There's also chat of Siegrist mutualling his contract at Celtic, might be worth an offer. I'd imagine his wages would probably be too high for us and no doubt Hibs or Dundee United would be sniffing about. I wouldn't be surprised if we got landed with Scott Bain tho.

I would slightly counter that given he's not played for 2 years, we might be able to offer him what Kelly was on and guarantee him first team football.

weeyin Posted June 18, 2024 Report Share Posted June 18, 2024 There are plenty of good keepers across the UK that aren't getting a sniff of first team football. Hopefully we can persuade one of them a regular start is better than coaching the U18s. Even if it's just a loan deal (although those don't usually happen until later in the window).

I certainly wouldn’t complain if we were able to get him though, he’s a good solid goalkeeper at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I think Oxborough should get his chance, he probably should have had a run in the team last season when Kelly's form dropped so he deserves a run to show us what he can offer.

robsterwood Posted June 18, 2024 Report Share Posted June 18, 2024 I would rather we get decent keeper on loan from English championship or prem as has worked before or proven goalie in Scotland. Good at crosses. Commanding. Ox Wil be no 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted June 19, 2024 Report Share Posted June 19, 2024 Callaghan signed. 1 year deal. Honking. We need a decent player to play beside Miller. We have Davor, Paton, Halliday and Callachan who are all different colours of shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyMax Posted June 19, 2024 Report Share Posted June 19, 2024 Not usually one to jump on signings before they've kicked a ball, but that could at best be described as 'uninspiring'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted June 19, 2024 Report Share Posted June 19, 2024 Kettlewell will be away before Christmas. He's not got a clue what he's doing. Another 15 game winless run coming up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted June 19, 2024 Report Share Posted June 19, 2024 It's Obika part 2!! Let's sign a guy with injury record and give him a year option. Obviously will give him a chance but it really makes no sense at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted June 19, 2024 Report Share Posted June 19, 2024 Yeah I’m all for giving every new signing the benefit of the doubt and indeed I will give Ross Callachan the same but his injury record is concerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do sort of agree but the same could be said of when Bair signed. i don’t mind Kettlewell but I do think a big issue of having a manager who’s only had a couple of managerial gigs and only played at a low level in Scotland is that he has a real lack of contacts to get players. He must rely heavily on scouts who usually again have very little contacts in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just sign one decent player rather than Halliday, Callachan and Sparrow who will probably contribute heehaw? Kettlewell's squad building is mental. He brought in seven short term wingbacks last season as well as extending SOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate that Scottish football is getting worse year by year and we're relative to that in terms of budget, but overall we must have signed bucket loads of journeymen. Please note I'm not pointing any comment at any single player , it's more about the sum of all parts. Our perm signings since Dawes has come in have in the main been underwhelming. I just don't see any plan that gives me cause to think we're on an upward trajectory. I know Bair will be blasted back at me here, yes he performed well above expectations but in the whole we've not made many perm signings that have proven to be that valuable since likes of Spittal/Slattery arrived on the scene. I'd almost rather we brought in mainly loanees - they've been far better quality than most of the perm signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
