FreshMaker 11 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I don't think we need to sign anyone. We usually loan our youth to clubs of a higher standard than the division we're in at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Gary Twigg - Shamrock Rovers striker, Scottish and is their top goal scorer with 15 goals this season so far.His twitter username is @Twigg67. For some reason I don't think he would be too keen on joining us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually loan our youth to clubs of a higher standard than the division we're in at the moment.We only have 16 senior player, including two goalkeepers and a hush of players who's futures remain uncertain.We need to sign at least five players this Summer and that number will only increase if the few international players that we have left i.e Bocanegra, Edu, Goian and Bedoya leave.

mrmytto 220 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Kenny Deuchar. Lower league legend and goal machine Deuchar must stay. Deuchar must play. Home and away He could play the doctor/player role and save a wage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Carpintero 546 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 A loan approach for Stevie May would be a good move, though I don't know if it'd get far.Why not just buy him and build for the future? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue corn flakes 1,282 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 The best of the guys who play in the N.Irish prem division would stroll it in division 3 and their wages wouldn't be that high. bout £800 a week. These players we sign should only be given two year contracts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senna 735 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Why not just buy him and build for the future?I neither think he'd come full time nor would St Farmer sell him to anybody, never mind us.Might be a bit of FM mentality, but perhaps a loan deal with an agreed fee might be our best chance.

johnw 22 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Folk from the first and second would defo come to us, imagine playing for a huge team and wanting to further their career, make more money. Of course they would. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersAvA92 53 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Am I clutching at straws when I say Nacho Novo? The wee guy's Rangers through and through, would surely want to come back under Super Ally and get the club back to the top? He's a free agent I'm sure.

TreyU 5 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 What about young MLS talent? There is good talent here if given a chance. Especially after November with the MLS's whacked out scheduling. Chris Wondoloski is the leading scorer with 14 goals in 17 fixtures and he makes a modest 175k US per year.1. Ike Opara, D, San Jose Earthquakes. The U.S. Olympic hopeful struggled with injuries during his first two seasons in the league, playing in just 19 total MLS games in 2010 and 2011. He's healthy now though, coming off a productive offseason in which he established himself as a starter -- and occasional captain -- for the U.S. U-23 team. Expect the talented center back to have a big year if he stays fit.2. Markus Holgersson, D, New York Red Bulls. Holgerrson should do wonders for the Red Bulls' defense, which struggled at times -- especially on set pieces -- in 2011. The 26-year-old center back, who received his first cap for Sweden in January, was impressive in preseason and reportedly turned down several European sides before joining New York this winter. He'll start alongside Wilman Conde and Stephen Keel in 2012.3. Darlington Nagbe, M/F, Portland Timbers. Timbers coach John Spencer hasn't been shy about talking Nagbe up this preseason, calling last year's No. 2 overall pick "by far technically the best player we've got" in The Oregonian and telling SI.com that he expects the 21-year-old to "have a breakout season and let everyone know who he is." Nagbe, who scored three goals and had two assists in 28 appearances in 2011, is currently competing with Jorge Perlaza and Bright Dike for the right to partner Designated Player Kris Boyd up top.4. Tony Beltran, D, Real Salt Lake. Real Salt Lake is expecting big things from Beltran, who will be the fulltime starter at right back with Robbie Russell now in D.C. The 2008 No. 3 overall pick had a strong 2011, defending solidly and showing decent attacking chops in 22 league appearances. Don't be surprised if the 24-year-old plays his way onto U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann's January 2013 camp roster.5. Joao Plata, M/F, Toronto FC. The tiny Ecuadorean -- Plata is just 5-foot-2 -- was one of the few bright spots in Toronto last year, tallying three goals and five assists in league play and scoring four times in the CONCACAF Champions League. Spending all of 2012 alongside DP forward Danny Koevermans up top -- the Dutch striker had eight goals in 10 games after signing with Toronto last summer -- should only improve Plata's strong rookie numbers.6. Dilly Duka, M, Columbus Crew. The U.S. U-23 winger came on strong at the end of 2011, starting the Crew's last nine regular season games and scoring a goal in both of Columbus's final two matches. With Robbie Rogers now at Leeds United and talented Chilean international Milovan Mirosevic slotted in as the Crew's new No. 10, Duka should get all of the playing time and attacking help he needs to have a breakout season.7. Kelyn Rowe, M, New England Revolution. Rowe was one of the breakout players of the preseason, turning heads with impressive performances throughout Revs camp. This year's third-overall pick was the darling of the recently completed Desert Diamond Cup, establishing himself as one of the early favorites for the Rookie of the Year award with some highlight-reel goals and solid buildup play at the Tucson tournament.8. Perry Kitchen, M, D.C. United. Kitchen will make the switch to defensive midfielder in 2012 after spending most of his rookie year playing at right back. Holding mid will be a crucial position for United, which gave up the fourth-most goals in the league last year and won't get much defensive help from other midfielders Chris Pontius, Andy Najar and Branko Boskovic. How Kitchen plays in front of the back four will go a long way in determining whether or not D.C. will break its four-year playoff drought.9. Fabian Castillo, M/F, FC Dallas. Only 19, Castillo has a chance to excel during his second year in MLS. The Colombian attacker was decent in his first year in the league, scoring two goals and adding three assists in 21 MLS games in 2011. The speedy Castillo will likely get most of his time on the right wing, a spot where he could thrive opposite the always dangerous Brek Shea.10. Roger Torres, M, Philadelphia Union. The offseason departures of Sebastian Le Toux (traded to Vancouver) and Justin Mapp (selected by Montreal in the expansion draft) create some room in the lineup for Torres, who scored three goals and added two assists in part-time action last year. He'll need to be a driving force in the Union's attack for Philly to have any shot at duplicating their strong 2011 this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alloabear 4 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Getna signed up james grady, neil mcfarlane (hearts), alan main (st johnstone), chris innes (dundee utd) and stevie tosh (aberdeen) when they were in division three. They were all 1st team players at their club. Left them for more dosh at gretna.They pished division three and two with these guys and younger lads.I've watched plenty of alloa games over the years in div 1,2 and 3. Caught a few in 3rd last year. Gers will win league with small squad that we have at the moment.Queens park are probably best team outwith gers in that league. Teams like east stirling and montrose are fucking gash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Bob Malcolm anybody?Has slowly been dropping down the leagues for the past few years now and although not the most talented player in the world he'd probably do a job in SD3.
