BowenBoys Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 We are sponsoring Antonio home and away. The home top will go to the winner of Second Last Jag Standing. The away top to the winner of Third Last Jag Standing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Not got the greatest of profiles, but hopefully he can hit the ground running, though he does look to have a wee bit of a paunch on him and I am taking into account that the hoops ain't the most flattering of football jerseys.....lol. With players coming back (Fraser, Elliot, Pogba, Edwards) think all we need now is maybe an attack minded midfielder, though hopefully Fraser might provide that if he can keep fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm hearing that he's actually pretty useful as a wide player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindau, he clearly has a six pack but like many of us he's brought it to Firhill in a quilted shopping bag ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Murray Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Not clear if he has signed as a striker or wide player. Not a great record down south and some poor comments from fans from the clubs he played for. Need to wait and see. Definitely an athletic type. Need a min of two more players in.

Mr Bunny Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Seems last competitive game he played was early December so will probably need a couple of weeks training to be up to speed. I'd imagine he'll be used as an impact sub until he's fully match fit again. It would be nice if another player came in but the window is dropping as we post and will soon be closed. That means we really need Fraser and Pogba to get fit and stay fit for a bit (as well as Elliot) or our squad will be thin. Re German. I think he looks like the player we need but at this time of year new players need to hit the ground running - there's not much time to bed in.

BowenBoys Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Archie has made some great 'under the radar' signings. Let's wait to see how this works out. Of course, if he had a great record down south, he wouldn't be here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThickAsThieves Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 We now have Lawless, Amoo, Elliott, Edwards and German as natural options for the three attacking midfield positions. Fraser and Bannigan can also play there but are preferred in central midfield. One attacking midfielder and we're completely sorted, I think. But if we don't get it - it's not the end of the world.

Alan Murray Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 But none of the above are scoring any goals apart from Amoo. Archie needs to bring in different attacking options because our goal scoring record could cost us our position in this league. If United do go on a run(and I think they are capable of doing so) this battle at the bottom of the league is going to be tough. Hopping Erskine will come as he will score goals for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 He's played at a higher level than us before with QPR, and although clearly he didn't cut it there, he's done quite well in India recently although I have no idea what the actual standard there is. Still, comfortable on both feet allegedly so that could prove handy. Hopefully gives us something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garscube Road End Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Think we might get another one in, but if we do it might mean one departing! So effectively not enlarging the squad! German in for Stevenson, Erskine for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) According to Wiki he's already scored six goals for us ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_German Edited February 1, 2016 by Jaggernaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 So effectively not enlarging the squad! German in for Stevenson, Erskine for someone. From info I have heard there is still a chance of a swap deal (think most people will know players involved). Doesn't mean there won't be other additions. I would like to see the likes of Wilson going out on loan to be honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Murray Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Think Nisbet is most likely to go out on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean Ersine for Lawless I don't think that would necessarily improve us at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhs Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) I have no idea of the standard in India but German played in front of 65,000 most weeks and had one or two Indian clubs very keen to sign him in December but he opted for a return to the UK. Some Kerala Blasters fans saying he was the highlight of their poor season and they hoped he would stay. Fingers crossed for the lad!

Yellow & Redneck Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hope all goes well for the guy. Archie has signed a few stinkers towards the end of the deadline. This guys lack of pedigree in the English lower leagues does make me slightly sceptical that he can do anything at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
