Two signings on a Friday night to kick-start the weekend Wonder if the 7pm signing will be someone more experienced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoveRangers1922 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Afolabi. Know he didn't get rave reviews at Ayr but in L1 could be a very decent signing. Another striking option to go with Gal, Allan, Smith. Better depth in that area than us I would say.

itzdrk Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I think he might be salvageable, came into Ayr at a bad time and we didn't play to his strengths. How much was a lack of ability isn't clear. Worked hard IMO but was chasing aimless punts and trying to hold off two defenders with nobody supporting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I'm chuffed with that signing. I'm sure Celtic had high hopes for the boy when they signed him so you'd expect him to do well in League One based on that alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Reed Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 1 hour ago, Mr November said: Justin Devenny, a midfielder on loan from Kilmarnock. Fair play, I have absolutely no idea who he is but a backup option there isn’t the worst thing. He won’t offer any less than Caves or Ritchie anyway but not quite the game changing signing I was hoping for. Signing a midfield youngster, doesn't offer less than Caves or Ritchie fills me full of hope, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_H Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Devenny, bit of a mystery signing, not sure what the benefit is other than someone to keep the bench warm, but who knows? happy to be proven wrong. Afolabi; Celtic signed him on a 3yr contract in 2019, so must be in the last 6 months of it, and at 22 playing on loan and for reserves - surely must be coming into the squad looking to get clubs interested in him for next season. Seems to have done very well at youth level but middling for senior teams (I guess Ayr didn't fancy him and sent him back as wikipedia has him on a season long loan?). 6ft 2, could be a physical presence? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Afolabi was shite but who knows how he’ll do in the seaside leagues. Isn’t quick, doesn’t really shoot well, doesn’t hold the ball up either. Not sure why we signed him tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your summing up is true I can't imagine, maybe make Jack McKay signing look good, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Looked like he'd never played football before in what I saw of him. Maybe you'll get a tune out of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr November Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I suppose the positive thing is our style of play is pretty much the opposite of Hopkin/Duffyball, so Afolabi not fitting in at Ayr might not mean too much for us. We definitely needed another forward option so I’m pleased to get someone in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr November Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I could just about handle Rhys McCabe playing at centre back as number 7 but I’m not having a striker as number 2. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 It’s worth remembering that there seems to be a fairly big jump from League 1 to the Championship for strikers in particular. Countless players who have scored 15-20 odd+ in the third tier who’d go on to score about half a dozen in the league above. Not saying Afolabi will be banging them in every week but if he can at minimum offer us a physical presence in the box (something we’ve badly missed without Salim or McGill) and work hard, we do have a team that will provide him with plenty of service. Can’t really comment on Devenny but Murray has done well out the loan market throughout his spell at the club. Even recently there’s been games where we’ve had no options or ability to change games off the bench. So if he can even provide that he should prove to be a useful addition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossm25 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Will judge them once I've seen them play, good to get in some reinforcements in though , hopefully gives us that wee but extra to at least try and push cove. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Good to see big Afolabi passes the ‘has he played for Dunfermline or the Leeds United youth team? test’ all of our signings go through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUcal Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 For what it's worth, despite his shiteness with us, when we signed him we had both Dundee and Dunfermline fans saying they thought there might be a good player there somewhere. He never really showed anything for us but I hope he kicks on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
