We will chuck in Zak Rudden for Trevor Carson. No thanks needed. We’ve got plenty of volunteer's who already clean the stadium. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillespie seems to do most of our negotiating in these situations now, he’s shrewd operator. We are actually run like a professional football team now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I'm going to say it, but Bruce Anderson is really under rated and would be an upgrade on Greive, and potentially Main, dependent on how you want to use him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly not like-for-like but we do know we're after two forwards. Anderson is the only Scottish top flight name we've been linked with and we've enough natural width in our forward options currently to shuffle existing players out wide so it's not too big a push to suggest we'd maybe look in that direction if McMenamin is a no go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be Main’s replacement? Fletcher & Anderson would be a good partnership I think. Wee Bruce plays better alongside a big striker like Fletcher, who’s good at linking play etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always (grudgingly) liked him. You have to worry for Greive's game time next season based on the sheer number of forwards we seem to be going for. I guess we're only chasing Anderson if McMenamin falls through, but with Nahmani in the door and an offer out for Fletcher as well, we're in danger of being a bit top heavy (albeit still not knowing where goals are deffo coming from). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 Safe to say though that if the McMenamin deal does go through early this week, the Anderson rumour can be killed off without any chance of it coming back up this pre season. If - big if - there is anything left in the transfer pot in terms of cash available to shell out in fees, it will surely be put towards strengthening the defence and the other forward we do eventually sign will either be unattached or their club will be willing to let them go for nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MenstrieSaint Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I'm thinking Robinsons first choices would be Main and McMenamin. The idea of suggesting interest in other players is a reminder to others to make their minds up . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW saint Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Bruce Anderson is a good shout. I would prefer the Irish Lad however. Was hoping we would get Fletcher 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn something new every day. 32% turnout apparently. Got to think that at that point Tory voters were more interested in the EU than others. 44 years ago is still to recent IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 In the last 6 months we have sold 4 players, 3 of whom were not getting a game. And the income is helping finance hopefully first pick players. Quite a turnround for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree, I think Anderson would suit us perfectly and would score a decent amount of goals in our set up. He strikes me as a very "Robinson" style player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
