Ten Caat Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 4 Scotland caps. Too much pant pishing going going on. Don't think he's actually put pen to paper yet but when he does ffs give him a chance. He was at sevco same time as McCrorie and played in the position that McCrorie wanted to play. That tells me he's better than McCrorie... My only worry about him is the year out he missed, but he seemed to play regularly on loan at Cercle Bruges last season. 2 Link to comment

I don’t think he’s an upgrade on Gallagher or McCrorie. Aye Devlin is a complete irrelevance. Gallagher has been guff so far, and McCrorie isn't really a defender. I think McCrorie can do okay in a back 3, but he's a liability in a 2. I can't recall much about Bates but it wouldn't take much to improve our defence currently. They were talking him up at Rangers and I seem to remember they were quite disappointed that he left for Germany. The lad has experience playing in different leagues at a decent level, and he's got a few international caps, so he's of a decent calibre. Not sure what our best 11 is now (assuming Ferguson leaves...) Lewis Ramsay Gallagher Bates MacKenzie Longstaff Brown McCrorie Hedges Watkins Ramirez 1 Link to comment

Personally believe he'll be an upgrade on Hoban and Taylor and dare I say Considine. He's a young player who has the potential to be a very good player for us. Both Hibs and Hearts were after him and he chose us over them. I'm pleased with the look of the team at the moment. Overall this has been one of our best windows in years IMO. Time will tell. 1 Link to comment

Guest milne_afc Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Still waiting for anyone to provide some evidence of the boy Longshanks being a decent player. @ebbe a few sub appearances over 3 years and the word of a notoriously stupid support does not fill me with confidence tbh Link to comment

Elph_I_N_Stone Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Got a good feeling on Bates, spent last season on loan at Cercle Brugge in a better league than ours. And let's be real, even if he doesn't walk in as our number one choice he must be a step up from 2 broken toys and a centre mid (or a right back i'll get to that) for centre half options. I do believe Gallagher will improve once he has a partner that can actually play at centre half.. After Thursday I really believe that we need a right back to go on top of all this if not to keep young Ramsay competitive as, let's be real, Gurr looks uninspiring and Hernandez doesn't come back till later. Took me and I'm sure a lot of folk at Todders not very long to see how exposed Ramsay was when he was asked some serious questions (all 3 of Carrier Bags goals came from their left man Zoubir, who Ramsay looked petrified to get near to). I have no doubts on his ability and I believe he does merit serious playing time however I believe at his age and with his attacking intent more his game perhaps we should be in the market for a more rounded right back whilst also taking the pressure off the young boy a wee bit? Or to put McCrorie at right back like we've seen him do to a fair standard before from time to time. Id argue we could do with another left back but I think so long as Hayes is still here Glass won't mind sticking him there for a shift. Hope I don't rock the boat too much with my opinion on my 1st post here ? 2 1 Link to comment

Ramsay was left exposed time and again as we don't have a right sided midfielder who tracks back to cover him whereas Hayes was tracking back to help MacKenzie. 2 Link to comment

Andy_123 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Lol at folk claiming they know much about Bates. Big followers of the Bundesliga 2 and Belgian first division? Doubt it. There's no way he'll be worse than McCrorie, and he'll actually play so will be better than Devlin. Hopefully him and Gallagher can strike up a decent partnership. Gallagher has been poor so far but with a run of games beside another actual defender I reckon he'll improve. 4 Link to comment

Hopefully they aren't still holding a grudge about not getting as much for Fergie as they'd hoped though. Is it only the obligatory % they are due when we sell him? 1 Link to comment

Personally, I'd be delighted with those as our central defence options. Gallagher is a good defender and just needs sometime/confidence to get going. Bates will also require a few games to get into gear. If true, the young lad Hamilton looks really promising and would be a fantastic replacement for Devlin/Considine going forward. Would certainly argue we are stronger defensively this season especially in the wing back positions. I think it's the right time for Ferguson to leave. A good player on his day and has plenty of potential to develop however I wouldn't say he's as good as his other namesakes and IMO I find him to be inconsistent. I wouldn't be remotely surprised if the energetic Longstaff outshines him during his time with us. I would say 3 million plus add ons is a good offer for Fergie. 1 Link to comment

That would be decent and allow us to deploy Ramsey and to an extent McKenzie as wing backs as for me I'm nae too sure how great Ramsey is at actually defending. McCroarie as back up, Consie on his way out and Devlin hopefully released in January. I'd be more than happy with Bates, Hamilton, Gallagher and McCrorie as our 4 centre backs. Improvement on last season for sure. Link to comment
