Chesh Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I imagine hoppy must have some knowledge on at least one of the players or did they join after he left. In gonna complain until I see both in action. Im making perfect sense, your just not keeping up.My Twitter - https://twitter.com/RJChesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 CVs look totally dung and Livingston fans seem delighted and amazed that their club has got some real, actual money for getting these players off the books as well. I'll be filing them under the 'Orsi' category of signings for now then. If that's our permanent business done for the window then I'm extremely underwhelmed by the quality of our squad to say the least. The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before.. So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away.

Hej Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 So we paid a transfer fee for someone? He'd better be fucking good. On a one year deal as well. Hope it was a nominal fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 One of the Livi fans on P&B says it's a fee and a sell-on clause for Henk. A sell-on clause for a player on a one-year deal? Presumably that means there's some kind of extension clause in there. Signing what is effectively a Berwick player is a good fucking laugh. Still, Hopkin was brought in to wring blood from a stone, as it were, so here's hoping he's picked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 OK, but at least let us see what they do before passing judgement. Q: Do you preach the avoidance of 'passing judgment' whenever the club signs a player - including ones with a clear pedigree - or does this golden rule only apply when they seem likely to be a total haddy?

dunning1874 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 You’d imagine we’ve still got one more centre back to come in at least. Never heard of Van Schaik but I imagine Blues is primarily here as cover - we didn’t really have a creative central midfield option. For all that you’d expect any undisclosed fees we’re paying to be along the lines of the monopoly money we got from Livingston for Tiffoney, you’d hope that Hopkin knows any player we’re paying actual money for well and is certain he’ll be good enough rather than being a gamble.

dunning1874 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 On the face of it I was concerned about having two centre backs who played for Dumbarton last season considering they conceded 60 goals in League One, but it turns out they didn’t lose a game with either McLean or Van Schaik in the team so we’ve nothing to worry about.

TRVMP Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Indeed, and in those six games in which Henk played, they managed over zero* clean sheets and conceded fewer than nine** goals, so we're laughing. *one **eight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmfc_craig Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Cameron Blues on loan from Livi, centre mid previously with Falkirk Henk Van Schaik Permanent deal, we’ve paid a undisclosed fee. I just hope he's not another Tony Wallace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I know absolutely nothing about these signings, so am trusting the manager at this point. The Dutch lad’s club history does not make for good reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRVMP Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Hasn't all of his teams apart from Dumbarton for a few games been at a higher level than us? Yes, and he had a glittering career at each of them. He was actually ever-present for Twente in the 2017-18 season, this coming after his debut campaign at ADO Den Haag where he scored 6 Eredivisie goals and won Player of the Year. For Livingston he walked off the pitch to sounds of applause at full-time in a heroic home draw with Celtic. Frankly I'm surprised they let him go at any price.

Discounting similarly brief loan spells, such luminaries as Jamie McCormack, Joe McKee and Andrew Dallas had also only been on the books of clubs at a higher level than us. No one’s saying he’ll definitely be shite based on his lack of experience, but let’s not treat being at a higher level and making no more than one token sub appearance by the age of 21 as a good track record ether.
