weeyin Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 If this is any reflection of the standard of player we can expect to see arrive this summer then it's going to be another long season. You mean Chalmers? or Clarkson? Or Ainsworth? Or Dom Thomas (who we tied down on a deal earlier in the season)? I have no idea how good a signing he'll be, but this forum was full of posters gagging for him to be signed last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCusker Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 ANOTHER former player, jesus christ what is it with us and signing former players. I do think he can do a job as he is a decent player and at the end of the day he plays for the mighty well so lets get behind him and all the players COYW!!!!!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 just another typical day on here. We sign someone and write said player off before he's even had a chance to kick a ball in anger. Lets just trust the managers judgement and see who else we sign please for once! He's hardly an unknown though is he? There's plenty for folk to base their opinions on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpy Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Ainsworth 2 year deal I am looking forward to criticising his lack of work ethic, particularly when we are defending and his general all round laziness Secure in the knowledge that within 2-3 minutes of me starting to moan he normally slaps in a beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelman94 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Clarkson feels like the easy option to take which is disappointing, can't see Skippy back now but I will keep hoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yassin Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Might even have been the other way round - wasn't known as Uncle Phil, until PO'D re-joined (Clarkson already being here). Aye that would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Clarkson, obviously. Right. So your comment about our summer signing policy wasn't really about our summer signing policy at all. I'm in the "wait and see" camp too. I didn't want Sutton to come back after Higdon left, but he turned out to be a solid signing and I'm happy to admit I was completely wrong on that one. Clarkson thrived in the attacking set-up McGhee liked to use, so hopefully playing with a couple of wingers will be to his advantage. I'm not ready to write him off yet.

superward Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Marvellous the range of opinions on here. Haha. I think numbers will have a part to play here. I do agree in today's game it does not matter as much but I do think if he was our first choice striker he would have been given the 9. Much like Johnson is now our 11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEWELL Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Wait a minute. I like Clarky he's been a good servant in the past. But.....He's a Bristol Rovers and Dundee reject. Not happy at all with this signing. We need to be more thoughtfull about who we sign or it's another relegation battle. Even the happy clappers must realise this is a step back to sign a player who wasn't good enough for Dundee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC'd Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Am I just imagining this or did McDonald and Clarkson not get on particularly well during their first period at us? I know Mcdonald is a petulant prick at the best of times, and may just be a simple case of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkson thrived in the attacking set-up McGhee liked to use, so hopefully playing with a couple of wingers will be to his advantage. I'm not ready to write him off yet. I think it was perfectly clear what I was saying. If you disagree with it then that's fair enough. After all the bluster about our new and improved scouting system and where we are supposed to be going as a club David Clarkson is probably the last player on the planet I was expecting us to sign.

Think it depends on what happens with him. If he is our main striker then, yeah, I agree with you. If he is just a squad player, though, then I am happy enough with that. Personally think he'll be a back up and, as such, gives us good depth until another youngster is ready to step up from the reserves. But, yeah, if we are relying on him as the main man then that's worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
