Even if someone comes in for Crawford, the gaffer is looked upon in high regard by his players. Anyone of note sign for any league rivals recently? Might be a sign of who we tried to bring in.

GiGi Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Said it hasn't happened and trying to resolve it, so probably just more negotiating to be done. 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...

RossMcC1874 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Be interesting to see who the last one or two players will be. Got to be probably 2 defenders I would think we are pretty strong everywhere else, not sure who is still a free agent who we could maybe look at. Maybe the boy lawson who used to be at Hamilton? I know this a massive long shot but what about Charlie Mulgrew that would be a really coup as Dougie puts it but might out of our budget.

You’d be looking at another Nacho Novo-type in him, who’s more interested in turning up at Celtic functions and appearing on TV or podcasts than actually doing his job. There are reasons United canned him, and I very much doubt they’re all financial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Hamilton tweeted the other day that international clearance had been received for Lawson to move to Tunisia or something so he's no longer available.

Cracking player in his day and would probably have taken him over Broadfoot but not for me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funds are available to possibly bring in further signings but nothing expected before the Rangers game Also said there hasn’t been contact from any other clubs about Crawford and that he is basically laughing it off as paper talk until he recieves a phone call or a fax expressing an interest. Is a 'fax' still a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Blue Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Wilson not in the squad today 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...

Mr.Blue Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Today's performance reinforces the need for signing a natural right back to be a priority. Would also like to see another option to Oakley and Muirhead in that central striker role but wishful thinking perhaps 1 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...
TopCat Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 A right back is absolutely necessary. Blues and O'Connor can fill in if required but it won't take long before teams start targeting an obvious weak spot. Blues' positioning and O'Connor's distribution really put us under pressure. I'd like to see another quick forward to give us an option as well - Bearne looks like he has something about him but he's very raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Blues had a tough task today and had players doubling up on his side after the yellow card. He still did fine, especially whenever they tried to switch play. To get through that game on a booking for an hour is worthy of credit. While I'd very much like a natural right back I'm not buying that we'll get found out at Championship level if we can't get one. Blues was our best player playing RB at Ross County in the group. O'Connor has also played well there. If it's a choice between a 'natural' right back like, say, Michael Doyle, or waiting to land a genuine prize like Sir Richard (or any similar quality elsewhere - like Grimshaw last season) later this year then we absolutely should not spend our resources on a second rate option to fill that position. We need a quality and ideally versatile player to improve the squad more than a specialist in any position now. Edited August 19, 2023 by vikingTON 1 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. You can all feel happy at how 'clever' you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampTon Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Not sure how he's been in recent years but Jason Naismith has been released by Cove. Can cover RB and CB - wouldn't be adverse to it. Sort of player I can imagine Dougie would get a chime out of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
