potty trained Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Ah the old Friday signing, reminds me of the Lambie days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Murray Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Lambie did a few saturday morning signings as well. Mr. Lambie always liked to have a quick striker on the bench to bring on against tiring center half’s and looks like he can take a free kick.

But for all that Lambie was always, but always, "short of a couple of players, one with a bit of pace" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cup Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'm optimistic. With the defeat of Thistle by Blyth it shows that we are comparable to that level in England. Better with a younger guy with something to prove that McManus looking for a last paycheck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spartans manager had only just moved from Whitley Bay. Perhaps he recommended the lad to Jackie or the Jags to the lad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggybunnet Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Why wouldn't he sign him if he rated him that highly? because he knows Scottish football is shit and any pub team in England could walk into our teams and be a top player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberteeb Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 This lad is 6'6 strong as an ox, faster than Usain Bolt with the touch of Messi and the shooting of Ronaldo right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) I'm optimistic. With the defeat of Thistle by Blyth it shows that we are comparable to that level in England. Better with a younger guy with something to prove that McManus looking for a last paycheck. Eh? Whitley Bay don't even play in the Conference North. Once you get outside the Football Conference theres loads of different regional leagues which further dilutes the quality. I don't want to judge the guy already, he could turn out to be good, but we've already signed one unproven player in Scotland (Stewart) and Jackie wants to go and sign a guy who has been grubbing it in the pub leagues of English Football, whose potential is solely based on a brief stint as a trialist.

"Pub leagues" is a bit OTT but not much. Elliot played for Jarrow Roofing before joining Whitley Bay for one season. Jackie is taking a big punt on this lad. I am surprised that we could not get a loan player from the SPL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuthejag Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I would rather take a chance on a unknown english non league player than take sum old firm diddy on loan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jago1953 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I would rather take a chance on a unknown english non league player than take sum old firm diddy on loan Totally agree. If a young guy cannot get a game before Sammy the Greek at Celtic or the guy that cannae poach an egg at Ibrox why would we want them.lets give the boy a chance.Only person to blame if he does not make it is Jackie.

kni Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) I would rather take a chance on a unknown english non league player than take sum old firm diddy on loan Like Andy Murdoch? He did well for us. However, I said SPL rather than old firm. We have Balatoni from Hearts and most fans were pleased when he re-signed for this season.

Meister Jag Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Almost right he is 6'6 stronger than ronaldo faster than messi and has the touch of usain bolt That's close to winning the half-time ball, but you missed out laser vision and a free ticket to The Savoy.

Buchanan 9 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I asked about him on their forum and they seem to repeat what Jackie had said on the OS today, very quick and direct. Hope he does well, rather him than some big-headed Celtic or Rangers youth prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuthejag Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Jukka was a great signing (and still would be), but for ever Jukka there is a Steven Campbell or Steven Lennon. As for Andy Murdoch he was great in 2 loan spells (now over 20 years ago) but he turned out to be a horrific waste of a club record transfer fee. Interesting to note the guy who replaced him as first choice went to make us a good transfer fee and was still playing first team football last season.
