Not really the put down you think it is there. Lee Erwin made us £500k and absolutely battered the ****. Some boi. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I don't know how reliable The Star is but they also have other Championship clubs interested in that article. I didn't realise Biereth is London-born, just assumed he'd come over from Denmark at a young age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Is Erwin not currently banging in the goals? Re: Biereth, may be one of those strange things where we change our approach (Ie cant tey and play through him all the time) and end up scoring anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellboy1991 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Far as I am led to believe is the recall has been requested by Arsenal and we are just waiting on it being confirmed/announced. Worrying times indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC92 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 On 16/01/2024 at 15:55, Archie McSquackle said: My memories of seeing Halliday is that he's quite good at scoring from late runs from midfield but not much of a midfield presence. Could be quite tidy with Spittal and Miller/Paton but we'd need Davor or Butcher to be doing a lot of donkey work behind them. That's probably about right. A good finisher, but goes missing in a midfield two. Might be better in a three, where he can roam about more, but we didn't see much of him there. I'd say he showed his best form for us at left-wing-back. Almost completely out of the picture since Naismith came in, even when we had a midfield injury crisis in August and we're chucking defenders in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to his IG the other day he was boarding a flight to Amsterdam so….it seems unlikely seeing as his most recent post is of him cutting about with family. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 It's almost impressive that a season can be so unrelentingly grim. I'm actually kind of looking forward to the next thing that happens - East Stand condemned? Player arrested for dealing in dodgy Firesticks? Nathan McGinley played as a roving attacker Vs Alloa? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Going by recent events (at other clubs as well, not just the Biereth rumours), it's looking like season-long deals aren't worth the paper they're written on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Edinburgh media the guy is on loan at Scunthorpe and ourselves and St Johnstone were sniffing about. I have no idea if he is any good or not but fully expect him to sign for St Johnstone shortly . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the blow to find out we'll now have neither More like Bair and McGinley with Barry McGuire playing “trequartista “ in the hole. This season is the fucking pits 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika was a great signing that I was happy with when we made it and it has been successful purely on the numbers - but it does show the risk of signing your main forward as a development loan from the EPL. On one hand you get a player that you couldn't otherwise afford/attract - on the other, you can be kicked squarely in the baws in the way we're apparently about to witness. Only slight upside is that it's early enough in the window that we can get someone else in without a total panic. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only slight upside is that it's early enough in the window that we can get someone else in without a total panic. This is kind of the way I'm looking at it as well. I mean, for me the positive is that we actually identified and signed him in the first place (yes we've since signed Oli Shaw et al) but you'd hope that if we've been given a steer that this might have been a possibility then we might have some sort of an alternative identified. It's been well covered but we've a decent track record of bringing in strikers - even the bold Curtis Main did us a proper turn short term when he replaced Moult. Who knows maybe there's some other wonderkid just kicking their heels around London Colney. I guess the problem is that making that signing is probably much easier in the summer than it is in January and we really need this one to make an immediate impact it feels like it's much higher risk and it also needs the board to actually back the manager since the policy they've put in place of trimming the numbers the way they have has been, respectfully, counter-productive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
