TONofmemories Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Interesting that this comes after the announcement of new partnership. Hope there's funds for a player or two and we might do ok this year. Dundee game a prime example. Competent goalscorer on the pitch we win that game TIME FOR CHANGE!

Greacen2000 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 The gaffer mentions in his pre match interview that we were close to signing an international striker this week but that it looks like it’s fallen through due to work permit issues. I’m assuming by international he means foreign/overseas based as opposed to an actual internationalist. Either way it’s very promising news as it confirms that funds have been made available for further additions to the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Blue Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Would Poplatnik (sp) need a work permit as he played in Scotland last season?

An actual international would be a nice novelty but the kind of player who'd come to our level wouke be likely to disappear for various snidey Afcon things and Concacaf kickabouts. I'd prefer we stuck to someone from a country that's real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madton Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Linked with Nicky Low again, not in their squad today and a few Arbroath fans have heard he's coming to us over on pandb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Is Low a creative/attacking midfielder? If true, could be looking at Low, Gillespie and Crawford as a 3 which would be decent at this level given Gillespie’s start to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be top heavy with central midfielders if that was the case. Blues, Gillespie, Crawford, Lyon and possibly King already there. Low would be a good signing but id rather a striker first There's a storm on the horizon And for that I can't see the sun For I'll keep a waiting on the pavement For the ice cream van to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer we stuck to someone from a country that's real. David Galtieri or we riot. In all seriousness, if there's actually truth in the Low rumour rather than this being Arbroath fans having a massive panic about him being left out the squad with a minor niggle and doing 2+2=1922 this would be terrific. Assuming that still leaves the funds for a centre forward too, a Gillespie-Crawford-Low midfield three is a big upgrade on what we have and would give us depth with King, Blues, Lyon and McGrattan as cover. You'd have to wonder how much time McGrattan would get though and if he'd possibly be going on loan in that scenario, but either way the squad would be miles ahead of where it was just two weeks ago with Crawford, Low and a centre forward in.

macca937 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Low has left Arbroath. Hearing we offered the 20k few weeks ago that Arbroath were looking for, they turned it down. The boy is Morton daft and was app promised they would release him if ft football was offered, hope it works out . Cracking player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so72 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 You never want to get carried away with Morton but if Dougie's new deal is followed by Low and a striker then it really would be a sensational couple of weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, could be looking at Low, Gillespie and Crawford as a 3 which would be decent at this level given Gillespie’s start to the season. I would say so, he sometimes sits pretty deep but can pick out a great long pass, Charlie Adam-esque. He can also drive forward and has a good shot at goal in him.
