David Posted January 31, 2024 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2024 17 hours ago, ForthThistle said: I’ve literally got the fear. The boy from st Mirren. Is that all we can muster in the time all other strikers are gone. miss management is an understatement. A few things on Stav Nahmani as a potential target. First of all, he's only just turned 21 years old. He's still young in football terms, so he's still improving. He's also not had much of a chance at St Mirren. He's only started two games or something like that. Also, how St Mirren play and how they utilise their strikers may differ from how we do. Also, we can only afford what we can afford. Finances and availability within the market during this window is a huge factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few on here who conveniently forget that fact and think we should be going for players way above our price range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I told you we were going to bring in a striker this window who was 27 years old and had scored over 50 goals in our top flight, you'd think that was a signing we didn't want or need?

Kmcalpin Posted January 31, 2024 Report Share Posted January 31, 2024 Whoever we do bring in, its vital that they have a good injury free record. The last thing we need right now is more permacrocks. That doesn't guarantee, of course, that they won't get injured in their first training session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair If we had a choice of players for starting strikers probably yes but as we are reliant on Bair a player of Brophy's experience would be welcomed, he's a step up in quality from the likes of Wilkinson, Obika and Shaw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted January 31, 2024 Report Share Posted January 31, 2024 4 goals in 19 for County and only 1 this season. It's not ideal but at this stage it could be a lot worse. I'd rather Brophy than the unknown 21 year old warming the bench at St Mirren. We need at least 2 strikers though, and I honestly have the feeling we won't get one.

Over 100 appearances and 29 goals at Killie , 7 goals at St Mirren and 4 so far at RC, he's worked out a damm site better than some of the alleged strikers we've recently had and still have.

grizzlyg Posted January 31, 2024 Report Share Posted January 31, 2024 Brophy is a striker so maybe a fresh move could see us benefit. I would rather take Simon Murray but no chance of that happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again you like to distort facts. He signed a pre transfer agreement with St Mirren so Killie opted to let him go on Loan rather than pay his wages to warm the Bench. His Manager said he would no longer be a first choice as he was leaving at season end. He had featured in most matches up to the January. Probably what you will demand regards Spittal if his St Mirren rumour is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc Posted January 31, 2024 Report Share Posted January 31, 2024 Is brophy not quite injury prone or am I making that up,he isn't somebody I would like to see us go for but we're almost at the point where anybody is going to be better than nobody.

No for me it will be the same as Lamie. There's no reason to drop him just as long as we don't resign the cunt.

We need someone in, we can’t just go with what we’ve got. And the social media team aren’t doing themselves any favours today by posting pointless guff when they know fans are waiting job signing being announced. They’ve not gone “coffee and a chat with x, y or z” quite yet but they would be as well not posting anything until they’ve got something to announce.

I'm hearing they're currently working with the legal department to tie up KVV on a three year deal with 80% of his salary being bonus payments for goals scored.

texanwellfan Posted January 31, 2024 Report Share Posted January 31, 2024 Lucas Ross is a goal about every 5 minutes. Why don’t we try him ? admittedly he’s only played about 5 minutes but he did score 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Brophy's goals for Killie were in the Premier. Every goal Shaw got for them was in the Championship, and he hadn't scored at all in over a year before coming here.
