YassinMoutaouakil Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Don't think he even assisted never mind scored a goal for Motherwell and perhaps those limitations were why he was released by Baraclough.He set up Higginbotham's worldly against Hibs ,probably the furthest up the pitch I've ever seen him though .

Stu Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Welcome aboard! Another central midfielder though...? Would have said that was the one position that didn't need strengthening. Oh well. He's played Europa League and featured regularly for the team that's been the second best in Scotland for two out the last three seasons, so I'm sure he will be decent in the Championship. According to Murray there will now be 4 or 5 more signings, and we still have no left back, left winger, right winger or sub goalie. People still convinced we are going to sign another out and out striker...? Yes. Absolutely. I'll even have one of your famous charity bets on it, although I can see the loser trying to wriggle out of it if it ends up being another Gow type with me trying to claim he's a striker and you trying to claim he's a midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People still convinced we are going to sign another out and out striker...? Yep. We can't and simply won't go with what we have. You even used a player the other day in the form of Sadlier to illustrate how many options we have in the final third and he's also gone. There's no chance we won't be signing another out and out centre forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellV1 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 If he's a midfielder who can actually be in midfield at some point during the game then it's an improvement on what we've had the last couple of seasons tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The only striker options we have are Thompson and at a push Gow. So yes, we will sign another forward. The fact that we were in for Clarkson proves that we are looking for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 What position won't be signing then... Left back, centre back, right winger, left winger and sub goalie. That's five positions that urgently need filled, what one you think will Murray abandon in favour of another forward..? I'm assuming Reilly will get a deal now Sadlier left incidentally.

ulysses Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I think we might sign 5 of our own guys and bring in a couple on loan (probably from Celtic, with McMullan and Tierney rumoured to be coming). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossC93 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 We might not need a centre half, it all depends on where IM plans on playing Naismith/Kelly/Goodwin, who are all capable of playing in that position alongside Jack Baird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he could always utilise the loan market to his advantage. I hear it's a thing nowadays. What makes you think we'll need a left back anyway? It looks like he may be going 3-5-2.

Lex Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 For what it's worth I think two of the signings we will make will be Carey and Barron. We will also sign an experienced goalie as a player/coach and Reilly. That will leave room for one more signing, and that signing would have to be someone that could play wide right surely?

I know he's not signing as it stands, but having him and Naismith as wing backs would probably get the best out of both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left winger & right winger positions could be covered by one versatile player likewise, the left back/centre back. I reckon Murray sees Goodwin as a centre half with these all these midfielders he is bringing in. I don't see a place for Reilly unless he is the planned striker, despite looking better in midfield last season. If we don't sign another striker then we're asking for trouble. It's an absolute must. Gow is not the answer for up front, his goals to games ratio shows that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulysses Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 If we don't sign a striker then that's just asking for trouble. Going into a season with a 36 year old striker (with recent injury problems) and a 32 year old attacking midfielder/forward (with injury problems) is just mental.

I said at the time we shouldn't have signed Gow. Instead of him we should have signed a striker that could have provided Thommo with some real competition. But we are clearly looking to run with a senior squad of around 19. Which will be about the same as our peers in this division, there's just not room in the squad or indeed budget for another out and out striker.
