Definitely would increase the sales by one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking below I think we need half a reserve side, Todd, McCann arguably first team reserves. In defence I think we are ok, need a first choice keeper, two midfielders and one forward maybe one more winger. Using the loan system for two or three of them. As said the reserves need more players so will probably see 10 more in altogether. Not all first team. Definitely light in central midfield considering SW is meant to be a coach. Don’t think any of this is outrageous but understand we will be limited and perhaps don’t want to offer lots of contracts. Weve been linked with Nesbitt, OFW and a few others. Would be great to get some more quality signings. A Stephen Bell type like Draper is a priority. Turner can’t be expected to run the midfield and win balls then drive forward. We played him deep last season and I’m not sure it helped his progression tbh.

King_Kozma Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hopefully Cardle doesn’t sign. Not cut out for even being a sub at this level. He’ll probably end up at Kelty Hearts which would suit him nicely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally 80% of our signings over the last decade haven’t been good enough; at least this one would be popular. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Axle Grease Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Main point for me is, we keep buying the Season Tickets and we've more chance of keeping on improving the squad for this coming season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 5 or 6 more signings?! You're absolutely at it with that. Edit: Unless you mean at least 4 on loan?Yes, I would imagine we will take advantage of the loan market and not have to pay much, if at all, wages for players that will be used as pretty much squad players or injury cover unless they perform extremely well. A decent goalkeeper for this level is the next priority. Černy, MacDonald, Fôn-Williams, Rogers. Would take any one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford said in one of his interviews that reserve football would be very difficult to run next season. Several clubs are just about completely binning their academies. Maybe have the odd bounce game but that will be about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardle did a decent job at a lower level. Condescending pish. Cardle is very much a legend to many people. He's a goal away from being in the club's top 10 all time goal scorers. Well over 200 games for the club across three divisions. Unsure why you're so down on him. He's done far more than Kozma ever did at East End. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) It hard to define what a legend is. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder and people have different things they look for in a player. For me, Cardle just went missing too often. I don't really buy into badge kissing types either, just not my kind of personality but I can see why many do love him. I adored Hamish French. The club has had better players over the years but for me, he was a loyal servant, a good person and a bloody good player for us. No ego about him and a quiet guy who consistently did his talking on the pitch. Edited July 15, 2020 by Chubbychops 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’d had that record for that fee and was called Ian Smith then he’d be considered a flop. Then got flogged to Liverpool where he’s regarded as one of their worst signings ever. Give me Cardle every day of the week and twice on a Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
