TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Posted June 21, 2018 Erm. For the time being I'm a bit meh? Know absolutely nothing about this lad. Never heard of him in ma puff. That of course is not to say he won't be any good. However, (and again I'm not saying he isnae), but on what basis is he "Highly rated" or even for that matter just "rated"? Or more to the point, by whom (other than some Darlington fans) is he highly rated. It's a term that seems to get banded around with no apparent basis in fact. Quote

He participated in a week long Vardy V9 Academy session, that was attended and facilitated by, among others, Alan Stubbs. As such, he is presumably highly rated by our manager. That kind of works for me. Edited June 21, 2018 by Drew Quote

Adam Campbell, Adam Drury, Emanuelle Sonupe and Jake Caprice all came 'highly rated' Hopefully of confirmed he will make more of an impact than they did. Quote

Stephane Bahoken also came highly-rated, was shite, and is now brilliant, so y'know, maybe a wee bit of patience is also required sometimes. Quote

It's all a gamble. I popped on the Sunderland fans forum when some on here were speculating on today's signing being one of their young guys. Bloody hell Sunderland have shelled out over £5million on individual "prospects" that seem to be utterly hopeless. Hopefully this is where Alan Stubbs and Darren Jackson show their expertise.

ged62 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Posted June 21, 2018 Was this site visited by some oriental hackers or was it the Hong Kong St Mirren supporters club making some comments, or was it just my computer? I’m in Malta [emoji1160] & thought the same when I logged on, few oriental restaurants over here I was just about to blame them [emoji23] Quote

Froggie Posted June 21, 2018 Report Posted June 21, 2018 To go from the highs of last season, even the second half of the preceding season and then losing our best player and best manager in living memory is a real blow just when theres been a great atmosphere among the fans and in the town. It seems many already have us as likely relegation candidates. I am not impressed with either the new manager or any of the signings - I know theres no basis for the pessimism yet but I have a bad feeling - and sincerely hope we are not going down the Craig route of lower league English players which is a huge risk playing against the likes of the old firm, Aberdeen and the capital clubs. Only time will tell, of course, and I wish the team well this coming season. Hope not to be watching from behind a sofa at some matches,lol. Quote

stlucifer Posted June 21, 2018 Report Posted June 21, 2018 Not too impressed with spending a fair chunk of cash, in relative terms, on a kid hoping he develops. Hope it works out but AS is starting to worry me with the lack of players coming in. One kid so far? Quote
