Templar Saint Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Any more players coming in do you think all went a bit quiet on the transfer front Tommy answered that on Saturday to BBC Scotland. Need some out to bring in. Probably youngsters on loan I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Hes previously said he still wants a defender and a striker, and we've since punted Sutton. The plan is to loan out one of Gordon or Gilchrist, with the other providing cover, although another arrival might change that. Thomson is another who could end up out on loan, but that might depend on how the new lads do and how quickly Wotherspoon returns. McCawl, Hunter and Hurst are all probably being offered around aswell, while McKays future is a bit of an unknown at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Can only recall him saying he wanted another striker. When did he mention a defender? He mentioned it in the courier a couple of weeks back. Wants a striker and 'in an ideal world' a defender. A right back seems most likely to me, given Joe is the senior back up just now, and Comrie will likely head out on loan again. I'm surprised there's not room for another striker in the budget regardless of loanees going out to be honest. We've got Sutton off the wage bill (albeit with a pay off) so his place is currently up for grabs I'd have thought? Think we'll most likely end up getting a youngster on loan from down south or one of the old firm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 think with cuptie getting close to fitness defensive we are covered think it will be a striker and possibly on loan maybe a striker that needs game time after a bad injury last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Center Half Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 think with cuptie getting close to fitness defensive we are covered think it will be a striker and possibly on loan maybe a striker that needs game time after a bad injury last season Is Cup-tie nearing fitness though, and will he get back up up to speed where we as a team are at the minute, these are my worry's with him, These have been two big operations on his hip I believe it must take a toll on him Dave not being any younger will take a bit longer to get back to speed, It showed how quickly it caught up with Fraz last season to become just of the pace of the SPL, hopefully Dave does comes roaring back and be as good as new but I am always wary of setbacks during training after a major operation wait and see I think , PS I think we are more likely to have Fisher back from Celtic for Right Back if we can entice them/him for another loan period. wait and see how it develops I suppose.

I'm a huge fan of Mackay but I just have a feeling that this operation and recovery is a step too far and felt that when the news of his operation was first announced. Of course his amazing recovery could have been kept under wraps and he'll unleashed against Brechin or Stirning. If he is fully fit he has to play. I also happily have Fisher back. Didn't think much of his defensive qualities when he came (and there's probably still some work to do there) but he was a huge asset to the squad towards the end of last season. But we did bring in Watson so he might be expecting to start a few games. Overall I'd be happy to go with a back 4 of Watson, Joe, Ando and Easton for the season with Scobbie and whatever young lads are left providing cover. We are missing a "head the baw" type player in the mould of Wright or Duberry which leads to our main weakness being at set pieces but surely the coaches will recognise this and put a little extra work in that area. ex-montrosesaintee and Center Half 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree and although it was a friendly I was impressed with Liam Gordon last week, he looked confident, quite physical and coped with all Bradford had to offer against him so yes quite happy to use the youngsters as you say.

Kyle Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 McKay could be the big no nonsense defender we're after, but his lapses in concentration and him thinking he's Baresi hold him back IMO. Even against Bradford - where he played well - 2 or 3 lapses nearly cost the team goals. I suggested right back because I'm not sure about Watson's fitness. He's already missed a competitive game through injury and will apparently miss tomorrow night too. Watson missing out means we've got to move Shaughnessy over to right back and replace Watson with a centre back, which unsettles the defence even more. Fisher would be absolutely ideal.

Guest ScottMann Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 McKay could be the big no nonsense defender we're after, but his lapses in concentration and him thinking he's Baresi hold him back IMO. How would he do further forward? A ball playing midfielder with defensive abilities. I know we're well off there this season but thinking more long term.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Joe is a more than adequate right back, and playing there makes his long throws a valuable weapon, but he's an outstanding centre half in the making, and has the potential to form a partnership with Ando that could last for as long as, and be as successful as the Frazer/Ando one was. I'm hopeful that Watson and MacKay between them can cover RB for the season, but that doesn't fill me with confidence as much as Easton and Scobbie being two excellent left backs. I worry about MacKay's pace for continuing at RB, and think against quicker counter attacking teams he might prove to be a weak link (despite his footballing abilities). I too would welcome Fisher back with open arms, because he could just be the final piece of a jigsaw to an exciting team.

RandomGuy Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Theres seems like a decent chance Fisher would be available, but he'll have a few options on I imagine we've signed Watson with the idea he's first choice. Personally, I'd assumed it would be a left sided central defender or left back. If Scobbie or Easton get injured we look very threadbare at left back, so an option there would be very handy.
