Nelson Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 1 minute ago, ryanayr1987 said: I disagree with Houston he really had the ability to do better than he has turned out to be. Injury really halted all development and he regressed horribly. There was a reason rangers had a buy back clause there Houston had a decent 6 months in a very good Ayr team - honestly not sure if his decline was due to injuries or if he just found his natural level. Scary to think our midfield during those 6 months included Steven Kelly, Alan Forrest, Luke McCowan, Ross Docherty and Mark Kerr. I think it’s pretty standard now for buy back clauses to be included - don’t believe for a second that Rangers ever thought they would activate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muZZa__44 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Hewitt to Hamilton was a strange move as even accies fan said they didn’t feel they needed another midfielder and it shows with under 20 Apperances this season and only 5 starts no doubt he probably can do a job in a mid table league 1 team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I don't mean to shit on the guy but I'm just not sure what Hewitt brings to the table. He's a sturdy big boy who likes a tackle but he's not good on the ball and can't play in the middle as anything other than a Shein version of Jamie Adams. He also lacks pace so he gets found out when played out wide. I think he'll probably be able to carve out a career in the bottom half of League 1/more likely League 2, possibly as a centre half but not in midfield. Anyway, have we signed anybody yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Hewitt not originally a right back that could play in midfield, or was he a midfielder that could fullback? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he was a RB in the youths although I think Cove last March was his first start for us in that position as he was played everywhere else. RB is probably one of the positions that has had a number of academy players feature. Hopefully Watret can develop and take his chance when it arrives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullen and the club had months to prepare for the windows and made a James Hunt of them, Brown had days in the tougher January window. It's pretty much a clean slate for this one.......not saying it'll be good. But we need to wait and see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 44 minutes ago, Finlay21 said: Let’s wait and see before being negative on signings this year I agree but surely you can see why fans would possibly be apprehensive? Our last few windows have been nothing short of a shambles. That being said if we’re targeting and signing players the calibre of Oakley then there’s reason to be optimistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coollestersmoothe Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I get that the last few seasons have been a slog in terms of signings. It’s been, barring a few exceptions, woeful. I’m surmising here, but I doubt that Brown would have come here without some form of guarantee that he’ll get backing and freedom in the transfer window to do some serious business. Can’t see him staking his reputation in the Scottish game and his future in management on the signings of some sub-Vanarama no marks. Give it a transfer window at least. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
