mitch14 Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 12 minutes ago, Dillinger said: You can't just look at what other teams have signed... we've all started with different needs. A team might have only signed 1 player but not lost many to begin with. Look at the business St Mirren and Motherwell have done and tell me we're not behind them Our outfield first eleven is miles stronger than St Mirren at the moment. They've only got two defenders who aren't youth players and Obika is the only real option up front who isn't pish. Motherwell got over a million pounds more than us from league position last season and will be playing in Europe. Comparison there is a bit thin. Being pessimistic after the last few windows is understandable, but we're active for Bachmann, have players in on trial and did a good job with MacGowan. The time to panic is a long way off yet in this weird window. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 As piffer says, we're not just a matter of weeks into this situation - we've known for six months this was going to be the position we were in. What's Fowler been doing? If he has a list of targets, why are we failing to get them over the line? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it won't be popular, but I don't think our transfer window really kicks off until the carousel properly starts with the English leagues ending. Might be proved wrong, but I suspect a lot of teams will be holding off until the latest possible point to see who's available. If we have to line up with: Rogers McGowan Broadfoot Findlay Waters Burke Dicker Power McKenzie Brophy Kabamba for a few match days while getting signings in then I think that would be fine.

Pride_of_ayrshire Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) A think for a keeper we should look at French Quentin Beunardeau. Hes a free agent after departing Desportivo Alves. Played 21 games in Liga Nos last season. Also had spells in France. At 26 wouldnt be a bad move. But am no scout for the team.

Broadfoot as first choice would be a big worry. Guys in their 30s who are in great condition. It's a good enough 11 that we don't need all our signings made before a ball is kicked. As long as we have another 3 or 4 signed up and one is a goalie. Broadfoot will probably start the season as a first choice and be phased out over the course of the season, he's the only guy I would say age is really catching up with. The guy is in tremendous condition but pace and a bad back aren't going to allow him to be a reliable first choice. The likes of Dicker and Burke are in better condition than a load of guys throughout the league 5-10 years younger than them. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casual observer Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Marcus Fraser was the Ross Co captain recently, played right back/centre back for quite a few years. He’s ok but wouldn’t improve us and McGowan’s a better full back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Part of my fear is complacency. In pre season players should be pushing each other. A clean slate for everyone and positions up for grabs. At the moment we can basically pick the starting lineup and there are very few positions in it under threat. It will probably be like the lineup posted above. El Makrini waiting for a shot at CM, Kiltie or Thomas maybe putting pressure for the LM position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirP Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) I believe Wes Foderingham is a free agent after leaving rangers. Could he be someone we would look at? Also just noticed that Branescu is a free agent after being released by juventus. Could we bring him back? I know he was abit of a bomb scare with simple things but he was a big shot stopper (8 clean sheets, 6th best in league and 91 saves, 3rd most in league with only 26 appearances) and the silly mistakes could be worked on. He knows the players so could slip straight in and be a decent back up if we were to get Bachmann on loan.
