Mr Bunny Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Thing is, the players is described on the web page as a striker but we can all easily find out his scoring record - which is pretty low. The manager keeps saying we need four players and it's obvious we need cover for centre back, right back, defensive mid and a centre forward. Now it might be that the web page description is a blunder by whoever does the page but it looks like he's meant to be the new forward we need and he really doesn't seem to fit the bill. Unless of course the manager has decided Storey is the striker we need and the new player will take his wing role. I still feel we need another striker but who knows? I'll say this: if we're taking a risk I'd rather do it with a much younger player who might be able to be improved, rather than an experienced 28 year old who seems no more than average. I hope I'm wrong and he's better than we expect but one thing it seems he won't provide is goals. Hopefully there's room for more than 4 new players in the budget , allowing us to bring in maybe a loan centre forward who at least has a decent scoring record even if only in youth/reserve games.

Don't think I've ever seen such negative reaction to a new signing when in fact no one has a clue how he'll perform.

Alan Murray Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 First we have people calling for Archie's head after the first league match of the season then we have people having a pop at a player they have never seen play!

The Legend Blows Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I give up. I thought Jason Banton was Archies all time low but it seems he may have outdone himself with this doozy of a signing. I'd take Jukka Santala, John Baird and Mark McWalter right now before whatever 3 charlatan footballers Archie is gonna foist on us in the coming weeks. To a man they'll be free transferred come May. Has he really got no contacts or player database built up to trawl after 5 years of being a manager. What the hell does he do on non match days and after training? Mind bogglingly inept when it comes to transfers. That goes for Shaggy aswell btw. Pair of clowns. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a bit of a character, capable of occasional brilliance, but no doubt often inducing despair. Well-suited to Thistle. I am trying to draw some comfort from my general impression that for all his faults as a manager, John Hughes could be refreshingly honest and objective in recognising a good performance by another team. Maybe his judgment of a player falls into the same category. Hope so! Unrelated point. Getting a little tired of leading questions in JagZone interviews. There were two in particular to Andrea regarding Alan Archibald and about squad unity. Ask an open question rather than trying to draw out an answer to suit a particular agenda! Very good point. It's pretty annoying when a player is asked ' It's dead brilliant here, isn't it?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erty13 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I think a winger who drives at the opposition with pace is a welcome addition to the squad. Who else does this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of the craziest comments i have ever read on here lol...ok i will go with it Started his senior career in England and never played a game Played a handful of games in Belgium and Croatia before ending up at 2nd/3rd division sides - his last 2 seasons have been spent with no club and then a 3rd division croatian side aye a gem lol Suppose you thought big Pogba was amazing as well cause he played in France, England and Italy?

Guest Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 5 hours ago, jagfox said: Yes, it was great to see Penrice, Fitzpatrick and Callum Wilson all contributing to a good victory yesterday. One side of perceived transfer inactivity is that our academy players will get a chance at first team football over the course of the season which can only be a good thing for the future of the club. Rather fitting on David McParland too, don’t you think? Good points well made. If, as many on here are predicting, me included, we don't go up, then consolidation and progress has to be made in this re building malarky. This guy might be one brick, at 28 yrs old he's bound to bring experience which, as you point out jagfox, will help the youngsters. I hope we see them getting a chance, a wee run and not sporadic part time appearances. We can do that easier than when we were in the premier fighting to avoid relegation, and when we do go up we'll be stronger. All the best andrea and welcome to the madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another example of mismanagement on the web site. Am i alone in thinking our site is pretty pish. AND i'm still getting over this jagzone pish that other sites do for free. Anyways andrea will not be the first player who struggles for years to score or generally be a success at several clubs and then BANG, finds a club that fits and the good times roll.......fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
