Seems to be the 2nd “unnecessary” signing of the week. Not convinced we needed another winger, similarly don’t think a defensive midfielder is needed either. A couple of attacking midfielders were needed. Looks like a playmaker to me rather than your typical defensive midfielder. Link to comment

AyrshireSheep Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 If he turns out to be as good for us as Levitt was for the Jutes last season then we won't have gone far wrong. Been looking at him for a year apparently. Don't think we'll see a "10" come in this window now. Goodwin says he wants Barron further forward. Suspect it'll be Clarkson and tgen a CH and that'll be us for the window. Link to comment
redstrummer Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 this guy is never a starter , don't see the point of a loanee Link to comment
Shinniesta Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Clarkson has played for Liverpool's first team 3 times which to be fair is 3 times more than £4m hun Ben Davies managed. 3 Link to comment

I read he was a defensive midfielder. We’ll just have to wait & see.

starryfish Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 We shouldn’t be signing anyone on loan if they aren’t going to be a starter. Use our own youth team players to fill the bench. Link to comment

I’m all for signing young players, but I think there’s a danger we’re signing too many “projects” & not enough known quality. We've gone from too many 30+ players last season to mostly under 25s. I don't want to go full Alan Hansen and "you can't win anything with kids" but I'd feel more comfortable with a couple more players in the 27 - 30 bracket who know the Scottish game Be interesting to know what the average age of the squad is this year compared to last.

Brotydon Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 The 11 signings will probably never play together as a team but it's interesting to compare them to 11 that Goodwin decided to let go. New boys: Roos Richardson Stewart Scales Coulson. Clarkson, Ramadani. Morris. Roberts. Duk. Miovski Old boys: Woods Ramsay, Gallacher, Devlin, Considine. Brown, McGeouch Ojo, Ferguson, Jenks Ruth Link to comment

If its a bench filler surely better to loan a Liverpool one to sit on our bench and hopefully our youngster goes out on loan and plays for experience? 1 Link to comment
Helmet Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 1 hour ago, Goodwin’s beard said: Does anyone else get the feeling Barron is away now with all the midfielders joining? No reason to think so. We released about 42 midfielders at the end of last season and I think we have signed 1 who plays in Barron's preferred position? Most of the signings are wide players/attackers which we need given how shite the options we had there last year were. Link to comment

If we’re looking to really keep Barron and develop him AND have him want to stay he has to be playing regularly. Anyone we bring in has to challenge immediately. Link to comment

Vinnie is the attacking centre mid and mcrorrie and ramadani are the holding players. Vinnie can play wide but we keep singing new wide midfielders and now another centre mid and we still have Polvara. We’re very top heavy with little cover for the defence. Link to comment

If Clarkson is a defensive midfielder it means McCrorie can fill in at CB and RB without a drop off in midfield quality. 1 Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 3 hours ago, Ernie McCracken said: We planning on signing any proven midfielders or are we going for potential all the way? Levitt was hardly proven when he arrived at the jutes last season. Worked out alright. Who's to say this lad doesn't do the same, make an impact and hold down a place in the team. People are too quick to write players off based on nothing. 2 hours ago, redstrummer said: this guy is never a starter , don't see the point of a loanee He's perhaps better than what we have. Or our own youth are out getting valuable regular game time instead of warming the bench and this lad can warm the bench instead. 2 hours ago, Goodwin’s beard said: Does anyone else get the feeling Barron is away now with all the midfielders joining?
