HamCam Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Groundhog Day. The buzz of excitement around MCT taking over is in danger of fizzling out. Gus will need to pull something out the hat to get the fans to believe because what we have right now is a core of players that achieved 9th last season.

Potentially worse than last season seeing as we've lost players we'd have debatably like to have kept and re-signed ones we should've punted. Grim, depressing stuff indeed. We've punted Sean McGinty, at least that's something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamOakTree Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Just trying to calm down and recover from the underwhelming recent signings. Trying to read Gus McPherson’s mind, I can grasp a thread of why he can see some hope for Muirhead and possibly Oliver. I read Muirhead’s interview on re-signing, and note he says himself he’s not been right for 3 years but feels he may have turned a corner now as he felt back to himself the last few games. This would surely have come into his discussions with McPherson that could've led Gus to put his faith in him as our No. 9. I think Gus also realised Oliver can contribute better in a front three but not on his own. With Blues it’s a bit of a mystery to me but perhaps Gus sees something in him in the more advanced position he used him in during the play-offs. Maybe I’m clutching at straws here but I’m hoping our new manager has sound reasons for these decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weatherson was a better player and goalscorer all over the pitch than anyone currently contracted with this football club. Peter Weatherson is the greatest player since Ritchie, and should be assigned 'chairman for life' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_M Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I like how they seem to be strategically drip feeding the re-signings. It's as if they believe it will have more impact that way, expecting each of their big, positive announcements to be met with renewed fanfare rather than prolonging the misery and disappointment. Looking forward to today's big reveal of Butler's new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was still entirely accurate though and yours is also correct but I'd probably have made a decent fist of matching our strikers goal tally last season so its not saying much.

DreamOakTree Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Any news on whether Gus is in talks with McAdam, Ledger and/or Colville? Either there’s no sense of urgency or they’re still on holiday or weighing up options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcC1874 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Let's just hope the next signing is someone half decent. So far we have signed an ex sex offender who was injured for most of last season and a few re-signings who are mostly duds, excluding Kyle Jacobs. Good old Morton never fail to dissapoint.
