RC55 FFC Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Ray also mentioned he's hoping for another 4 signings, 1 or 2 up top and some defensive cover. Said we were pretty covered in midfield obviously staying coy on the DKD box office bairns announcement.DKD is more of a forward anyway in my eyes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 15 confirmed and 4 to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 So that's basically a matchday squad and that's it? We're not going to be able to fill the bench on many occasions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BairnNecessity Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 It'll be 19 permanent signings and 4 loans surely. Really can't see us going into a season with just a squad of 19 players. Also not really looking good for Ciaran Dunne is it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have him hanging around if he's got no chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryDoug Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Denny Johnston on a month deal is a good piece of business after some of the two year deals that have been handed out. Hopefully he's fit enough to contribute in that month and he can stay on longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not going to be able to fill the bench on many occasions?Think Ray has quite rightly opted for quality over quantity.I don’t believe Ayr and Arbroath had big squads when winning the league in the last 2 years.Suspect Toshney will cover right back and centre half, we will get cover for Dixon, a striker and another winger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunne played a fair amount of reserve games at left back last season, wouldn't be a big wage surely for him for cover there and wide mid. Anyone confirm if he has had game time recently and what position ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have just got better and better and a class act. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A month deal means they can assess and get the f**k out of the situation if it goes south. I assume if the month goes well, it'll probably be a year after that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to one of the players who was with him at Morton last year. He said that the difference in DJ is night and day compared to how he looked with you guys. The signs appear to be promising. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really can't see us going into a season with just a squad of 19 players. Also not really looking good for Ciaran Dunne is it? Not sure how true it is but I had heard it was something to do with clubs not being able to agree a development fee with us. Sunderland keen but can't agree a fee. I know he's out of contract but apparently we're still due a development fee.. Apparently just keeping fit with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
