1320Lichtie Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 My point caller, is that Wallace is a striker who is not a prolific scorer of goals, and we already have a few of them and as stated in my original post (which you didn't understand) we need a guy. who can stick the ball in the net regularly. Therefore a guy like Wallace would not add anything to the teamCluelessWallace is class. No just at scoring at holding the ball up and making things happen. His technique at times is superb. Very good L1 striker who has still scored double figures I'm sure even when he bizarrely fell in and out the team at the turn of the year. Bobby Linn takes the pens too. No sure he'll be going to Airdrie mind you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Would never have had Wallace down as a league winner before this season, although always thought he was a decent enough striker at this level. But he's had a cracking season by all accounts at Arbroath. Can't see him coming to us if he's under contract as don't think we'd pay the required fee (I know we allegedly paid money for Page but that's probably enough to put the club off paying transfer fees for life) and he'd surely want another crack at the Championship. The only way I can see him coming here is if; Dick doesn't fancy him for the Championship or we're offering him a full-time contract and/or ridiculous money. I know he lives in Airdrie or is at least from there but he's obviously always been willing to travel throughout his career so far so not sure how much of a factor that would be. I definitely think he'd be an improvement on McIntosh and Duffy at this point. I've missed all the Raith games this season so don't think I've actually seen Wedderburn play before. He seems to have a mixed reputation there but he has spent most of his time in Scotland at a higher level. I think he would be an upgrade on Gallagher/Millar/Campbell/Conroy/McIntosh though. Again I don't think I've seen Austin play before but he's done very well at this level previously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have a great striker, but if nobody creates chances for him, gives him the ball, puts him through on goal, provides goal scoring opportunities, then he won’t score many goals will he? This season we did not consistently create opportunities. Wallace clearly does not play as an out and out striker on his own, thus his value to the team and contribution to Arbroath being promoted was his ability to create goal scoring chances for others in the team. Which they took. Meaning they won more games than us. I’d quite like someone like that in my team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I googled Airdries history I'm sure there would be a wee incident that happened in the early 2000s too so I'm not so sure you're in a position to have a pop at us [emoji51] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Wedderburn is a bizarre player. He seems like a lumbering oaf when you watch him but he'll happily Cruyff turn three players and get away with ease. He's more consistent than Gillespie but never outstanding. He's a standard midfielder for this season who I'd probably take in my team over any of Airdrie's current centre midfielders. And yet, even with him being link as leaving us I'm not too concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
