Should add that this is the Record so is probably a heap of shit. Scott Burns is better than most, in fact he’s the only decent journalist that writes for that hun rag.

He’s 3rd choice right back in a team that features Jake Mulraney in the first 11. He’s 25 and has played a total of 1 single first team professional matches in his career. Most of his “professional” experience seems to consist of a single season playing for a reserve team managed by one Stephen Glass. So in a way I’m happy to sign him as it will be a very early indicator of what Glass is all about. If this guy signs as a starting RB and is completely out of his depth, we can reasonably infer that Glass is either a terrible judge of player or a stooge for some pan-Atlantic soccer franchise experiment (or both). If he’s actually good then that’s obviously a better outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The Sun is linking us with Jackson Irvine. In same article, Martin Boyle has a £500k buyout clause in his contract. Must be worth testing the waters at that kind of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign Jackson Irvine as his replacement on a free, & use the £1m or whatever from McCrorie to offer for Boyle & a no1 centre forward.

Not sure where he fits in if we keep McRorie and Ferguson, but I think there's a good chance we sell Ferguson this summer. Also njot sure where we see McRorie playing, defense, midfield.......

ABC Australia had him on their grandstand podcast recently, came across really well. They were loving have two aussies playing with each other. We’d get a bit of interest over there if we signed either / both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA-Don Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 4 hours ago, RedStarTorphins said: I’ve given you the solution in my post Yes you did! I though McRorie was excellent pre Covid and would like to see him kept and in center mid. Wouldn’t mind him alongside Brown with a proper #10 (which we haven’t had since Christie) ahead of them. I think Ferguson is at the same point McKenna was at when we knocked back big money for him. New team and new manager, who knows how this plays out for Ferguson so if we’re offered good money we should take it. A lot of negativity around Glass and now the new signings. I’m willing to be optimistic. Jet, Brown, and Gallagher are a good start, think all 3 are solid additions. Irvine would be a good add too, and willing to embrace Robertson if he’s coming too. Saying this, it is the flair players that matter to me most and we honestly need at least one winger and a #10. McLennan and Kennedy aren’t good enough and Hayes is on the decline. Mcginn is done. Hedges thrived alongside wright and needs creative players to play off. We do need these type of players for Jet to be effective too in my mind. Boyle would be a good addition but to me it’s these players that need to be signed that will have the biggest impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggy89 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Just had a look at wiki, as thought JET might have been a left over McInnes target (still may be). Thought he might have signed him for Bristol City, but appears JET signed for both ourselves and Brizzle within a few months of McInnes getting punted.

RicoS321 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Meh. McKenna did exactly the same but still continued to play well for us. He'll be doing what his agent tells him is best to do. He's got a long time left on his deal so we hold the cards and can hold out for a good offer. Run his course here so a good offer will hopefully be forthcoming.
