Strange one if true… Only thing I think he brings( and I’m probably wrong) is he is fast and direct which is something Murray has said he wants 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not his fault he wasn’t ready for the championship and pressure of being our number 9 Edited June 6, 2023 by Been going too long 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange one if true… If it is true then surely someone is out the door? Because he plays ST/LW and we have Ross/Easton/Mullin who can all play left and Hamilton/Gullan/Vaughan who can all play ST 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a decent part of Corr deciding on Raith, seeing another CB being successful due to coaching and opportunities! If Corr’s as good as Connor was, an older head beside him and we could become Center Half University. It also made clear how much the consistent playing time is an immense factor in development of a player with sufficient base skills, but the level of that play is also important. Good luck, Conner! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He presents as a better prospect for some other team, as he has shown he can do things when healthy and now he’s hopefully fixed, so perhaps worth a punt. Ross doesn’t have that same history. If Easton didn’t have history with IM, I’d suggest a bottom six Premiership team might be willing to have a punt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange one if true… Yeah, I heard the same, along with a goalkeeper (won’t say the name as I know some people like the surprise of a new signing being announced). Definitely would suggest there is an outgoing. Ross or Gullan would be the obvious options, probably Ross most likely. It’s a hard one, he was injured most of last season and looked a million miles off it when he did play but there is very obviously a player in there, would like to see how he get on after a full pre season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spot on Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I don’t think Smith is a surprise signing as he is highly thought of. But more the position, and agree if he comes in I’d expect one of the signed players to maybe going out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the manager and potter know we need CHs more than another attacker or unless someone moves on as suggested because we can’t start the league cup campaign with Masson and Corr as the pairing…. Hopefully the GK you’ve heard is someone good and exciting if true 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the GK you’ve heard is someone good and exciting if true They definitely do, just because they haven’t signed a centre back yet, doesn’t mean they haven’t tried, they just haven’t been able to get one over the line for any number of reasons. Sometimes it’s the way things work with signings, Murray will know he needs two centre backs and he obviously wants an attacker too (as well as other positions). But players don’t always join in chronological order of their level of need. Just because Murray needs centre backs doesn’t mean if he has the opportunity to sign an attacker he wants (Smith) that he has to hit pause on that until he has his defenders in, otherwise he is missing out on players unnecessarily. As long as the right level of budget is reserved for two defenders, it doesn’t really matter what order they arrive in, as long as they are here in the next 5 weeks for the League Cup. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to our ortho / surgical expert there for that in depth analysis and understanding of the complex injury histories of some of our players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover1990 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Just because Smith is incoming doesn’t mean one is out. We need a squad that can stay healthy all season with options from the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Murray likes gullan and Ross has never really featured for him and plays in a position we have a few players in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Dont know what the finacial implications would be with Ross given the sell on fee to Aberdeen, but 50% of nowt is nowt, or Gullan how much did we pay for him, Is it feasable that if anyone is going, it could be Vaughan ............... to Falkirk -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll also be a big earner too. If Smith has signed then he can easily slot into that LW role. Competition for places isn’t a bad thing either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we're a league too low now to make that happen I feel. The opportunity for FT football and being in his home city could be a draw. Rovers have so many options in the midfield areas. Interesting to see if all are retained or one/more released. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
