PB1994 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I presume this means Samuels will be played out wide now, mostly. Oakley will be the Sutherland replacement and the boy from Alloa will spend the year sat on the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Samuels has been garbage when he's been played out wide. I'm pretty meh about another striker coming in - I still think we need another central midfielder and a right back before this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1994 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Yeap he has been much good up front and awful out wide. It’s the only way I see this signing making sense though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I’d forgotten about that “he never gives the ball away” song until someone on my group chat reminded me of it when news of Oakley’s trial came out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 There was a mention on 'Off The Ball' last saturday that around 1000 players were looking for work, take out of that what you will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a few fans saying this, I think I’m remembering a totally different player. He was very poor at the start of his first spell in what was a flung together side IIRC however he was significantly improved by the time he left. If he’s anything near the level he was before departing, he’s a very good option to have and something different to what we’ve got already. Given how Samuels played during the playoffs surely it’s him and Billy up top? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only usually sign 4 or 5 players in the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAn Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) It would be pretty foolish to go into the season with Mckay and Samuels as our only two strikers. Oakley is a different kind of forward to the others so I think it makes complete sense bringing him in. It's always good to have options. Hopefully we can get a winger in if we make any other signings. Possibly wating to see what Uniteds plan is for Chalmers.

bdu98196 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Not a glamour signing but it's a solid option. Experienced player and probably not on big money so fits into our budget with a willingness to come to the club / area. Everyone in the league is looking for that free player who could score 15 to 20 goals a season on peanuts - its a gamble 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I overheard Scot Gardiner saying we need 7 or 8 at Aaron Doran’s testimonial event, due to Sutherland and Walsh’s injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
