jamboinglasgow Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Good to see him announced. From all reports does seem a really promising player and highly regarded in Australia. Its great to see us being proactive and at least getting 1 signing completed before January window opens. Wonder if we have any similar deals close to completion?

Maybe £200k or something maybe? I've worked it out to be around 75-80k possibly. Could be anything though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you name a room that is good enough for us that we could afford. Also needs to be a room that would want to have us as guests of course. 😆 It's worth a try. We could "push the boat out" and maybe get something like the Carlton and if you could arrange for a couple of beautiful youngish blonde females to attend then we could have a party - or a get together, as Boris would say.😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karipidis Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 13 hours ago, BackOfTheNet said: Again, I see it completely differently. For instance against Rangers their left back turned centre back Bassey had Boyce in his back pocket. Stood off him until a ball was played and toe poked it away almost every time. I also don’t think he’s great with his back to goal either and I really don’t see many headers one when Gordon hoofs it. But as I say, that’s not his game or why we signed him and to be honest if he genuinely had those attributes as well as his goal stats he’d be playing a higher level than he has in his career. Completely disagree, thought Bassey really struggled with Boyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky jamboa Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Seems a promising signing and exactly what we need - an attacking right wing back. We've got into good positions down that side this season but blown it because Smith doesn't have that side to his game. Wonder if this will be the end for Smith, or if we'll keep him as back up or when we need to be more defensive? He deserves another contract due to his consistency over the last few years.

Already has a 12 month extension option on current deal if he plays enough games this season. He must either have played the required number or be very close so I’d think he will be here next season unless someone offers him a two year deal come summer. Unlikely I’d think.

OTT Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 It makes me so happy that Joe Savage is at the club. It adds an air of competence and reassurance to recruitment. Like we're not just throwing shit at a wall and hoping it sticks anymore. Can't wait to see how he gets on. Could totally change the dynamic of our play in having a right back we can rely on to get forward and contribute to attacks. Can't help but think we're on the cusp of one of the best squads we've seen in years. A commanding CB and maybe a Milinkovic style winger and we're golden IMO.
