D'Jaffo Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 Are your hopes up for someone that can't get a game in that team? Makes me very suspicious tbhI’m purely judging him based off his time at Morton where he did pretty well. Falkirk fans seem annoyed that he’s not living up to expectations but I’m not really sure what they expected. He’s a good passer and imo would be pretty decent in Kerr’s position but I think they’ve been playing him further forward. Might be totally wrong btw. Their team is littered with a bunch of absolute sand dancers and shitebags that they thought would stroll that league. Totally the wrong approach from McKinnon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 McCall was always good with those type of signings (with a couple of exceptions). But can Kerr recreate that success?McCall's record with young players surely has to be classed as exceptional, will be very hard to replicate. With older ones not so much, always a bit hit and miss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be actively letting anyone go unless there’s a ready made replacement to take his place. Robbie Neilson said he hoped to have a player signed by next weekend, hope it isn't Forrest. We're already down Ross, Adams and Murdoch since the summer in what was already a small squad, we could potentially be losing Doc early and Kerr is looking to be playing less and less. I'd say it would be an act of sheer lunacy to let anyone (including Doc) leave before we've brought in at least three new faces who would all be immediately ready for first team action........... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plucking Michael Rose out of Aberdeen’s development side was a stroke of genius and I’d be amazed if we did a deal as successful as that so soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure every manager he's played under was sure they could get the best out of him, but the fact he must be nearing double digits in clubs show he's a lost cause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 Who's the Ross County boy?Not sure who it is but apparently he was one that fell through because Draper got injured and he had to step in. If I had to guess it would be Harry Paton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with Rose he wasn't an instant success. I guess that's more expected with young players. In his first season I was not convinced but he was getting played in centre midfield and not starting games. His second season when we won League One he was immense though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick that one out Marshall Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I have also just heard the very sad news. A true Ayr United legend in his day. An absolute gent. RIP Danny you will be missed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sankasouthy Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 RIPI remember watching Danny give a young Alex McCleish and Willie Miller a hard time at Somerset one night. He was a big, hardy ex-miner fae Muirkirk. Think Davie Wells and Joe Fillipi played that night as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I know we’re only a week into the window, but the lack of movement and rumours is worrying. Kerr needs a good window. Maybe the post will shed some light today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has only been about 3 transfers done in this window so far , a lot does not happen to round about 12/13th as that’s when most premiership clubs return from winter break and decide who they are realising or putting out on loan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 There were a lot of rumours about who we were signing last January and it ended up a pretty disappointing window so maybe Kerr is just trying to keep everything under wraps for now. A wee signing this week wouldn’t go amiss though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it was all down hill from there............ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutting to lose him, but probably for the best for Jamie given he has an already physical job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
