Blame Me Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 7 hours ago, Reggie Perrin said: Don’t agree, should not be putting barriers in the way of people wanting to come to a game. Maybe hard to believe nowadays but not everyone is tech savvy. On Saturday the club didn't and my suggestion doesn't. All it might do is get cash paying fans to the stadium earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopeStreetWalker Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Been looking at premier leagues young players who are likely to go out on loan who could fill the McIvor cover issue. McIvor is the one player without a close one for one cover. During the season he will get injured, suspended so its a good pitch to make that the loanee will get their chance and if you throw in the promise 'if the games won we will give him a run' One player stands out Celtics Danial Cummings. 18, similar in style and can put the ball in the net. If you don't ask you don't get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbrbairn Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Whats the chance of a sneaky wee signing before the window shuts? Little or none? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I agree it will be loans we are more likely to get as looking at the list of free agents in Scotland makes for pretty grim reading overall: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scottish-championship/vertragslosespieler/wettbewerb/SC2 Hopefully the loans we go for will be more experienced-type players deemed surplus to requirements at their parent clubs rather than youngsters looking for their first/ second baptism of senior football. That should give us a bit more certainty they will be up to standard and reduce pressure to provide minutes if they are not. Two loans to provide cover at CF and CH (of similar quality to MacIver, Henderson and Donaldson) and banking the rest of the Celtic money for January seems sensible to me McGlynn has used the loan market brilliantly in the past so hopefully he can do the same again this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted last season that there were rumours of unhappy players in their dressing room. Looks like that could well be true. Stanton is rumoured to have asked for a move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlynn knows every penny is a prisoner this season but he signed Shanley. Perhaps he knows more about him than we do and thinks he can fill that role if required. McIver did not have his best game on Saturday perhaps due to the size of PT defence. Is this the type of situation Shanley would be suited to? Or am i just trying to find a use for Shanley!

I am to be convinced JMCG wants to bring players in, which I think is running a risk that if we got 4/5 injuries at once we will be very thin on the ground. We already have three out, two of which started most of last season. His call I guess and he has not got too many calls wrong squad wise so you need to trust him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t remember MAciver having many, if any, balls up to him in the air. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact Shanley didn’t come on until 84 minutes probably says a lot unfortunately. I think we definitely need a striker who can offer cover/competition to Maciver. It’s the one area of the squad where one injury could cause serious issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have three out, two of which started most of last season. His call I guess and he has not got too many calls wrong squad wise so you need to trust him. I’m actually with McGlynn on this. The manager has been very clever in being able to sign players who can fill more than one position and probably thinks he will be getting one or two back shortly anyway. I think he feels that having players that can’t even get a place on the bench breeds unhappiness and he is keen to avoid that. Also too many new faces could upset the happy balance in the dressing room already. We do have the loan option if absolutely needed but I would be holding out until Xmas to assess where we are before signing anyone else even though there is a small risk there….. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Im sure mcglynn wants to bring in players but I'm not convinced that after hopefully getting miller and others perhaps on longer deals that there will be any cash available to do so unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Been a lot of talk about which players deserves songs about them. Stunned that there's not really anything for Hendo. Multi position baller, 100%er and borderline Ultra. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Could McKenna not cover if MacIver was injured. I’m sure I read somewhere he has played up front before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
