RiG Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Apparently we are signing this guy who was described to me as "one of the worst players I've ever seen". Encouraging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBeastie Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 If we do sign him, at least give him a chance mun! I wasn't enthused when we signed Carson, Allardice or Shaw but they turned not too bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanjo Nostalgia Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Did anyone ever work out what happened with him signing for some English club earlier this summer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They realised he was too good so released him for his contract so he could play for us. Very kind of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart of a mouse and very little ability. Seemed to have done semi okay at cove but giving him a 2 year deal is wild in my eyes, particularly for a side who have aspirations of the promotion play offs All Ready for Longstaff and Davidson to now tear us apart first day of the league campaign now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 A team that's serious about challenging in this division giving Luis Longstaff a 2 year deal is absolutely criminal. Jesus Christ, I genuinely cannot believe that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Belt Caley Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Let’s hope Longstaff is closer to Shaun Rooney than Steven Boyd on the “Shite elsewhere but signs for Caley” scale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis did very well at Cove. All of us wanted him to stay if we stayed up. Tricky winger who can tie full backs in knots and has a very decent delivery too. Won't score many but he'll hug the sideline and try to get to the byline at any opportunity. He really shined with Max Johnston behind him. Clearly the latter was exceptional but with any competent overlapping or supporting full back he should do you a turn. Downside like many wingers he naturally doesn't win anything aerially and defensively won't offer much. Hopefully you get the Cove version as the QP one seemed a completely different player. This is his ceiling due to physicality, strength and overall impact I feel Edited July 20, 2023 by CoveRangers1922 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoveRangers1922 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Also McIntyre is clearly advising Dodds here. First Gilmour now Longstaff. For your sake I hope it's not Gerry McDonagh next Edited July 20, 2023 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its certainly an unusual career trajectory. Liverpool - QP - Cove - Inverness. I say good luck to him (except against us of course) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juanjo Nostalgia Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Good to see Gardiner, Robertson and Dodds sticking to the “mates first” policy... Anyone remember when we, at the end of our worst run of the season, beat Cove 6-0? They got relegated from the league so we’re… signing multiple of their players… to help us get promoted? Give me a break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Belt Caley Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Did anyone else see the “Insiders” tweet before the signing was announced? Something like “Welcome to Inverness Harry Lodovica” The account is now deleted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a break. It is possible for relegated teams to have some good players. Time will tell if Gilmour and Longstaff are good. Not sure how this fits into “mates first” either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 You don't have to write a zinger post decrying a new or young player to show how cool you are. There's enough evidence on here to show how fraught with embarrassing fail that can be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that Dodds is good mates with Jim McIntyre, now he’s signing multiple of the same players that his mate was signing this time last year. Do you think they might have had a conversation about it? Do you think talking to your mate who didn’t even last a season at the worst team in the league is a professional method for scouting talent? Do you think these signings demonstrate any ambition with regard to getting promoted from the Championship? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
