  1. Keep Erskine, Doolan, Penrice, McCarthy, Cerny, Elliott, |Bannigan(on a 6 month deal) and two or three others, and then ditch the rest.
  2. I think if we had a 16-year-old player as good as Harry Cochrane, then he'd undoubtedly be in the squad.
  3. Second signing might be Connor Sammon. Would be a decent enough option as third choice striker. Could do with a bit of height on occasion.
  4. Still think Archie made the right decision signing Blair Spittal and in selling Azeez, but we do lack pace and power to mix it up with Azeez and Amoo away, despite the latter being a useless shitebag most of the time. In an ideal world I'd like us to sign two strikers - a pacy one like Miles Storey and a target man like Brian Graham - and then another attacking midfielder(whether that's an attacking midfielder or winger). We might end up having to settle for just one striker. If they're even just a tiny bit better than Azeez then I would accept that as Azeez was alright. I think unless we sign something a bit different then we'll rely a lot on scoring perfect goals like the first one against Hibs, which is not ideal. But we were okay yesterday, and I think most teams bar Rangers, Celtic and Aberdeen would have lost that, so it's not the end of the world.
  5. Who do people actually expect us to sign? We need strength and pace up front. Tade has been loved by the support of pretty much every Scottish team he's played for. I think he'd do a fine job.
  6. He's been around for years but he's only 30 according to Wikipedia, and just a few months older than Doolan. If he's still the player he was when he left Scotland, he would be an upgrade on Azeez and help bring a bit of power to the team.
  7. Thought we were superb yesterday. Brilliant having Osman and Bannigan back together. I'd say they're probably the best central midfield pairing we've had in my time supporting the club, and offer us the best balance of any available pairing. Bannigan also brings out the best in Booth and Lawless in the way they all link up. Spittal offers a lot more than Amoo on various levels, and good having someone that's willing to make runs into the box, rather than just cling to the touchline for dear life. Looks a great finisher as well, and I think there's the possibility we might actually make some money on him. St Mirren on the other hand were dreadful. Genuinely looked a similar level to Formartine United.
  8. Archie keeps saying on Jagzone that his priority is getting in a left sided centre half, so I think it might be partly why Hendry wasn't considered. I don't know if Hendry would have been a first choice for Archie though, even if he was left sided.
  9. Really hard to say how much Lindsay is worth. I'd say he was good the first half of the season, and verging on sensational so far in the second half. He has made huge strides since January, and now probably one of the best centre halfs in Scotland. I certainly can't think of any better left sided ones. Fair play to Liam for eradicating the errors, and Archie for always sticking by him.
  10. I think we'll offer Elliott and Welsh new deals, and maybe a similar contract to Fraser as we offered Welsh after his two years out. I'm guessing Elliott will defo accept. Less sure of Welsh given midfield competition with Bannigan fit again, but I think there's a good chance he would sign on. Archie quite often says in interviews that he looks to bring in at least a couple of players each summer just to keep things fresh, so I think Amoo will be punted on that basis, and doesn't really deserve a contract anyway. Ridgers would only be kept on if Scully injury is worse than expected, but I don't think he'd want to stay anyway. We'll probably have a couple of defenders to sign in the summer given Lindsay will probably be off and I think Keown will have aspirations of a bigger move.
  11. Christie Elliott is our version of John O'Shea/Park Ji Sung from that Manchester United team. He's maybe not your first choice, but guaranteed to play well in 20 odd games a season, and never lets you down when he comes in. I'd be pretty happy going forward with Dumbuya, Booth and Elliott as our full backs for the next few seasons. Penrice will probably come into the mix at some point too actually.
  12. We should probably be hoping for the opposite. There's no way he's staying with us another two years if he keeps up this form. We're best trying to get as much money for him as possible and a call up will help.
  13. Cerny is a brilliant keeper and probably our most important player. I seriously doubt we'd have gone through that run at the start of the season of conceding last minute goals if he was fit. I think it's as much his organising as his actual goalkeeping that make the difference. You can see how much Danny Devine's performances have improved with him back. He's a pretty poor kicker, but he more than makes up for it with everything else he offers.
  14. Thought it was interesting that he said there were offers in for two players, and then added that there was the possibility of getting a second player in. I'm guessing both bids are for a striker, and then the other player will be somewhere else on the park. Logically I'm guessing it would be a winger, with Elliott probably being regarded as a full back till the end of the season as we only have three. We're pretty stacked everywhere else, so an upgrade on Amoo would be nice.
  15. This seems to have come from an "agent" on Twitter, who I don't even think is a real person. Doubt it's true. Doesn't look like he's had a team for 18 months.
