knee jerk reaction Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 44 minutes ago, Trump said: I don't know whether Dundee released him or he chose to leave of his own accord. It was quite clear McGovern was a stand out even back then and Ross County would have liked to have kept him. On a serious note, McKee and this guy on two year deals seems risky if we are looking to get promoted next year. As risky as not having a back up keeper or someone who can push Thompson? McKee has done well and deserved a contract. Going by this forum we should only sign top quality players who will get us up, every signing should get the fans excited, the player can never have had an injury, the player should be experienced but not over the hill, can only have played at the top level with bigger teams than us as we should never sign anyone who has even been in Dumbarton never mind played for them. P.s any player who fill the above and signs for us will then be written off for any number of other reasons before playing for us!! P.s any player who is even close to the above specifications and would be slaughtered if signing for us will, if signing for any other team be a reason for much wailing and gnashing of teeth by our support and used to crucify the board and Houston! Can we no just give the team the benefit of the doubt and wait and see how comes in and who goes?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 He's a backup goalie so will be cheap and it won't really matter what league we're in as he'll only bewarming the bench. Joe mckee would be a decent squad player in the top flight too. I'm more worried about him keeping fit for 2 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Bloody ridiculous; signing a 'keeper as back-up who's never played in Europe or the EPL! Houston should resign immediately!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally we would be able to engineer a way to move Kidd on. Nothing against the guy and he's a tidy enough footballer but I don't think either him or Muirhead are the answer at RB. We obviously need a LB too to rival Gallagher. Anybody know anything about Peter Grant's wee brother who's been released by Norwich? Wonder if he's left footed and could do a job? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Houstie & McDonagh (especially) have been a fan of Sam Stanton for about 2 years so I'd expect him to sign on now that he's free from Hibs finally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muirhead showed in the playoffs he ain't good enough as a starting right back whilst kidd is simply shit.If Houston doesn't realise we need a quality rb then we're in real trouble. We've got at least 4 central midfielders signed up for next season and yet we could still see sibbald back for a year so I wouldn't think alrrady having 2 players that can play rb if necessary would stop him get getting another one in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that we need a proper RWB/RB in, i'm just sceptical based on previous recruitment drives. I think it's more likely he'll invest in an experienced left back & another centre half to replace McCracken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a total waste of a wage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent striker and a decent right mid. We need a LB full stop as Gallacher will be sold after the Early bird ST window closes. We have to sell a player each season to bridge the financial hole and he is the only player we will get anything for 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still like to see Gallacher in the first team for a good few games to see if he's all that. Started off well the last time and then had a couple of absolute mares before being dropped. At his age he should be a stick on every week if he's as good as some folk say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Stanton still has a year on his contract. I thought I read that he had been released. Ah well, unless it's a loan then, Houstie/McDonagh will need to wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have thought our sizeable prize money would cover some of that gap in the balance sheet. No one will pay 200k in Scotland for Sibbald or 300k down south so that is not an option. The prize money increase has merely narrowed the gap in the P&L. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if anyone will pay that up front for Gallacher either until hes proven himself in the first team.a bit more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
