The Moonster Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Yeah, that'd be a good point if that wasn't a rarity. So feel free to give that point another go and we'll forget this post happened. My point was I don't find the Sunday games all that exciting, which isn't a rarity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Saw the news about Tom McB on B&W Army. Very sorry to hear that, he always came across as a good guy. RIP Tom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 We're being linked with Gasparotto, well not quite linked, it's all quite 'nudge, nudge, wink wink I really know nothing' type stuff going on but regardless, what's he like as a player? Would he solve our desperate need for a commanding and composed CH that can also play football? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he solve our desperate need for a commanding and composed CH that can also play football? It's hard to say. At times he strolls through games in this league, other times he struggles. Shankland of St Mirren had him on toast on Saturday for example. I've no doubt the guy's got a bright future ahead of him so long as he keeps developing, but wether he's ready for Premiership football week-in, week-out I'm not so sure. I thought O'Dea was doing alright for you as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 We've not really got one great defender in the squad. McPake is probably still our best CH but he's been crocked for 6 months (And people obviously know his past) and we don't know how he'll come back and he's not exactly amazing. O'Dea has been fine. Cost us a few goals but in general he's solidified our defence. We play 3 at the back most weeks and Julen is another injury prone defender. Konrad has interest from League One down South and another unnamed top flight club - not that Hartley seems interested in keeping him. And our other CH Gadzhalov looks like he'll be getting punted too. So we probably need 1 or possibly even 2 CH's in dependent on of we can offload Meggatt or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonMan Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Would be a bit gutted if we lost Luca. Far from perfect yet as was alluded to above, but put in some very good performances this season and has been one of our better players. Might be a bit soon for him to make the jump to the top league though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a bit soon for him to make the jump to the top league though. To be fair, it's more than likely nothing. Although Duffy has played a part in us poaching signings from his club's before. He practically acted as Declan Gallagher's agent when they were both at Clyde and ensured he ended up at Dens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcintyre_gmfc Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Dundee would be a good move for Luca. The guy oozes class at the back, his only problem is being up against big powerful strikers, he struggled a bit against Nade a few weeks ago, but other than that, he's great. Good in the air, calm in possession and loves a tackle. Would love to keep a hold of him but really don't see it happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a bit soon for him to make the jump to the top league though. He did an interview a few weeks ago about hoping to go back to Rangers and fight for a first team place so i doubt we have any chance of retaining him. If Rangers release him, it might be a possibility, but I'm sure he will have loads of options. We will prob have Kilday and Oware as first choice centre halves next season.

Alibi Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) We're being linked with Gasparotto, well not quite linked, it's all quite 'nudge, nudge, wink wink I really know nothing' type stuff going on but regardless, what's he like as a player? Would he solve our desperate need for a commanding and composed CH that can also play football? Gasparotto is a good player and I reckon with better players round him he'd do well, but he's not the finished article. Might be better with another year in the Championship. If Therangers don't re-sign him, I would hope we'd try to keep him at Cappielow, but he will end up at a higher level sooner or later. I'd like to see us try to keep Denny Johnstone on too. I don't see him as being good enough for Birmingham but at our level he's excellent although with a tendency to disappear in some games. Scored some decent goals although to me he maybe doesn't think quickly enough to be a top striker at a higher level. Sometimes looks to me more like a midfielder frankly, but his value to the team makes him worth having around. Maybe another loan deal could be arranged.

How long does he have left on his contract at Birmingham? If they plan on loaning him out again then surely they'll look to a higher level rather than another season in the same league. If he's out of contract then I would take him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowshed118 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Tam O'Ware signs two year deal apparently 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colkitto Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Quite happy with the O'Ware signing. Wonder if he got a 2 year deal to keep him there? Maybe a 1 year offer from elsewhere? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmfc Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Maybe going down the route of offering 2 year deals more security might attract better players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonnitus Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Moore signed a lot more players, but anyway here's my take on the signings (obviously entirely subjective and difficult because different levels but anyway...) More or Less Acceptable Moore Signings: Marc Smyth David O'Brien Fred Stuart McCaffrey Peaso Archie Campbell Mark McLaughlin Willie Dyer Derek Gaston Martin Hardie Scott Taggart Kevin Rutkiewicz Joe McKee Dougie Imrie Not So Great Moore Signings: Jason Naismith Graeme Holmes Stewart Kean Kevin Kelbie Jonathan Toto Darren Young Derek Lyle Ross Forsyth Di Giacomo Andy Graham Andy Jackson Sean Fitzharris Darren McGeouch Kevin McCann Matt McGinley Derek Young Alan Combe Iain Flannigan Stephen Stirling Jordan Halsman David Graham Tony Wallace Craig Reid Kyle Wilkie David Hutton Colin McMenamin Jonathan Page Nico Caraux Kabba-Modou Cham Reece Hands Tomas Peciar Michal Habai Nacho Novo Jake Nicholson More or Less Acceptable Duffy Signings: Lee Kilday Conor Pepper Stef McCluskey Ricki Lamie Jon Scullion Dec McManus (loan) Ross Forbes Michael Tidser & Peaso returning Bobby Barr Denny Johnstone (loan) Luca (loan) Not So Great Duffy Signings: Michael Miller Sean Crighton Stefan Milojevic Andy Barrowman Jordan Allan Jamie McCluskey Grant Adam Ross Caldwell Romario Sabajo Alex Samuel (loan) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The nick of some of Moore's signings Whatever happened with O'Brien? I always thought he was a decent wee player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC he got injured (in that glorious night at Parkhead, I believe) and never fully recovered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
