Those 4 games should give McCall a better idea of what is actually needed. Plus teams in the league above will probably deem players as surplus and will be releasing them, similar to Smith at Hearts last season. So do you think that there is budget still available to spend or are we waiting to see if a payout comes from the Betfred cup? Personally I think our squad looks weak and will struggle to replicate the last few seasons where we got out of the group stages. That’s fine if we still have some cash in reserve but would be concerned if it depends on a wedge coming from the cup 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current squad is more than capable to be competitive in the group. Minimum injuries would see us be comfortably top 8 in the league IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazbart Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Surely we won’t be paying much towards Kelly or Doohan’s wages or even Frank Ross so there’s probably still money there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I'm already very pleased / excited about this squad we've put together. Looking at it, we have this boy from Rangers who's basically replacing Robbie and if he lives up to anything like his "wonderkid" tag, then we could have found a cracker, we've then got Frank Ross who again looks like he could potentially be a huge upgrade on Declan McDaid and then if we add a fully fit and firing Alan Forrest, a young and exciting Luke McCowan and the two old hands of Moffat and Doolan then we could have a recipe to cause carnage in opposing teams defences once again. Roscoe will hopefully come in and prove a worthy replacement for Rose and if we can get Doohan back then all in all I think we can look forward to the season ahead with some real optimism. Come on the Ayr !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawlino Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Think we’ll still need a couple of old heads to help the young lads along . McCowan , Ross , Kelly , Harvie , Forrest , McGuffie and a few others , probably squad players will still need that helping hand on the pitch during games and round about them when the going gets tough , especially in that league . A couple of older experienced lads now for me and we should be ok . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of older experienced lads now for me and we should be ok . Bell, Adams, Kerr, Docherty, Moffat, Doolan, Moore all have loads of experience, but I would say our quota for “young hungry” players is reaching its maximum. Although I wouldn’t label Doohan as that, his experience last year would mean his a stable player at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawlino Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Old heads that’ll play . Adams , Docherty , Moore don’t play enough . Constantly injured and cant see that changing as its been going on for years now .We need regulars on the pitch , no now and agains , is he fit is he no fit . I’ll give you Moffat , Kerr and Bell and i’ll reserve judgement on Doolan until we see him play . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doolan is probably closest to this category but looked out a bit out of sorts last season. The defence looks particularly fragile if Ferguson has failed to progress massively from before 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawlino Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Yes , established regulars , preferably that wee bit older . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a 2nd tier Scottish team with one of the smallest budgets in the league, as such I'd say we've built up both a large and pretty good quality squad given the resources at our disposal. I also find it rather unbelievable that Doolan is more or less being written off before he's kicked a ball, even though he's been a proven performer at SPL level not so long ago. Who do people think we should be signing if Doolan's not "proven" ? Messi ? Ronaldo ? Iniesta back from Japan??

D'Jaffo Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Doolan is probably about as proven as they come in terms of realistic targets for us. Guys like Moffat, Kerr and Bell are all very experienced players at this level and will still have a big part to play. Even Alan Forrest has over 200 senior appearances to his name so he’ll be a good asset for us. However aside from Doohan, I don’t think it’s wise to bring in anymore loans. That’s why we should probably wait and see what players will be allowed to leave permanently before the league gets underway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I actually think we have a good mix of experience and young players. Bell, Adams, Kerr, Docherty, Geggan, Moffat, Doolan and Muirhead are al very experienced players. We still need ideally three more players, GK(Doohan), Striker and a right back. I’ve heard that a deal for Dapo Medude on loan from Rangers could be close while someone on the SRE has mentioned Jack Aitchison from Celtic. I reckon we’ll only get a right back if we qualify from the league cup group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Doohan comes in and also a striker on loan that would be four loans, I would take Jack Aitchison if there is any truth to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Is Aitchison not more of a second striker like Moffat or McCowan? He didn’t really do anything at Alloa last season either. Mebude is more of an unknown quantity and only 17 I think which could go either way tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Mebude will be 18 in the end of the month. Aitchison hardly kicked a ball last season, i don't know if he wasn't good enough for alloa or if he was injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
