Unless Brechin are being really ambitious why would they have made him an offer? Maybe the Record mean he turned down an offer from Morton? Why not, if you only go for players at your level, that's where you stay (at best). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 The deals not done yet and we're only going by a newspaper rumour from the Daily Record, think we should just wait and see if it actually happens. There's still an opportunity for someone else to come in and pinch him, if there even is a contract from us on the table for him. If the Ayrshire Post has this possible deal in it then it'll be more believable. The daily record run the Ayrshire post I think 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Guys like Lamie and O’Ware were in that same side and got big moves. According to some Morton fans Murdoch is just as big a miss as those two and think he can play at a higher level. Yes, Lamie and O’Ware moved on whereas Murdoch was released. I said he would be a great signing, however if you look at the facts he was released by a lower end team in this league last season so why wouldn’t Brechin take a punt on getting him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 If we get the players linked and Ferguson signed back up we are looking at a squad like this personally it looks pretty good to me I'd hope with this lot we would be top half not fighting relegation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 As long as we finish higher than 9th I'll not be caring. Anything else higher than 8th will be a bonus IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being positive, honestly I'd take 8th right now but we have a settled squad and with a few additions McRorie, Murdoch and Harvey I think we can do better than settle for a relegation dog fight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly much stronger than the likes of Alloa and QoTS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuffster Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Will there be highlights [mention=13350]wuffster[/mention]? Not from me I'm afraid. Hopefully normal service will resume for the League Cup (unlike last year when I managed to miss the Killie game!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I genuinely like Ayr especially with all the ex pars players and McCall but being honest the championship is a major step up for the majority of that squad the age they are at. Shankland, McDaid and Moffat could push for top half but the rest no. The last time you had some real quality in harkins and still you weren’t good enough. Would be good to see Ayr stay up though, proper football side and an oldskool ground that you hardly see any more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good to see Ayr stay up though, proper football side and an oldskool ground that you hardly see any more. The last time we weren’t far away and had zero pace whatsoever anywhere. Harkins was rotten and Nicky Devlin was our best forward player from right back. I wouldn’t really disagree with the players you have mentioned. I would add Crawford to that list. Others have potential to do so - mainly Moore and Rose. We would need to get another couple in that are capable of that level, e.g. Harvey and Murdoch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Forgot about Devlin, probably the best full back outside of hibs that season. I see he’s played an entire season for Walsall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he seems to have done well! Always knew he would, improved the defensive side of his game hugely in his last couple of seasons for us. Despite some of our fans saying he was caught out of position too often in his last season - as he was single handedly trying to provide us with an attacking threat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with you having a far stronger squad than Alloa and I can see you finishing above Qots, what other three sides are you then finishing above though? 11 minutes ago, No_Problemo said: The last time we weren’t far away and had zero pace whatsoever anywhere.

I still don't get the hype with Crawford at all tbh, I wasn't particularly keen on the idea of is signing McDaid either. Couldn't comment on Rose and I've not really seen Moore since he had that head injury. There's allot to be said for keeping a settled squad from a winning season, however over a season, and when you hit a rut I can see the lack of quality starting to shine through. In highlights your defence(All of it, not just the keeper) looked an absolute shambles, are Bell and Adams good enough for this level? Geggan looked howling in the playoffs, that midfield looks really similar to the one that didn't do great at this level a couple of seasons ago, but with added Kerr who really struggled last season. Upfront you look good though, while Shankland didn't do great at the championship last time people seem to forget that it was considered a coup for St Mirren to get him because he'd done really well on loan with them. I'll have a physical confrontation with anyone that doesn't appreciate Moffat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
