weeyin Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 To be fair, any striker that plays against us is likely to score. That aspect of players joining rival clubs has never bothered me. I agree he put in some great work for us last season, but I think it was a good time for all parties for him to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily, our offer to him stays on the table to guarantee compensation I think? Maybe just seeing what materialises over the summer as he has our offer as a fall back if no club want to stump up the compo this transfer window I guess.

MelvinBragg Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 I reckon if compensation wasn't due then Cadden would have more offers. Given the length of time he's been with us and number of games played, it would be a decent amount. Cadden on a free would, I imagine, attract the interest of the likes of Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen and a few league one clubs down South.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 It's a no-lose for the club then really, isn't it? Unless he's absolutely adamant that he doesn't want to stay, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellowell Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Career seems to have stalled last few years but represented England at all ages between 16 and 20 so must have had something about him just lets hope he can find it again . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEWELL Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 So we've got Johnson . Young Scott and a guy from Fleetwood Town reserves fighting for the number 9 jersey. Why dont we weld them together might make a decent striker..........jeeeso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmac Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hmmmmmmm..... once again. I’m sorry, but the signings so far are leaving me more than a little concerned. We finished last season with a strong core of a young side emerging (assuming on keeping Cadden). Contract expirations we’re largely kind to us and I like others felt we should be bringing in quality over quantity. Some relatively experienced and decent level players to bring in some guidance for our own younger players. Thus far, outside of Gallagher and Polworth, we’ve brought in a lot of journeymen from the lower leagues of England whom are untested In Scottish football (and before anyone starts, League 1/2 isn’t at the same standard as the Scottish top flight). Some of these boys look like good athletes which is what is essential at that level down south, but to my mind, we are crying out for on the ball quality, Albeit in limited numbers, to aid McGuire and Livingston etc. Through games and help players like Cadden and Campbell kick on to the next level. So far, the jury is out and Robinson appears to be repeating history all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 This is the market we work in, and I don’t see that changing any time soon. Rarely are we going to sign a player that we all know and are going to get excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 The transfer window doesn't close until Sep 2nd - so plenty of time for other business. We won't be signing top-level, on-form strikers any time soon, though, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelvinBragg Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Couple of things about this signing. He can play across the front three so maybe not necessarily planned to be the central striker. His record of 2 goals in 17 for Blackpool looks poor until you consider only he only started 8 of those games. Louis Moult was signed from non league. Ojaama had a checkered career before coming here. Scott McDonald was one unsuccessful trial away from flying back to Australia. Sometimes players just need the right environment. In short, give the guy a fucking chance... 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one more than the prolific Curtis Main scored and he played mumber 9 at least 20 games. I just hope that with the Turnbull money if it happens we get a decent centre forward cos the 3 we have so far aint gonna do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted June 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Just a hunch but I suspect we'll bring in another striker. If James Scott goes out on loan we'd be back to 2 strikers and thats if Johnson stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkyred Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Pretty much as expected, Robinson has made it quite clear where they would be looking for players, some will work out and some won’t. As above though I still expect a number 9 to come in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Sloth along with Gallagher and Polworth, all experienced, three more inexperienced players from the lower leagues so pretty much a 50/50 split which is probably what we were always going to get. Still time to add further players to that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
