javeajag Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Archie is on record as saying he wants a left sided centre back so fits the bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I'd love to see us sign Peter Grant from Falkirk, left sided centre half, over 6 foot, only 23, he's contracted til next year though so I'd imagine they would be after a decent fee. I'd assume a few teams will be after him but I've always been impressed with him, I would rather see us sign him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonehJags Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Im hoping to hear some news today of another new signing, only because Thursday seems to be the day we do business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 When we finished top six, the talk was about the advantages of knowing where we would be playing the following season and being able to plan ahead. We're almost half way through pre-season and so far we've brought in two players and had a few go. Have we missed out on the advantage?

lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 When we finished top six, the talk was about the advantages of knowing where we would be playing the following season and being able to plan ahead. We're almost half way through pre-season and so far we've brought in two players and had a few go. Have we missed out on the advantage? Good question but in reality so much depended on Lindsay's decision. We knew he was most likely to leave but we weren't pushing him out the door. Apart from the centreback situation I reckon we need another forward. The situation with Keown is in a way similar to Liam in so much as we don't yet know for sure he won't be with us next season. I'd like to think that our relatively favourable financial situation means we're setting our sights a tad higher than usual and the early signing advantage has given way to chasing better quality. That's just the optimist in me and we'll probably be scrambling about for late signings/loan deals late on as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metzmagic Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Surely by now the realisation of where we play etc is irrelevant. The agents rule the roost. They will never have their client sign early in the window and will be in the players ear whispering and promising the world!!! Nothing Archie can do about that no matter what league or money is offered!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonehJags Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Whilst I don't doubt what you say about agents, how have the likes of Dundee, St Johnstone etc. managed to make some very decent signings? We will have 3 new signings tomorrow anyway when the winners of the Be a Pro is announced. You never know, they just might be needed to fill the bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightswood Jag Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Dream signings would be Dodoo as a winger/striker, Keown and another CB like Peter Grant or Tam O'Ware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Lanark Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I would hope we are looking at possibly going for Lee Erwin again. Scored goals for Motherwell in this division- top scorer at Oldham on loan last year - maybe some of the money for Lindsay could be used to try and sign him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) What does everyone make of Eamonn Brophy? I think he has been released from Accies.I know he's scored most of his goals against us, but I've not seen much of him.could he be a sort of poacher/ player to contrast dools or azeez or would we be aswell as giving Nisbet a go?

chunky jag Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I remember Brophy in the 2-2 draw last day of the 15-16 season, thought he was superb that day, gave us a realy hard game. Can't say I remember what else he's done or if he scores regularly, but be worth a trial maybe. He's a bit stocky, not sure if he struggles with his weight and injuries?

Alan Murray Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 He impressed me the times I saw him - good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hamilton fans don't seem particularly bothered that he's gone, and he got the same amount of league goals as Azeez did last season. If we were merely needing a back up player to pitch in when there's injury/rotation then sure, but I can't see brophy being a big improvement to our squad.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Brophy looked to me that he could've fitness issues. Just because he's been released by Accies doesn't necessarily mean he'd be no good but I'd hope we'd be looking for someone a cut above. Besides I sense Archie will bring in a more versatile player hopefully with some pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonehJags Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Miles Storey is to be released should they sign Stevie May. Im sure we have been linked with him in the past. He did OK for Inverness prior to his move to the north east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing Archie can do about that no matter what league or money is offered!! On the other hand, if players are not taking part in pre season training it could be some time before they are ready to play. If they are out of contract the players will want something tied up early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunky jag Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) I'd take Storey, liked him at ICT. I really liked Marley Watkins too what's he up to these days Edit- just signed a pre contract with Norwich, forget that idea then!!

Mr Bunny Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Edwards extended his contract to 2020. Good squad player and could improve. Like the idea we are getting players signed on longer deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyo Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 We really are looking like an established premier league team these days. Probably for the first time that I can remember, we'll go into a season and not be a favourite for relegation. Famous last words though.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last 2 seasons, the favourites for relegation have been us and Hamilton. Perhaps being favourites for relegation is not a bad thing.
