TheScarf Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 So that's 2 games Oakley has done nothing against HL sides. He's hope he's just a slow starter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really impressed with John Baird, his finishing was good as was his movement and work rate. Think he'll be a decent signing. Not too sure about Oakley and Ridgers though. Oakley doesn't seem to offer much despite his goal while Ridgers is horrid at crosses. I'd like to see Alex Cooper given another run out. He had a quiet game on the whole, but he did seem to have skill and his passing was pretty good. Joe Chalmers looked steady enough. Another I'd like to see again. Along with Seedorf, both the P&J and STV are saying that Riccardo Calder has signed yet nothing official from the club. Calder looked pacey and direct. Apparently, we've also agreed terms with Elbouzedi but again nothing official as of yet. Alex Cooper? Surely not the same one we had who masqueraded as a footballer for two seasons. If it is he's atrocious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Litt Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 As Biggie said Calder looked decent in the chances he got for us. It's accepted though that he was dropped because of major attitude issues which resulted in him greeting every week on twitter about not being selected (usually the night before a game and giving away he wasn't playing). When the fine Nick Ross scored against the DABS the camera cut to our bench and whilst everyone else was going mental he was just sat on his arse scowling. Petty as f**k. Provided he doesn't act like a fud I reckon he'd rip this league up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Left back with an attitude problem? Have we signed Andre Blackman again? I'd still quite like to see Nick Ross make a return to ICT. He's a tidy player and reckon he'd be a starter for us pretty much every week which is something we couldn't guarantee last time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Aye Nick Ross would play every game without doubt. He'd cigar this league as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically a younger Craig Samson. I quite liked Alex Cooper as a midfielder, but it sounds like he's now a left back. I'd be surprised if ICT sign him. Having said that... ... Joltin' Joe Chalmers is an utter, utter charlatan. Offers nothing. At one point, I believe, he was linked with a move to County. So happy that didn't happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Draper forces the move we're probably relatively comfortable rejecting these bids as he's under contract for another two years and we know you lads have a load of cash after the Boyce deal so we might try and push you well into six figures to bid for him. Nice to have a transfer saga to kill some time before the season kicks off... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know if it's being spent terribly wisely. That said, Draper is a damn fine player and ought not to be mucking around in the Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll obviously sell him if you guys pony up the dough. No idea what kind of fee we are looking for though. Maybe £250k? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 We've signed tonnes of young Englishmen today. Some will probably be brilliant (Watkins, Raven, Tansey, McKay, Draper, Warren) and some will be shite (Blackman, Gibbons, Oswell, King, Greenhalgh). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 If RC come up with a bigger and acceptable bid for Ross Draper then obviously the board will take it, Draper I'm sure feels allegiance to us but first and foremost he is a complete professional and would want to be in the SPL and not the championship, with far more television coverage in that league he would be more in the shop window for a possible further and more lucrative move. A move to RC would obviously cause minimal upheaval to his family life with only a 15 min drive in the morning. Good Luck to him if he does go, he served us well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 We used Alex Cooper at left wing. He was O.K. out there, seen far worse, but we had better options at that position and released him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Riccardo Calder is basically Phil Roberts. Looks to have fantastic ability, but absolutely dreadful attitude whilst at Dens. Thought he was billy big time and as such didn't get a game. Waster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Philip Roberts seemed to go on the same pattern at every club. Signs up and then looks really good for the first three or four games, then loses interest and gives up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee_bairn Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 He had a meltdown when playing for us against Alloa. The second booking was ridiculous followed by his actions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3prbdJ1v1nE 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caley Shaun Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 So happy with all these signings so 100% Robbo and that will continue (some probably think it won't last but I've grown up now lol so I assure you peeps that I WILL stick to my word). To anyone saying Nick Ross, I'd say no UNLESS the worst case scenario came true and Draper was sold. Only midfielder I'd sign is Jack Leitch or Adam Blake then get Joe Chalmers and Alex Cooper (then that's defence sorted) then concentrate on getting a couple of Strikers, maybe Davidson but I wouldn't be disappointed if he never got signed up. Anyway, not sure how many on here have Instagram because I saw that Scottish Football gossip page say we're after Tony Watt . We need to get OFW out, hopefully someone is interested, Esson to concentrate on coaching, keep MacKay as sub then loan our other goalies out so that leaves us with 2 GK, Esson can be used in an emergency situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Davidson has a broken foot. Probably not the best idea to sign him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
