JrsLeftPeg Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 On the subject of centre backs, I am still really pissed of that Black went to Annan. Had high hopes for him here after seeing his fleeting performances Sent from my GT-S5839i using Pie & Bovril mobile app 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthetop Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I think Black made the right decision he needs to play football. You never know he might be back in the future a better player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos1990 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Don't think it was down to Queens to be honest, he wanted first team football wasn't going to get it. Hopefully it's a case of one step backwards several forward for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JrsLeftPeg Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 No disrespect to Annan but he is above that level and yes, I would like to see him back in the future. Sent from my GT-S5839i using Pie & Bovril mobile app 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkyblue2 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Maybe transfer requests are being shoved under his door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Flash Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Archibald said he would've wanted Dowie to stay at Thistle had we not been promoted so he rates him at that level. For me he was excellent against Morton with their long ball tactics but he has almost next to no pace and got burned a few times. As cover he will do a good job but I wouldn't like to rely on him for an entire season. Always puzzles me why most people want their forwards to have pace, but it is ok for defenders to have none.Have to think he'll be on bigger wages than Black was offered which means it is unlikely he will be back up. Wonder if it means Durnan is on his way, as others have said. There won't be an awful lot we can do if Johnston starts picking off the best players one by one. I know they are under contract. But so was Johnston. Of course, it hasn't actually happened, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Who Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I have heard rumours about us signing a keeper called Grant Adam who is Charlie's younger brother. Does anyone know anything about this? Is he any good? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starks mad Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 He was on loan at Airdrie last season cant say he was too impressive in games he played against Raith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Who Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 There must be some good keepers out there somewhere. I was hopeful that Jamie McDonald might have ended up at Queens but looks like he is staying at Hearts now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qos1990 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I've never seen Adam play but people I've spoken to recently don't seem to rate him. Slightly worrying thing for me is the fact McIntyre played chris smith in goals for Dunfermline 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Who Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Lee Robinson will be a hard act to follow. I reckon Johnston may have tried to sign him for Killie if he hadn't already gone to Sweden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islay Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 The comparisons between the signing of Dowie and the signing of Potter are eerily similar. No, they aren't. Dowie is a far better player than Higgins unless Higgins has managed to vastly improve his ability by playing at a lower level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
football maniac Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 How can a manager who has managed one club be seen to make predictable signings? Because every signing he made at Dunfermline were ones any fan could predict. Some managers prefer to sign young talent from the lower leagues or released by spl clubs or from further afield. McIntyre's signings were ones everyone was aware of and could easily be predicted. Would be difficult to find an example of a player he "discovered". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that was a trademark of McIntyres signings were that you never knew what he was going to do, there would be rumours but I can't think of any case during our first division time where the press or anyone else said they were about to sign, outwith Graham Bayne. Christ at one point he signed Joe Cardle and McDougall without Airdrie knowing. He does tend to sign players from around Scotland but I don't see how this is necessarily a bad thing, the team spirit was good throughout his reign and he improved the club season on season using his "predictable" transfers, I'm sure Queens won't complain if he does similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
