Plays wide right but cuts in to the centre to shoot with his left.

Looks like a useful addition to our striker options.

Time will tell if McMenamin and Nahmani will improve our cutting edge from last season.

And there is also Greive, Ayunga, Olusanya + Offord and Jamieson champing at the bit.

Could be interesting to see who become established as regular starters this season.

Grieve, Olusanya, Offord and Jamieson will not score the goals we need sadly

Which is why we’ve signed McMenamin and Nahmani and are after a third forward 

[linwood buddie]

Signing another current internationalist we are being spoilt.

[Cookie Monster]

With Ayunga out till Feb

Has there been an update since his video appearance over the water?

[StanleySaint]

Don't think so, from what I could tell it sounds like he could be back Sept /Oct time.

I'd say Jamieson has a good chance and Offord a chance to be effective forwards at SPL level.  Goalscorers?  Maybe not regular or main scorers.

Grieve toils manfully and links up well, he lacks the physical presence he needs to take advantage of the little space he forges for himself.  For him, it is always about the out-ball and the occasional nibble from goalmouth stramashes, though i do remember at least one very good goal from around the edge of the box.  It might be that he will be better with better personnel around him.  I can see why manager's keep guys like him in the side as it at least keeps us competitive in tight matches, we just need to be looking beyond that tactic now and turning more of these tight results into clear victories.

Get these 4 guys off the wage bill, never going be good enough...

Good to see you're still fully committed to supporting and encouraging our players.

Why spoil the habit of a lifetime?

Post match Robbo said looking for another striker, does this mean someone on way out or out on loan?

Could mean some of our players will be expected to play out wide rather than through the middle?

I hope so.

Would be good to get a striker in this week

[Saint@Johnstone]

Record in signing strikers has been poor so hope he doesn’t try the same kind of players who have proved insufficient.

Goal scorers are hard to find. Also needs good service to create the chances.

Think we need centre half and desperately need a left back. Taylor, Tanser are defo not up to it for those positions and Dunne at times is a bombscare. Midfielder would be decent and get Jamieson, Offord, Grieve out on loan....Ayunga prob won't be up and running properly till next year...might need to keep Grieve....still think goalie situation is worrying....

Can you see us getting Theirry Small again on a seasons loan ?

I fecking hope not, while there is a player there his blood rushing to head moments were shocking

[Ethan]

Small would be a good addition. I am sure Robbo can coach the madness out of him

Taylor is definitely good enough to play centre back.

Hopefully not 

[Saint@Johnstone]

Taylor and Small are both hopeless, into the sea with them. Our end to last season was worrying, just nothing up front and goals scarce. We must qualify from a very weak L Cup group at the very least. Hope the keeper signs back on and maybe the new Irish lad can score a few goals. Won’t bother going until league season starts , that’s if season ticket arrives 😁

[elvis]

Agreed a deal last night with another forward player and Israeli player arrived on Saturday and will be available for next Saturdays Arbroath game.info from our manager.
