It could be a covid mirage, but I'm sure it happened. I do remember Fuchs nearly kicked his head into the Cooper stand when we played Dundee United. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camer0n_mcd Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Robbie Mahon only managed 4 starts for Dunfermline in league 1 last season. I'd be nothing short of astounded if he got anywhere near the squad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I really like Tierney he's not displacing Spittal. Is he versatile? What's his position. He seems to be an (I'm going #OldSkool FM) AMC. (Trequartista/Enganche/"no. 10" for all you f**k boys) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 2 minutes ago, Busta Nut said: knew i'd forget one Aye. In all seriousness though, I agree. I think he's got the potential to be smashing but it's that weird thing of where he fits in. As you say, he's not replacing Spittal but when you look at the goals he's scored (in not a lot of time on the park) he has a knack of being able to drift into pockets of space...a space interpreter if you will. His goal against St Mirren is a fucking brilliant finish like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His shooting is like a young Jamie Murphy's. 90% trundle into keepers arms with no pace. I don't think he's got anything either physically or technically to ever make it at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, I think he very much does have it - physically it's a problem, which is made worse by him not really fitting into our system. I hate the idea that every player needs to be 6ft2 and a brick shithouse to make it, so I want to see him do well... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the physical thing is absolutely fair comment but I've definitely always seen him as technical player. As I say, it's his off the ball stuff that feels like the sort of thing that you can't really coach - to me he has a kind of instinctive knack of being able to find space but I'm not sure that aspect of his game has ever really aligned with how either Alexander or Hammell wanted us to play. Which is obviously a problem. Tbh, there's still a weirdness that it was #Grezza who signed him in the first place given the nature of Alexanderball. Even after the fact it seems odd that he recruited a bunch of technical players like KVV, Tierney, Goss etc but wanted them to play the %s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Give Tierney a free role next to Wilkinson up front in your 3-5-2 and watch him cook. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolka Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I was very happy to see Rossi go to Motherwell as it seemed like a great fit for him off the park, which is what matters most. He's not someone that I'd like to see hopping around too much. Having said that, physically he is what he is and there's no point in a manager having him if he doesn't have a role for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Tierney have potential? Yes. Does he have an obvious role? No. Does he look physically capable of starting 30+ games? No. If those are three questions and answers when you sign a kid it's fine. If those answers haven't changed at all in 18 months of development at a supposedly higher it's pretty concerning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellboy1991 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Seeing some chat on Twitter about Casey returning. Would defo love it and a back three of Casey - Butcher - Blaney I personally think would be dynamite. Solid, athletic, no nonsense and consistent. All for it. As much as I like McGinn would swap him for Casey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him out on loan to the Championship, 20 games then bring him back stronger to see our season out. Tried and tested method. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of wonder if this change in international loans is making things awkward. Dundee seem to have picked up Boateng on loan from Palace mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
