Kids are going to be so confused when a guy from the 6th tier of English football jumps out of cake at the open day on Saturday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people keep talking down the English National league as if it's an amateur league completely full of diddy's etc ? Dipo ? Tommi ? I'm pretty sure most of us would be overjoyed to find another guy similar to that !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could also look at "proven" Scottish Championship stars such as, Joe Chalmers Tom Walsh Cameron Salkeld Markus Fjortoft Aiden McAdams Or, our Slovakian Premiership imported dumpling ? and of course for ever McInroy or Doohan, you end up with a couple of Afolabi's. It is what it is, You'll get some guys who'll excel without a real pedigree and you'll get guys who come with a big reputation who end up as dumplings, it's just the way of it at EVERY level of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Salkeld and Fjortoft were not proven Championship players. If you think they were, then you can get in the sea along with Hopkin and Duffy. I actually agree with the point you are making but you undermine yourself with hyperbole like the above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Signing players from the London/English lower leagues is fine. It lacks excitement and comes with loads of risk. Signing players who are established in Scotland and have a good reputation tick both the boxes. We aren't doing the latter much at all, Jamie Murphy aside, two lower league players we hope to develop and some speculative efforts from down south doesn't scream intent to me. Currently, since this project began, we have cleared out Gondoh and Kenyon. McAleer, ,Maguire and Young were well below average. JML, Ashford and Bangala could depart without any protest. Dempsey, Tomi, Dipo and Albinson have been the rare successes. Kirk and young were loans from Premiership teams. So we have a 4/11 success rate to bring competent, consistent footballers to the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By my reckoning in the last two seasons we have signed Musonda, Chalmers and Mullen from Scottish clubs up until this window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, all good signings, but if we were shopping exclusively in Scotland we would still have a mixed bag, as we’d be taking punts on lesser fancied players up here rather than punts on lower league English players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gondoh was low risk, Kenyon was only signed for experience / dressing room on a short term deal, Maguire was a gamble but apparently low cost due to his predicament and both McAlear and Young were Loans that we know can go any way. Ultimately we stayed in the league the first year and finished 2nd the following year, so from a purely statistically perspective you'd have to say we've done ok in the transfer market. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay21 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Do we really care where a player comes from ? Every single player you sign is a risk , many established players have signed for other clubs and for varying reasons did not produce their previous standards , 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually argue the opposite as not knowing anything about them is exciting in itself, where as signing someone who's been kicking around Raith / Morton / Hamilton / Arbroath etc, etc brings very little excitement as we're already aware of what these guys bring and ultimately if they had done that well they wouldn't be going to Ayr, they'd be stepping up to the Premier or heading to L2 / L1 in England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
