Jan Vojáček Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I have just been informed by a relatively #ITK source that the defender we are set to sign will be Sam Wardrop on loan from Celtic. He was described to me as being like Ross McCrorie - a guy who plays like he's older than he is. Can play all across the back four or in defensive midfield, and captained them to the Youth Cup last year. If he's on a similar level to Lindsay and Joe Thomson then he should be a good addition. Assuming my top secret source has got his facts right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 A utility man. Fair enough, we've done pretty well with Celtic loanees in this division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need Davitt's head in the game and hopefully Frank Haggarty saves enough penalties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some faith in Magic Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Since you saved the Pars by taking Hutton I hope you do it again and it's Fraser Aird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Can't say I know much about him but he sounds like he'll be a handy player.I hadn't heard much about Thomson or Lindsay either and they were 2 of the best central midfielders I've seen turn out for us over the years. Pleasing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The floor is yours I have a 100% hit rate with players we've signed recently who went to school with my cousins, and a load of guys I used to play football with. I can only assume that our 6"6 25 goal striker didn't do either of that which, I'm afraid, leaves me stumped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I think Wardrop will do well for you guys. He played very well in last years youth cup final and by all accounts is quite a mature player for his age. Game time against men should help his development and his skill should help Dumbarton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijc Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Thanks again for the info, been a huge help in my wasted day but that won't be as wasted as your season ahead where you'll be lucky to get more than 15 points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
