Waspie Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Don't recall seeing much of Burt but obviously a player who has been highly rated at youth level and has some experience of this league. As such, worth a shot. Welcome aboard Liam. With Burt and Zanetta we now have a bit more depth in midfield and attack. If we could add a centre-half too then we'd be looking a good bit stronger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldCrabbitWasp Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Anyone know what the latest is with the youth set up? Have we totally disbanded the programme? I know we didn't get many regular starters from it but I would have thought as a community team it was a must to try and 'grow your own' . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Burt and Zanatta are decent signings and give the squad more depth, but I don't think they are any better than we have; although Zanatta may prove me wrong if played through the middle. The glaring gap in the squad for me remains goal threat and options up front. That will be mitigated if the aforementioned Dario, Hastie and wee Kev (especially) get among the goals. ETA With my happier hat on, best of luck to Liam and Dario in the Wasps' colours. Always good to see talented youngsters from the top clubs stutting their stuff at the Indodrill. Burt in particular will surely learn from playing beside quality like Robbo, Flanny and Stevie H. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 We’ve signed Callum Smith on loan for the season, thoughts?I'd rather we had signed him than Zanatta. Better played centrally than on the wing. Has pace and a good attitude. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KierenAAFC Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I don’t know if I’d rather Smith than Zanatta, hard to say without seeing Dario in an Alloa shirt yet. However, I don’t think we saw the Smith that Dunfermline fans hyped so much very often. He worked tirelessly and did a decent job, no question about that. I just didn’t see anything that special that would think he could do damage in the Championship. Should be good at Arbroath though - regular starts and a full season at the club would probably bring the best out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Smith is average (in terms of quality, not effort) in our side and probably will be at Arbroath too whereas Zanatta looked average in a Hearts side last year where he scored. So I'm much more excited to see Zanatta in an Alloa strip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwedge77 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 It was 20 years ago this corresponding Saturday afternoon that the biggest shafting was dished out at the recs to a full time Stirling Albion team. Title favourites they were. 7-0 unforgettable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm much more excited to see Zanatta in an Alloa strip.You might be right. Several Raith fans I have spoken to and who saw a lot of Dario last year would disagree I think. Personally I don't think there's a lot between the two, but Smith looks more effective centrally and that's where I think we were (are) short. Wide we have Hastie, Kev, Flanny and Brown, and now Dario.As I've touched on before I think Zanatta may do well for us through the middle; a position I can see Hastie being effective too. Both are strong and have pace, so different options to Spence and Trouten.I do think Smith has a lot of potential. I thought he started slowly with us last year, but gradually improved when played more in the middle. He also lookef to me like he knew where the goal was. Not sure how he'll do at Arbroath. They have several attacking options so he MAY not get a lot of starts, especially initially. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard we're going to use him as a striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldCrabbitWasp Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Nearly at the end of the transfer window. Anyone got any gossip or hear say on a potential centre half? We are still light in that area and one injury would be a major concern. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
