Reggie Perrin Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Liam Craig signing would be a sign of the Boards intent - more seasons of mediocrity I will be amazed if we sign anyone who is a regular starter in the Premier league ( or whatever it’s called this week). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also gives you a lot of versatility. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 *third best after Shankland and Dobbie thenWhy? Because any player that drops down from the Premiership and is a recognised name must be a stand out in this league. I can think of plenty of midfielders that are better than him at this level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Aye, but how many of them play for Falkirk? And that's the issue, we'd have to be Claude Anelka levels of shite to recruit worse than last time. Problem is I doubt we can recruit well enough to get above teams who will be looki g to improve as well. I’m not saying he’d not be a good signing. I’m questioning the fact that EdiBairn claims he’d be one of the top players in the league but it’s apparent going by his form on here he talks a lot of shite. Or he’s the greatest WUM to exist on P&B. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGPar Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Liam Craig is a regular pick for an established, well-run Premier League club who are light years ahead of us both on and off the pitch. There is zero chance of him coming here. File under Alston, Burke, Yorke etc. Folk (well, one complete clown in particular) are posting any drivel and it's discussed as gospel, or like there is at least a chance of it happening. I'll be happy (and surprised) if a club in our dire state can attract a couple of players from the likes of Raith Rovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig was rightfully hounded from our club due to his lack of being able to pass a ball 3 or 4 yards to a player in his own team, he had a decent set play in him but when our team was built around fast ball play, Craig was out his depth He of course rebuilt his career twice at St Johnstone, his Hibs career is very much Falkirk like in that short flashes. It's not gonna happen this season in a return but he obviously needs a certain style of play for him to fit, that said our current crop of midfielders and the standard in this league would see him as top player in this league but the standard of wow players this season is at an all time low, where the player of the year will be Shankland, coz he scored goals....very much how they hand out awards in the seaside leagues, top goalscorer....poty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Anymore ITK signing news?The Gary Harkins thing has the feel of a defining move of the window. If its true us and Partick are in for him its going to be a bit of a shiter for whoever misses out. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Davidson are destroyers who simply win the ball/stop the opposition, before giving the ball to better players. In other words, I doubt he's stand out at this level. He's better than Paton, but both looked passable as top half players in our midfield, so I think it's more the system than outright ability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a great signing back in the day and was sold for 250,000 which saved us from an administration event. He is still capable of being unplayable on his day but those days seem fewer and fewer as time passes. He’ll probably win whoever gets him two games by virtue of a stellar performance but the rest of the games will be like playing with 10 men... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more bothered the potential for the tone being set in terms of whether Ray has identified and will get his first picks or whether we face a succession of blowouts followed by some more dross pitching up. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting point, he could certainly be sign as a 'marquee signing' by sections of either support which may help other new signings bed in if things went well, even in the short term with GGGH. On that point I'd be okay with him returning to Firhill. He certainly has the potential to create chances for teams struggling on that front. f**k it, bring him home Heed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
