LargsTON Posted June 17, 2024 Share Posted June 17, 2024 1 hour ago, Scott said: He’s a decent player but probably too similar to what we already have. We need some physical presence up front. Currently it’s just wee guys. I'm more concerned about the midfield than the attack just now tbh. "CORNBEEF IS A BELLEND" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a really good signing at this level from what I’ve saw. He also scored the following week against Dundee Utd. And here ends his contribution for the season. 3 goals in 30 suggest he's currently far from 'a really good signing at this level'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye wouldn't judge him on scoring those goals against us, we were all over the place that night. Struggled to cement a regular starting place for Dunfermline, starting just 11 of his 28 league appearances. A very good player at this level would have been starting every week for a poor Pars team.

Ferguson Posted June 18, 2024 Share Posted June 18, 2024 Aye, as far as I can see he's only ever started 17 first team games at 22 years old. His early promise at Celtic might count for something but we've already got enough unproven wingers. I'd rather see us fill out the defence and get an out-and-out number 9 in for the league cup starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with pretty much all of that although I'm not sure we'll see a pacey, attacking midfielder. I think we'll sign someone who can play in a similar style and position to Robbie Crawford. Unsure who that player is though.

RossMcC1874 Posted June 18, 2024 Share Posted June 18, 2024 Interesting to see how he gets on. Other than a cameo against us I don't think he was first choice for Dunfermline but he at least has experience at this level. A very Dougie signing clearly a lot of potential from a young age but maybe not lived up to it as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Blue Posted June 18, 2024 Share Posted June 18, 2024 I was impressed with him in the games I seen him play in last season. Happy with that.

Madton Posted June 18, 2024 Share Posted June 18, 2024 Last season was his first season playing mens football so hopefully he kicks on again next season. Played as a number 10 against us when he scored 2 I'm sure and can play out wide too so can see why Dougie moved for him. Quite pacey too from memory. Played for Celtic in a League Cup Final a couple of years ago so must be a player in there. Will be interesting to see how he does. Every confidence in Dougie getting more out of him that McPake did.

Mr Toon Posted June 18, 2024 Share Posted June 18, 2024 I am encouraged by the signings insofar as it suggests that we are going to play a different style, more attacking on the flanks and less shelling the ball forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Blue Posted June 19, 2024 Share Posted June 19, 2024 Had a look at the list of players currently without a club and there's a few names that stand out- Charlie telfer Paul allan Jake Hastie Morgan boyes Joel nouble Abo obileye Kerr mcinroy Tommy robson Dylan corr Ross millen Imagine a few of these players will have better offers but id like to think this is the kind of players we are looking at.

Been wondering about left back options out there and couldnt think of many, Robson would be a decent option. Championship experience. Corr well liked at Raith and rejected a contract to play more so would be a good addition. Probably have a few offers. Would imagine Scott Brown is aware of him from his time at Celtic. Always liked McInroy, think he'd be a good signing for us and would give us some quality in the middle of the park. Will certainly have a few options you'd imagine. If Partick want him, we've no chance! Telfer had a good season but doubt he'd entertain a move back here( must have something lined up too) and don't think we need Millen anymore unless we move Ballantyne over.

Gmfcrg Posted June 20, 2024 Share Posted June 20, 2024 I see in imries interview he hints he has a few more signings lined up, hopefully they’ll be in for the cup starting to let them settle in. Where do we think needs strengthening still? Priority for me is still centre half, fullback (depending on what side ballentyne is used) creative midfielder and centre forward. That would take us to a squad of 17 (18 if you include o’boy and 19 including young GK murdoch) after that, would that us be done for now? We possibly wait it out for a few loans later into August, or alternatively find a few players like Grimshaw and power as we have previously to boost the squad.

mcintyre_gmfc Posted June 20, 2024 Share Posted June 20, 2024 Ideally we have news on Darragh over the weekend or we should be moving on and bringing in 2 more centre backs, a left back and a centre forward at minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd forgotten about O'Connor completely and would like to think the club have too. That contract offer should have been either signed or taken away at the start of this month. 4 The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before.. So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away. You can all feel happy at how 'clever' you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcC1874 Posted June 21, 2024 Share Posted June 21, 2024 I thought there would have been news about O'Connor a lot sooner considering most players who signed a new deal did so weeks ago. If he goes it's not a massive loss one good season but other than that nothing stand out about him, we seem to be doing business early and not waiting on players making decisions which is a good thing IMO. Hopefully a few more key players in the door and I would imagine we might see quite a few trialists in the friendlies also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_the_builder Posted June 21, 2024 Share Posted June 21, 2024 Was there not a deadline for those offer contracts that has long since passed? It would be nice to have something official from the club but it’s safe to assume O’Connor is off. Can’t say I’m that fussed if he is away he didn’t look great last season and I’m sure Imrie will have adequate replacements identified anyway here today, gone to hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
