Chubbychops Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Airdrie fan saying they are signing Mochrie. Talented boy but personally thought he didn't offer much unless the ball was laid at his feet. I'm happy enough to miss out on that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, genuinely not sour grapes as would have been fine with us signing him but not fussed in the slightest to "lose out" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, his off the ball intelligence and know how was pretty much non existent, he'd dropped out the team by the end of our title winning season, he's barely started for United last season. I don't see him as a player who improves us tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we signed him, I'd be happy with it, I think we know he can play well. He's had a full season away from us playing for the league winners, popping up with some important goals and collecting a league winners medal. That being said, if he pops up elsewhere in the league I wouldn't go into a game prior to playing them thinking "oh no, what are we going to do about Chris Mochrie". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I'd rather have mochrie than have no-one, there would be times in the season chasing a goal when bringing him on would help. Would I have him ahead of Moffat/summers/mahon or whatever the next group of loanees have to offer, not so sure and I certainly wouldn't want him ahead of someone who can come in and at least be a potential starter most weeks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
par-adise Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Agree with most of the above on Mochrie. Technically very good and definitely has potential so would be a decent signing, but doesn't do enough off the ball for me and so won't lose any sleep if he goes to Airdrie. Actually think that could be a good fit for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldReekie Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) I'd imagine the negotiations come down to whether he's going to be a starter at respective teams. If we can get Wotherspoon in, I'm not convinced he's a starter every week until injuries kick in (and they have already started). But he's a definite upgrade on McCann and MOH, and Summers and Moffat from last season (although probably being slightly harsh on Moffat there). Ideally we'd bring in stronger but in terms of year on year improvement in squad, I'd see Mochrie as progress in the right direction.

From what I hear You are going to push the boat out for Wotherspoon making him by far the highest earner at the club. Have to say He didnt do much for us last season, no goals or assist and was injured most of the time. Good layer back in the day thou Class player in his day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldReekie Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Would be absolutely crazy for club to do that and it would be contrary to everything they've done since taking club over. Don't buy it. He'll certainly be one of the higher earners, reflecting his experience, but no way they're bursting the bank for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admittedly didn't watch much of him for Dundee United, but he did play a v good cross for the winner against Ayr. 42 minutes ago, AuldReekie said: I'd imagine the negotiations come down to whether he's going to be a starter at respective teams.

He didn't look any better than McCann at league 1 level, what makes him definitely a better player now? Likewise Sommers and Moffat, if we'd had them when we were in League 1 and winning allot more games would they not look allot better? 1 hour ago, par-adise said: Agree with most of the above on Mochrie.

All that being said I'd agree with this, my criticism of Mochrie is primarily of him playing in our system which I don't beleive for a second was the best fit for him. For his own career I think he'd be far better going to Airdrie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Wotherspoon would 100% be a starter and I'd expect him to be one of the highest earners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well over Par Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) We will certainly not be pushing the boat out for anyone. owners have made that perfectly clear I don't expect many more in other than cover at left back and goalie and they will be young lads on buttons might get one or two loans in at the end of August that's our lot on the subject of mochrie - yes i'd have him - he can glide past folk like nobody else in our team and I don't care that he cant defend - not his job Edited July 1 by Well over Par 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpar Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Would be very happy with either Mochrie or Wotherspoon. if it’s true Mochrie is off to airdrie he’ll be a great signing for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
