capt_oats Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Oh... Quote Ebiye would enhance his frontline options as he can play through the middle or on either flank Edited March 5 by capt_oats 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly wouldn't sign him to make up numbers to the end of the season - we'll stay up anyway so save the cash. But if we do Indeed consider him part of the long-term plan, great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mentioned in Burns' article: Quote "The 26-year-old is a free agent after leaving Norwegian side Aalesund in January. Ebiye has been training at Fir Park and impressed boss Stuart Kettlewell. He is set to be handed a long-term deal." Link Edited March 5 by capt_oats 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellboy1991 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Scandanavian based striker you say…. Early days but I have told this should be an exciting signing for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al B Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Dave's going to be devastated. Like you think you've got something special going with someone and then his ex arrives on the scene and you realise they're still friends and you don't want to be the one causing the problem so you pretend you're fine with it but really you're not and all you want to do is just go back to the way it was but you cant and it just causes a wedge between you then they get back together because you're the one that's made it weird and you're not sure how cos everything was fine and now it's not. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, my initial reaction was is it worth it at this stage. However if it's a long term deal then fair enough. Bair is literally the only forward we have under contract for next season and as crazy as it would have seemed 3 or so months ago, if he keeps improving/scoring at his current rate he's bound to have interest as well. Would be delighted if we could keep Vale but I imagine that could be difficult. Even a half fit Nicholson looks like he's still got plenty to offer and long term(if he wants to stay) it feels like he could help fill the void when Spittal inevitably moves on. Fire Obika and Shaw into the sun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoF Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Something about him scoring against Aberdeen and parting the red sea. Dunno, haven’t quite worked it out yet but I’ll have some excellent bible themed patter ready for next season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably he's the one mentioned in January but his deal (at least initially) was to the end of 2023 so you wonder what the hold up was, if we were just unsure etc, did he hold out for another offer etc. If the delay was on our wish, fair play...the feeling of having to have any striker to present at 2359 on deadline day must have been big. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm good mates with a couple of Blackburn fans and they've written him off... you never can tell of course but they gave the impression they're looking to get rid permanently in summer. Whether we could afford him a different matter ofc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip. That’s the lads. Fitness concerns was one as has been out for a bit. Not sure if permit was/is an issue. Guys goals to game record from out wide is pretty decent aswell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given some of the absolute shite the Welsh have been calling up into the national team, surely giving him a platform to get in there, playing regular football, is a bit of a draw? I'd sign him now, FWIW. He's great value for our level. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And aye, I'd sign him (and Gent) on three-year deals this evening if we could. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsome_Devil Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Signed till 2025 so apparently we're not that convinced or he's very convinced we're just a step up. Good luck to him and hopefully he's not the last bit of good squad news in the next few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
