I think he’s a decent back up for midfield but at CB no no no no ! OK see your point. To be honest I completely forgot he could play Midfield.......... can he?

exiledjag Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Great news about Tiffoney. I am sorry to see Penrice leave but wish him the best of luck at Livingston. As I said in an earlier post this is a strange transfer transaction (assuming the two moves are connected) - a player not considered good enough for an SPL club moves to a Championship Club and a player not considered good enough for the Championship Club moves to the SPL Club! Wonder how often this has happened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevenone Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Just watched the interview. Sounds like we may have a sell on clause for Penrice if he leaves Livi which is good business and a Goalie lined up too. Piecing together nicely.

Wonder how often this has happened! Don't think Penrice can automatically be classed as not good enough for Championship. He was offered a promotion and chose to take it. Just as most people would. Hope it goes well for him - I think he has potential and could still improve significantly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 I assume when McCall says he has one of the boys from last year almost there that means Bell? If so and with a keeper pretty close then we have already got a very decent starting 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how many games Turner has played in the Championship but he and TIffoney are likley to be able to handle that league OK. Tiffoney's pace will be a great asset.

Wonder how often this has happened! Don't think it's necessarily about Penrice not being 'good' enough. I think it is that he just won't fit easily into the style McCall wants the team to play. Probably not quite good enough at left back but think he could develop into a very good midfield player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he looks like he could be a very decent midfielder, that’s where he was used when he played away on loan and for our youth teams I’m pretty sure. I Genuinely think we have a decent player in the making with him, just where on the park he ends up I don’t know.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that - but most of these guys were in the team that really just got promoted from league 1. Ok for the last few weeks we went on a great run. I just think we need a bit more quality to make an impression on the championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think what McCall said about him was near spot on, it was a shite time for him to come through at the club.. I think this move will be the making of Penrice .. He came through looking great and I reckon at the time fans thought so much of him that we kind of expected him to be our shining light in bad times.

exiledjag Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 OK re Penrice hands up and guilty! I like Penrice and would have liked him to remain at Firhill. In saying he wasn't good enough for a Championship Club but good enough for an SPL Club I really meant in the sense of the manager not seeing a role for him in the team. Given the players McCall has brought in and has still to bring in Penrice was clearly surplus to requirements and was instrumental in Tiffoney signing! Personally I think we have just 'touched' his potential and hope we don't regret letting him go! So in closing I fully retract the clumsy "not good enough" description! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could take another 2 years to find Penrice a position in the team.. although the most annoying thing about him leaving was watching him in that Falkirk game, Did McCall just find his best position then swap him for a player only proven in league 1? I couldn’t be happier with the business we have done so far, and I genuinely think the boy turner could turn out to be a diamond ba boom boom . First time in years I’ve been genuinely excited for a season to start, McCall really looks as if he’s learned a lot over the years and things are looking up.

exiledjag Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 We (jags) have secured our two 'mark' signings - Turner and Tiffoney. It also looks from, McCalls 'hints', that Bell (perhaps) could also be on his way to Firhill! Time will tell Question: as we are apparently looking for 4/5 'new' players does anyone have any idea or suggestions in respect of who the 2/3 remaining prospective signings might be: for example: - names in the frame, or - suggestions (of players we should go after) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 I read on a forum, can't remember if it was this one or pie and bovril at least 4 weeks before the season finished that Penrice had signed a pca with Livingstone. So maybe it wasn't that we let him go, maybe he had already made his mind up to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
