Cet Homme Charmant Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 3 hours ago, HamCam said: A waste of a squad number on a has been. Before the arrival of Dougie that would probably have been my first thought as well, but he has proved us wrong in the past (e.g., when he signed Jai last summer) and has made a lot of other astute additions to the squad since his arrival, so I'm more than happy to give him and Kirk the benefit of the doubt.

Hard to be anything but skeptical about this, regardless of how good a player he was in his day. I trust Dougie's judgement on this. As far as I remember in his last season at ICT he was still doing a good job for them, and I think I read that the reason he went to the Lowland League was because of his desire to go part-time to concentrate on his businesses outside football. Not sure what's changed in that respect, but there's every possibility he's still got another season in him at Championship level. I guess we'll all find out soon enough.

Greacen2000 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I would be concerned if he was being brought in as first choice CB but clearly that’s not the case.   Good experienced pro and hopefully Darragh & Jack can both learn something from him.    He hopefully won’t be on too much money and will be a good guy to have around the squad, as well as being versatile and able to cover a couple of positions.

Yeah, exactly. He's clearly not going to play 36 games. I trust Dougie 100% on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamOakTree Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Yeah on second thoughts Dougie will have good reasons for this, plus Andy Millen knows him well from Kilmarnock. Probably do a similar job as Efe, an International Defender tutoring our first choice CB’s etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

so72 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Solid, experienced CB cover added today and a solid LB. These are the sort of positions in the squad that proven players are needed in. Hopefully an exciting addition or two towards the front-end of the team to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 4/10 at best when it comes to going forward though. He did improve as the season went on, so hopefully that continues. We've had worse.

TONofmemories Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Can't win with some folk. He's the efe of this season. If you watched the open goal documentaries (whether you like it or not) he's an experienced head. Can only be good 1 TIME FOR CHANGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hej Posted June 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2023 The social media is looking better btw. Better camera being used, better photography, getting the sponsor in the picture too, the picture linking to the site rather than just pasting a URL. Small things, but all adds to the increased levels of professionalism   5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitanus Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 It speaks volumes about the depths our club has plumbed to in recent years that an ex-St. Mirren and Rangers water carrier that beats up pensioners for fun isn't the most despicable signing we've ever made. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Blue Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 See on Twitter that Dougie's on holiday. Wonder if that means no transfer activity until he's back?
