johnnydun Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I'm not getting too excited, I remember when we last paid a Scottish club 6 figures for their keeper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifespud Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Fucking great signing in my opinion. We’ve really struggled with goalies over the last 3 seasons. We can argue about Ledzgins as to whether he’s utter dog shite, just bad or merely average but nobody could describe him as good. As for Norwich, if they’re that upset they can have the lad back but I have liked what I’ve seen of young McCracken so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect him to play a blinder against us on the 12th. He’s nowhere near the keeper Hladky is. He’s also a fucking helmet with a bad attitude. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I’m gonna head through tonight as none of the Midlands League games are appealing to me, just wondering if they bother putting pies or anything on at Station Park? I know they did when the games were at Links Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be overly confident if it was just McCracken and Legzdin battling for No 1 jersey, or should I say less confident than I am now (assuming this deal gets over the line). This is exactly the case and I think McCracken always knew he was here to fight for the jersey. In my opinion a good keeper is paramount to staying in the league and if Carson is available we get him at all cost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toun Clock Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Harrison Sharp rumoured to be coming to us on loan. Any good? Sounds like you have a fair whack of goalies so mightn't have even seen him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent shot stopper, a case most of the season for him to be starting ahead of Legzdins. I think he would do well for you and I am hoping he comes back a well rounded keeper getting regular game time. He particularly needs to work on his distribution/kicking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he'll get a game ahead of Mehmet after they gave him a bumper contract in the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, could be a similar situation as us with Legzdins. I'd like to think we would be sending him out with some guarantees of game time at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye Mehmet will be number 1 and I think he'll do well, has started the season well. But we get the feeling McPake isn't sold on Max Little who he signed last season and we may be trying to loan him out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you have a fair whack of goalies so mightn't have even seen him. He's had brief spells as our first choice, he ended up being Mark McGhee's choice and continued under Bowyer until the first set of league fixtures were over. He's got the ability to be a good keeper and has shown that but is definitely still raw, a loan was really needed. Dunno if Dunfermline would've been my first pick with a supposedly anchored first choice in Mehmet, but hopefully he'll get the chance he deserves if he ends up with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 3 hours ago, DensParkNumber1 said: When a better keeper is available for a steal I don't see why we don't take it McCracken has looked OK but seems to suffer from same issues of being routed to goal line A 6 figure sum is hardly a steal. We'd have paid him off in 2 weeks had he not found a club. Similar to the Gallagher to United deal though, works out well for everyone. He's still a good goalkeeper and has a lot to offer at this level, we get money and a high earner off the wage bill for a player that was never going to kick a ball for us again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the Gallagher to United deal being announced as a 6 figure fee, there's nothing to suggest that Burns is accurate in his reporting these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Win win for everyone? St Mirren get an unhappy player away. Dundee get a proven top flight performer. Carson gets to play against Rangers at Ibrox again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
