Hej Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Would happily take Doyle at this point, him at RB and O'Connor in for Broadfoot in the middle can only be an upgrade regardless of Doyles level of fitness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange decision unless he has something else in the pipeline. Saying he was just offering training and wouldn’t be signing him was one thing back in the summer when presumably he had other targets in mind for that position. In our current situation where clearly none of those targets have come through, it would seem like a bit of a no brainier to at least offer him a deal til January (if he has recovered from the injury) Edited September 3, 2023 by Greacen2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Seen a few Twitter accounts saying that trying to get Adam Devine from Rangers on loan would be a no-brainer. Don’t know enough about the boy, and don’t really like us having to do any business with, or take any favours from them, but at the moment I’d bite your hand off for anyone, just to get Broadfoot out of the team. What the percentage of his wage would be would probably be a massive stumbling block, and I had heard that we were previously blacklisted by both the Old Firm after McPake and Welsh’s experiences, but there doesn’t appear any other obvious option with the exception of Doyle when fit. Incredible that we can have such bad luck with injuries and it seems like the only one who’s not getting injured is Broadfoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also helped McCrorrie on his way in recent seasons. I would be shocked if we managed to get Devine given that he actually played a bit for Rangers last season but would absolutely bite your hand off for him. Especially given that he can play left-back as well as on his more natural right. Sadly though, I believe that any rumour started from the Spfl transfers account tweeting that Morton 'should' be looking at him, rather than 'are'.

bob_the_builder Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Not a chance we'd be getting Devine, if there's a chance of him going out on loan he'll got to another Premiership club easily. I really hope it's just a rumour about us being black listed for OF loans. It's a complete joke to tarnish the whole club just because our manager at the time was a complete tool. here today, gone to hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only there was a decent left back somewhere, currently without a club, someone who could also play on the right if required.

Much as I like Strapp & would have loved us to keep him, we have signed Waters and there is no way are we about to use up another wage on a position we are already covered for. "could play on the right if required" doesn't cut it for me. Lewis Strapp is a left back, and there is nothing to suggest he would be more effective at RB than the other players we currently have.

After years of Morton fans saying we should play left backs in midfield, we now get that they could easily switch to right back. Lewis Strapp and Michael Doyle being the best of the suggestions anyone can come up with for a right back, but yet loads still crying, wondering why the club haven't signed one...

ChampTon Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Would much rather have Strapp playing centre back with Baird if it meant breaking up the partnership with Broadfoot which is a complete disaster. He was competent enough there previously, albeit in a back 5/3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GiGi Posted September 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2023 Things are pish the now but we're in jump-the-shark territory if we've reached Lewis Strapp being touted as a centre half or right full back in a back 4. 4 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...
port-ton Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Strapp could barely pass the ball to a teammate with his left foot nevermind his right foot. Decent enough defender but he's never the answer to our problems. Would take him as a back up left back to waters who is a better player than strapp but that's it. Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season ended debt free. Decent season ticket sales. New sponsorship deals. More merchandise revenue. Rangers game. Smaller squad than last year. You can say all you want about increased running costs etc but there is absolutely no way with all that we shouldn't be able to get a right back in. After being so optimistic for this season it's now looking like a shit show, major questions need to be asked and raised about what exactly is going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing and worrying if it's true that none of the Viaplay cup money is going to strengthen the squad. I can understand them wanting to put it towards the long term stability and financial wellbeing of the club, but the last three leagues games have surely shown that adding one or two players should also be seen as a priority. I fear we'll be genuine relegation candidates with the current squad as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I’m sure I read somewhere that Imrie was actively trying to get another couple in, around the time Wilson arrived on loan. What’s changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Greacen2000 Posted September 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) Nothing new in that Tele article - just a bunch of lines lifted from the post match interview thrown together with a sensationalist headline. He (quite rightly) said that we don’t have the funds to run with a squad of 25 players - that’s it. I would be amazed if we don’t bring in at least 1 or 2 players on loan before the end of this month. Anyone who has watched us (including the gaffer) can see that the squad is incomplete, and he has said more than once that he will only bring in players who will improve us, and isn’t willing to bring in guys just to make up the numbers. The nicker wetting on here has been unbelievable. Edited September 5, 2023 by Greacen2000 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
