Nightmare Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Not really sure what’s to be gained from signing Barjonas. We’re pretty deep at CM already... unlike the majority of the rest of the areas in our squad. I suppose it’s possible McCall wants to move permanently to a 3-5-2 and needs more bodies for the middle, or perhaps Slater is on the way out (assuming him because I can’t see it being any of the others). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castolo was sum boi. All about Miranda. Top player. Should never have changed the names after PES1. Castello, Ximenez, etc were much better than the mis-spelled alternatives they introduced in (I think) PES3. Ridiculous decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just about to say the same, even with Wilson leaving that's 7 CMs on the books if we're not counting Harkins as a footballer forward these days. Of the 3 McCall hasn't signed or offered an extension to Slater would seem the most obvious one to leave. McCall certainly used 3-5-2 a fair bit in his 1st spell with us but he seemed to have settled on 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 with Ayr and for the few games before the break once Jones was fit again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardle looks done and Zanatta blows hot & cold, so our wide play is pretty much non-existent. It also means Williamson and Penrice can play further up and won’t have to do quite as much defending as they do with a back 4; which plays to their strengths (yes, we have defenders whose weaknesses are defending). We would need at least one more CB to make it work, though. Only have 3 currently and one of them is Sean McGinty. I think 3-5-2 fits our current personnel best, but no matter what formation we play right now, there are glaring deficiencies. Caldwell has left such a mess here it’s unreal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle4eva Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Could be completely wrong but with Mckinnon being our ball winner now in midfield maybe Barjonnas is another option to that role. If it turns out mckinnon isnt up to it or gets injured we would be back to square one, so to speak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudgeMudge Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I’d be very surprised if either Bannigan or Cole is getting dropped. Seems odd to bring in two new midfielders if one of them isn’t expected to start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 43 games for a near 21 year old? I'd prefer we added Sena back to the squad. Looks like he's out of contract in May unless he's re-signed recently. But McCall must see something in the lad so hopefully it works out for him and the Jags. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelJag Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Not enthralled with signing Barjonas. Its a position where we don't need any more bodies and going on his reviews from Raith fans he's a half arsed charlatan. But, one bad loan spell does not make a career. He might have had a kick up the arse and in his interview on Jagzone he seemed enthusiastic to join. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IR1970 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 McCall explects him to challenge for 1 of 3 places in midfield....i would expect players to move on....slater a possible....banzo..McKinnon..cole..gordon and now barjonas all challenging for those 3 places can't be a bad thing.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 If it means that we don't have to stick with someone because "well, who else would you play?" reasons, then great. If a player isn't performing or is low on confidence, we should always be in a position where we can take him out of the team and play someone else. You hear that Joe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
