sandy Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Dools and/or Erskine could be useful short-term additions for the second half of this season. But realistically their value for us will be as greater as longer-term members of the coaching/management team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much could depend on our next few results. The nearer the bottom the tendency would be to go for quick fix players (experience over potential). If we were to move further up the table we might see younger prospects coming in. As you say there will be limited choices anyway. Even on the back of two wins I wouldn't be too miffed if we used this window primarily for damage limitation purposes. That and two or three younger prospects on pre contract could be the way we go.

It's not always the better team that suits. Travelling to training and games could be more of an inconvenience for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Lanark Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 According to the Daily Record Ross Docherty Of Ayr United has agreed a 2 year deal with us on a pre contract If that’s the case then McCall is making some very impressive signings for next season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West of Scotland Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 "We're obviously disappointed to be losing Doc but the fact is Thistle have a bit of money to play with and are going to be using it." Really? It's good to know the Ayr United boss is confident of our finances. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/ayrshire/ayr-united-captain-ross-docherty-21120701 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Murray Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 Ross Docherty was a standout at our recent march v Ayr. He is very similar to Banzo though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is very similar to Banzo though. Think he's right sided (tho' good with both feet) and a cleaner tackler than Bannigan. Actually probably the exact type of player Banzo needs to play beside.

dibble Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) While all these pre contracts are targeting good players and are welcome I do wonder what effect it will have on existing players who may read iinto it that they have no future at firhill nest year - not really motivating!

dibble Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 These pre contract signings signifies that McCall reckons we will not go up this year through the play offs and that any signings in January will be short term deals or loans to keep us up? Also shows that McCall will as he has done before is focus on Scottish market rather than down south - not sure if he has many contacts down there anyway. Either that or building a team for 1st division next year! Kidding of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
