Maybe we won't be keeping Spittal so who knows. I haven't seen any update regarding Docherty's injury as well so that might have a bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDaid as jaggy says is essentially a winger. Only ever seen him play thru the middle when we were short of striker for the U20s. He's not a bad player but his decision making has always looked a bit dodgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 I thought McDaid mught end up getting linked with us. We need a winger and McDaid is a winger that has proven capable at our current level. When you add that he's out the picture at Dundee, would probably be avalaible on a loan and McCall knows him it seems to tick a lot of boxes. He's not someone that I will get excited about. I think he has a tendancy to delay the cross and try to do too much when he gets in a decent position. However he does have pace and does like to stick to the touchline so would at this point be an upgrade on Cardle who has a tendancy to cut inside and doesn't want to try and outpace the opposing fullback so he should quicken our forward play and stretch opposition defences.

Third Lanark Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Apparently Hearts looking to send Wighton out on loan again. Would have been an ideal signing for us but no doubt will be off to a championship team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weebaw1 Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 It would be utter folly to sign McDaid( or anyone). It is highly likely that we won’t play again this season. We should be trying to offload if possible due to financial stress. Consign ourselves to another season with the garbage but save the club. We aren’t good enough to win the league even if football returns foreshortened. I saw McDaid several times at under 20’s and admittedly he looked good. But so did McCarthy, Wilson, Lamont, Docherty ,McLoughlin and others. Where are they now? He was dreadful in the 1st team and thank God, he left. He’s played against us several times and been subbed most times, contributing nothing. I was delighted to see him in opposition ranks. Please God no! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very young while in the first team and not given enough opportunity. Besides there’s a massive difference for any players ability in playing league one clubs compared to premier league. He also did well at Ayr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Whether he improves the squad or not is debatable, but why sign anyone until we know what is happening with the league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 I agree with @Weebaw1 and @Dick Dastardly at this moment in time we don't know when our next game is, so why sign new players ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 As he is on the bench for Ross County tonight I think we can assume Spittal has been recalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure I read somewhere FIFA will not allow it, they will only allow the loans period to be extended for longer.

Which shows what a further shambles this action from the SFA has been If I read you right we can't make new loans past January and only renew a loan that was up in January. Think that's a bit harsh. Said before but if any club can afford to sign a new player then it's effectively misusing the grant money. Loan deal are the way to go.

Dick Dastardly Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 I read it as the window for loans could be extended beyond the end of January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G SUS Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 The January transfer window for permanent transfers ie. signing player X from club Y ends on 1st February and is FIFA mandated so can't be extended. The current loan window for L1/L2 clubs expires on 1st March and can be extended at the discretion of the SFA so could move to the end of March if the clubs request it. Free agents can be signed until end of March so, for example, players like Reece Cole and Niall Keown(to just pick two unattached players) could be signed at any time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
policemans whistle Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Re Spitall His loan deal finished a couple of days ago, therefore he returned to RC. There was hope he would return to the Jags when the season restarted. No need to rubbish the club at every turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
