Regular championship football is better than sitting on your arse on the bench when you're a young lad. Agreed. If I was advising him, I’d suggest a move & Raith is probably about his level just now.

RED_JOHN Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Let’s give the lad a chance (Gurr). I know not all if any signings will please some folk but it’s Glass’ first transfer window so give him and the new management team the opportunity to change things. If we don’t win the league then by all means get fired into them! 1 Link to comment

Between Ramsay, McCrorie & even Virtanen we have enough at RB. Use the budget elsewhere. Link to comment

Hopefully our young right back keeps him out of the team and he's only needed as emergency cover. Personally I think its a very smart signing. He'll be a free player that won't impede on Ramsay's development. He knows Glass and his system. He's just an interim signing until Ramsay has gained a little more experience and can solidify the RB position. Two years from now Ramsay could be a very good player that we can sell on. There's no point in signing a SOD type player when Hernandez will be returning in January. Ramsay and Gurr combined are going to be on peanuts allowing us to invest elsewhere. 4 Link to comment

Aye that's OK if he's decent. Which we don't know as I doubt any of us have seen him play. But if he's hopeless then it's a waste of everyone's time as he won't be able to cut it when he does get games. Let's wait and see if he's any use before we go all in declaring it as a 'very smart signing' Why not use McCrorie at right back in some games? Link to comment

Fair point but mcrorie could be utilised in midfield or CB , he might even get transferred therefore I understand the extra coverage option if he is signed good to have different reasoned opinions rather than abuse that can be thrown about by some posters 1 Link to comment

Please no I admit to being impressed with him in the European game , how wrong I was as his football intelligence was shown to be poor he had pace , reasonable skill , stamina, but that was it ,running into ineffective zones not linking up with his peers we didn’t seem able to coach improvement into him , however nor has other teams Link to comment

How would Glass know that when he’s only played about 12 minutes of first team football at the age of 25? 18 games at Atlanta B doesn’t count. That’s lower league Scottish standards by all accounts.

Folk have to remember this isn’t a Derek McInnes led Aberdeen. We aim to be a team that plays at a high tempo and are very attacking.

thegodfuzzy Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I'd just like us to sign ANYONE with pace! Hedges and Hayes. Is that it?! McCrorie I'll give has a bit. If it's a pressing game where are all the runners? I'm concerned Glass ain't gonna get the folk in he actually needs to play the expansive, pressing fitba he's glorifying. None of the signings match up to the chat. He has a plan for the guys so far...so hope to bugger we see some folk that can run. There's a way to go till we kick off, so here's hoping the situation changes. This fella Gurr is purely backup surely to shit. Would take Kerr over McCart any day. McCart another solid defender with nae pace. Link to comment
