wellsince75 Posted Thursday at 06:27 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:27 PM Quite liked Wimmer outlining that he'll only bring in better players than the ones we've got. Very sensible. Only issue is he's happy with a lot of the player we have. Not as sensible. Overall signing c4 quality players in the transfer window also sounds sensible.

I think he'll sign more than 4 players, although it won't be a complete overhaul. If the squad, as is, can't play his intense high prerssing game, he'll bring in a few new faces to enable that change in style. Also, he won't want to upset current squad members as we still have 4 competitive fixtures to fulfil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he'll bring in players that are quite good and we do quite well. Time will tell i just hope heez got a wee trick ot 2 up his sleeve.

robsterwood Posted Thursday at 08:39 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:39 PM Disagree with the people that are against loan signings. We have had some good ones over years. Ruddy. Juitkewics, Biereth. All made big contribution to league position. Youth set up at present would not provide anywhere near that talent. Also other spl clubs taking advantage of having quality players that they couldn't normally afford. Owen Beck at Dundee. Dalby at utd. I got one would take either on loan.

I don't think anyone is against signing two or three quality players on a Loan basis. Like Beck and Dalby. The issue is making dozens of Loan signings who contribute zero, and in some cases feature for a few minutes at best before disappearing off the face of the earth. Of this season's batch, who do you think has been a success? Perhaps more to the point, who has failed to deliver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip, the issue isn't the loan signing....it's the quality of the signing. Furlong, Gent, lukas oh wowwwww, ruddy, biereth all great. Loans only highlighted when we sign bad ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But was rotten after that. Not selected even when fit. Possibly because defensively he was a liability and he lost the ability to cross a ball. Seemed to get better the less he played.

thewelllfan Posted Friday at 10:57 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:57 AM Of our 10 loanees only maybe 5 have been in any way useful. Taveres, Dickson, Plange - been completely pointless signings Vale - Was good last season but been injured majority of the season Mair and Balcombe - served a purpose as Ox and then Mair got injured. Watt, Armstrong, Andrews, Kaleta - all had a couple of decent performances but not been consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly!blows my mind reading I would give him another year or two one good game in about 19 games and it merits a contract. No value in signing him whatsoever and not telling me we can't get our hands on a younger version that has the same attributes nah we have enough retained now the rest can leave let's just build around what we have and push on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed,we've had as good out of watt as were ever going to get,there's no reason whatsoever to take him on permanently.theres no way we will be going with umpteen forwards again next season and with robinson and maswinise already signed up for next season the scope for making the required changes is already limited.we need to freshen it up and hope we can get someone in that can perform on a more regular basis than watt has this season.

Yir Elder Posted Friday at 09:57 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:57 PM I think it's safe to say that the transfer activity this summer will make the Harri Kampman signing purge of 1998 look like a quiet pre-season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted yesterday at 04:56 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 04:56 PM Us fans will always get excited with new signings over keeping known quantities, despite the fact that we could end up signing the Austrian Harry Paton or German Tony Watt. We need squad players, and those two are just that, and ideally we can have a couple of our young players supplement the squad rather than bringing in the likes of Davor and Moses. I'm fine with keeping a core of players from this season for continuity, and also manage the risk of brining in too many unknown quantities. There's no player outside of Miller that I'd care about losing, but none that I'd be furious about keeping either. I doubt we will mutual any injured player, unless we're generous with the payoff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id be quite happy to see both kept on. Keep seeing comments on social media to the effect of there's going to be a complete clear out at the end of the season - that won't be happening According to someone on Facebook tonight Aston is rubbish and Carson is miles better. I like Carson but sometimes I don't know what it is fans want or expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
