NUMBER 7 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Tommy Robson released by Partick, worth bringing back or best left alone ? Liked him going forward but not the greatest defender 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I could never see the merits in Nelson. Thought Jakubiak was the better prospect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I could never see the merits in Nelson. Thought Jakubiak was the better prospect.I cant speak for his time at Dundee and it seems they dont rate him. I thought his work rate was fantastic, his hold up play especially back to goal and turning defenders was very good and his finishing had laterally been improving noticeably for us. He was open enough to speak about it most weeks, doing extra work on it etc and it was bearing fruit. Have to agree though that Jakubiak was quicker to find his shooting boots and a more dangerous striker. Would still have Nelson back without question though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked him going forward but not the greatest defender Just no. Vastly, vastly overrated to begin with, been extremely poor in an absolutely horrific Partick team and, provided we retain Dixon, not a priority position to fill. One day very soon we'll need to start to looking forward as a club instead of back to the Robsons, Nelsons, Jakubuakiaks, whoever, none of whom were anything special in the first place. Some day we'll break the habit of a lifetime and sign a player on the way up rather than regurgitate the same old dross on the way down. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Murray levels of pish. He runs about a lot though. Usually trying to collect his first touch right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noted via a few Dundee match threads of games I watched that he isnt universally liked up there [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Cant deny Robsons passion for the club was good at going forward but weak defensively. Andy Nelson once he got his first goal was doing better as his confidence was up not an out an out striker but if i was to compare him to a past player would probably say Carl Finnigan without the red cards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel pretty sorry for him. He never really impressed but hit a goal run in the top flight and, as is the norm at Dens, a large section of fans made him out to be Caballero-esque. He's had his off field problems and a few injury problems too so I wouldn't be against him getting one more season to try and turn things around. Big *however long* coming up for him at Dens. How's Todd been? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's Todd been? He looked like there might be something there, certainly looked to get on the ball and get forward which we lacked from midfield. Then he got injured. Never really got much of a run going. I quite like the look of him but probably splits the fanbase on whether or not hes what we need. Fairly sure he signed for 18 months so we will get a proper look at him come October hopefully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL-FFC Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Thing is its that time for any player thats got a club then happy days but for those that are free agents do they piss about with negotiations too long and price themselves out a move and risk not earning.anything till the january window. Lot of clubs have cut fringe players, high earners and evem their academies (just as well we dont have one or we would be screwed) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcastic Bairn Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Baptie was part time and it worked back then, with the better resources these days if its the right player we shouldn't discount it. Was the original speel on Sammon not that he was on a 1 year deal with an additional year if we went up, have I imagined that or did someone bugger that contract up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second year option must have been upto the player is the only thing i can think of, is he not local so any move away would have meant travel time, petrol money etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
