Busta Nut Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Great effort from the P&BMFCSC. I think we are stretching our budget a wee bit now so i don't think we should push for much more just now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Moving away from the bit for a second. Clearly everyone's aware of #TONY's reputation but given the last 3 games we've either started an Academy player as a #9, chucked Bevis Mugabi up front or thrown on Seedorf/Manzinga/MacIver/Ilic and asked them to change a game then while he's clearly not Moult getting Watt in as an experienced option is as good a punt as we're going to get given the circumstances. This is where we are...we saw the front 3 rotating on Wednesday against Celtic I'd guess that'll be what we're looking to do going forward. Fair play to the club btw. I had a slight concern that we might just look at the 3rd place and decide that we're safe with a good chance of Top 6 so choose to count the James Scott money and stick with the bodies we had running the risk of letting the season drift a bit rather than try and address the issue - especially after having been burnt by McCormack last season. Robinson's "we're a club that develops players" line tied in with that sort of angle as well when we were chucking MacIver and Manzinga in. If it works out then great, if not then at least we didn't just sit on our hands. Anyway, back to the patter...#WELCOMETONY Edited February 7, 2020 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Odds on Motherwell being the first club Tony gets double digit goals for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) I think a "rotating" front three could be decent. Or a good old McGhee style lop sided 3, Winger and two who play more centrally. Edited February 7, 2020 by Busta Nut 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 After all this he'd better actually be halfway decent. Imagine if he made the return of Ross McCormack look good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if he made the return of Ross McCormack look good. A look at his stats on wiki doesn't exactly inspire massive confidence, but after that Livi game then I'm pretty keen to clutch any straws that are going, tbqh. Also, there are quite a few mentions of bust-ups in his history. Hopefully any 'big-time-charlie' tendencies have been knocked out of him by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Toon Saintee Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) So Toxic Tony gets yet another pay day ..That guy must have made a fortune in signing on fees and severance pay.There is no doubt that he has ability (as he has shown at many of the 12 clubs that he has in tbe last 10 years).You should be OK on a short term deal as he generally gives up after the third month...I believe he wanted to come back to Saints and TW said Nah !

crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I'm quietly confident it will work out well. I think some people seem to think that it won't be a success unless he hits double figures, that's not specifically true. In the first 23 league games of the season, between them Cole and Scott got 7 goals and an individual assist and we got by fine with that. If Aarons and Watt between them can have some sort of similar ratio, you'd have to see both as a success for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
