fizoxy Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 I like efford, he played in the friendlies, so maybe we're being careful with his minutes. I wonder if he fits into our style now. He played out wide for us a lot, but I'm sure he was a center forward when we signed him, so you'd think need need him. Saying that, if Ferrie is going to get serious minutes this season, then the likes of efford become costly backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 I think he said himself that he prefers to play at the back now, and I think our system suits him. It also looks like we want our midfield to be mobile and cover a whole lot of yards, which would definitely expose Butcher. It will be inetesting to see who gets the nod for that spot until he's back. Does casey move to the middle? Or is it between lamie and bevis?

steelboy Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 I think it depends on Blaney. If he's up to the job of playing on the left then stick Casey in the middle, if not then probably Bevis middle with Casey left. McGinn has the right hand side locked down.

Spiderpig Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Senegalese International with 26 caps so far, has played at a high level In recent years, so good experience looks like a promising bit of business, we've needed a left back for a few years now so hopefully he does well.

grizzlyg Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 I would assume that means we are not getting Furlong then. Good experienced left back so hopefully a good addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Very true Though I heard a rumour today that we are looking at ex Hearts and Dundee Utd player Billy King, so that might tip the balance back the other way. (I didn’t really hear that btw, but it would be genuinely hilarious to watch some of the reactions to us signing a ‘Billy King’ just as we brought out a ‘sash’ kit. Some people’s heads would probably explode ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfc Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 I was hoping we would have got furlong back but considering we're likely to have a few young boys in and around the first team this season having an experienced internationalist in the squad won't be a bad thing.

steelboy Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 He has decent experience so it'll be interesting to see what he brings. If we are planning on starting two wing backs in their 30s I don't think we'll be seeing much football played this season. Getting a decent striker in still has to be the priority and we should be nowhere Moult. Dundee United would be ideal for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Yeah I’ve said it many times before but it would be absolute lunacy on turbo if we signed Moult again. Even by our standards that would be absolutely mental. The guy is done, crocked, finished. It cannot and must not happen. We need players who are able to contribute, not a guy who has spent the last five years on the treatment table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
