Comrie Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) I'm in two minds over Draper. He's big, strong and likes a tackle, which is something we don't have in a sometimes lightweight midfield- the odd kick out from Woods doesn't count as tough for me, but on the other hand it's Ross Draper. I wouldn't be impressed if we spent much money on him, there must be better about surely. Edited July 3, 2017 by Comrie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Despite the claims from Robbo that no one is for sale it's pretty clear that we are trying to offload high earners and if a reasonable bid comes in for Draper he will be off. It would be an absolute minter for ICT fans if he departed for Ross County. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be an OK signing, but there's no chance he's worth £50k at his age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 £50k would surely be more than enough to bring a better player than Draper to the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Could probably sign Richard Brittain for that amount. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 http://www.rosscountyfootballclub.co.uk/news/archive/breaking-news-jamie-lindsay-joins-the-club-on-loan-from-celtic-fc-until-the-end-of-the-season/ Looks like you guys signed Jamie Lindsay on loan for the season. He did well for Morton last year so I think this will be a good signing for Ross County. He's one of those lads who isn't quite Celtic material but could become a solid player for other Premiership sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Had a quick look and seemed to do well at Morton- is he a more attacking or defensive minded midfielder? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Got yourselves a great wee player there. Was hoping we might get him back but suspected he'd have Premiership offers. He was outstanding for most of the season for us, covered every blade of grass and formed a good partnership with Andy Murdoch. He tailed off in the later months of the season and found himself out of the team, but no one was really performing in that period. Tremendous work rate, and he can pick out a pass as well. As noted above, he's not quite Celtic quality but he'll definitly be an asset for other top flight clubs for years to come. Wish him all the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsism Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 He was Dumbarton Young Player of the Year in 15/16. Glad to see he's been given a chance in the Premiership as he's a non-stop worker in the middle of the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I'd have loved to have Lindsay back but getting a Premiership club was always likely. While being a defensive midfielder meant he didn't receive as many plaudits as more creative players, he was my player of the season and he's the one player we had last season who I was convinced could handle the step up to the top flight no bother. His positional sense & awareness are excellent and while he could do with adding a bit more creativity to his game, he's still competent at keeping possession ticking over. He's not in any team to create chances, doing the defensive work is his game and he does it extremely well. As others have said, he's not going to be good enough for Celtic but there are plenty of reasons to believe he's capable of being a solid Premiership player for years to come. Good luck to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he's an Irvine-like project, if playing in a different position. If he's any good, I'd be amazed if this wasn't a loan with a view to a permanent signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more a question for the Morton thread than here, but what do you think of Ricki Lamie? Watching Morton last season (father-in-law is a Morton fan) I thought he looked a great prospect and was keen to see us linked with him, but you'll have seen him a lot more than me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's improved in every season with us and at 24 could improve further, but I'd be surprised if he ever became more than a solid second tier defender. He's pretty much entirely cut out errors from his game to the point that he's unrecognisable from the player he was when he first signed for us, but I'd still file him under 'competent but unspectacular'. Although he's prone to lapses in concentration, I'd say Lee Kilday's a better defender. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a season of watching Jay McEveley, watching a young composed left sided centre-half who has "pretty much entirely cut out errors from his game" felt very special. Must have been how Page felt watching Plant for the first time, if he'd spent the previous 9 months listening to Katie Price.

Jayhawks Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 If we did offer £50k for Draper then I despair. However, I had the opportunity to see Jamie Lindsay play for Morton (albeit only once) and he looked an real prospect- looks to work his socks off and can see a forward pass before most. It is a big step up for him but a great chance nevertheless, I hope that given a wee bit of time and encouragement he will be a significant signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll help out with the arithmetic and for the purposes of this thread we can place him at twenty eight years of age. I know not if these are Saudi Arabian years and whether his agricultural approach would find favour. I'd be sure to tune in to any games versus Aberdeen in the hope that a penalty "won" will once again send Richard Gordon into a rage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
