I don’t think these signings are MT signings. There will be others getting players in and he will coach them.

That`s how I assumed it would work, the AI would identify the talent, scout the opposition and formulate the tactics and he would just be head coach.

I have been told the names of two young centre backs from the premiership he is trying to tie up, if those names are anything to go by then they are his picks.

We’ve talked about this before da no 1.

I’m not a scout, I don’t have contacts and I don’t watch much football outside of the pars. I do however beleive a more experienced player who is not getting in the team in the premier league is a better more reliable shout to improve us than a youngster who hasn’t played a single match at this level. Common sense tells you that.

And yes Otoo and KRH were raw and way off it when they came in, same with Walcott too. We have 14 games left, we don’t really have the time for these guys to settle in the team.

Again I might be wrong and they are great but previous experience and the odds are against them making the difference.

You might be on to something there, Raymie. There were rumours circulating before Christmas that our new owners were going to appoint a Director of Football, who would be responsible for identifying and bringing in new players, allowing the manager to concentrate on coaching, as happens at many top European clubs. I even heard a name bandied about, but there`s been no official announcement by the club.

Still and all, I can`t see how Michael Tidser would have first-hand knowledge about some of the players that the media are suggesting the Pars are interested in bringing in.

Berkey I`m not going to contribute anything more to this thread than this. You are very good at telling us what you don`t want or what we don`t need.

When you are pinned down, your answers don`t have any real substance.

At least a previous poster came up with a couple of names, albeit a bit unrealistic.

Enjoy your day 👍

Piece on COWS suggests MT is heavily involved in the recruitment process and is making phone calls himself. He says it`s important new recruits can play in a way that suits his preference but stresses the need for experience as well as youth. No specific clues but he`s hoping to have at least one signed today.

KRHs first game was off the bench in a 2-2 draw vs Peterhead. We were 2-0 up going into injury time if I remember rightly.


Aye that’s what I’m thinking about!

He got dropped into central midfield and they basically out muscled him for every thing

Da no 1 what a load of nonsense.

There’s plenty of players in the premier league who are out of favour but they have at least played some first team games at that level or even the level down.

There has got to be more reliable better equipped players out there to help us now than young guys who haven’t kicked a ball anywhere near this standard.

out of favour does not mean they are available.
even if they are available, it does not mean they are within budget.
even if they are available and within budget, it does not mean they are interested.
even if they are available, within budget and interested, the likelihood is other teams will be interested who possibly are better options for the player.....

Scottish. Bigger clubs, quite a few minutes under their belt already this season. I`d maybe expect one, if not both

We certainly needed attacking/creative options through the door, hopefully Stevens and Yeboah can add a bit of energy to our attack

Vg signing, someone who can unlock defences and find a pass. seems to be highly rated at Rangers. Someone tidser will have had eyes on from his time at Kelty.

Wouldn`t be surprised if him or O`Halloran started tomorrow ahead of KRH.

Would agree. I thought KRH decision making was really poor against Airdrie

We don`t need any more people making sensible posts on here, thank you. The forum will be quite boring if there are no controversial posts to get upset over.... 🙄
