Fuctifano Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Obviously got to India, didn't fancy it and made up some bullshit excuse to come back. Olympiacos sounds close enough to Hamilton Accies I s'pose. Think there might have been some issues behind the scenes as it doesn't seem as if there was any attempt to keep him by Thistle unlike Frans and Miller, which I assumed at the time was because he was wanting too much money or wanted to go back to England but maybe just a fallout. I'd have kept him but if you'd said swap him for Gordon I'd have said aye so I'll take that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Correct. No contract was offered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Is he not a centre-back? He'd be our 3rd (4th if you count Breslin) centre-back that we've signed this summer. We still need two full-backs! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Aye. He's just an out and out centre back, there was some talk he could play left back when he signed as we were in dire need of one but I reckon Canning would probably be better at LB than Seaborne. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Seabourne and a striker apparently. I guess Olympiacos and Hamilton both play in red and white. ClosesClosest Dan would get to signing for the Greek outfit, tbh. He can be solid or a total liability at times. Canning seems keen on him and apparently went to the board to back the move. Smacks of Conrad seeking pastures new and ending up half an hour down the road. #ThePlasticIsntGreener 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Good news! Just need to sort out the lack of Full- backs before the window shuts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 The goalscoring record of this striker Rakish Bingham that's supposedly signing looks pretty grim. He was on loan at Falikrk a few years back in the Championship, making 11 appearances and never even managed to find the net. It wasn't that much better reading at any of his other previous clubs either. He's still only 22 though so has time to improve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'd have taken Seaborne back, I think he's a great no-nonsense defender. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accies1 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Getting a 3rd centre half isn't a bad thing. Jesus is out for the foreseeable future and McGregor is brutal so we need cover for Devlin and Sarris. As said full backs are still priority. Bingham just the usual pish striker for us.

Armand 2 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Know for a fact that Seaborne wasn't particularly well liked at Firhill. In terms of footballing ability, he's a tidy enough signing for Accies - without knowing much about the new boy Sarris, I'd say he's better than any of the other central defensive options on offer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owsley Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Bingham was just a kid at Falkirk. Another young guy who was at Wigan, to follow Redmond and Routledge and both of them have played a part in our "success" of recent years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laid-back Accie Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Just two full backs now, and i'd say we're sorted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could also mean we may start going 3 CBs again where we were relatively successful last season.As said full backs are still priority.Bingham just the usual pish striker for us. Full backs are def a priority but how you can say McGregor is brutal given hes played 3 first team games, we won them all, and he even scored, is harsh in the extreme. Considering the lack of experience he has, and fact hes still a teenager in a mans position, i think your writing him off far far too quickly. Im not sure this flingin shite at the defence holds up actually. Too many balls lost in midfield, too many terrible "passes". Lots to work on. The lad from partick is a decent enough out and out defender, but hes slow, can lack fitness, and his distribution is poor. Another knee jerk signing. But then again so many cream their y's for Tena and i think hes abysmal and no loss whatsoever. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a player the who'll score goals, whether it be a striker or an attacking midfielder. We'll be relegated if have to rely on the odd goal here and there from players. We need someone who'll consistently put the ball in the back of the net. The only player I can remotely see being up to it would be Brophy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he's pretty slow he is generally reliable and unlike the other centre backs, he's excellent with the ball at his feet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmanAccie Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) The physio is leaving soon. We should all sing her a song on Saturday in appreciation of her fine work. Might I suggest Victoria by the Kinks? Edited August 22, 2016 by AmanAccie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accie1 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 She wasn't overly enamoured with the previous song that was sung about/for her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
