Dark Passenger Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 With news emerging of Andy Jackson having signed for Morton, does anyone have a list of all the players that have been signed by our First Division rivals, thus far? Maybe an idea to keep all divisional signing news to one thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Some serious intent from Allan Moore at Morton there. Â But don't think Queens are exactly setting themselves up for success: no manager, no players, no money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 John Lambie Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Jackson should score goals in this division, but his injury record is terrible, so hopefully he misses a large chunk of the season due to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Kevin McKinlay released by Morton. Â A left-footed player who, while not great, can do a job in defence or further upfield on the left wing. Â Worth another contract at Firhill?

Pie Of The Month Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Serious intent from Moore? Really? Â Paul Di Giacomo is a player most Ross County fans are delighted is away, Ross Forsyth is a part time player who although one of Stirling's better players was part of an awful defence, Andy Graham could be a decent signing and Stephen McKenna is nowhere near as good a player as Jenkins who he will be replacing in midfield. The only one of their signings who looks like a player who could be part of a title winning side is Andy Jackson and even then they need to hope he doesn't continue to get injured. Â It seems to me he's replaced dross with players around the same level and lost their player of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Passenger Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 If money was no problem I'd take all the players in bold. Sadly, however, it is. It serves to highlight the number of decent players that are currently without a club. And to think people were getting their knickers in a twist a week ago over an apparent lack of signing activity.

Pie Of The Month Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I hear Ryan Conroy has been released from Celtic now. I wouldn't mind him back at the club, he was one player I thought did consistently well in that awful period at the beginning of 2010.

kni Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Bob Harris could be a suitable replacement for Paddy Boyle. 10 goals in 106 appearances for Queens and he's only 23. I would not mind seeing Conroy return too. They would be ahead of McKinlay in terms of left-back options. Â I would give Tam McManus a trial. Finnegan and Barrowman could be worth looking at too. However, our priority is to strengthen the defence. We can't be sure that Balatoni will return. Edited June 3, 2011 by kni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Passenger Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Bob Harris could be a suitable replacement for Paddy Boyle. Suitable? Yes. Realistic? Probably not. Â In saying that, players will begin to get nervous as time ticks down on the signing period. I remember Third Lanark having a canary last season because he thought we couldn't afford Eddie Malone. I'm sure he didn't expect him to end up at Ayr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Passenger Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 But what alternatives will Harris have? You do realise there's a big, bad world outside of Glasgow and Scotland, don't you? If Paddy can secure a contract with an SPL club on the back of one good season I'd be surprised if Harris can't get something better, be that north of the border or with a lower-league English side having consistently been among the First Division's best players for a few years.

Well said, Im quite surprised at how many people rave on about McKinlay, he was distinctly average at best. If he had really been any good then neither us, Ross County or Morton would have released him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Passenger Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 By the way a lot of Ayr fans seem to think he was a great signing for them I don't doubt that. What I'm saying, though, is that we shouldn't get wound up in what we think other clubs are capabale of paying players or what the players themselves are looking for. There are loads - north and south of the border - looking for clubs. The time will come when they'll have to lower their expectations. Saying that, I still believe Harris will be fixed up with something better sooner rather than later. Same goes for Tade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
