Third Lanark Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I see McCoist wants a new warchest so he can sign new players like Midfielder Mark McNulty from Livingston. For an attacking midfielder he seems to have scored a heck of a lot of goals and at only 22 maybe someone we could be looking at. Wouldnt be able to match Sevco wages but we are at least in the SPL and have some financial security (rumours Sevco could be in trouble by 2015), plus Scott Paterson could maybe put in a good word to his Livi contacts. Maybe competition for the likes of Higgy, Lawless, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 We need a striker but we also need an Albert Craig/ Martin Hardie type midfielder. If McNulty is that type of player then yeah we should be looking at him. Unlikely we would get him if Sevco fancy him though I doubt Sally will be getting little, if any, warchest in January!

Pie Of The Month Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 First signing of the window confirmed - Lyle Taylor on loan until the end of the season http://ptfc.co.uk/news/2013-2014/december_2013/thistle_sign_loan_striker Initial thoughts for me were I would've preferred El Alagui but upon looking into it Taylor scored more goals in less games for Falkirk (29 in 42 vs 27 in 43) and is 5 years younger. Hopefully if it works out there's an option to sign him in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cup Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 A decent start although he's unproved at this level. Need a few more signings yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Peebles Tackle Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Happy with that. Probably the best striker we played against last season. Next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cup Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Tidser was excellent last season for Morton. Their promotion push fell off the rails at the end when he was injured. We still need an experienced centre half or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marco77 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Pleased with that signing, would like us to play 2 forwards. I liked the way Motherwell set up against us with a 3-5-2 formation.

Lindau Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Delighted with that and it will be a double yahoo if we get Tidser and another central defender. Good to see Archie moving quick before other teams strike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not he'll sit on the bench or Dolan will be dropped Cant see Taylor coming to sit on the bench. He will be the main striker but like others I would love to see Taylor and Doolan up front. Could be a boot in the knackers for Lawless though, who looks like he is beginning to show some of last seasons form at last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, apparently Ross County are keen to get him. At the risk of sounding like a broken down record player, remember we have more than enough money as the board didnt require the extra income from dvd sales etc so there is no excuse why we cannot pay Tidser's full wages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Kerr Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 While I'm pleased that we have some competition for Doolan, I think it'd be really unfair to drop him at the moment. He's one of the top scorers in the Premiership and has taken most of his chances so far this season. The big problem is that the midfield either isn't chipping in or creating more chances for him. I said to a couple of mates a few weeks ago that we could have Ibrahimovic playing up front at the moment and would still be struggling to score. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the way Motherwell set up against us with a 3-5-2 formation. Fox Balatoni-Muirhead-Piccolo SOD-Craigan-Bannigan-Osborne-ATS Doolan-Taylor Just recently Archie has tweaked our formation with Lawless playing central instead of wing and looking to support Doolan almost as a second striker. Lawless could be moved out wide if played and Taylor either in the Lawless role or Dools dropping back to do that with Taylor as main man up front.

Third Lanark Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Mcnulty had 18 months left on his contract and livi have already turned down a six figure offer for him. Maybe I misheard but I though Livi were in financial difficulties again and if so not sure how they can refuse money offers, but maybe I was getting mixed up with the Pars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeless Unbeliever Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Very pleased that Archie is getting his business done early, January is going to be a huge month for us so we need as many of the new additions that are coming in to be in for as many of those games as possible.

Hopeless Unbeliever Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Ross County appear to be doing the same with two more international additions. Seems their wish list looks pretty similar to ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JobbyMahoney Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Happy with Taylor and potentially Tidser though a little concerned as we've already seen that top first division players can't necessarily cut it in the premiership.

ian_mac Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Taylor looks to be a good signing. Exactly the type of player that every single one of us have been crying out for. Well done Archie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
