dazza Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Beck's a left back. Would be more worried about them trying to get Strapp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcC1874 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Wouldn't be too fussed about French going back, definitely not the player I expected. If Strapp goes anywhere I would think it would be Killie he was training with the reserves and played some minutes with them seems a logical choice but let's hope he stats until the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappiecat 1.2 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Tele's saying Strapp's been offered an extension until the end of the season. He says he'll see what offers are on the table and decide from there. This article about January transfers has a section where Dougie talks about Michael Garrity, it gives a clear insight to his actual policy towards our young players. Hopefully it will help our delusional friend realise there is not, nor ever was, any policy or plan put in place by Dougie to not utilise our youth.

Cet Homme Charmant Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) There's always a worry when someone comes back from a long-term injury that they might have lost something, but in Lewis' case if anything he's come back even stronger than before. I'm sure won't have gone unnoticed by other clubs, I will be very pleasantly surprised if we can hold on to him after January.

During Dougie's Ayr post-match interview, he specifically mentions the fact that he's tried to get Logan O'Boy onto the grass for some game time, but the situation during previous games didn't allow it. But when we were cruising yesterday, he brought the young laddie on without hesitation. Dougie's very complimentary about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard the same thing, however, McInnes interviewed on STV news and said that he was looking to do only one bit of business in the window and that would be in a forward area.

port-ton Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 The squad is amazingly looking too bloated now after a season of injuries. We could lose French, Strapp and potentially Wilson this month if QOS have a call back clause which would make defensive reinforcements the priority however I can't help feel that a back up to Oakley is our most key addition this month if possible as we look a completely different attacking threat without him. 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...

Scott Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I’d love to keep Strapp, but can we really justify having 2 left backs with King as cover on the books? I thought Waters was one of our better performers during our shite run of form up until Nov/December and he’s a decent enough alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Dougie giving an explanation on a player’s prospects within his plans. However I don’t see any insight into his youth policy there, as he’s simply saying Garrity won’t get into his team if he doesn’t add defensive responsibilities to his game. That would apply to any player, youth or otherwise. It is refreshing though that Dougie has recently started addressing the issues of our development players, rather than hearing it from them after they’ve been released.  5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
