Raith_Rasta Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I assume he was referring to Toshney. I would be surprised if we signed another defender now. Was thinking that, but the experience part had me thinking somebody older. Maby Watson is, ta tas after all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Barr and Thomson are a year or two younger than Anderson is. Just checked. Barr has not long turned 28 and Thomson is 27. McCord and Stewart are both 26 and have plenty of games in the bank. I quite like the policy of signing younger players but I do have concerns as to whether the particular players we've signed so far are good enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whistle Blower Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I do have concerns as to whether the particular players we've signed so far are good enough. Depends what the target for the season is. Most of our 'good/great' players were cast off by a bigger club and had the hunger to get back to the top, I hope the current crop have that hunger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Starko Rover Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I quite like the new shirt, back to the dark blue but the white sleeves make it a little different from Dundee/Falkirk. No marquee signings but hopefully these lads have something to prove, let's see who else we get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIT THE CHANNEL Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Jesus Christ, the negativity in here is frightening. I am genuinely pleased at all of our signing so far. McKinnon is signing young boys with promise. They will have a desire to prove themselves and their is the chance they will get better. I for one am glad we are not signing the 'safe' options i.e. championship journeymen that will secure 7th spot with no chance of improvement. Seriously, when do the Rovers sign players that on paper get the penis twitching? I also like the top! P.S I am not a 'happy clapper' - i wanted Murray out at the end of 2013/14 season. But C'mon folks, where is the optimism. Young hungry team... that sounds better than fox etc! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm with you, pretty pleased with all the signings so far. Also pleased that our wage budget with definitely have a big chunk remaining to bring in a 40 goals a season striker before pre season starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Who would be a "marquee" signing in folks book? After the club described McKeown as an "exciting" signing last summer I don't much fancy finding out what their idea of a marquee signing would be. Ray doesn't actually say its a defender but 'part of the teams defensive unit', could be the defensive midfielder we are still needing McKinnon is in the paper today saying we are currently talking to a midfielder down in England and hope to tie the deal up next week. He also confirms Watson's deal is off the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 From the outside looking in, your signing are very decent. Especially McCord. Its the same every year. We always have a really good squad on paper. They always flatter to deceive though. Hopefully Rays different.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Who would be a "marquee" signing in folks book?Probably a forward. Someone like Scott McDonald. However, I'd like to see if Vaughan and Stewart's partnership can develop.Actually, that would be three short arses up front. More like John Sutton.

Cant see him turning that down to join us in the championship.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Toshney did well for us in the Premier, will be a good signing. IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinbugercowden Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Toshney did well for us in the Premier, will be a good signing. IMO. Thought he did ok for us when he played tailend of the season. Will do a good job for the Rovers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 He's much better at RB than he is a CH I reckon. Him and Bene were our two main CH's in our doomed SPL season and performed as well as they could but Toshney was the type of player that'd be man of the match for 85 minutes then flog a goal that'd cost you the game. At RB he was much better as he likes a wander and can attack relatively decently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be looking at it as his last crack at full-time football so will be determined to do well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
