RandomGuy. Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) Best of luck to him. Absolutely zero idea how he got another top flight club, never mind a 2yr deal, as hes genuinely one of the worst players ive ever seen play for us. Considering the money spent on him hes arguably the worst. Id seriously question how its come about you targeting him. Even small clips of him over the past few years wont have disguised his lack of ability. Again...

Self-raising Lazarus Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Unless Lennon Miller feels like scoring a goal a game I reckon we're in for an almighty struggle this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Going to the effort to cajole Connor Shields off the books, and moving on other fringe players, to then sign someone St. J did the exact same to on a 2 year deal is weird. I didn't think teaching 6'4" athletes football is as easy as some managers think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Manhattan Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Obviously not news to our friends in Perth, but I've only just discovered that his first name is actually Thelonius. The first thing that leapt into my mind was not improvisational jazz, but that this rhymes with felonious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Expectations are very low on this, but Davidson clearly had no idea what strikers were, how to use them, or get the best (or much at all) out of them. So there is that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumps under the ball constantly, doesnt have a clue where hes meant to be (most of his time on the park was spent standing staring at the ball), gets pushed off the ball by people half his size. Cant control the ball, cant run with the ball, struggled to pass the ball. Couldnt strike the ball cleanly, couldnt head the ball cleanly, couldnt tackle well. No aggression. He'll become a cult hero but only because of how bad he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloontang Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 It's hard to remain positive when fans from the club he left say he was one of the worst players they have seen when they have Chris Kane on their books. Saying that Callum Davidson looked a bit inept in getting the best out of his attacking options last season. His description sounds like he is pretty much like Mandron, probably add the chaos factor as his limbs and brain don't sync going for the ball. Hopefully it works out for us as I have been impressed by the amount of deadwood Kettlewell has managed to shift. It'll be interesting so see if the young guy from Arsenal arrives as that will gives us the five options up top assuming Efford's going to remain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Kane has been crocked for about 2 years, and is still injured, yet contributed more in a 20 minute cameo last season than Bair managed in 18 months. Kane got a 6 month deal despite being a complete crock while Bair got the last year of his contract paid off. Its completely blown my mind that youve signed him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His size isnt even that disruptive because he generally keeps himself away from a physical battle the first time, then gets a hounding for it so barges in the second time and gives away a foul. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allroy for Prez Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I’ve never seen this guy play but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more damning set of comments for the fans of the club he’s came from. Do we actually watch players play before we sign them? Or just look at the stats? As either way this guy shouldn’t even be given a seconds consideration. On a 2 year deal too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldred was allegedly the worst centre half in history and Bury died, so who had the last laugh, really? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I wouldn't worry about the fact he wasn't a prolific goalscorer for St. Johnstone. No one really ever is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
