Just keep bringing on the weans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every Striker we've brought in over the last few seasons has started for us with Doolan relegated to the bench Baird had a few chances and was shite. Lyle Taylor was an exception. Doolan started the season Azeez joined and from memory Pogba was the same. Can't be arsed looking through game records at the moment but do correct me if I'm wrong. Nonsense. Do you think we're seeking someone better than Doolan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamJags Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Azeez played in every league game last season. Might have been second choice, but still got a fair amount of game time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcat1990 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I don't mean in the sense that we are actively seeking a shite back up. I just don't think we are in the fortunate enough position to sign strikers that will rival or better Doolan. I would imagine Doolan is first choice in Archies plans at present, something I am okay with, and therefore whoever we are looking to add will probably come from the "iffy down south ala Azeez and Pogba" or youth player looking for a chance pool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Brian Graham would score more goals than Azeez. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cilitbang Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Pretty gutted about Erwin, says in his interview that LM made more of an effort to get him. Hopefully Archie has a player or two above him on his striker wishlist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) The thread got me thinking - a player who came to mind was David Goodwillie; more of a physical player than Doolan, he'd surely be happier/we could offer him a better wage as a rotation player with us than he's on at Clyde, and he'd surely be guaranteed to get us a better goal return than a Pogba/Eccleston/Azeez type signing. There's, ah, wholly reasonable question marks over how palatable that'd be to the support of course...

Seems happy to be playing football outside the spotlight tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly certain "effort" relates to £££, there's very few footballers who'll say "yeah, everyone in for me was much of a muchness but this lot offered me 10% more so obviously I came here" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
