The Partick Thistle thread


Recommended Posts

Also, not wanting to be the voice of doom here , and again assuming we haven't made the mother of all admin f**k ups and he's free to play, but I'm a wee bit cautious on "why us" aspect of this, and conscious of the fact that the last time we thought we'd signed a gem of a striker based on half a good season in the Premiership for a bottom 6 club it was Miles Storey. Hopefully being a level down will help Coulibaly get up to speed quickly.

We still need a right back, charitably to provide cover and competition for Elliott, or less charitably to replace him (team captain, awkward). A centre back (assuming were stuck with Keown  wiping his arse with £20 notes til at least January) although probably as cover, and a centre mid who doesn't shatter into a million pieces when tackled. Think that's our attacking options sorted though.

It's of no concern to you m8.

Itll be a concern to a lot of folk when it all kicks off with FIFA and Al Ahly, or you just get the Weirs to pay them off, obviously.

This signing is the first one since, probably, Higginbotham, when you've gone "... ooft... decent..."

No doubt he'll now be pish for us, but that's a proper marquee signing. Now the main thing we really need is another (preferably versatile) defender and a midfielder with some dig.

We got club lawyer/chief exec Gerry Britton on the phone to Al Ahly and he bored them into agreeing to release his registration.

Actually burst out laughing reading this. Bravo :lol:

No need to be charitable, the recent evidence comprehensively proves that we need a proven right back to replace Christie Elliott.

And Keown doesn't wipe his arse with £20 notes - standard practice is £50 notes.

Once you get him match fit he’ll be good to go, trained with a local junior team last year and was carrying a few extra pounds.

He is one of those players who does very little for the majority of a game and will just pull something incredible out the bag almost every week. I wish he was coming back to us but happy for him to get fit at Partick for a year before the inevitable move back to RP.


I hope.

Ofc RG is chipping in here when his clubs marquee signing was Tony Watt..

At least Tony Watt can play for us :lol: fwiw he's got four goals in seven games already.. 

You continue believing the only reason you've got him is desire from the club and good fortune, while ignoring the reason both Hearts and Aberdeen have pulled out of deals for him over the past twelve months. 

You'll either find he gets refused clearance, or the Weirs have finally shown how far they'll go to subsidise your club.

So he'll get refused clearance then.

The Weirs have invested in the future of the club with their support of the Academy. They are now investing, through their property company, in  the new training complex. I sincerely hope they don't get involved in the purchase of players. I don't want us to be a club that buys its way out of trouble.

It's five in seven, four of which came against lower league opposition, no? Christ, one of our academy boys has scored three in six having started just one game...
