Les Westander of County Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Used to be. Couldn't keep a starting place in last couple of seasons here. Strangely made mistakes that he didn't used to make. Maybe lost his mojo or playing with injuries. I have no clue* *so bear this in mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Some chat on Twitter from Scandinavians in their native language about County possibly putting a bid in for Thomas Mikkelson, the target man who was on loan at Dundee United for the second half of last season. He scored seven goals for them, which wasn't too bad considering they had no width whatsoever. 500k in Danish kr almost equates to £50k. I'm happy with the Lindsay signing, he sounds like a classic McIntyre midfielder. I'd still like to see someone with a big amount of strength and mental fortitude in the middle and I'd be delighted with Draper signing - he might not be a pretty footballer but he is one of the best in the country at what he is good at. I wouldn't want the club to spend much if anything over 50k on that though. McIntyre said three or four signings, Kenny and Lindsay having since joined means that we're probably looking at a striker and another midfielder or winger... hopefully a midfielder and a winger. There isn't a heck of a lot of creativity in that team beyond Gardyne and Dow and on last season's form they will need reinforcements. I wonder what GMS is up to this summer.

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. I'm well aware he's 28. How many other Championship sides are selling players at that age for £50k? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea but he is under contract for another two years which would mean a heftier fee than £50,000 would be required to get him though I suspect it was perhaps a bit of a troll from RC. It's fairly gotten some of our support seething. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Mikkelsen seems like the sort of player Curran and Schalk could work if- I haven't seen him play but understand he's a fair size, Brian Graham height or so? Is he a target man or a less physical big man? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Anyone spotted any new faces in the La Manga tweets? I thought one was a big bald guy, but I think it's actually Davies with a hair cut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Lindsay sounds like a good signing. From the reviews on here he seems similar to Irvine (although perhaps more defensively minded?). Certainly a position that needs bodies and if he's an upgrade on Chow then that's terrific. As far as Mikkelsen is concerned, I don't know anything about him. But since Graham left last summer, we've been whinging (or at least, I have) about bringing in big carthorse of a forward. Boyce is irreplaceable so a bit of variety up front is welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm firmly in the pro-Graham camp, so let's see how this foreign version goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I wouldn't say that for sure, there was chat of him being better out wide than up top, so you never know. My shopping list is still: A replacement for McEveley (and to get rid of McEveley)... Meekings was mooted. Jim O'Brien, Draper or another central midfielder (and Woods to definitely be gone) A winger or two 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 If McEveley goes - and I haven't seen any indication of that anywhere - I don't think he needs replaced. Van der Weg can play centre-back proficiently, certainly in a back three, as can Fraser and Naismith. Kelly can too and has been described as such - I know there have been doubts about that but he played at CB in in his last appearance in Dingwall when St Mirren were under the cosh but still won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tintax Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Happy enough with the Mikkelsen signing. He will offer something entirely different to Curran and Schalk. As others have highlighted, the priority now is finding some creative midfielders/wingers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Worth reminding everyone Graham was allowed to go to Hibs on the basis that Morrison was going to be used more. Only a poorly timed injury prevented it from happening. Expect to see a lot more of him this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
