An outrageous thing to say about Sol Bamba! He found big Dorus playing for a Dutch amatuer team in a pre-season tour tae! Mixed bag we could say in terms of his signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Leishman signed woods did he not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I was referring to season 2005-06 tbh. He signed some good players the following season but we still went down. He was well past his best and should have stood down in 2006 tbh. Hindsight and all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one terrifying outlier is Mehmet if accurate. If that's anywhere near accurate it's nice to know we have about £110k worth of goalkeepers the most expensive one looks worse than the cheaper one. You have to think that I doubt the club could afford to bring in another goalkeeper on that sort of wedge and therefore anyone anywhere near the quality we need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OFW needed replaced in the summer. Grant identified this issue and then pursued to sign the worst goalkeeper I have ever seen as his replacement. The goalkeeping position has been an absolute disaster over the last 5 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 OFW needed replaced in the summer.

Mehmet is bad, don’t get me wrong. But those 2 were really abysmal. I’m probably forgetting others as well. We seem to really struggle with our keepers - maybe it’s a coaching issue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm being generous when to say in the last 5 years too. It clearly goes back much further than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 5 years about right. Murdoch was decent and last played in 2017, tho his later stages he was beginning to struggle playing through injury. Before him scully was decent at league 1. You then need to go back to about 2007 when Gallagher played if you don’t count the few months he was fit at start of 11/12. Strangely before him leaving 1st time round we never went long without a decent keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoo61 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I see Westie every now and again when I'm out and about locally. I cycled past him and told him I love him so...I think...he might come back into the fold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 From my lifetime, Westwater, De Vries, Stillie, McGregor, Gallacher & Murdoch were the only good to great keepers we had. Any more could be added? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Need a new goalie, left back, a winger and a centre fucking midfielder in rapid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Need about 3 centre mids. Honestly that team is fucking rancid. Having Dom in it is just putting a bowtie on a turd. You’d have to imagine Wighton is done with us now. Kennedy and Graham will probably return to their clubs as well. Yogi will definitely get leeway with making signings. You just have to hope he can get it right as his track record is rather iffy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Crawford was, mainly, brilliant in the transfer market. His signings were mostly really good, both in terms of quality and how they fit in to the team*. He would only sign a player if he could see how they would fit in to the team. Grant had no discernable signing policy, seemingly signing guys for numbers rather than a purpose. Cole and Jones are the two obvious examples. *He had a few poor signings, but no managers in history have had a 100% signing record.

Cardle is Magic Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Crawford was totally average. Scraping into the top 4 was no great achievement; our replacement being absolutely shite doesn’t change that fact. Again, some of our fans didn’t/don’t rate Dom Thomas. Just fucking look at our creative threat without him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
