GAD Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 2 hours ago, Drooper said: Strain would be a huge loss. There was a lot of chat about valuations for Baccus, but I reckon Strain is our prized asset by some distance. Only worth what someone will pay for him, but anything less than £500K would be robbery! I really, really hope he stays. Thing about Strain for me is he's quite specialised. He plays that right wing back role specifically and doesn't seem particularly flexible, so he'd need to go somewhere where they play that system, which might also be why he's found Australia caps harder to come by, unlike Baccus who plays a position and a style that most teams of his level could accommodate. I suppose that could work either way on his value, but the market of clubs to sell him to might be smaller than we think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also a bit of a dead ball specialist, right enough, and that is another marketable attribute. Edited July 6, 2023 by Drooper Right!

MenstrieSaint Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I think Strain could play right back in a back four , right back in a back five and right midfield in a four man midfield. Excellent right sided player in my opinion . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Strain is a fantastic right wing back. Best in the League in my opinion. We have never played him anywhere else so no idea how he'd get on in other positions. I look at Paul McGinn who could play centre back, full back and wing back. Reckon Strain could easily play these positions and maybe even right winger as well! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not going to inflate our squad with loads of senior players. Edited July 6, 2023 by Captain_Sensible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if we only bring in a couple more. He will rotate the young boys he is talking about too. There may be 7 they identify that will be in and around the squad though not possibly all at once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Sensible Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Reading various articles and this quote from Robinson appears to indicate that we’ll be keeping the 3-5-2 formation and McMenamin will be slotted into it: ”"We’ve signed a very good footballer that can play in numerous positions. He can play right through the middle, as a wing-back and in behind the striker, so we’ve got a really versatile player who can score goals and create chances.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
