CM. Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 McBride is only a Blackburn u23 player so doubt that one's costing QP an arm and a leg tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has spent some time training with Benfica and other clubs like Bayern Munich have been watching his progress. Time will tell whether he can continue to improve and take his game to a higher level, as the football world is littered with promising youngsters who fail to make the grade. Good luck. Keep us updated with his progress. I came here to say this, too. I think you've won a watch with Dylan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Griffiths looked like he'd rather be anywhere else than a football pitch when we played Dundee the other week. A shame given the player he was in his prime, but I don't think I'd be throwing silly money at him if I were you guys. A change of scenery and being taken out the limelight might be what he needs...But I'm not sure it's worth the gamble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an86 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) A fit, sharp baggage free, arsed Leigh Griffiths wouldn’t even be entertaining the prospect of QP. Does he even exist in 2022? Now, I’ve stood and cheered the guy on for Scotland after he’s acted like a w**k, so I can’t sit and pretend not to be a hypocrite, but I’m thinking more of how it squares with what the club wants to be and how we would address the inevitable questions. ”Rudi Skacel is a fucking refugee” chanting. “Go back to your own country ya clown” to someone from Livingston. Extremely questionable behaviour last summer. It doesn’t have to have been criminal to be extremely questionable. That’s before we even start with him being a terrible professional. Think it’d be a mistake to be seduced by shiny big names. For me, the guy is very probably on the Riordan trajectory. The baggage doesn’t even come with guaranteed success. It would be a gamble and one the club should be thinking about very carefully for a number of reasons.

Zanetti Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 While Griffiths has obviously struggled for Dundee this season, there's a massive difference between playing for a bottom of the table premier league club who create very little going forward, and dropping down to a League One side who often control games but simply fail to take their chances. I doubt he'd be particularly cheap, and there's obviously baggage that comes with him, but I'd be shocked if he wasn't more than capable of scoring plenty at this level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 He’s probably going to be on the end of a lengthy ban after the Procurator Fiscal have cast their eye over his smoke bomb booting at Dens as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qpfc Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 If we ended up with Griffiths, it’s either going to be a masterstroke or an utter horrific signing, no in between. It’s been said for years now that a fit Leigh Griffiths will score goals anywhere but it’s quite clear now that he’s at a stage where there’s a genuine chance that he won’t be a full time footballer within a year or 2 from now, which follows the Riordan trajectory He’s not going to be cheap and there’s obviously baggage that comes with this but if (and that’s an extremely big if) he screwed his head and stayed out the limelight for 6 months then he should be more than capable of banging in the goals at this level as his ability is undeniable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably your best still moment to see our formation. Gillespie and Luca sitting. The line of three in front then Bob pushed up further. It's 4-2-3-1. Regardless, it doesn't work effectively anyway.

Why would you want to sign a player who clearly isn’t interested in being a professional I'd just like to put it on record that the Daily Record isn't the approved outlet for Queen's Park's transfer deals. Although anything's possible at our club these days. More likely they're framing a "Hoops" story. Can't see it myself. So it'll probably happen. Or not. But as our strike force collectively can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo, he's well worth the risk. The kids we just brought in need to learn from someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And therein lies the rationale behind a 4-3-3 formation - its flexibility to adapt to a particular passage of play. Am sure if you took a still of, say a corner, the players would not be lined up in an easily identifiable 4-3-3 formation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
