buddie06smfc Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Good signing IMO. Natural left sided defender which we probably could’ve done with at times this season, I thought he was a decent player for Motherwell. He’s pretty rapid as well. Goodwin evidently has a lot of trust in our head physio - he has mentioned many times. Could be wrong but I’m sure players can recover from injuries as well, 2 year deal spot on. More stability and he’s a good age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it came about from some #content from a Winter Training Camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a huge punt in truth, good luck to the guy in getting a two year deal when he hardly played a game in years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 This one is a massive risk, especially the two year deal. Reminds me a bit of Darren McGregor tearing his ligaments, missing a year, and doing his other knee in his 3rd game back and missing another year and we stuck by him, giving him a new deal. Hopefully the guys issues are behind him. Given his horrible record, If we can get 20 games per season out of him I'd take that just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drooper Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Did Harry Davis not have a sketchy injury record when he joined us? He seemed to do okay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History suggest you'll either get a full season out him, or he'll break down and miss the whole season, doesn't seem much of a middle ground with him. Turns 29 next season and has managed over 25 league games in a season twice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munoz Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 When we signed Fraser, Tait and Shaughnessy we had opposition supporters telling us how bad they would be. I think I'll wait and see how Dunne gets on with us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is stating Dunn is a bad player, he’s strong and quick, not the greatest technically but IF he’s fit a very useful addition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll wait and see how Dunne gets on with us.Tait wasn't a bad player but had definitely lost a bit of pace when he moved on. Dunne can do a job at this level but it depends whether he's fully fit or not, which he hasn't been for large parts of his career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe is a capable player for their level, I obviously wouldn't have him near our team but that's because he isn't value for the outlay needed and isn't as good as any of our 3 CBs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just can't remember a single person saying he'd be a poor signing. In general it was just mocking him for the way he pushed for his "big move" to the EFL Championship, before ending up at Southend then back to Scotland within a year. Steady, but prone to the odd brainfart, was as bad as the criticism of him likely got. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW saint Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I think we are taking a huge risk on a player who has hardly played much football. I really hope his injuries are behind him and this doesn't come back to haunt Goodwin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, the page has been updated recently for some players - for example the 3 foreign additions to Rangers in Itten, Haji and Zungu in 2020. For those keen to sort out any discrepancies, the link I'm taking the data from is this.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foreign_Scottish_Premier_League_players You’re thinking of the wrong Ben Gordon, it was the one that played with you - neither of them were from NZ, but the one that played with you did play there so he won’t feature on that list.
