The General Ross County Chat Thread


Recommended Posts

Can't say I'm too disappointed.

He transformed the team at the start of the year, when he was used as a forward playing on the wings and who went beyond the striker. It made such a difference to the team, who were badly missing pace and directness. This season, he had been used almost exclusively as a chalk-on-the-boots winger, which he wasn't too hot at and it's completely understandable why he fell out of favour at Hibs. When he wasn't a goal threat he was a passenger in the team, although the first 45 in the abandoned St Mirren game showed he can play at times.

The red cards at Forres and St Mirren were extremely poor, but it's his play compared to the impact he had last season that makes me not so sad to see him go.

I'm sorry to see him go, his performances had improved in recent weeks. It has been obvious ever since Pittodrie that him and Adams didn't particularly like each other though.

It's tough for two petulant childish people to get on.

"Sproule asked for his contract to be terminated, now 3 other players wanting out. What is wrong at Ross County?"

Pish or not?

:lol:

I'm not fussed about Sproule leaving. He's been notably pish this season (45 minutes vs Saint Mirren in Paisley aside) and I still can't get over that horrendous tackle a couple of weeks back. Is he any better than Maatsen now? Probably not.

I wonder if his hamstring went on his way out the door?

The rumours of the mass fall out have came from a Twitter account that gives the inside scoop on both clubs. Posts wild rumours then deletes the ones that don't come true.

Ivan was good for us, but as previously stated he hasn't been that good this season, and if he couldn't use his pace to beat a player he was severely limited. I would have liked to have seen him play through the middle instead of Ross, Luckassen etc.

Edited to add: The twitter account also posts his factual rumours well after the fact as well. The Sproule one today was posted after Jailender already posted it.

Seems like the type who'd fit in with how we try to play just now so I wouldn't be all that surprised if we went for him. I'd probably prefer that we signed an out and out winger to allow us to mix up play a bit, but Sproule would certainly be an upgrade on Christie Elliott and, the way things have been going this season, Stevie Lawless too.

He's going back to Northern Ireland. He's not in the market for another Scottish club.
