Uncle Psychosis Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Thoughts on Conrad Balatoni? Was a trialist for us today. I'd happily take him back at Firhill. Was a standout in the championship, nevermind League 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Lanley Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Apparently Stanton is signing for Partick on loan and we're trying to get a player in return on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I don't think we've got anyone you'd want that we'd be willing to let go tbh. Read on twitter there Balatoni might be trying to win a deal with Killie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Be funny if it was Ryan Stevenson, but aye the only spare-ish players we have are Fraser, Wilson, or Scully, and I can't see any of them going so whilst our interest in Stanton is probably true, was rumoured before, I think it'll be a one-way deal. Looks like Balatoni's ideal of a new challenge has died on its arse and financial reality has hit home for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 'N Yellow Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Yeah, McDaid could be a possibility as well. Not exactly buzzing at the thought of signing him, although he looked good a couple of seasons ago in the top league. Booth and Cerny have both been decent as well after arriving from Hibs. Balatoni would have been one of the players who was told at the end of the season that the grass isn't always greener, seems like he's finding that out the hard way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) I don't get why people would take Balatoni back. Apart for a 3 month spell he was pretty poor in the Premiership. Lindsay and Hendry are just as good and are 4/5 years younger. I still love the guy though. Stanton would be a good signing I think. We badly need creative players and Stanton was impressive when Hibs went down but hasn't done much since. Booth and Cerny have worked out well for us though. No idea who Hibs would be getting in return. McDaid possibly but I'd only let him go if we were getting another wide/creative player in addition to Stanton from somewhere.

Red 'N Yellow Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Henrik Ojamma is a free agent, although he's apparently signing for Swindon. Would have taken him as I think he could play wide as well as up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an element of the James Craigen type "he's a nice guy" for wanting Balatoni to stay but the fact his best 3 months in the Premiership were the last 3 months tended to suggest something had finally clicked and he had formed a decent partnership with Frans. It's a bit of a boot in the baws to go from a year of mixing and matching the defence to finally having a settled back line only for us to go back to the lucky dip of who'll be the centre half pairing on any given weekend this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Sheridan Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 We definitely need a more consistent team selection this season, not just in defence, but all over the park. We can't bring these guys in and then chop and change without giving them time to gel together and get used to how each other play. Look at the interplay between Doolan and Erskine when he was with us. They could read and knew each other's game. That won't happen if Archie is chopping and changing all the time. He needs to find his best eleven and stick with it as much as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hibs can have Seaborne as far as I'm concerned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to find his best eleven and stick with it as much as possible. Definitely. Last season it was a major problem as our back 4 never stayed the same 2 games in a row for months. As said already, Balatoni and Frans struck up a very solid partnership when they were played together consistently. This season already we've had the exact same problem, our CB pairing is changed game after game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednyella Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Archie G. You're absolutely right. The analysis is shocking. I've noticed the media and how terrible the journalism is. TBF it's not just for us. I've noticed it for a few teams. But you're right that we get little to any coverage on why things are bad at Firhill. If you compare the analysis in England it's vastly superior in terms of analysis on all levels. Even for the lower leagues. An example on TV...I watched poor Pat Nevin sit next to Chris Boyd last week on sportscene after Killie got pumped 4-0 and it was embarrassing commentary and Pat was cringing as he gets to go on MOTD which is light years ahead. Boyds the best the BBC can give us on the panel!??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I don't really care if nobody is analysing how shite we're playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 STV reporting we've signed Muirhead on loan from DU til January. Decent player, but I'm sure the Killie fans on here said he was wasted anywhere but up front. Be interesting to see where he plays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Always thought he was more of 'number 10'. He likes to shoot so that'd be good. Would be a decent signing I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Always liked the look of him from the little I've seen. Didn't actually expect us to get anyone so that's quite pleasant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 What I know about Muirhead has been built from P&B. A striker who's shite when played on the wing. And we'll probably sign him to play on the wing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffelz Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Horrid on the wing. A don up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 'N Yellow Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Good player, think he's been decent when he's played for United. Wonder if we're still looking for a proper winger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 With us having 3 strikers now it'd be nice to see if we could change it up a bit and go 2 up front on occasion since we're struggling for goals. Not that it helped much v Falkirk in the 2nd half right enough. Fairly happy with that signing. If we can get Stanton in too then that could solve our problems creating chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
