Well yeah, but he was also always completely ineffective as a centre forward. It’s not like that reality has suddenly crept up on us. Not at all sure that Rose represents a straight swap for Dipo - seems more like a faster more mobile type who’ you’d like to see playing off a strong target man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I love how every player we sign is brilliant based on a sliver of a stat or vid but every player other teams sign are shite based on the same criteria. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullen has said he wants more goals in the team and not to just have the one guy scoring, if Rose can get 10 to 15 and Murphy, Amartey, McKenzie and Fraser pick up 5 to 10 each and the midfield chip with some its going to be better than knowing stop one player you stop the full team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s not get too carried away with 5 - 10 for Bryden and McKenzie! I would be amazed if either got five league goals tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenzie has barely scored 10 goals in well over 100 appearances for the club, so not sure why he would suddenly become so prolific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like we didn’t have plenty of notice he’d be away. Did you not notice the saga in actually getting him a mutually beneficial transfer? Ayr punched above their weight last season. This season was absolutely never going to be a promotion push. The club took a part-time player for nothing and he carried them to a 500k prize packet before departing for half that again. There was no danger Ayr were going to use that money on transfers rather than dip into the same market for hidden gems again. [edit] Admittedly starting with Bryden and McKenzie after that really does show how lucky the club was last season. Hopefully Rose is the real deal.

No_Problemo Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I think my main concern is that we are soon going to be two league games into the new league season and where have we actually improved compared to our strongest starting side last season? As in the one with Chalmers. Murphy is an upgrade on Mullin, but that’s about it. Pendlebury might be a decent option, and is still young so plenty of hope there for the future but definitely wasn’t the central midfielder we needed if that was all we were planning on bringing in. In January last year we all talked about areas needing addressed, such as an attacking central midfielder and obviously the full back areas. Neither have been addressed. We really do have some serious business needing done, and soon. If we start with Bryden and McKenzie on Saturday, I’ll be amazed if we somehow managed to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
