It’s very slightly possible but I doubt it, as he hasn’t shown the technical ability to be able to play at this level as a striker and has a ton of development to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would benefit from a loan at a League 1 or 2 club this season I think. He would get more from that experience than coming off our bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally a top end league two club, as opposed to someone lower end league one IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ideally want to put him in a bad team that can't pass the ball and has little possession so is quite direct so that it represents what he's being built up to play in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, but I guess the argument is whether we will play like that forever and what is best for his long term development. Being a striker in our team is a very difficult role and requires someone pretty exceptional. Once Dipo goes I don’t see how that style works with the likes of Murphy etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For context this is significantly higher than both the current and historic age of actual fucking soldiers in wars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean such a "BAD TEAM" that managed to finish 2nd in the Championship ?? Raith Rovers were apparently "great to watch", unfortunately they still finished a full 15 points and 21 goals behind our own "bad" team. Then we had the much lauded Arbroath, they somehow managed to finish 24 points and 36 goals behind our "bad" team. One can only imagine what would have happened had our team been half decent last season........ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not entirely sure of the relevance of soldiers, and I can’t speak for anyone else. If someone is 18 and a very good footballer of course they can play in this league - I have never said otherwise. They need to be technically good enough though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Loving the idea that finishing second in the fucking Scottish Championship proves that you can’t have been a totally dogshit football team. This league is consistently full of absolute pish. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This league is consistently full of absolute pish. As alluded to, for some reason we got a soundbite reputation of being "a good footballing side to watch" despite having no centre forwards who were free scoring and a defence who conceded 19 goals at set pieces. There's so many pointless platitudes once people get an idea in their head. Ross Millen was probably one of our most consistent defenders last season but some folk still tried to insist he wasn't up to much because he gave away a penalty against Caley. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
