Ryan_1 1,136 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Don't want to sound negative etc but it's a bit uninspiring that we're signing all these league 1 type players. That's what Inverness, Motherwell etc do.Fuck craig whyte.Hate this attitude.Who do you suggest we sign? Overrated, billy big times just like last season? Put the wages through the roof again?Last time I checked Inverness and Motherwell are Premiership sides, we are not. We are not at the level were we can sign the likes of Jelavic, Bougherra and Mendes. If teams like Inverness can establish themselves as a Premiership side and win the Scottish Cup with League 1 type players who are we to turn our noses at them when we couldn't even get promoted from the division below Inverness? Motherwell pumped us 6-1 with those League 1 types.Dunno if you watch League 1 down south much but I'd go out on a limb and say it's a better standard than the Scottish Championship and alot of their sides are probably better than most of the Scottish Championship and even lower end Premiership sides.For me I know there is quality down there, Warburton has a better knowledge than any of us of those leagues and I personally trust him to pick out the best players of those divisions and bring them here. Give me hungry, determined players over those players having to come down a division, more than likely overpaid and find them unmotivated against weaker opposition week-in-week-out.

Some people seem to be living in denial re - the situation we are currently in. We should be delighted we have a manager who is intent in dragging the club into the modern era, using his knowledge of the English leagues to sign hungry players who still have ambitions to reach the top of their profession. It seems the lessons of the past three wasted years have bypassed some on here.Mark Warburton has given me more hope and confidence in the direction he is taking us than almost anyone else in my 40 plus years of attending games.Mention should (imo) also be given to Craig Mulholland who shares this philosophy.Exciting years lie ahead so lets embrace them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the blueprint we should have been following years ago, especially when we were demoted to the bottom tier, but less said about that the better.It's happening now and I personally am sitting back and lapping it up.

Super1872 468 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Don't see how this is anything but a positive signing if we manage to get him, the guy is young and highly regarded with teams in the championship after him and we are lacking in the goalkeeping department.Really excited for the coming season, hopefully we get a few more in soon and can hit the ground running.

The way I see it Warburton is looking for players who can get better but are not yet able to break into the big time. It is not the same as signing players of a particular league's standard, but of finding players that need that extra bit of coaching, exposure to big time games and so on. That's who he is targeting.

Joscro 1 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Certainly likes to parry the ball out as I see on you tube, not a fan of that but if it gets cleared that'll do me. Young, hungry and focussed, looked great on the clips but every goalie would, maybe the kind of keeper we need. Also agile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also agile.It seems to be the done thing these days, I don't know if it's got something to do with the balls but most decent shots seem to be parried rather than caught. European keepers have been doing it for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getstiffed 8,863 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Fact is the top English clubs are more likely to take a punt on a Spanish/Italian/German (etc) youngster simply because the English market is so overpriced that "a punt" becomes a pretty big gamble.

Gillete 1,338 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Birmingham after him aswell as a few other clubs I can't see this one happening if there's championship clubs offering bigger wages and a number 1 place as he's not got a transfer fee which is attractive to many Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
