Lee Cox, formerly of ICT and Plymouth. That's one of the three - now we just need that tactical shift. I'll take the admission of error as implicit We have enough cox on the park as it is.

Coventry Saint Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 1 hour ago, Stu said: We have enough cox on the park as it is. True enough. I hope he makes the grade: DMs seem to be rarer than trophies with Morton's name on at the moment. Probably something to do with young players all wanting to do the glamorous stuff. Based on nothing other than his wiki page, his career seems to have tailed off since a shoulder injury three years ago. He's young enough yet, though. I'm just relieved that, whether he signs or not, it seems Rae is aware of our main problem and is trying to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 If we were to actually loan out a defender I'd rather see Jack Baird go out and get 30-35 games under his belt and build a bit of confidence up. Decent prospect who has been thrown in at the deep end in the last 12 months or so, now that we have decent options at the back we should let him go and play football where there won't be as much pressure on him.

Stu Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 PDE sports journalist on Twitter: Craig Ritchie @CraigWRitchie 1h1 hour ago Understand that St Mirren won't be following up their interest in the trialist that featured against Rangers U20s last night. Also, reports in one paper today that ex Falkirk rightback Kieran Duffy is training with us, which I think was mentioned on the forums at the end of last season.

Genuine question (sorry if I've missed a joke). I guess Irvine could go RB and Stewart in at LB if needed, without anyone else coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Looks like Dundee won't be in again for Mallan. Our valuation (200k apparently) is much higher than what they're willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we sell even for half that when we know we can get much more at the end of his contract, or he'll sign another one with us. I just hope there isn't a last minute bid we can't refuse then we don't have the time to replace him, which has been mentioned before is pretty impossible anyway unless we bring back Dorman.

Mallan (20) scored 14 goals as a midfielder in one of the shittiest teams to ever wear the stripes and he has still another 2 years on his contract. £200,000 fair? You have got to be joking.

Firstly, Stewart played in midfield for us. Secondly, he was twice nominated for PotY in the top flight. Thirdly, he assisted pretty much 90% of our goals. The comparison is a shite one regardless of the point you're getting at and the value of that opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallan is a better prospect than John McGinn was at the same age. Dundee's offer was farcical. In your dreams will Mallan ever end up at Dundee. He will end up at a far more successful club than Stewart ever will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
