At this time of the year it's not great. Yeah. Can’t disagree, was complaining about it earlier in the week/last week. Functionality is awful. They seem to have launched a ‘work in progress’ and the progress is horrendously slow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s always going to be the ‘official’ line until/unless he actually signs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 The boy is probably 5 yards away getting photoed with the scarf and telling a reporter how big the club is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 My only recollection of him commenting on a player not with us was Agyeman and we never signed him so... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnyPar Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 More I think about it the more obvious it is that there's something to it and McPake is just playing dumb. Why on earth would David Wotherspoon take in Dunfermline Vs Annan on a Tuesday night unless he was in talks with the club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toun Clock Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I don’t see what McPake or us get out of it by saying what he said. If it’s almost a done deal just say “good player or something like that”. If you basically say there’s nothing there then it might alert someone else to tempt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is a ploy(which isn't confirmed) then I guess the angle is aimed at telling the player/agent that we aren't completely desperate to sign them and if you drop the demand for a private parking space and a gold painted locker then we may accept you. It's also a way of asking journalists to not make targets public before you've given the get go. As it is, mcpake doesn't do any negotiating, he only makes recommendations and therefore any talk from him over signings needs a bigger pinch of salt than normal IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also fingers crossed the news on Matty isn't too bad I’m hoping we announce someone today. Even if it’s McGowan - although, I believe the board aren’t keen on approving that one. Really want Matty to be ok. Another 2 weeks until the league campaign starts and if he can be fit for that, that would be excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toun Clock Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 It's a weird one with McGowan. On one hand I think he done quite well in pre-season, and probably merited a deal. Yet, the board not signing it off maybe because they think we could do something better for the club is pleasing to hear. I'd personally give Gowser the deal, I think he'd feature, can take control of games and dictate play a bit, he's streetwise and probably has a knack of winning fouls when trying to kill a game off. We've quite a young squad, that kinda thing will be welcome in the Championship. Cmon Friday, give us three wins, a Wotherspoon signing, a McGowan signing and a positive Matty Todd injury update. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
