I've had this in my head all the time.

 

Robbie loves to sign a big unit of a striker in January to help push us over the line.

 

Would be interesting if we went down another route and signed someone like the lad we wanted from SK.

 

 

Erm, both?

Push us over the line for more eye-bleeding fitbaw. Humphrys looks like he could be that 'big' striker, i'm hoping the japanese lad is good.

Considering all the talk about Asian players and that being a market we have been looking at, I would be amazed if we didn't sign (at least attempt to sign) a player from either South Korea or Japan in January.

 

It seems that unless you have big money, January is the best time to sign a player from those leagues as their seasons run March to November, thus teams are reluctant to lose players mid season in the summer. I hope we have learned lessons from trying to sign Ogashiwa and Seung-Woo (still think we will try and sign the later.) I suspect we would have to make bids before the window opens for the work permit to go through in time. I also think if we know we have money to spend due to European football then it allows us to have better luck than last time in signing.

Might not always look good but unlike your wee diddy team we'll finish 3rd and enjoy European adventures again next season. 

[PTBCAL]

We are absolutely confident of finally getting the Korean lad in January 

[DC_92]

I notice Lee isn't in the latest Korea squad. With only 5 games left of the season and Suwon in the bottom half, it seems very unlikely he'll make the World Cup squad.

 

I'd guess that probably boosts our chances of signing him.

Well you joined in February and that was only your 30th post.

 

If you come on here with a blank account and spend months silent only to come out with pish like that when you do speak.....You definitely give off a whiff of vermin.

Shelling a baw long made my eyes bleed, as does passing it sideways. Play forwards, we've got 2 of the most creative players in the league.

We did not shell the ball long to Simms very often and our passing is more often than not forwards ……….. no idea what you have been watching

That's because we never pass the ball forwards, isn't it?

It is particularly impressive that Devlin and McKay see so much of the ball when we shell it long to the big man up top ………….. always heartens me to see them running on to the pitch Cammy on stilts and Barrie with a footstool under his arm

Big problem was that if you threw it an inch above his head he wasn't getting it as he couldn't get off the ground

Ha!

 

As an aside, isn't it weird that we now NEVER use Smith's long throw.  Even late in games we need a goal, we just don't use it as a tactic.  I'm glad the Levein times when it was our only tactic are gone, but you'd think we'd get the CHs up and get it in the box occasionally, either in games we're the underdog or late in games...

I never thought his throw was all that long (did it ever reach the front post or level with it?), and seldom, if ever, brought a goal or even a near thing. The time it took him to prepare to take the throw always ensured the defence had plenty of time to prepare and knew exactly what was coming. I'm really glad it appears to be a thing of the past now.

Yeah, not really saying I want it back as such, just funny it was such a big part of our play and now it's literally zero.  COuldn't tell you the last time we tried to put a long throw in to the box.

 

Slightly interesting is all.

I'm not 'getting' your humour here. The very thought of trying to take a long throw-in is enough to make this fragile-backed poster squirm. In my experience, agony like no other ... and impossible to (properly) cure.

I took it from your post you weren't pining for it, I was just making the point it wasn't ever all that effective and we seem to make more progress (but not great) from taking quicker throw ins before the defenders are able to regroup properly. I suppose with more creative players who can control the ball with their first touch, ball retention from a throw in is seen as the way to go.

Totally mate.  Been a bugbear of mine for years we never take quick throws.  Always seem to let teams get set.  Be great if we could get more of a mindset to see a throw as an opportunity to catch a team on the hop more often.
