Norgethistle Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 16 hours ago, The Legend Blows said: Time will tell. I know Doolan needs ST money to get players in. The fact that people like me are holding off and complaining hasn't escaped me either. Still, I'll hold off and see what kind of squad he's rustled together a couple of days before RR at Firhill and decide then. Without money in how can the club give Doolan cash to assemble a squad. The club needs to live within its means so it can’t spend what it doesn’t have 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legend Blows Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Another day goes by and no sign of any new players. Wonder if Doolan is stacking them up for a big 5 player multi reveal? 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy McD Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 How is it that every time I look at the O.S. Brian Graham has signed up another player... just asking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenski Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 I heard Doolan say something about not using up the player budget earlier in window, because that'd mean we wouldn't be able to make signings if/when players become available later on. I guess there's some sort of ripple effect as clubs above us make signings. Also it might become more of a buyer's market later on. Higher risk strategy - we'll only be able to judge if has worked towards the end of the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that basis Doolan's strategy may be risky, but it should allow us to target a higher standard of player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also might be due something if Jack Hendry moves to Saudi for a reported £6.5m. Would that be a record for a former Thistle player? By my maths, we would be due 43.33k as a Solidarity payment.

elevenone Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 So potentially 55k plus if we beat Spartans and another 32.5k from Hendry sale potentially plus maybe a ‘glamour’ draw in next round could mean financially at least a decent start to season.

My understanding of transfer monies etc is they tend to be drip fed. On a similar note we most likely haven't yet received TV money and gate share from Tannadice. I'll guess further and say that tho' things are looking rosier than they were at the beginning of last month we'll be monitoring cash flow very closely. Perhaps another reason why signing new players is a tad slower this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggy Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Regarding the ladies team, I can’t find anything about the management team on the official website, but the latest signing said: “Speaking to Brian and Ross about the type of football they want to play here, I think it suits me perfectly and hopefully it’ll will give me the chance to push on and improve different aspects of my game. is ‘Ross’ Ross Docherty? I know he was involved but surely not now that he’s left to go to another club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAG1970 Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Partick Thistle are looking to fight off interest from north and south of the border to sign Tomi Adeloye on-loan. Jags boss Kris Doolan is pushing for a deal to take the experienced up from Swindon Town. Adeloye already has a proven goalscoring record in the Championship via his previous spell at Ayr United. Thistle now believe the 27-year-old could give them the firepower to enhance their own push towards the Premiership. Adeloye has interest from England and other Scottish clubs but the Firhill side are looking to beat them to the punch. He moved to Swindon last year but there has been a lot of upheaval at the English League Two side and a number of managerial changes. Current Swindon boss Michael Flynn is prepared to let him head back to Scotland to get game time and to free up wages.

Certainly scored a few for Ayreven if he has not been so prolific elsewhere. Certainly fast and a different option up front to Graham or Dowds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replace him with a "Tony Weston" type of player. Albeit an upgrade on TW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(from the daily ranger) Seems Adeloye has had attitude and application issues in the second half of last season. Hope Doolan has done his homework if he's a legitimate target. Saying that I'd take a couple of nomarks from the juniors right now if it meant we didn't have 2 goalkeepers on the bench each week. Erskine & Doolan 2023 versions will do.
