faraway saint Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 2 year deal Just waiting for official site confirmation, but his agency has confirmed it on Twitter. Whit, what about all the "he can get tae fcuk" brigade? GREAT news. JJ, time you changed the record. Quote
JJ McG Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Whit, what about all the "he can get tae fcuk" brigade? GREAT news. JJ, time you changed the record. There was no moaning from me after 6 o'clock lasntight, I put the feet up with a peroni after I found out he was signing this morning. Excellent signing. Quote
JM1 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) I genuinely didn't expect him to sign. Hope he starts tomorrow and provides that experience at the back that we need. ETA: Obviously I knew he would sign once lovezo confirmed it - another exclusive from the main man ITK. Edited August 28, 2015 by JM1 Quote
Ayrshire Saints Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Until I see it on the OS and see him paraded I'm not getting overly excited (great if true though) Quote
nosferatu Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Injury prone and too old. Never rated him. Quote
AllyM Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 I genuinely didn't expect him to sign. Hope he starts tomorrow and provides that experience at the back that we need. No reason why he can't. He's been training with us almost as long as most of the team. A really good signing, I think, both in terms of ability and leadership. We'll still take a bit of time to settle down, but we'll get there - it is still only August. I wouldn't fancy being up against us in the play-offs at the end of the season. Are you watching Dunfermline, Peterhead and Ayr? Quote
faraway saint Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Partick made him an offer, I hope we tell him to piss off. Murray has wasted enough time with Webster. There was no moaning from me after 6 o'clock lasntight, I put the feet up with a peroni after I found out he was signing this morning. Excellent signing. Aye, just as well you're nothing to do with running the club. Quote
TopCat Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Yeah you do have to laugh at all our fans who were telling the manager to tell Webster to ' chase himself ' and ' get to f**k ' and 'move on to other targets' etc. Thank goodness the manager never listened to them eh! This is a real coup for Murray and the club. This is our best signing on paper since Thompson in 2012. Webster is an experienced international player with 28 Scotland caps, he's a Scottish cup winning captain and he was playing regularly in League 1 with Coventry last season. He's just turned 33 too so is a decent age. In terms of caliber, he's right at the top end of what a club like us could be signing. Now just official confirmation... Quote
Ayrshire Saints Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Injury prone and too old. Never rated him. 9 mins - your standards are slipping. Must do better ! Quote
nosferatu Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Andy Webster makes Greg Denham look accomplished Quote
Ayrshire Saints Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Andy Webster makes Greg Denham look accomplished Remind me how many caps Denham had ? that is just a stupid, stupid thing to come out with ! Quote
div Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 A ridiculous amount of work went in to getting these two deals over the line this week. Webster could have got more money elsewhere, Shankland was wanted by four other clubs. Nobody saying these two players will instantly transform our season but the manager now has a pretty strong squad to choose from. Quote
Stu Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Great signing for us, exactly what we need at the back. Wonder if the two year deal swung it? Quote
elvis Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Not trying to put a dampner on this but Coventry fans say he is utter pish so don't get to excited yet . Quote

Coventry fans have bee through a lot in recent years, they're keener to boo things than we are. I watched him last season versus Preston and he looked good, drops deeper and patrols behind the other central defender. Quote

RussellV1 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 I'd make him captain straight away Quote
blcknwhte_lj Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Good signing, kelly back to LB then? Might just sort out our shaky defence, Shanks and Gallagher up top, just need to sort out the midfied now Quote

I watched him last season versus Preston and he looked good, drops deeper and patrols behind the other central defender. And other than "The Rangers" Preston are a far stronger side than anything we'll face in the league this year. Quote
