If McIver can improve from his loan to Alloa then bringing in a loanee who can facilitate that should be welcome, regardless of who is his parent club. Besides it's very difficult to see how we can be worse off after today's business Edited February 28, 2022 by lady-isobel-barnett 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 McIvers contract up in the summer. At 23 playing 10 minutes or so of a game is not good for his career, best he goes of to Alloa and see if he can get more game time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have kept McIvor for his heading ability alone , if the best we can get after the transfer window has been open to us for the last 2 months is a Rangers youth team player who has been playing in the fifth tier of Scottish Football then the McCall/Britton partnership has a lot of to answer for . Makes the Zak Rudden deal all the more ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the Zak Rudden deal all the more ridiculous. I was really surprised that we signed McIvor for this season as i thought that he struggled to make any impact in league 1 last season. I can only think that McCall thought he could improve him,unfortunately he couldn't. Yes he was involved in a couple of goals but he also missed an absolute sitter against Arbroath at Firhill, this was when the score was 1-0 for Arbroath if we equalised like we should have we may have got something out of that game. I think that he never usually gets more than 10 minutes in a game tells us that McCall realises that he made a mistake. I feel his time at Firhill will be his last as a full time player, he may get a team in league 1 or 2 but that is his limit for me. As for the Rangers youth player i know nothing about him, i just hope he helps to get us a play off place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garscube Road End 2 Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 This transfer window shows that we are struggling to get any quality into the squad. I fear that this season is going very flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree a bad signing by mccall but sometimes you just have to say enough is enough. Tbh not convinced by jabubiak either. Nb we probably are skint but not really a surprise.

jaggymct Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Good thread on twitter on our new signing. let’s hope he fulfils the promise he clearly has when at Firhill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 McCall says in an interview that the normal worry of loan signing a youngster is usually a lack of physicality. That's evidently not a problem with Alegria. McIver is far too easily knocked off the ball. When he came on as sub and Graham (or to a degree, Rudden) was no longer on the pitch we were basically left impotent in attack. Another cause to make Tiffoney's job that much harder. Assuming McCall is correct about the physicality issue we have to be better off with Alegria. Even if he and Jakubiak for that matter don't score goals we'll at least be able to play a "nuisance" type for 90 mins. Anything that takes our over reliance on Graham away and can help free up our lightweight attacking mid (Tiff, Smith, Turner & Crawford) has got to be welcome. We'll find out in due course whether Alegria in for McIver is of great, reasonable or just marginal benefit. Whatever I imagine we're somehow improved as a squad.

Garscube Road End 2 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Just read what McCall says. " With so many games coming up signing Alegria adds more attacking options". And he let's McIver ( a striker) go out on loan???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure McCall was hoping to get more than one striker in so when McIver was away i assumed a second loan was incoming, hopefully there is a free agent planned as well as it does not make sense to let McIver go on loan otherwise.

He’s not good enough, but we actually need more players in , McIvor going out on loan makes no sense . We’ve got 1 creative player in the team ( Tiff) and 1 goal scorer in the team (Brian Graham)the lack of squad depth that we’ve got is frightening. You’re probably right we are skint .

In the league he has not scored and has 1 assist to his name. If Alegria is replacing MacIver he has to get more than 1 assist by the end of the season to add to our attacking options. Unfortunately for us we need someone who can replace Rudden's 8 goals and 2 assists. Jakubiak so far has nothing in 3 appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be still be the "normal" sources of income - sponsorships, season tickets, prize money, etc. There could be money from TJF if the members want it spent on the playing budget. It would be up to the club board to maximise income but TJF could provide advice on that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG1970 Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Interesting that Rudden is not listed in the Dundee squad for tonight’s game… maybe injured or maybe the BBC got it wrong again … or maybe McGhee doesn’t want him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
