Drewboy Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 He will be hungry to prove himself and move up the leagues which is what we need. The guy can only score against what he is up against and that is a good record, you hardly see defensive tactical masterclasses in Scotland. With signings of this type its more about the mentality they have than the level they have played at that determines whether they will be a success or not. Worth a years deal with an option Absolutely correct. He can only score against what he's up against. FFS Jason Cummings has never proved himself in the Scottish top flight but many on here would take him in a second. From the limited highlights, it looks like this lad has a decent scoring record and looks sharp around the 6 yard box. He's a big unit too, something that we're definitely short on!

OTT Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Or 343 he could play.I honestly don't know what way Cathro wants to play though it's been one failed experiment to the next. Obviously the midfield is still a bit of an unknown but a front 3 potentially of Isma - Stockton - Stewart , is actually quite exciting. I'm a bit worried after watching the highlights though, he doesn't do anything with the ball besides shoot (no beating players etc) Sutton didn't work out well so a bit concerned it could be a similar situation. That said, he does seem very clinical in front of goal and a lot of our players have been choking more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigboi Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I've no intention of getting involved with tit for tat nonsense that you're trolling for. The performance of most of our players has went backwards under the current management team. As much as I hope I'm wrong, I don't see anything to suggest any new signings like this will be any different. Berra as an experienced and established international will! - fingers crossed - be exempt from this. Feel free to contribute anything useful to this thread yourself The January signings have been pish to begin with the rest have been hot and cold or injured Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighTimes Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 A Levein special? Did you only just discover the existence of Craig Levein? How about De Vries, Hartley, Fuller, Souttar, Berra, Stamp, Mckenna, Zeefuik, Eckersley, Gomis, Alexander for us - all solid to great? And for D Utd, Dillon, Bauben, Sandaza, Daly, Hunt, Gomis, Flood, Dixon... same, all good performers in Scotland He also overhauled Utd's youth system, leading to the likes of Gauld and Souttar coming through. But it's much better to judge him on the last two transfer windows instead. This place needs one of those LIKE buttons you get on Facebook. Spot on post.

Hh51 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Just don't think Cathro should be handed a 'punt' . He needs players who have a strong chance of succeeding here so the manager doesn't have a say on who comes in ? He's just given players and told to try and fit them in, so what if he doesn't want them does he just bite his tongue cos he's scared to question the real manager ?

JamboAl Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 You need natural wide players who can cross a ball for this type of player. The way Cathro wants to play with 3 at the back means that the onus will fall on the wing backs rather than a Johnny Hayes type winger. We currently have Liam Smith and Oshaniwa as our only senior wing backs so I would say those two areas are a high priority in the signings stakes. But who says we're not going to sign a winger eg rumours already suggest McGinn and McMullen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavydavy Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 But who says we're not going to sign a winger eg rumours already suggest McGinn and McMullen Yes we may well do however McGinn is allegedly off to Millwall, no idea about McMullen.I was suggesting this set-up as this is how Cathro was setting the team up with three at the back and pushing the two wing backs up when we had the ball which is possibly why we leaked so many goals. Personally I would prefer natural wingers rather than attacking full backs unless they have a great engine on them it's a hard job to attack and tehn get back again to defend.

LeylandJambo Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I've watched a bit of the National League and have no doubt some could do very well up here. I say we go for the beast that is Jon Parkin and pair him up with Zeefuik. That would put the fear of shite into any opposition I'd take Parkin in a heartbeat. He was excellent at Preston.

amadjambo Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 No idea what this lad is like, but hope we play to his strengths and not try and get him to play an unfamiliar role. Wonder if he will be in the middle of a front 3 with Isma on the left, and another new signing on the right? Could be quite and exciting and attacking line up.
