Signing so many ex Darvel players is baffling given the fact the level of under achievement last season by the majority of them. 

Is it really that big a jump to the LL from WOSFL Premier League? Tranent done very well last season after coming in and it was a shock when they beat Darvel in the playoff.

I think the point is more, Darvel finished 3rd this season,

After they beat Aberdeen in the Scottish they had an almighty collapse

In hindsight, the Aberdeen game was the worst thing to happen to their domestic season but they were still in the mix for the league when Kennedy left.

A lot of Darvel's players are suited to playing at a higher level as well. Less kick and rush, more football on the deck etc.

Mick and Si aren't daft these boys are all good enough for the Lowland League. I think Si's season at Broomhill last year as well will help them massively as he will know what the league is all about now.

How EK Twitter trailed the signing of new midfielder Calvin McGrory earlier today:

 

Their next Tweet:

 

Goodwillie incoming, or Twitter admin having a laugh? 🤔

Probably having a laugh, but it’s not in very good taste if so.

He absolutely will not be getting close to 3 grand a week that’s outrageous. It’ll be a decent wage though.

 

Also not sure he will be going anywhere or not you’d think it would be done by now, he barely played for us last year as we were struggling very badly and couldn’t give him enough game time to get up to speed and fit because he missed pre season and was not near match fit.
 

Would hope if he stays he gets a good pre season under his belt and can actually make an impact. 

Plus if he WAS to go anywhere, it would be because either EK pay the money for him, or we let him go from his contract early.  No way would he be getting a payoff from us.

There's not a chance two folk as PR savvy as Mick Kennedy and Si Ferry sign Goodwillie. Especially with EK already looking very strong and building a strong, positive presence online.

Yep they've really stepped up their online output in recent weeks, must have a new enthusiastic student working on their portfolio.

Hopefully this is an announcement of Scott Allan who has been rumoured to be signing, and the implied references to Badcock are purely coincidental...

Have they signed Darvel's social media guy as well? Because the content feels (to my untrained eye!) quite similar in the way it really builds the hype. Really professional stuff.

Would be weird as was hobbling about after coming off in a friendly for us on Saturday.
 

Not sure a lot of Arbroath fans would be too arsed although had hoped he could maybe kick on with a pre season.

You are the social media guy aren’t you? 😂
