CallumPar Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Looks like a good signing. Can’t say I know much about him, but Ayr’s statement was nice to read and it sounds like it’s someone we’ve made a real effort to sign. It’s someone that the manager really wanted. Think he’s 6ft+ so hopefully adds a new dynamic to our midfield. Look forward to seeing how he gets on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMIP Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Dear Dunfermline peeps… Your mood isn’t going to improve much. What a bizarre signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Tremendous! This guy is going to fucking light up our midfield with needed experience and buzz. Great bit of business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember him looking reasonably competent for you but Ayr fans are very much suggesting otherwise... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay21 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 It really isn’t a good move , has the heart of a mouse , runs like he is running through treacle , 6ft can’t header a ball , think Ayr delighted to get him off wage bill as big earner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Is he left-footed and decent from set pieces? I’m sure he scored a free kick against us for Inverness in the 2-2 game at the end of of 2017/18. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he scored a free kick against us for Inverness in the 2-2 game at the end of of 2017/18. Left footed. Supposed to be decent from free kicks although we never saw that. Shite at corners as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Always the marker of a good signing when the team from whom you’ve just signed him are fucking elated to get rid of him. Welcome, Joseph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubbychops Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Sounds like an absolute shitey signing going by Ayr fans, but sure there must be something there, as he's previously played at a higher level most of his career. In the past we have signed players that most thought looked good signings and they have ended up flops. Maybe we are going down the ICT route of polishing turds now. I hope so anyway.

There was always a suggestion he arrived at Ayr with some kind of injury problem, which might be why he ended up at Ayr in the first place (if you look round the table and can’t tell who the sucker is….). Far too slow for the Championship. Had the very odd decent game when we tried park the bus tactics and he just sat in front of the back 4, but as soon as we came up against a team that could move the ball around reasonably quick, he was lost. Maybe he’ll come back to haunt us, but I really struggle to see how he’ll suddenly find the yard of pace that was missing throughout his 18 months at Ayr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 “we are a bit short of lefties on that left hand side. “That’s a very typical Yogi quote it seems. Before he came here, I had no idea he was so obsessed with left footed players.“he has a habit of passing it to his own teammates.”That’s another bizarre quote from Yogi. I mean, should that not be a given for literally any footballer - particularly a midfielder?Hopefully the guy does well for us and ends up being that missing piece in midfield. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoo61 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 There is very very few players of quality in this league, especially in the bottom half of it. Players doing side ways steps aren't going to make a difference but im sure he will slot in and fill a gap. Its depth not improvement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 He's probably looking at signing Chalmers to get the best out of Dorrans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forzapars Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Find it funny to read Ayr fans saying he is both not good with his head and not good at free kicks. His two goals for Ayr this season include a header (blame lack of good footage if this is indeed wrong), and a free kick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
