Stan Bo Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Just to get the rumour mill going, seen a post on Twitter that the new defender coming in is Alex Iacovitti from Port Vale, formally Ross County. Don't remember much about him other than him being a big unit. Quick wikipedia search says he's a left footed centre half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is Taylor should be played on the left. The big guy is getting better all the time. We need a player more on the right 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left sided centre back and occasional full back but not really. Has an absolute mare in him, usually involving wayward passing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS77 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Iacovitti would be a shocker of a signing IMO. He’s not as good as or better than anyone we have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember enough of him to comment but it's been clear for a while that Robinson doesn't fully trust Taylor so I'm not surprised he's went for another left sided centre half 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston_bud Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 He fits the cliche of a 'Robinson signing'. Big lad, quite fast (if I remember rightly), still a decent age. Robinson will fancy that he can improve him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 A replacement for Dunne. However, not a replacement for Bolton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't considered getting to Tirana immediately after the game. Was thinking 'pub' rather than a 2h journey in the dark. Flight not as early as I'd initially thought and a taxi from Shkoder is only around €60-€70 so early morning start a possible.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flight is at 1055 so you'd be leaving Shkoder about 715-730am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there will be a big 11pm post match pub scene on the Thursday night in Shkoder. The only way that's feasible is if we land a feared 5pm kick off time and even then, it'll be about 37 degrees. Plan currently is that we're staying in Tirana and travelling to Shkoder on morning of the match, we'll then head home and spend Friday in Tirana before an early Saturday flight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we struggled at times last year, with lack of height in defence. Iaccovitti goes some way to addressing that. He'll also add some presence to our corners/set pieces. I also certain that we'll bring in another RCB to replace Bolton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MenstrieSaint Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Actually think our first choice right sided central defender might be Slec Gogic . With Alex locawitti playing as a five Gopd signing though as it provides excellent cover for central defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Don't actually know if this rumour is real. We are also being linked with Iwata. We will just need to wait and see 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confess I've not looked at the town at all, but assumed there'd be things happening. So are you heading back to Tirana directly after the match? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
