kevo_smfc Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Saw his goal at Cappielow and even Usain Bolt would have struggled to get out of position in time to miss the opportunity! It fell right for him, but far too many times in the game he picked the wrong positional run/space when we were on the attack leaving McMullen and the midfielders no one to slide a quick ball or cross to. That is where we failed to kill the game off, and Morton came back into it. I think he has "it" but he needs the guile to get the most out of "it"... Like a certain, Jet-Blackhaired teamate in his heyday. Like I said he needs to be "coached/mentored" by someone who did it instinctively.... Do we have any players on the books with thzt pedigree... Hint, hint! I do also believe he will benefit immensly when Goodwin and whoever is signed in midfield come in. At present Agnew is feckin incapable of distributing the ball forwards, Mallan has good and not so good games, Carswell trudges on. With one or two genuine defensive/holding midfielders Mallan would be freed up to push on, McMullan wouldnt have to collect deep so often, and you could pair Shankland with Thommo as the latter wouldnt be required to run till his arse was gasping for breath in an organised attack minded side. Murray clearly wasnt getting the best out of him, probably most notably the fact he barely gave him a start. Hes getting more game time now and 3 in 3 under Rae may be proving to be a turning point in his time with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Apparently Rae was interviewed before the game and mentioned that he had a player in for signing talks and that the signing might be announced soon. Fingers crossed it's somebody decent after watching that drivel tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Gilhooley Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Heard there was interest in David Clarkson of Motherwell. Great . A short arse striker with a crap goal rate is just what we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Its the market we are in - guys that would not get a game for the team they are currently with. I just pray every night we can sign Billy but the longer it goes on probably the less the chances of doing so. With the Goal Machine you get effort, workrate, physique, experience and he can play in several positions. However tiny tots are all the rage down Greenhill Rd these days so probably Clarkson fits the bill better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Billy Mehmet, an all action midfielder (or four!) in the mould of Steven Thomson and a creative type wide man or central player are all desperately needed. The defence can muddle through 'til the end of the season. Yes it's not very good but lack of chances to score goals are what's killing us as the moment, if we go 1-0 down we know there's probably no chance of salvaging anything.

A left back would be nice as well as Sean Kelly shouldn't be allowed on the pitch, he's absolutely murder, awful. The boy Jordan Stewart can not be any worse than him.

stlucifer Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I would sell Shull's taxi to help get Mehmet back I notice you wouldn't put anything belonging to you to get him. Though..... By your touting him all over the place maybe I'm being presumptuous. It's WHAT you'd be "putting forward" that troubles me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you would be aware that I had said on another thread that I would be willing to make a regular donation to Billy's wages if required. You must have missed that reference to Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Watching the Scottish cup highlights, Dunfermline seemingly operate in an even harder market than us, yet they can pull an exciting attacking player like El Bakhtoui out the bag.

What I'd give for a player as exciting as him just now. He started against us when we pumped them 4-0 a few months back. That's really the only game we won easy all season. Thought he was hopeless like the rest of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Watching the Scottish cup highlights, Dunfermline seemingly operate in an even harder market than us, yet they can pull an exciting attacking player like El Bakhtoui out the bag. What I'd give for a player as exciting as him just now. He never played professional football before Dunfermline. He was in a team that played beach football in Morocco being a bit of a super star. Jim Jeffries was tipped off that he would be worth having. He spent a year playing on grass before he made any impact. No doubt bigger teams are keeping an eye on him.
