Kmcalpin Posted January 31, 2024 Report Share Posted January 31, 2024 Whoever we do bring in, its vital that they have a good injury free record. The last thing we need right now is more permacrocks. That doesn't guarantee, of course, that they won't get injured in their first training session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand To be fair If we had a choice of players for starting strikers probably yes but as we are reliant on Bair a player of Brophy's experience would be welcomed, he's a step up in quality from the likes of Wilkinson, Obika and Shaw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted January 31, 2024 Report Share Posted January 31, 2024 4 goals in 19 for County and only 1 this season. It's not ideal but at this stage it could be a lot worse. I'd rather Brophy than the unknown 21 year old warming the bench at St Mirren. We need at least 2 strikers though, and I honestly have the feeling we won't get one.

Expand Again you like to distort facts. He signed a pre transfer agreement with St Mirren so Killie opted to let him go on Loan rather than pay his wages to warm the Bench. His Manager said he would no longer be a first choice as he was leaving at season end. He had featured in most matches up to the January.

And the social media team aren’t doing themselves any favours today by posting pointless guff when they know fans are waiting job signing being announced. They’ve not gone “coffee and a chat with x, y or z” quite yet but they would be as well not posting anything until they’ve got something to announce.

Expand Brophy's a couple of years older and obviously played more games, but he has 46 Premier goals as opposed to Shaw's 16. Definitely been more consistent over the years, although there's the usual question with a couple of spells out injured. Think one was a broken foot, which could obviously happen anytime to anybody we bring in, but more recently a thigh problem. That's the January sales for you, I suppose - if we're even after him....
