Fifespud Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Are you Jim McIntyre? no doubt you think Martin Woods should still be in the starting 11 as well! 12 goals? really? he has scored 3 goals in his last 32 games. 18 of those games were in the Championship. Call me old fashioned - but I like my strikers to score goals! If we want to finish above Utd this season then we need someone better than Curran. Maybe 12 is a bit optimistic but this revisionism is beyond a joke. Moussa was amongst the worst ‘professional’ footballers I’ve ever witnessed. He had no attributes whatsoever. Shite in front of goal, terrible first touch, crap link up play, slow as a week in the jail and a fondness for getting needlessly booked barging into opponents all over the pitch. You may think Curran is shite but if you think he’s worse than Moussa then I’m sorry, you know f**k all about football. I really hope we sign 2 strikers better than Curran and that he is 4th choice, loaned out to Cowdenbeath by Xmas - I really do. But he’s signed for the next 2 seasons so let’s give the guy a fresh start. He’s an experienced pro, we’ve a fair few relatively inexperienced guys in the squad and his nouse could come in handy. I’m standing by my prediction though, we’ll speaking more highly of him at the end of the season than we are now. It was a pretty encouraging display today. A much better tempo about us and a simpler, more Scottish style. I’d give Ferrie a chance at being our number 1. I see no way back for Hamilton although I’d be delighted to be proved wrong. From what I saw today Marshall and Byrne will be big players for us, we need Nelson to stay fit, McDaid and Todd playing wide will be a threat with either Ness or Gowser in alongside Byrne. We’ve 4 half decent CH’s when fit too. Pre season optimism at its best!! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was an utter haddie, sticking away a few pens and seal-clubbing a shite Cowdenbeath side means f**k all. We need another couple of strikers and a 'keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, but at least Moussa showed some talent/moment of genius once every like 10 games. I can't think of a single Curran moment that I can applaud. As bad as Moussa, he's defo better than Curran. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if that had already been made known or not, but thought I'd post it anyway. Don't think Waddell was on trial with Arbroath yesterday he was simply asked by Rab D, Dick & Ian Campbell last week to train with his local team after his recent injury sustained at Greenock Morton (Great pity McPake & Nelms could not have reciprocated the same kind gesture after Waddell's 5years at DFC ) if Waddell was on trial he would have most certainly played some part yesterday against a very poor Hearts side albeit in a friendly. As we all know Waddell is now a free agent without any Development Fee hanging over him so maybe he's just getting his fitness up to put himself in the shop window again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression a development fee stayed until payed by the next professional club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to offer a deal, that is no worse than his current deal, before his contract reaches a certain stage, to get compensation. Not sure when the cut off is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it, you invested in their future because you wanted them to play for you. If you don't want them anymore that's the gamble you make. Thanks for explaining that though Edited June 30, 2019 by Crawford 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to use Moussa as a yardstick for the quality of our strikers then we truly are fucked. I am liking your optimism and I hope you right but I highly doubt we will get more than 6 goals from Curran this season. This "but he tries hard" shite won't be good enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Alan Nixon confirms the move to Sunderland is off as their takeover deal collapsed and the new DoF doesnt fancy him. All other interested parties (Hearts, Hibs, Portsmouth, Rangers) have either signed other targets, or ended interest due to keeping players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifespud Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Good luck Kerr, think you’ve been a wee bit unlucky and slightly hard done to, but if you’re good enough and want it badly enough you’ll make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Disappointed to see him go, contributed well, but by all accounts had a disastrous spell at Morton. Reckon we have better and could get better if need be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
