I would take him back in a heartbeat, he did want to play at a higher level, no different to Stanway or Fitzy or players like Archibald, Scott Paterson etc before If MW thinks Tiff could make a difference and get us to the Premier League , then why not ? I think its more there's absolutely no way of knowing if MW does think he could make a difference or not other than the fact he has not signed him, if MW decides he wants him and signs him then fair enough.

Tiff going to Raith on loan it seems. Good luck to him except when he plays against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legend Blows Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 Wilson, Rae, Baraclough. Striker please!!!!!!!!! I know they know but we're on the cusp of a title winning season and about to flush it down the pan by not having a proper striker. Giving me rage after every game so far. 🤬🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to agree , issue moving forward is other teams will stop our wingers from playing or the pitches will get heavier , there has got to be a plan B possibly a creative No 10 maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 The lad we tried to get on loan but was deemed to have played for two professional teams, got a gig with St Mirren so I would think/ hope Baraclough has a few names in the magic hat. We need a bit of creativity in the ten role and I feel the defence is still a bit disjointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always felt that putting him out on the wing mitigates his strengths, as he can use either foot, he is swift and strong enough to shoulder his way through, and in addition he is capable of shooting. Keeping him away from the most likely area to score doesn't do him or the team any favours. Even taking into account the occasional desperate lunges defenders make at him, he could win a good few penalties if he were in the centre.

I'm not going to tell you just how pleased I am. im sure we are feeling exactly the same my good lady. Thoroughly excellent news. I dont doubt they will move on but they have been brilliant and credit to Barraclough for no doubt ensuring we get some good compensation for it. I do fear that Dundee United are circling, though unlike previously when they tried to renenge on compensation after McNamara i dont doubt they would be held to account by Barraclough if they tried similar now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunky jag Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 My guess is it’s not an extension as such, maybe just improved terms, but with improved compo for us, should they be poached? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 Thomas Horn goes on loan to Cumbernauld Colts until January and connor Storey emergency loan to Arthurlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 Horn was best player on the park against Clydebank. The game was played competitively so he should do well with the Colts. Maybe opens the way for bringing in a fourth striker on loan. But not too sure why a loaning club would want to send out a likely bench warmer.

jagfox Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Wilson not expecting to make any new signings by the close of the transfer window. The loan market is still open for another month so might be some moves on the periphery of the first team squad. Falconer seems to have dropped out of the first-team picture in terms of minutes and then we need to talk about Ricco... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
