Sunny Saint Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Sounds promising but a striker is the last thing we need right now! We have Thommo, Guy, Parkin, Reilly and the likes of McLean, McGowan and Imrie all forward-thinking players and all capable of chipping in with a fair few goals. We literally have five fit defenders at the club. We don't need another striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam M Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 He's a winger rather than a striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I think there is always room for another goal threat to be honest, especially one with a lot of pace. Wouldn't be surprised to see a certain midfielder returning to the club on loan in January either. Defensive recruit is a must though, totally agree, and I imagine Danny does too.

Super_Saints Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 This is the player Danny told me about yesterday but didnt want to post it on here incase it was getting kept under wraps Danny was very positive about him and said he has lots of pace compared him to Walcott for pace and thinks could be a real asset to us Also told me he is hopeful the dummett loan deal will be extended and a few other bits that a will keep to myself for now haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Stephen McGinn? Either him or Simon Lappin. I can't think who else it could be. I fully expect Kenny McLean to heading out the door, sadly.

Of course there is always room but at a club like ours with a limited budget, it's all about priorities. Obviously if we were getting him on a really cheap deal which wouldn't impact on our budget then that would be a big plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alba Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I'm guessing Stephen McGinn? Either him or Simon Lappin. Lappin's gone on loan with Cardiff so not him (got sent off in his first game I believe!) McGinn much more likely. Watford tried to send him out on loan recently but couldn't find a club willing to take him before the English loan window closed. Zola been saying the lad needs games to help get back to form after that long-term injury he had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zola been saying the lad needs games to help get back to form after that long-term injury he had. Aye, right enough. If I'm being brutally honest, I'm not 100% thrilled with the idea of our club being used for the purposes of easing players back into matches after injury, or giving them a run-out during their own club's close seasons. Sure, there is a chance that we might benefit from having their services at our disposal, but I always wonder about just how committed they will be in terms of going in for challenges, chasing lost causes etc. - all the things that you need as the season draws to a close.

I think the January window is a hard one to trade in, unless you have money to spend. Good players will all be under contract in the middle of the season so unless you either swap, or spend money, then chances are you are going to be looking at loan deals as being most likely form of movement. We will do well to hold on to McLean in January I reckon, he has had an excellent start to this season, scoring some spectacular goals and that won't have gone un-noticed. I reckon at least 3 new arrivals in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 So we could soon have a team lining up with McGinn, McGinn and McGinn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynard Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 As long as he doesn't end up another Bud Dwyer, it should be less than tragic. Google that one if you are too young to understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilPar72 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I think the only way that Danny would be having a closer look at an attacker is because this guy could have the potential to change a game single handedly. In the SPL to have a guy with real pace, cannot be underestimated! Danny said himself at the Q and A night that bolstering the defence is the priority. So Danny must see this guy as a potential coup!

barney Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 i read he's won an award in the states for being an "offensive player" . Do we need someone who has been awarded for being a pr*ck signing for the club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo_j Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I see the link is Joe McLaughlin. I remember the outcry when he signed but came in useful, hopefully he is doing us a turn here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovestreet Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Family in the states have seen this lad play, said if we get him he will rip teams apart. They say he is a fantastic player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Good point, but we do have a lot of offensive "fans" at our club. Some verbal. Some just feckin ugly. maybe that's when the new bar comes into it's own. they can all meet up after the match and rant and rave away.
