Lord_Flatcap Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 ...apart from the ones he didn't score in. Was he not a trailist for just one game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Duke Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Exactly correct and last time I checked he is a sprinter not a professional footballer two entirely different sporting disciplines ! Indeed. So your assumption that because someone is big means that he won't be fast is very wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Duke Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Paul McGowan? ??? Paul McGowan isn't an example of the "good old days". He's an example of the modern day trend of big rich clubs hoarding players. And even then, he was in the Morton first team playing regularly at the age of 19.

kevo_smfc Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 My poiny was that he was at celtic till around the age of 23 with only one or two first team games for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM1 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Was he not a trailist for just one game?Nah, he scored in his first game then never scored again, including a game away at Dundee Utd where as soon as we went a few goals down, he grabbed the back of his thigh and requested to come off.

I remember it very clearly. He was too lazy to chase a ball and when the screams came from the Saints fans, he pretended to limp and held his leg. He didnt last long after that. Moussa was half decent. Scored a few goals, including one against Utd in what turned out to be his last game of a loan spell. The only reason we never extended it was because he picked up a knock that meant he'd be out of action for up to 4 weeks. He was starting to look pretty handy as well. But, the best memory of him. In his first game (can't remember who we played) he was awarded MOM over the tan not in the last few minutes of the match. Next thing, he starts shaking hands with the opposition players while waiting for a kick out!! Brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagnogo scored coming on as a substitute, think we beat Dundee. I have a feeling he wore the number 5 jersey and big Trigger did too. It may have been the Saturday before Killie hammered us in the League Cup Semi at Hampden. I don't remember him scoring again but I do remember him pulling up at Tannadice after about 20 mins or so. We may even have been a goal or two down by that point, think we got a bit of a doing that day too, maybe 4-0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemp Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Dagnogo only scored one goal but I certainly dont recall any play acting at Tannadice. Think you have fingered the wrong man. He used to enjoy going round Furys nightspot saying "im moussa dagnogo, st mirren striker". Not sure if it ever worked, lets face it he was no Ismael Goncalves.

Murray7 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hamilton are trying to resign Mikael Antoine-Curier, who is available on a free. Proven SPL goalscorer, I'd take him here if we can't get anyone else in with Thommo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabella Duke Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 We play a 4-2-3-1 formation. We play with one striker. We therefore do not need a striker to partner Steven Thompson. Harkins will bag 10-15 goals this season in his role behind Thompson. Kenny McLean has the potential to score goals if he is played out wide. He has the Andy Dorman habit of making runs behind defences. He can do that from a wide position where defensive midfielders can't track him. Darren McGregor will help tighten the defence at full back IMO. He'll also add something at set plays, both in attack and defence. What we need is someone as back up to Thompson, someone who can come off the bench when needed or, better still, give Thompson a run for his place in the side. All in all, I actually think we have a really good squad, one good enough for the top 6. The main problem we have is Danny Lennon's pseudo Barcelona tactics...

Do you think Gowzer is getting used to his full effectiveness then playing that deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if this were true, what then if Thompson gets injured or suspended. Anybody who thinks we can go through this season with Thompson as our only experienced striker has their head up their arse. We need somebody in now and Mikael Antoine-Curier would fit that bill for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in my post, from you selectively quoted, we need another striker to provide back up and competition to Thompson. Anybody who can't read my post properly has their head up their arse.

Isabella Duke Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Do you think Gowzer is getting used to his full effectiveness then playing that deep.

linwood buddie Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 N With the players we have, its either he plays deep or we drop Harkins, McLean or Teale... Don't think we would need to drop Teale he is more of a wide player ,same with Harkins I would maybe have him left mid ,don't think I would have a hard decision to make between playing Gowzer more forward or playing McLean there IMO ,Newton playing deeper with either McGinn or McLean beside him.

ADMITCHELL Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I think we should switch Harkins and Mcgowan. Gowser has more pace while Harkins seems capable of the defence splitting pass this IMHO would give the team a better balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy with Gowser in the middle of the park, think he suits the position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I barely noticed him playing there and it wasn't until boyd got sent off that he was able to help dictate the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
