With O’Connor away to QoS and Ojalaa shown to be injury prone, Lamie’s departure concerns me as he has turned from a bit of a bomb scare at the start of his ‘Well career into a pretty reliable centre half. However, if he was to be regarded as a back up and offered a wage level that reflected that, then I certainly can’t blame him for heading to Dundee where, I assume, he gets a better contract and playing time.
I hope Bevis does not also leave as that would see us too short on known quality CBs. I’m not convinced that Jake Carroll is a centre half, but then I’m just a supporter not the manager whose ability to identify players’ capability will be better than mine.
Let’s hope our new French and US players turn out to be hidden gems who have been wasted playing in some of the less well known football outposts. Let’s hope they are more Alex Gorrin than Esteban Casagolda.
