Kmcalpin Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 On the basis of last season's performances and Robbo's comments, we're obviously looking to sign a creative midfielder and I reckon at least one midfielder will depart, so no real surprises. Full marks to the club for being ambitious but I never really reckoned O'Halloran was a goer and I think the same about Crawford. Although he hints that uncertainty is getting to him the ball is in his court. I can see him dragging things out until August to find out if an English club approaches him, but time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Always been their best player any time I have seen Accies, and has that bit of creativity we are sorely lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermarv could be on to something. Going on tweets from that agency and the club, this was most likely related to a bunch of the academy graduates signing professional contracts the other day.

wellowell Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Dmsd I think 1 of the signings you mentioned could be Danny Johnson from Gateshead as he fits the Moult mould as in prolific scorer in Non League . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of hope not. Only five league goals season just finished. Obviously if Robinson thinks he can do a job then I'll wait and see what he can do.

Totally agree with your point but his previous seasons were pretty good and just look at Curtis Main, u just never know so can’t write anyone off !

gullane Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Whoever we sign up front has to offer something different to Main and Bowman, especially pace. Can this Danny Johnston sprint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellowell Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 He’s scored 114 goals in 196 career games but last season was injured so only played 18 games might not be him Robbo mentioned just seemed to fit the bill as in another Moult type of signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gullane Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 I think Ciftci and a striker/winger with pace is all we need to have a creative attack. We still have Bigi, Tanner and Turnbull as options. If we then add a left sided defensive player to the squad, I would feel fairly confident for the season ahead. That would be five new signings in total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very much a tongue in cheek comment from myself about strikers from the north east of England. Just struck me that if were to sign the lad Johnson, all three of our first team strikers would be from that area. If they can score goals, they can be from Mars for all I care...

Obviously if Robinson thinks he can do a job then I'll wait and see what he can do. He scored 13 league goals last season actually, 20 in all competitions and has over 50 in 3 seasons at Gateshead. For a frame of reference, his goals to games record at that level is better than both Bowman’s and Moult’s before they joined. Not that stats really mean anything of course, as you say I guess it all comes down to Robinson’s judgement and whether you trust it or not.
