless Murray has decided to move on from his midfield fetish and moved on to forwards 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Murray has decided to move on from his midfield fetish and moved on to forwards I suppose, late last season looking through his options and there only being William Akio would be enough to make him think twice about how many forwards he needs... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 While we have a lot of attackers, I'd still class Hamilton as our only proper centre forward. Gullan and Vaughan can play there at a push, but with limited success based on last season. If the budget is there I wouldn't be against signing a back up, although was Adarkwa not quite underwhelming in his spell at Arbroath? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I’m pretty sure it’s a wind up. The ‘West Ham striker on loan’ is Airdrie’s Gary Glen. However, I certainly wouldn’t be against it. We are one Jack Hamilton injury away from potentially having the same issues as last season, he is our only out and out number 9 in the squad. Obviously, our style of play may change slightly so that we can get away more with Gullan or Vaughan up there but I do think the squad could do with a second number 9. Admittedly it’s not a top priority and probably dependant on if there’s anything left in the budget after signing 2 centre backs, a left back and a centre midfielder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Fernández Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) I'm pretty sure Ian Murray will find a way to fit in your many midfielders into your starting 11 so I wouldn't be surprised at some point to see Callum Smith at left back and Scott McGill at centre back. I hope you're able to experience 'Murrayball' when he chucks on 6 strikers as it's pretty entertaining. I remember a game years ago I think we played Partick Thistle in the league Cup and we played a formation that had Nat Wedderburn as our only midfielder in a midfield one so gone are the days of Ian Murray playing teams with no midfield. If you are going to sign another midfielder I'm pretty sure Jamie Barjonas would be a shout with his connections to Potter. I don't think he has a club yet and I'm pretty sure he'll be linked with Raith. Edited June 17, 2023 by David Fernández 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barjonas wouldn’t get in our midfield ahead of brown, Stanton, matthews , McGill and he prefers a number 10 role where we have vaughan, easton, Stanton , Ross , and even McGill . Would be a strange signing if true Edited June 17, 2023 by Been going too long 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d like to think nobody will believe that now given we’ve lost Spencer and Lang to a team in the division below and released MacDonald due to him not agreeing to a reduced salary but probably not! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brashy's Boots Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 This is more like it - completely unsubstantiated claim full of factual inaccuracies by a random supporter of a wee club that somebody's pal told him our manager is pals with someone else and we're getting this boy in.

RRFC_Liam Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I’ve seen a few teams this year who has Joma as there kit supplier ie Airdrie and Morton and both have got 3rd kits maybe we might go down that route and that could bring in extra income to the club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 When was the last time we had a third kit? I know we registered the Munich-esque one a few years back, and I think had a raffle to win match-worn versions... and then never wore it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
