Guaranteed a job for 17 months vs a job for 5 months That’s apparently what swung it Duh ….. so explain why the club you and others speculated are rolling in money didn’t offer him a 12 or 18 month deal ? They wanted to keep him and 5 clubs were apparently after him after all . you can’t have it both ways or else we are to believe we gave no money but can sign players from our rivals who have lots of cash.

They think he might be good enough to get them promoted, but not good enough if they are. Doolan on the other hand does think he is good enough if we get promoted.

So if I understand you correctly you believe we have given an 18 month contract to a player who isn’t good enough for the premiership you speculate that’s raiths view with no evidence (although Doolan thinks he is ) because what we don’t think we will get promoted or we will get rid of him if we get promoted or Doolan a poor judge of a player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exiledjag Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 I see on pie and bovril that some Raith fans are speculating about signing Tiffoney or Turner Some favour the former others the latter! I wonder if either player would want to sign for a championship club albeit one of the top two. With regard to O'Reilly the majority of Raith fans consider him a player who did well for the Club. He was though considered to be a bog standard championship CH who wasn't up to SPL standard - hence the contract offer to the end of the season.

Lambies Lost Doo Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 1 hour ago, elevenone said: done deal https://www.raithrovers.net/66650/kyle-turner-signs.htm Baws We def could have done with him. His goal and assist stats last season were superb. Our midfield is not clicking and he could have helped in the 2 next to Banzo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Gekantawa Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Turner is much better going forward than in defence. Our problem is not in attack. We already score enough, at a sufficiently fast rate, to win this league. It’s conceding that’s the problem, in my opinion largely because we lose control in midfield for long periods (I think our core defending isn’t that bad, and we have now added a new CD who should be an upgrade on Aero). I don’t think Turner would address this. Maybe McBeth might, though it’s a big ask considering the level he’s been playing at. If not, we still desperately need more steel in midfield.

We do have a problem scoring against Dundee United. it’s only a loan to Raith and several of our midfield are out of contract in the summer so maybe if he’s available in the summer we can enquire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
