Mon eh Ton Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Two good signings and hopefully the first of several extensions to be announced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morton Supporter Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Morton sign someone called Jordan Davies on a pre-contract, a forward who’s scored 15 goals in 20-something Welsh Premier League games. Obviously know nothing about him but, I think, Dougie’s first foray outside of Scotland for a signing so interesting to see what he’s like in time and if we can expect any further signings from outside Scotland in due course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoon Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Difficult to tell with that league given Declan McManus looks like Mbappe in it, but could be a decent pickup. Really emcouraging to get some business done that early, quite unlike us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 If we can get a bit-part player like Boyd off the books in the summer then I'd be content with that business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if as is widely agreed on the Morton Forum, one of Dougie’s top attributes is recruiting and improving previously overlooked players, why is this one being viewed any differently? I’m optimistic this will be another such case in point. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was it is difficult to read much into his scoring record as it relates to this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferguson Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 As long as we hold onto Muirhead, Oakley and Crawford we can afford gambles like this. Guy clearly knows where the net is so there's not much to lose by slotting him into a rotation of players that have been doing the business for the last couple seasons. 2 year deal shows a lot of faith at this level as well. All round not bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alibi Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I'd like to see extensions offered to Oakley, Muirhead and Crawford. Hearing that Strapp might actually be staying till the end of the season - hope so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferguson Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Tyler French confirmed to be staying for the rest of the season. Took him a long time to get up to speed but he's been solid enough these last few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 French is still clearly the weakest link in the team and an upgrade would be nice, but you also can't complain too much about a defence which has only conceded 5 in our last 10 games. When Baird's fit again I'd rather see O'Connor at right back than French but you can see the argument for continuity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colkitto Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Good news if French is staying. I actually thought he had a good game against Partick last week. Hes a quality player trying to gain match fitness after being out with injury. I have a feeling he will become a very important player for us in the weeks and months ahead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mon eh Ton Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 French would've been difficult to replace if he left. He hasn't been that great so far, but there's hardly an abundance of good championship right backs looking for a game. Hopefully he gets back up to full fitness soon. New guy looks interesting. Scoring goals for TNS or Connahs Quay doesn't seem that difficult, but he seems to have done quite well on loan at worse sides in that league too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 If I was offered keeping Strapp and Wilson as our only January business at the start of the window, I'd have taken it. If we find someone else to come in who's an upgrade to the starting XI then brilliant, but there's nothing urgently needing addressed now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colkitto Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 If we can get one of our many wide players out on loan to enable us to bring in another striker that would be ideal. If that didn't happen then fine we still have options up front in what is now a very strong squad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You (collectively) wanted him punted back to The Famous just a month ago, back when your 'eight new signings in January' masterplan was about to kick in. So I'd rather have King tasked with a more important and worthwhile responsibility every Saturday. Spoiler Spoiler You can have Steven Boyd instead though.
