Not kicked a ball for god knows how long,also injury prone! Further to that ,I was amazed when Celtic offered him a 2 or 3 year contract, no thanks!

With game time he’d boss our division.
dunning1874 Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 On what planet do we have the money to afford James McCarthy? Stop it. Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Oh Lord, Brian Wake

I realise that, but for the reasons mentioned by HelensburghTon the player could be at a bit of a crossroads just now and a short term move might suit him to get his career going again. Whatever we were going to offer Cifti or Griffiths would need to be bumped up a bit though.

I don’t believe we were going to offer Griffiths anything as the reports of our interest in him were later said to be utter b*llocks, thankfully
port-ton Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 Happy with that. Didn't think he'd sign a new deal given he didn't want a 2 year deal in the summer and his game time has been limited recently. That must be the majority of the squad signed up now which is unheard of for us and is great news, although a few more losses in a row in the coming weeks and I might be changing my tune on that . Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!
AyrshireTon Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 This could be speculation but he is a left back, apparently. Fresh stain on the floor when I moved in. He may have checked out short of a useful amount of blood.

HamCam Posted February 3, 2023 Author Posted February 3, 2023 The latest interview suggests not much happening on the transfer front. The player we were hoping for appears a million miles away. If this is it, I fear our squad does not have the depth to sustain a push for promotion.
Pedrodelawasp Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 That’s a good signing. A left back with a bit of experience. Will offer something similar to Grimshaw in terms of running and work rate.
SpoonTon Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 I was enthusiastic about King having a chance at left back, but he was a long, long way off it last week. I'm not sure if it was just on off day, or he doesn't massively have to appetite to play left back, or something else but I'm not convinced we would've lost last week without our problems at full back. We couldn't have let that continue without trying to do something. Waters might not be the best player in the world, but I'm not surprised that Imrie felt like he needed to do something. King is a massive talent, but if he was going to be as uncomfortable at left back as he was last week then there are better ways to help him develop.

Aye, I think it was very clear he isn’t a full-back but the decision not to have “normal” wide players didn’t help matters. Every time he got the ball he just looked totally lost, like he didn’t really know what was happening around him. Had we had McGrattan at left-mid as a reference point, if you will, for King as well as his general contributions, I reckon King might have looked a bit more at ease but either way it wouldn’t really alter the main point which is that King isn’t a full-back. Waters coming in is good news as it plugs that gap, and also because it leaves King available to go into midfield, if Dougie ever fancies giving up on flogging a dead horses with Blues and Miller (to a lesser extent).

Madton Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 Time to get Quitongo signed up for next season. He's been a real threat this season with his pace and works his arse off for the team. Many had doubts, including myself but he's been a breath of fresh air! Deserves another year and hopefully he gets it.
TONofmemories Posted February 12, 2023 Posted February 12, 2023 I'd agree sign him up. I really wish he'd just be more clinical. For himself more than anything TIME FOR CHANGE!
