Rovers1992/1993 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Mckinnon has a defender agreed, but cannot announce his signing untill tuesday AM as he is contracted at current club untill Monday 8th. Makes me think its a player who had contract extended for play offs.. Also stating 2 more signings by end of the week the. Another 2 prior to the 22nd june, as ray wants all players in for first day of training. He has then accepted he will be looking for 2 season long loans. Davidson is away on two week trial to far east. Qatar area. Has 3 offers from scotland and further 4 from england.. No danger he be back at raith. New hom Strip will be revealed by end of next week, and go on sale the following week.. Strip has surprised me but i understnad the clubs logic. A good move.! Everything coming from the club just now is positive, signing part time players who can make step up to full time is great, megginson comes from aberdeen, (full time) mccord has been full time at dundee united as has petrie, We have some cracking youth prospects in our club which will be given a freah start under mckinnon and i fully expect bates mathews court to take their chance, court has had a cracking scoring season last season! I for one am glad mckinnon is in and is openly changing our football club again! Next level for us.. How do you know all of this? So we have 5 new players in the next fortnight coming in? Then on top of that, 2 season long loans? I didn't think we'd bring inf anywhere near that to be honest..Is this on top of Watson resigning? Or is he one of the five if he resigns?

Ro Sham Bo Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 How do you know all of this? So we have 5 new players in the next fortnight coming in? Then on top of that, 2 season long loans? I didn't think we'd bring inf anywhere near that to be honest.. Is this on top of Watson resigning? Or is he one of the five if he resigns? It does seem quite a lot. Maybe we are going for quantity over quality this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 It does seem quite a lot. Maybe we are going for quantity over quality this season. Well we've basically had 8 out (if you include McKay) and 3 in, another 5 doesn't seem that far off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 He also mentions to season long deals as well which means 7 coming in. As things stand we have 13 players signed up and a further 7 with the development squad. It's reasonable to think that we have to add to both squads before the season starts. You've assumed that all 7 will be for the Championship squad, which is probably not how it's going to pan out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true. A few youth players were introduced as new signings last summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1RonnieCoyle Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 the information i was given was given to me by a very reliable source, and one ive trusetd before. belive what you wish. as for guys saying its a biggers squad etc.. weve lost : elliot, moon, scott, fox, conroy, hill, nade, Mckay.. we thought that was big enuogh squad. yet it wasnt good enough. we are replacing these players, and replacing them with good championship quality players who were full time on loan to part time clubs, or were part time but have previously been full time. our current crop of players includes 7 who havent properly featured in the first team, hopefully Bates, mathews and 1 other will feature next season, in my earlier post i mentioned the club having high hopes for bates mathews and court, i got the 3rd name wrong it wasnt court it was callum Robertson.they are the 3 players mckinnon hopes push into the pre season first team suqad peoprely. that only leaves us right now with mcgurn cuthbert law (GKs) thomson mckeown barr bates Ford (DEF) callachan petrie mccord anderson campbell mathews (MId) Megginson stewart vaughan court robertson (fwd) we can rule out court campbell ford Law from being first team contenders this season. so currently we would have a first team squad of 15. Laidlaw i wouldnt be bothered about, as we have Law coming through the ranks if god for bid mcgurn and cuthbert were out. Watson is on holiday i belief, but is not the defender thats due to be unveild tomorrow. So mckinnon wanting another 5 players isnt un realistic. the New home strip will be blue and unveild this week and go on sale from middle of june. we will also have a white 3rd kit, due to us having 2 dark strips the spfl wouldnt allow us 2 dark strips due to colur clash. so we will have a white 3rd kit which wont go on sale this season, but this will replace the rememebr strip as away kit for season 16/17. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disbelieving any of what you've written but with the shirts, would it not be easier just to retire the RemembeR kit unless they think they can shift a few more units. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Why won't they sell a white away kit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1RonnieCoyle Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 The club have always stated that they would never release two strips at any one time due to being scorned previously. So they have now staggered the kits over 2 season deals, what this means is larger stock orders for 1 kit per pre season, allowing the club to buy in more stock meaning the fans will buy more of the 1 strip, This may change at some point but as of now the club will bring in a new blue home kit (2 seasons) And will bring more remember strips in. Small amount to top up what they allready have. The 3rd kit wont be unvield untill later on dueing pre season. Makes perfect business sense to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1RonnieCoyle Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Why won't they sell a white away kit? Because the white kit will bot be used as much this season but will end up being 2016/17 seasons away strip and will then go on sale, The club have openly admitted that they struggle every year to sell 2 kits at a time, so this is why they have staggered the new kits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) He also mentions to season long deals as well which means 7 coming in. Come to think about it, We have released Elliot, Nade and Conroy who were probably our 3 highest earners last season. We have brought in so far Petrie, McCord and Megginson who wont be on anywhere near what Nade and Conroy were on. Therefore we probably have enough left over to bring in an extra face from their wages alone. The 2 season loans I'd imagine will be a striker( Wighton will be my guess) and a winger( possibly a young winger from united or Aberdeen) So if Ronnie's right with us bringing in 5 permanent deals in the next fortnight, I'd imagine, it'll be Watson( if he resigns), the new CB tomorrow morning, 2 Strikers and someone that can cover at RB/RCB (Since Petrie can cover LB/LCB) Edited June 8, 2015 by Rovers1992/1993 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
