Fairbairn Posted May 27 Posted May 27 Thought this was worth starting a new thread as we hurtle towards our clubs making shiny new signings who will ultimately disappoint us!! Kicking things off, Rangers have signed Lawrence Shankland on what seems to a be free contract from Hearts. For once a quite shrewd bit of business by Rangers. Also linked with James Penrice at AEK Athens and Luke Graham at Dundee and good to see us finally look at some decent Scottish talent. Quote

Shankland is a quality signing - one we should have made years ago. Defensively we need a rebuild. I still can't believe last summer's recruitment bringing in so many loan players at the back and knowing that it was probably going to be Tavernier's last season. Quote

I wonder if it was going to be Tavernier's last season before Rohl came in? Either way, with his age and Sterling being made of Lego, longer term solutions should definitely have been looked at.

They’ve signed Shankland for nothing & will receive a reported player involvement fee of £11000 a day from FIFA while Scotland are involved the World Cup 🤪 Quote

Hertsscot Posted May 28 Posted May 28 Dylan Tait just left Falkirk for Dundee Utd. Good signing. Quote

scotlad Posted May 28 Posted May 28 I thought Mayo was quite good when he was at Thistle, although he was obviously playing in the Championship at that point. I felt we'd be lucky to sign him permanently as he seemed destined for the Premiership, and he was. I also regarded Lewis Neilson quite highly but he's another who's fallen off the radar. Quote

Hertsscot Posted June 1 Posted June 1 Looks like Calvin Miller is off to Hearts. Good move for him and them. But a bit worrying if you support Falkirk. Quote

Lyons legs IMO have gone, although i've never really been a huge fan of him. Always saw him a squad player and god knows why he was made captain. Mayo has fallen off a cliff the last 18 months.

He looked great for us to start then went downhill. Never a full back. Quote

I agree - is that where he played for you?? He's a decent CB though. Quote

Hmm, cheers, strange, we have decent full backs in Devlin, Lobban & Frame, Knoesters is decent but has had two bad injuries, in Robinson we trust ? 🤔🤦♂️ Quote

dan cake Posted June 6 Posted June 6 23 hours ago, Hertsscot said: Hearts getting a lot of business done early. They always do, identify your target and pay what’s required to get them early. Full pre season and bedded in from the get go, unfortunately the Hibernians usually leave it late when the advantage is with the player/selling club and it’s October till they’re up to speed. Annoys the fuck out of me, European games are the last week in July. The club make a big thing about qualifying yet always go in underprepared, making group stage European competition is a massive revenue stream for non old firm teams Quote
