Handsome_Devil Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 9 hours ago, CoF said: I was thinking the same. Hylton wasn't absolutely outstanding but he was decent enough. He certainly had a brief spell when was excellent but the issue with that pair is they arrived rough and - with a short exception for JH - got worse rather than better. And if you decide both not good enough, it's maybe easier to get the better one off the wage bill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliphas Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 On today's game....obviously very short up front at the moment with Obika being a doubt as well. We've got Ferrie from the young team. Am I right in saying Luca Ross is a forward? But we just played him at right wing back in the first group game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) Hmmm… This would be *checks notes* Conor Keeley. A 25 year old, 6ft 5” centre back.. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/conor-keeley/profil/spieler/377180 Edited July 29, 2023 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 If ever an Irish centre back is leaving, everyone just assumes it's us they're going to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) Having done a bit of Saturday morning Veronica Mars-ing it seems Keeley recently (March) signed with an Edinburgh based agency (InMotion) who for the most part seem to operate in the Scottish lower leagues. Recent deals include Niang signing for Cove, Aaron Muirhead contract extension at Thistle, Tom Lang signing with Falkirk plus a bunch of academy at Celtic, Hearts, St Mirren etc. With that in mind a move to Scotland doesn't seem that wild a shout for him. Whether or not it's us is a different story but we've seen that the Irish league tends to be pretty leaky with this stuff. We're clearly pretty well stocked for defenders but listening to Kettlewell talking about there being players he's spoken to who may not be in line to play as much as they'd like/expect then it's not a massive leap to identify a couple of centre backs in our group who might fit that profile.

And even better, if we're apparently this close to a done deal, it's not that much more of a leap to conclude we're close to getting at least one of the usual suspects out the door. Otherwise there's surely no way we'd be using up the precious budget to add yet another CB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise there's surely no way we'd be using up the precious budget to add yet another CB. It depends I guess. Both Blaney and Tierney moved at the end of the LOI season and signed with us in January so it could be a case of having a deal agreed in principal rather than something imminent. I mean, as it stands, it's a complete random on Twitter saying it's a rumour going about. It's not like it's one of the Irish journos saying it's a thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can play left or right. Not through the middle. We genuinely don’t have many other options. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Spittal playing off of Wilkinson at some point. He’s played there a couple of the games off of Obika. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I added mine to my card but you're maybe too late to do that if you're trying today. I tried to buy my QP ticket last Saturday but only the EF ticket was reserved for me - I had to buy and print the QP ticket in the normal way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate - I never even noticed whether my seats had been reserved, when I bought . In that case yes - will be on your season ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure Dinamo went through a Sevco-style era of unpleasantness recently. He’s probably their version of Andy Halliday but less staunch, presumably. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowsdower Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 We have McGinn, mugabi, lamie and Butcher all out of contract at the end of this season I think, so looking at replacements now isn't the worst idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
