BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Marquee signings are over rated especially nowadays when we can’t afford anybody who would truly be considered marquee. KeyserSoze 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what a marquee signing means when you play in Scotland with the financial constraints that go along with that I'm assuming we mean another Joey Barton type thing johanhentze 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a marquee signing nowadays? 20-25 years ago we could get a Laudrup, Gazza, de Boer or Numan. Now we piss ourselves with excitement when we sign a past his best 36 year old on loan who can’t get a game for a middling Premier League club. It’s very difficult, almost impossible, for us to pull a in their prime player out of the hat because they cost 30 million now and we barely have 3 million to spend on players.

Genuine question by the way. Going for “big names” hasn’t really worked for us for the best part of a decade now, even going back to players like Rothen, Diouf & James Beattie so I’m happy for us to go for lesser known players. I do understand some people’s frustrations at the lack of box office appeal of some of them though. frenv 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted we cant compete with EPL and probably some English Championship wages, but we're not exactly a small club. Think a lot of it comes down to Mark Allen and the scout team finding realistic targets. Whoever it is, they've done some job over the past 12 months. So much so that I have enough trust in their choices that I'm actually excited to see a player signed from Charlton of all teams.

TMB 14,167 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 If we went back in for Jake Cooper that would be a great signing in my opinion. Not a marquee name, but it doesn’t need to be. Just give us a CB of real quality and I’ll be happy. I don’t think we need to worry about brining in another striker unless Morelos leaves. Defoe, Morelos, with Stewart for backup is fine. I wouldn’t mind Taylor from Kilmarnock but I can understand if the manager doesn’t bring in another LB at this time. We have Halliday, Flanagan, and Barisic who can play that position. The squad is pretty bloated right now and I think moving a few on will be a priority. As the manager said, a CB and he would go with what we currently have.

djwyc14 116 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Move on 8-10 deadwood players, sign an experienced CB, new LB, striker and hang on to Tav and Mo. Getting Kent over the line would be the cherry on the cake. That's what I think we have left to do. Out - Lafferty, Alnwick, Holt, Dodoo, Rossiter, Dorrans, Middleton (loan), Docherty (loan) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldson and Katic are arguably the best pairing in the league, Edmundson is rated highly by Stevie apparently, and McCrorie can also play there well. glasgow argyle 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
