GCM Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Sorry, someone may have asked before, when is Innes Cameron expected back. Another option coming off the bench or sweetener to end of season loan with Dunfermline plus some cash for Nisbet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casual observer Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I appreciate we need better squad depth but imo our top priority is to sign a striker who would slot in as first choice and have Brophy initially as back up to him. We need goals and players who can take the sparse chances we create. Time to be a bit more ambitious and sign a guy who can claim the starting jersey and make Brophy work harder to get get it off him. Whether that’s Nesbit or someone else I know not, but this “young or done” loan deal player profile approach won’t progress us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boaby Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Nisbet looks like a sound bet but my main focus would be a creative midfield player as I feel the lack of that has been detrimental to all other areas of the team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcktid91 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) I'd take Greg Docherty off sevcos books. They have Ryan Jack after all.. Edited January 16, 2020 by Dcktid91 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definetly, dosnt matter who we have upfront if we can't create chances. Brophy is the same player as he was last year, just this year he has nobody passing him the ball and does the majority of work himself, detrimental to his game. Also unless Fowler has completely rejigged our transfer policy I can't see us spending money on a Nisbet type player (which we should) when was the last young player we signed on a long deal? This should be the policy however with the plan to sell on after success 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiastuart Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Personally if we signed Nisbet, or another striker who is actually prolific, I would move Brophy out to his wide on the right role that he used to occupy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbs Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Dundee went with the bring them them in and sell them on plan .... it caused them to go bust. There is no guarantee of selling on a player 2-3 years down the line so there is a huge risk involved with that sort of business plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit different getting in good young players with decent sell on potential than signing cannigia and ravanelli. Killie have to either snap up best of young players getting released from old filth or try to get the good ones from lower league teams. It is a gamble but these players are no worse than the 30 year old journey men we currently sign with no resale value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nisbet's contract runs until 2021 so Dunfermline aren't going to sell him on the cheap as he is their best/only hope of making the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee were trying to pay some if these guys 20grand a week ffs, this is hardly comparable to us paying a smallish fee and a few thousand a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point we're going to need to spend a bit of the money we take in from player sales or we're going to end up requiring 20 players in the summer..... Dom Thomas and £100k for Nesbit surely isnt out of the realms of possibility? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlies PaPa Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Spoke to Innes Cameron at half time at the last home game and he said he would be back in February. I still believe Brophy could play the Greg Stewart role behind a striker. -2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be blasting shots in from long range rather than looking for the killer pass. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimStripey Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 We do need at least one other striker but creativity is our main problem. It is not as if Brophy is missing a hat full of chances every week. He maybe has a couple of half chances and that is it. He either needs a hold up partner (like Boyd was) or a link up player (like Stewart). He did very well playing with each of those. He just isn't a lone striker. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Papa and have thought for sometime that Brophy is a talented dangerous forward player but there is no evidence to show he is a regular goal scorer. Moving him back into a number 10 role gives him time to control the ball and either run at the defence or pick out a colleague without the immediate pressure on him to score. I have big hopes that Innes will prove to be our next big time scorer and a partnership with Brophy will bring exciting times for us. -2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kfc_superteam Posted January 16, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I think the system is as much to blame as any. Playing three defensive midfielders, Power, Dicker and Makrini in every game especially at home with your wide player being Rory McKenzie doesn't help matters! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
