Stephen Malkmus Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Who is BRE? Big Robert Earnshaw? I think we should get Nauris Bulvitis back. A bit part player in Plymouth's race to the League 2 title last year and Derek Adams may be happy to loan him out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Malkmus Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Actually he's a free agent now. Dani Sanchez too please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Surely you guys must have some young talent to call on. The highland academy has been going for years now and it doesn't seem to have produced an awful lot of first team regulars or big money sales. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fucking shite when we cuffed Dunfermline in the League Cup last year and it seems that this is the norm. A defence with "BRE", Mckay and Chalmers sounds like a right old laugh. Bloody Robert Eagle would be a better signing. Edited June 22, 2017 by RiG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Malkmus Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'm not too concerned about the majority of these uninspiring rumours given that they are mostly all defenders / keepers: areas in which we are well-covered already. We need some ballast to stick on the bench and they won't be starters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highland academy has been going for years now and it doesn't seem to have produced an awful lot of first team regulars or big money sales. Ryan Christie did win Young Player of the Year but we don't seem to have pushed players into even fringe first team contention. Liam Polworth has been a regular but he's the only one other than Christie in the last few years. We have got rid of our development team this year, same as we did last time we were relegated, but we'll be running teams up to the Under 19 level. Last time we came down Graeme Shinnie, Gavin Morrison and Nick Ross were all given debuts so it could be that the reduced budget might mean young players get a chance. We've got seven youth players who will be pushed into the first team squad. Some fans have said Andrew MacRae is decent but I always think it's a bit hit and miss looking at players in the development games. There's also some talk we'll loan players out to Highland League teams, which is generally a halfway house to the door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah christie was the only name i.could think of but I wasn't sure whether he'd come through the highland academy or not. Ross County havent done much better at bringing through young talent as far as I can we either.

If I didn't know you better I'd swear you were enjoying this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also two young lads from England featuring as trialists soon. Can't say I'm overly impressed with the Baird signing, bit of a journeyman on his travels but I'll wait and see how he progresses and I wish him well, considering where we are financially with a reduced first team squad and coming so late into the transfer market we can only piss with the cock we've got. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall was a good signing for us. Journeyman you say, but rattled in a very decent total for us in an excellent first season (with the bigger fish in the league), when his work rate & scoring were top notch; sadly in his second year the goal return dropped off badly. But never stopped harassing defenders and always looking to contribute. Made a pest of himself, in a good sense i.e. when he's in your team. Liked him & his attitude, wish him well, obv except for 4 games. Expect he'll get into double figures for you, and undoubtedly will score against us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was he more of an impact sub? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Someone on CTO saying we've got Rory McAllister training with us. Probably pish. Unsure if he could take his goals up to this level but has to be worth a look at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another, probably pish rumour, is we're interested in Sean Dillon, released by Dundee United. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB1994 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 It did look like McAllister on the news. Can only imagine it is to keep his fitness levels up. Don't see him giving up his job for a wage we would be offering 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
