frankthetank22 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Nice volley. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QhwUYsKf4s From the p&jRoss County have signed Fleetwood Town midfielder Stewart Murdoch on a two year deal.The 25-year-old midfielder graduated from the youth academy at Falkirk, enjoying loan spells at Berwick Rangers and East Fife before establishing himself as a key man in the Falkirk first team and then earning a move south of the border.Ross County sign Stewart MurdochMurdoch played a crucial part for the Cod Army as they won promotion to League One and then last season made a further 13 appearances for Graham Alexander while also spending time on loan at Northampton Town.At Fleetwood Murdoch largely played in a holding midfield role but at Northampton he was given the chance to play in a more box-to-box role – enabling him to score a stunning half volley shown in the video above.https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/spo...lf-volley/?

I also note we've been banned from seeing our new signing's jeans, so we don't know if he is able to dress himself or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Westander of County Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I heard today that the guy with the money at brora is pulling out end of next season and is to invest in county instead But we already have too much money. What's the point? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forkboy Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 So has Jim McIntyre just gone on holiday and Billy Dodds decided to steal the chequebook and surprise him with a whole new squad when he gets back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebonce Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Is he any good? A Hartlepool fan on their forum describe him as a headless chicken. There are similar comments there too, mostly about work rate ahead of technique. Perhaps it's another prong to SH's "team of Dunfields" fork, along with Holden, but 'a fringe of Dunfields' is probably more close to the truth. He suits the system. He's a wide forward who works his guts out and will protect the full-back well. I don't expect that he will be the first choice because of the quality of De Vita and Gardyne on the flanks (and with Dingwall in reserve). But I don't see it as a bad thing to have a player like him coming in, if the others have to match the workrate of the less glamorous workhorses to keep their place in the team. Ditto with comparing Curran to Graham up front. A couple of CBs next please, Billy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Are these not the kinds of signings who usually last six months and then leave? I think having cover for left back and left midfield is no bad thing - I see this chap as the new Joltin' Joe - usually a sub. I've never seen either of these characters so I wouldn't say they make up a team of Dunfields - Dunfield manifestly wasn't good enough and I wouldn't even say that about Curran anymore. The Hartlepool fans' views of these guys isn't inspiring, but who's to say they won't turn out to be a Craig Curran or Scott Boyd, I.e much better than advertised? On another note, Ronnie Moore seems like an arse, doesn't he? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneThrowAway Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Promising reviews on 'Franks' on the Hartlepool Forum. Described as "dogshit" and "garbage" ..... great! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gandosaur Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Jonathan Franks - one of those names that I instantly recognise as a football manager star. Used to get him on loan from Boro almost every time I was a Scottish club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 He (Franks) seems like an improvement on Cardle and Holden is an improvement on not having a second choice left-back. I'm reasonably happy if they are "squad" players as opposed to starting XI players. Murdoch isn't a particularly signing either but he might not be an automatic starter (see below) and the squad is needing filled out. I read elsewhere (the Championship forum) that Hibs are interested in Irvine. I'm still hoping that he'll be here next season. Other than that, I'm just wanting some new centre-backs (read: Songo'o + A.N.Other), like Bunglebonce and presumably everyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I saw the Irvine rumour on Twitter yesterday. Maybe that will appeal to him, and if he rejects the Celtic offer (if he thinks he won't get a sniff of the first team, as he hinted at in the press a few months ago), then Ross County wouldn't be able to compete in a financial drag race with Hibs. However, if he signs another 2-3 year deal with Celtic I still think he will be back on loan at County. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Westander of County Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 ?... I'm reasonably happy if they are "squad" players as opposed to starting XI players. Murdoch isn't a particularly signing either but he might not be an automatic starter (see below) and the squad is needing filled out. I read elsewhere (the Championship forum) that Hibs are interested in Irvine. I'm still hoping that he'll be here next season..... I'd expect Jim to only sign players he thought potentially better than what we have already - either now or with a bit of development time. Not sure if Irvine would be seduced by Hibs, cautiously optimistic that his happy experience here will clinch another season's stay. Plus no one else has his hair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
