glenburn bud Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 There’s already a meltdown going on twitter about Ross Stewart leaving. He didn’t feature much last season and spent most of it at Alloa in league one. Maybe Stubbs reckons he’s not good enough for this level and it gives him more in the pot to bring in a better player. I think he’s got great potential tbh. Just need to wait and see as there’s been nothing official as yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddist Monk Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Got to say, that is disappointing if true. Not that Stewart was integral to our survival, but still... like many I saw some potential there. Stubbs could pull a rabbit out of a hat here and deliver with a couple of key signings in the forward area but I am beginning to have my doubts. Could we run on just Mullen and Cooke up front? Em, sure, but it would be pretty thin gruel. My only hope is that he is certain of players signing as whether he wanted Stewart around long term or it stills seems folly to let him go before that replacement has a scarf waved above his head. Who knows, maybe Stewart is/was keen to move? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TQM Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Can't say I'm too upset at Stewart leaving, other than it leaves us terribly short on options up front, but Stubbs MUST have a replacement already secured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaf out of Sevco’s book my arse. Fake news. Disappointing post geo87, disappointing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddist Monk Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 The statement is fine, it's just Ayr putting it out that every player has their price and that Ayr will be bargaining like a mofo because Shankland's on form. Understandable really. That said, McCall has spent almost the last 4 weeks raving about how fit he is, and that he's more than capable of playing higher up the league and wondering why no other clubs had taken him on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just made up that he's going to you btw. Could do worse than at least have a look at him while he's here I'd have thought. Wouldn't be the first player to be knocked back after a trial from one club and come good elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, we knocked back Paul Ritchie several years ago after he had a good loan spell because he was too old. He then went to Caley and won the 1st division, scoring over 20 league goals in the progress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Stewart strikes me as being the current squad's version of John Baird in that he didn't play much for the title-winning side and is going to find game time even more limited now we're in the top flight (although maybe not with the options we currently have at our disposal!). If he gets a decent run of games he'll probably score a fair number for County. I could see him playing plenty for us due to our lack of strikers but can't see him scoring that often in the Premiership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs rejected him but we signed him.....Hibs made the right decision.Pretty sure Alan Russell scored a double against us we then signed him from Hamilton and he never scored again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s made a pigs ear about signing strikers, so that’s probably where his priority remains. A target man and a left winger/ midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
