Lukemfc1 Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Pretty impressed by this one, seems to tick the left wing back box pretty well. Done well up here by all accounts and earned himself a couple of moves. Doncaster fans seem to have a negative opinion of him but most other reports seem to be largely positive. As we have seen recently though take all that with a pinch of salt and judge him when he comes. Good to see a Scottish boy signed up too as the balance of Scottish guys was being lost a wee bit too. Personal preference but I like the team to have a good percentage of Scottish guys, especially coming through from the U20s. Pleased with the business we have done early. If we can get the mentioned midfielder in and a striker I would be quite happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who is the mystery 99.9 % midfielder ? Looks like the squad is bit heavy and this might stifle our young talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Superwell Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I think we will see a couple players from the squad offloaded this summer as well but overall the manager certainly wants more strength in depth behind his first choice 11. I reckon from what happened during the horrific run in December has a played a part in the kind of players we are recruiting just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a left full back and is fairly pacey. He seems to have the attributes required for that position and a decent track record. Do you forsee him playing elsewhere?

Well Well Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Yep, good to see these signings coming in although its also fun seeing folks on here making all sorts of weird and wacky players up, passes the time. Also noticed that the usual posters who seem to have a source in the squad and were usually accurate seem to be pretty quiet re signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left sided full backs aren't always wing back material. From what many remember of him from his time at Firhill, he seems like he could be an ideal fit for us and our style of play or the coaching staff will evolve and set up 4-3-3?

Gadgey Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I tend to agree with LukeMFC1 but it’s never reassuring to see things like this.

Lobey_Dosser Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 If he can return to Scotland and rekindle his Thistle form in similar fashion to Stephen O’Donnell, we’re onto a winner here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Dunne, Grimshaw and Main are all players who have been slated by fans of their clubs down South and have come in and did a job for us so not overly worried by Doncaster fans' reviews of him. Hopefully he fills a problem position although on paper Hendrie looked like he fit the bill. Turnbull is still pretty young but rumours of MacLean and Gordon going out on loan makes it seem like a matter of time before we release them...

weeyin Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Going out on loan isn't necessarily the end of the road for the youngsters. It's an opportunity to prove themselves in a competitive environment. Guys like Cadden and Erwin benefited from it. Guys like Thomas, not so much. Taylor-Sinclair seems to fall into the "been out injured, point to prove" approach, so look forward to seeing what he offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Pleased with our business so far. Taylor-Sinclair looks a good signing on paper at least. Its good too to get in fresh faces early so they can get a full pre season and hit the ground running when competitive football kicks off. Given that our business hasn't finished yet its turning into slightly more than fine tuning although the turnover of personnel won't be on the same scale as last season. Having signed players of 6-3,6-2 and 5-11 we're turning into a real team of thugs and hatchet men aren't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
