Rumours - summer signings

[Arabdownsouth]

100%, yes. We need a player like that, doesn't give the opposition a minute to settle and play. Predictably a few folk don't see his value but without a player like Willo we won't get close to putting a Championship winning side together.

You say he doesn't give the opposition a minute to settle, but instead he gives them yards of space time and again by lunging into Ill timed tackles. How many times were our midfield overrun last season and how often were we unable to hold on to the ball? He's one of the main reasons we couldn't link defence with attack ffs, seriously one of our better players? God help us then, and I've been trying to be one of the more optimistic ones too

He needs to learn to fecking sit and protect the defence and let the creative, more attacking players to their thing.

If he does he could be good........... But he goes trying to shut down every man and his beast all over the park getting pulled out the sitting role.

His legs looked gone by the end of last season and legs is his main attribute.

I understand our positions are polarised, but you are wrong.

Dont see what you think Willo did so well last season! There were times that he was the one playmaking, but for the other feckin team! Lost count of the number of wayward passes he made that landed at the feet of an opponent with space to put pressure on the defense!

[Chick A Saw]

2 or 3 new faces were to be in place, that was 100% said.

McKinnon and others made many statements last season that just didnt stand up to scrutiny! Only once did he admit to putting out the wrong team, but always asked us to "LISTEN!"

Flood would have been high up on my list of players I would have liked to see leave.

Started off promisingly (like a few others) but got steadily worse as the season went on to the point he was a liability in the side (partly Ray's fault as he was playing through an injury by the end).

I would at the least hope he has taken a substantial reduction in his terms, and he needs to rediscover his form of the past pretty quickly.

What are you on about? There's a week until pre season starts.

Agreed.....but think the ship has sailed on past form and we're unfortunately about to find out how far....
