lady-isobel-barnett Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Ross Forbes to Morton Looks like a typical Morton signing. Dunfermline couldn't wait to off load Forbes. One of those players who can turn it on playing alongside good players, especially ones with pace. Not at the races playing for sides that have to dig deep. Not that much over a year ago he was on top of his game for an hour up at Tannadice. The fact that the Pars appear happy enough to risk Forbes signing for a promotion rival says a lot. The fact neither Dunfermline or Morton are anywhere near stick ons for promotion from the third tier says quite a lot as well. I doubt any of us would have predicted that two year ago?

Norgethistle Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Nice big guy, spoke to him back in 2009 after a Clyde game at firhill. He was walking into town, I was walking to the Star. Seemed to like Thistle and his loan move was either going to us or Clyde. I think it was McCall at the time who was in charge. Working in Cluj as I do regularly, he apparently never took to it or grasped the language or the culture. Cluj are a good outfit with a very good set up, I think he could do a turn for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTFC1942 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Apparently Dundee Utd want Stephen O'Donnell and the Jags need a striker, why not swap for Gary Mackay-Steven? They are both gone at the end of the year for free swap them now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Nixon Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 The fact neither Dunfermline or Morton are anywhere near stick ons for promotion from the third tier says quite a lot as well. I doubt any of us would have predicted that two year ago? And what if Morton had gone up and not us? Is that where we would be now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sunnylaw Jag Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Of course, it does mean that Brian Graham might be available in the summer. Ah, Brian Graham who was it that absolutely confirmed he was our first signing at the beginning of season 2013-14? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sunnylaw Jag Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 It's still a bit frustrating as you would have thought some deals could have been in the pipeline prior to the Window opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's saying that they haven't ? We may well have loan deals agreed, but the lending club is delaying until the end of the window to ensure there are no unexpected injury crisis before letting them go. I've not seen that much activity from anyone North or South of the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graemei Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Brian Graham, is actually doing quite well with St Johnstone, I'd probably rather him than Anier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cup Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Archie's contacts must be poor. Lambie would have brought in 6 and punted rid of 4 of them by now. The LB position has a problem for a while and let's face it, Keenan won't make it. He was badly out his depth against Dundee United. Ayr United fans called him 'dug meat'. He's no more than a stop gap for a few games. He wouldn't be there if we have anyone decent. Thankfully we've had a couple of games off recently and he's not been tested any more.

Sometimes you do not help yourself with some pish you write. How do you know that we have not had 5 or 6 trialists in over the last few weeks. I know of at least 1 trialist who is a right back that has been in for a week or so. So instead of lambasting Archie why not wait and see what happens in the WHOLE transfer window?

He "came onto a decent game" because Lawless was tracking back to help but he was getting rinsed when one on one. Archie is looking for left back as a priority. That should tell you all you need to know about Keenan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck pink Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 If Archie could extend two out of three of Higgy, SOD and Gall and get a decent LB in the Jan window we would be tantalisingly close to having a top six squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
