Sheikh Salim 215 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 How the hell do you know what I've seen of McKay?On top of that there is plenty of Oz based Gers fans on here that are surprised by McKays omissionDon't feed the troll....

Ally has done not bad at all shopping in the bargain basement IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainAmerica18 846 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Wallace, Boca and Goian - GreatIf Aluko keeps up his performances then he'll join those the 3.Bartley's been injured wquite a bit but I thought he did well against Celtic and was good at right back yesterday. Provided Ally plays him in defence, he will do well. He's not a CM.The rest you can say are poor signing because they have made no impact on the team. People will complain that McKay etc haven't been given time to impress, but you need to do it in training aswell, which they obviously haven't.

ORCHARD LOYAL 119 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Every manager is allowed a mistake in the transfer window but I think three out of seven in one transfer window is a pretty big percentageFair enough point but in the same token, its hard to get them all right when your scraping the bottom of the barrell for decent talent. McKay, Bedoya & Ortiz have a fairly decent standing with regards the league they come from and their in the case of Bedoya and Mckay; their international set up. I think the 3 of these were a calulated risk by McCoist. who else would we get for the kinf of money we shelled out for these 3.Perhaps the best option was to go for another 1 million player as apposed to 3 cheap one. Walter used that policy with Jela and it paid dividends ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garycassidy1802 37 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Looking at the rate of inflation, and the prices Ally has picked up these players for, he deserves ridiculous credit.Goian, Wallace, Aluko, Bartley, Bocanegra are five amazing signings. That's not counting players who have re-signed with us and been tied up for a few years.Even Ortiz, Bedoya and McKay who haven't made an impression really, the money spent hasn't been over the top like has happened in the past, and these are players who, given a chance, could still come good.If we look at the players who we've lost, Ally has done an amazing job to replace them.

JograBear 1,074 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I think Ally has done well in the transfer market. However what he hasnt done so well is giving much of those signing a chance to prove they can play as well as the scouts and he obviously thought before they bought them.

Gregor Stevens Fan Club 42 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 As new signings..... Where in the thread title or opening post does it say "new" signings ??Ally has decided to extend/offer new contracts to Whittaker, Kerkar, McGregor, Healy, etc. - should their contributions not be considered at the half-way stage ??Many people have suggested that these new contracts are included within Whyte's £5M investment per year, therefore they would form part of Ally's player budget and he should be judged on that.

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 bedoya mcckay ortiz never get a game so not exactly been great signings fae mccoistThey do get games - I'm of the opinion they don't get more because they perform with regular mediocrity.Compare them to Goian, Wallace and Boca - they hit the ground running and play with regular high standards.Perhaps Bedoya, Ortiz and McKay didn't understand what was needed or simply cannot cope with the level of expectation. Either way - they have delivered next to nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Matt Mckay - No idea what is going on with this one, but my god he has some amount of hype on this site. Expect Messi type runs when he gets a chance! 1/10Everyone is going to hugely disappointed with him - he's been ok and nothing more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andymcg1986 259 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 You can see he is carrying on from sit Walter by picking a strong defensive unit just wish we could get a decent defensive midfielder in ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychobudgie 55 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Can I just make the point to people saying Bedoya and even Ortiz and McKay are poop or poor or struggling. It took Naisy 3 seasons to become the player he currently is. When he first joined he didn't look anyway close to the player he now is (and by that I don't mean injured). Same goes for Lafferty and Papac.It's a big leap joining a club our size and some players do take a bit of time to adjust. They may well turn out to be turkeys but a few months is not long enough to make that decision. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you actually believe he would spend that.....Existing players that have a sell on value should have there contracts extended or they need to be sold...didn't look like ally had a choice but to keep them. Only one that he shouldn't have kept was kerkar Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
