2024/25 Squad and Transfers

[Mr.Blue]

Wondering with the playoffs now finished and coming into June we'll see some incoming signings. Davies must be due to join us soon too?

Greg Docherty released by Hull City. Dougie and Grant Gillespie played for Hamilton at same time as him, might seem out of our reach but it's reported that Hamilton are trying to sign him.

Saw the Hamilton rumours, but would be shocked if he ends up in the Championship. His pedigree is surely still good enough to get a Premiership club.

So, in essensce, Doubting T, needs to take his banana flavored calpol and accept that everyone else is capable of educated reading between the lines, whilst he - for some weird reason - denies it. Makes sense!

Yeah, meanwhile I'm still waiting on you listing all the other 'officials within club' that publicly announced to the world we have the lowest budget in the league. Just whenever you're ready.

They make banana flavoured calpol?

An aside to the ongoing budget discussion.

Lily Allen told a story during an interview about a childhood incident. She had drank a full bottle of Calpol and, when questioned by her dad, pointed at her younger brother, Alfie, who was subsequently rushed to hospital and had his stomach pumped. The host asked “was that the pink stuff?” Allen answered incredulously “well it wouldn’t have been the bloody banana one!”

Harry Enfield is/was Lily Allen's stepfather.

I was watching an FA cup final preview on Friday and saw the goal he scored against Ipswich to put them out the cup.  Looks pacey and a cracking finish. Interesting.

[RossMcC1874]

Interesting no idea what he is like but will take that all day long. 

Dougie clearly casting the net far and wide you love to see it happy to give guys like this a chance and see how it goes. 

Away to the shop to get some red stripe. 

[Scott]

Never seen him play or heard of him, but already decided he’s a baller. Welcome. 

[Jamie_M]

He works part time as a bus driver so saves a few quid for away games as well.

[Alibi]

That really looks like a left field signing.  Looks like we're trying to improve the attack.  George?  George Who?

[dunning1874]

Can safely say from the goalscoring record that we're looking at someone who's primarily about creating chances rather than scoring, we're in need of both so no problem with that at all. It is a gamble to have two 28 year olds who've never played in Scotland coming in in attacking positions, but we know gambles are what we're depending on in every window and if casting the net wider is what gets us the quality other clubs can spend their way to with known quantities then great.

15 goals in the past 6 seasons at National League South level doesn't inspire much confidence. 

 

For reference Gozie Ugwu had 13 in 24 games the season before he joined Raith in the league ABOVE. 

[Alibi]

Take it he's a midfielder then?  Maybe the replacement for Crawford?

[TRVMP]

That's an odd one, in a good way. It's normally not easy to coax players away from the Southeast. 

Livingston also signed a player from Maidstone this month, a midfielder named Liam Sole. 

Good luck to him, interested to see how this works out. 

[Cet Homme Charmant]

I watched the Ipswich game live as I lived in Maidstone for a couple of years in the 80s and still have a wee soft spot for 'The Stones'. I remember thinking at the time that the first touch and finish for that goal was superb, looks like he could be a really exciting signing. Welcome to the Ton Lamar! 

[Greacen2000]

Happy to see us scouting for players at this level - there are good players to be found and hopefully we unearth a gem.  If we are going to put together a competitive team on a shoestring budget then guys like this who are looking to prove themselves at a higher level should definitely be part of our recruitment strategy.

[ChampTon]

Let's hope he's the next Akinyemi.

Welcome aboard!

Primarily a winger by the looks of it, but can play anywhere across the front three.

Purely speculation here, but with Imrie talking about his pace, I wonder if we're going to see another bash at a more conventional 4-3-3 with two out and out wingers now there's no question mark over how to accommodate Muirhead.

[Ferguson]

Yeah fine with that. Dougie mentioned wanting more pace and end product from his wide players and that's a bit of a commodity up here, anyone he signed in that position was going to be a gamble anyway. Not been prolific but he's scored more league goals this season than Oakley did in the 3 seasons before joining us, worth a chance.
