TheLip69 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 To be honest Fitzpatrick hasn't played any decent part this season. At least McGarry had a good game in Wales. But I suppose that won't count because it was against a purely amateurish Llanelli team. I think Fitzpatrick would bring alot to a team like Hamilton or St. Mirren, teams that need that bit more grit then teams who try to play football. I'm a fan of Fitzpatrick, I like him he does the simple things well and would be an asset to any team, I just hope it's us. He hasn't had any sort of run in the side in a steady position, ostensibly a midfielder he's filled in just about anywhere on the park for us and his attitude is spot on. His goal in the League Cup semi against the jambo's is one of my favourite moments of recent years. There may vwery well be others further up the pecking order than he is, but none with his versatility surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelvinBragg Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I can hear it now... "Gannon's revolutionary 2-7-1 formation...". Can't see it unless as someone else said he can also play defence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldaft Mk1 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 So far Gannon has looked like a man who knows what he wants and how to go about getting it. I much prefer to hear that we have signed a player than we will be signing a player like the old regime. So I very much hope that Jim is on the case for a couple of strikers. The fact is that we have lost two first choice strikers and along with Sheridan - 3 of the first team strikers from last season. Whilst I believe Forbes and possibly Slane will chip in with more goals than last seasons midfield this is causing me a little concern. Sutton has come on in leaps (quite literally) and bounds since the first game v Llanelli and was my MOM for Flumartari at home and even possibly Steaua at home. If he gets the chance he will stick them away. The problem is he seems more likely to set up chances with his flick ons. Murphy is a decent player but I still think he is too lightweight to take on most SPL central defenders. We NEED a striker who will create as well as score goals. Someone who will slot in beside Sutton and another for back up in case of injury and to provide competition for the striker role. Otherwise we may play plenty of attractive football but struggle to score goals - very much like Steaua the other night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Gamble is a very decent player IIRC. He was apparently on good money at Cork, £2500 a week, but they have financial trouble. I don't see him and Jennings palying in the same team though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 He was apparently on good money at Cork, £2500 a week, but they have financial trouble. Even still, with a full international cap and being less than halfway through a three-year contract, I can't imagine they'd let him go particularly cheaply, at least by League of Ireland standards.

underboyleheating Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 My Partick supporting mate told me that Jim Gannon was watching Thistle play Liverpool last night at Firhill.

underboyleheating Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Subs Martyn Corrigan Willie Kinniburgh Jim Hamilton Mark McGhee and Scott Leitch were also watching last nights Thistle game, so Aberdeen could be set for a triple transfer scoop.

sinky Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Ganon was in the wishaw press today, sorry if this has been posted elsewhere: Meanwhile Gannon has revealed he is looking to add a right-back and a centre-forward to his squad saying"We have not adequately replaced right back Paul Quinn. "It has been a problem area for us. "In the future we see the likes John Page and Steve Saunders filling that space but at the moment we are using Jim O'Brien and that is not ideal for the team or Jim O'Brien. "We would also like to have another attacking dimension up front because we are conscious that there are several players that have become very important to the team and if we were to lose them there wouldn't be an adequate replacement in the squad. Nothing too shocking in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That quote makes it for me. The fact he has came out in the press and told Page and Saunders they have the a great chance in the future to be Motherwell right back will hopefully see both of them come on leaps and bounds, going head to head for that one slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure he would do a better job than Jim O' Brien who can't be expected to be great playing in an unfamiliar position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaag Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 did he not play for kilbirnie or something before? Not another Martin Grehan! think the transition is a bit too much to go from junior to SPL, but if you go up in increments it could really make a player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
