Hoping he can show us what he’s capable of preseason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moses1924 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Looks like a good signing on the face of it, good to be bringing in a recognized striker to replace to Gal, wonder if @Jacksgrandahas any thoughts on Wilson as he keeps up with NI football I think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are probably other facets of his game that are not as good and unsure how NI League compares with ours (Andy Ryan was top goalscorer last year) but a good sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to get too excited until the ink is dry, as we know strikers in Scotland at all levels are like hens teeth these days, you see the apparent clamour for McGill that shows it and Ayr going big on Oakley.. The Irish league has more value and bang for your buck, Andy Ryan is still banging them in for champions Larne, Ben Wilson who scored 18 on paper should be an excellent signing, and we were apparently enquiring(in press) about David Fisher of Glentoran although they were looking for around 50k for him, Wilson had the best minutes to goals ratio in the league avg a goal every 60 minutes... It looks an important part of the jigsaw, if he signs that will be 19 what other areas do we need to strengthen... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I still think we could do with another forward of some repute, given we didn’t score enough goals last season. And will Wilson (assuming he does sign) and Reid get those 21 goals or more between them? Not sure! And that’s not taking into account whether or not Todorov scores his dozen or more again. Another proper centre-half to play beside Aidan Wilson has to be the other priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would hope Todorov could get 12-15 goals as he is likely to play more in the first half of the season than he did at the start of last season, hoping McStravick can get more as well if he gets a god run in the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking about a centre half, but with Rhys and ATS signed as players,, not sure if we will go down the new signing route for centre half, I still think an experienced midfielder to replace Telfer is needed, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If indeed Wilson does sign then the balance up front looks not too bad with him, 2 big guys Todorov & Reid and the pace of McGregor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Interested to see how he gets on. ~ average finisher who gets a lot of chances and does that translate to Airdrie in the Championship? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more his movement that I’ve been impressed with and that excites me. Finishing can always be improved on but a striker with movement like that is a bit harder to find imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliftonville have been a top 3/4 side in the NI Premier for as long as I can remember & would survive comfortably at Scottish Championship level were they playing here week-in-week-out. Larne & arguably Linfield could be bottom half SPFL Premier teams, the rest- Cliftonville, Crusaders, Coleraine, Glentoran are all about Championship standard. Looks a great signing for Airdrie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
