Ferry, Trapanovski, Babunski and VdS all good signings, Stephenson and Adegboyega look promising, . Who knows with Sevelj and Richards. Looks better than a 50% hit rate even at this stage though, which is decent. I think Sevelj has shown enough to suggest he'll be a decent signing, even if he ends up just being cover for 2 or 3 positions. Dalby is a strange one. Presumably there's more to his game than goalscoring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalby is a strange one. Presumably there's more to his game than goalscoring. It's another proper centre forward. Game changed completely last week when we went 352, albeit that was immediately after we scored. I thought VDS and Moult did well as a two but you can't really go with that sort of formation on a regular basis with only two centre forwards in the first team squad. It's another body to play that formation. Can't argue that we do look dangerous with the 343 but we also look incredibly open. I think once the dust settles we'll see five in midfield more often and we'll need another centre forward to do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majority of the signings so are big upgrades on the former players. Jury out on Odada and not seen the new winger yet though. It's only the centre midfield area where we are a bit light in IMO but hopefully Odada isn't a dud. Would love us to have another CB in as Holt, Gallagher and Graham are all rather 'meh' and have already costed us some really stupid goals. Can see at least two of them becoming subs and we sign someone in Jan Edited September 1 by Butters Scotch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all means wish him all the best if he is going to a club outside of Scotland but losing your best player to one of the arse cheeks for a low offer doesn't necessarily constitute a congratulations in my eyes but you lot do as you wish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think that? Goodwin has been playing with the 3 CB's throughout this season and the recruitment team have been targeting specific players for each position on the face of it. Only way he is going to change formation is if our system has been rumbled and we hit a bad run of form IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't say 1.5 million was a low offer for a player with a year left, also, the arse cheeks are not a direct rival like say, if he'd gone to Hibs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was around 1m? I wasnt having a go at the offer by the way, it's the best Scottish clubs can do when players are in their last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. Those 2 are direct rivals. You draw them in the cup and they become direct rivals in a competition that you (we) have at least a chance of winning. We done it when we sold Celtic Armstrong and GMS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be absolutely not premiership quality Graham with 3 clean sheets and a couple of match winning goals to his name so far this season. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a boy, huge fist pump towards the fans at the end, he gets it. That's surely the first choice back three sorted, hopefully Gallacher can stay clear of injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
