Frank Reynolds 3,359 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Any word of us being linked with a new keeper?Considering we are strengthening at the back, I'd hate to see it all undone by sticking with Bell Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBear. 8,499 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'd say a goal scorer is a higher priority right now.I don't rate Cammy, but he'll have a new look defence in front of him so see how he does this season. He's fine for this season, IMO, but I'd want us bringing in a quality number 1 for next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's fine for this season, IMO, but I'd want us bringing in a quality number 1 for next season.I think the Fir Park game showed we need a keeper whether or not the defence is improved.The goal he gave away killed any chance we had to comeback and was frankly not even amateur standard keeping. He panics and flaps far too often as was sadly evident that day Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al 55 9,205 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Cammy Bell is more than adequate for this level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I know many are under the impression that we should go out and find a new starting eleven but it ain't going to happen. Many of the players from last season are still here earning wages and they'll feature next season. We need a RB, a striker, a defensive midfielder, etc. Goalkeeper isn't a priority positon.

folkestoneger 7,972 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Cammy Bell is more than adequate for this level. I don't believe he is.Poor goalkeeping, from him or Simonsen, cost us last year in some very important games Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I doubt he'll make a decision on a goalkeeper until he sees Cammy in training. The positions he has earmarked early on are the ones where we're very short in. I expect a striker or a winger in next. Outwith Eustace that is.

B1872 20,441 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Cammy Bell is more than adequate for this level.Yes but he isn't good enough when we step up in the cups and he certainly won't be good enough when we get promoted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al 55 9,205 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I didn't say he was good enough, I said he was adequate. There are currently higher priorities.Cammy Bell didn't cost us promotion, not by a long shot (or looping cross ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Cammy Bell isn't the reason we finished the season in 3rd spot. The entire team was shite and so was the manager up until McCall. I'd like to think we'll go up automatically this year and wont be involved in playoff games. Couldn't care less about the cups they're just a bonus.

MARK92GERS 804 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 A new keeper imo is the last position I'd worry about we need some wingers and a 20+ a season goalscorer should be next priority Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconHoof 49 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 New keeper is definitely a priority imo, we only have one at the club and he isn't good enough. Yes we'll have a new defence but opposition will at least get a chance or two and I've no confidence that Bell is up to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of us knew anything of the Kiernan deal until a bid was accepted so I'd imagine there is still work being done behind the scenes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcd1983 25 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 With simonsen and Lee robertson away, a goalkeeper should be on the list of potential signings regardless of cammy bell staying in goals or not, Jamie McDonald signed for killie after having a not to bad season at falkirk, he would have been an ok signing for us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR 1,480 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Cammy Bell isn't the reason we finished the season in 3rd spot. The entire team was shite and so was the manager up until McCall. This. Although that was a fucking shocker at Fir Park we were utterly brutal at Ibrox the week before and pretty much every other game before.I'd like a new keeps, but I don't think he's top priority. A DM in front of a lively CB pairing will do for starters, now let's get some threat of our own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it was not only his fault.As I said we have higher priorities, if there is a good option on a free for low wages then fair enough. Cammy can be replaced next close season if required.

Perhaps I'm wrong though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
