supermarv Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Add some depth and strength to the middle of the park, be pleased if we can sign the boy from Middlesbrough and he has a good 6 months and hopefully another attacking minded midfielder if the club are feeling ambitious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Good to see we've moved on from guys who can't get a game at Livi to guys that can't get a game at St Mirren.Do Accies have any players they no longer want? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 They're probably used to it by now but I like the idea of the social media team checking the Twitter mentions, turning to each other and asking "who the f**k is Isaiah Jones?!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have been going for a full house at that rate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, fair play to the bold Isaiah. If nothing else he's made me entirely more relaxed about the Foley signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get there's different constraints this year but last January we brought in Rolando Aarons and the year before saw the arrival of Gboly and Ross Mccormack (although the latter turned out to be pish).It's hard not to be a bit underwhelmed by our signings this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Odd one. Foley was excellent for us last season, both in the middle of the park and at centre half. But in the very few appearances he has made this season it seemed to me like his legs had gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Do QOTS not train up here or something weird like that?Don't know what's happening this season but they used to train at Strathclyde Park and most of their players were based in west central Scotland. Maybe they're putting him up in North Motherwell. [emoji848] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard not to be a bit underwhelmed by our signings this year. I pretty much agree with this. As I said in a post earlier I think Alexander and Lucketti have kind of made a rod for their own back by talking about bringing in players who will improve the team and the squad then signing up a 34 year old who's not getting a game for St Mirren and being honest probably won't be starting ahead of Campbell, O'Hara, Polworth and maybe Maguire. I mean Kelly's an upgrade on Chapman, Lawless is an upgrade on Hastie/Seedorf and Smith isn't Jordan White but as you say, pre-window you had Robinson talking up previous January business and pointing to Gboly and Arrons. As you say I don't think anyone we've brought in so far look like that type of signing, again acknowledging that the pandemic is going to make things really fucking difficult.

I think this signing is the "...and the squad" part - and I'm fine with that. We've got a lot of games coming up and our options have looked massively limited recently - so signings like Foley make sense in that regard. The club may be looking higher but our basic goal for the rest of the season is to match County and Accies from this point on. A proper rebuild will (as usual) be needed in the summer - and this is likely to be a big one.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
