| 302. Author: AlterPar Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 17:51 Basically a worse version of Kane. I’m not one to come on here and be really negative but this one is really disappointing. Feels like we have missed out on a host of other targets and this is what’s left. Reply |
| 303. Author: Dandy Warhol Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 18:00 AlterPar, Wed 27 Aug 17:51 I heard directly from an agent we have perhaps been aiming a bit high, on the one hand, can`t knock being ambitious, on the other hand frustrating not getting one over the line. Rudden signing would be ok i guess. I don`t wanna go down like disco. Reply |
| 304. Author: parsmad68 Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 18:03 Ross Jack / John Watson were hardly prolific before they arrived. The rest is history. Reply |
| 305. Author: dafc111 Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 18:34 Not sure why Livi would sign Rudden this summer to then let him leave on loan? Hope we aren`t after him, he`s a donkey and worse than McCann who was deemed not good enough. Reply |
| 306. Author: rikaka Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 18:40 Fits the experienced pro mould. Better than what we have out with Kane. Yes it`s not exciting but it`s what we need Reply |
| 307. Author: Ahoy!Ahoy! Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 18:40 Tete Yengi hasn’t played much at all this season either and may be more likely. Big lump of a lad who can be a handful for defenders. Reply |
| 308. Author: DJAS Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 18:43 Ahoy!Ahoy!, Wed 27 Aug 18:40 That doesn’t fit with what Pompey posted though. Predictor league winner 2012/2013 Reply |
| 309. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 18:45 Yengi just extended his contract with Livi I think so I`d be surprised if he was leaving, even on a loan. Maybe that`s why Rudden has itchy feet... Reply |
| 310. Author: rsmith Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 19:30 Rudden is better than what we have as a secondary striker. 9 goals last year in a struggling Queens side isn’t too bad, was enough to land him a prem move, albeit not for long. Might be able to bring Young into play with his hold up when Kane isn’t available. Reply |
| 311. Author: obiwanyouknowme Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 19:51 Pars want Rudden Dunfermline Athletic have made a move to land Zak Rudden. Neil Lennon wants to sign the Livingston striker. The 25-year-old only moved to Livi in the summer but the Pars are pushing to make the deal happen. Rudden hasn’t been a regular starter for the Lions and Lennon is prepared to offer him regular first-team action. It would mean dropping down to the Championship but he has plenty of experience at that level via his spells with Partick Thistle and Queen’s Park. The former Rangers and Dundee forward has also had a previous loan spell in Fife with rivals Raith Rovers. Lennon has been keen to add to his front-line options and Dunfermline fell short in a bid for St Johnstone’s Makenzie Kirk. Reply |
| 312. Author: king lad Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 19:55 I`m absolutely fine with Rudden, he works his socks off and will do fine as another option up front. Not an improvement on Kane, but has plenty of experience at this level and is better than our other options. Reply |
| 313. Author: Athletico Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 20:11 With less than a week til the window closes and If Rudden is the best we can get after months of searching, then that`s nothing short of a failure. Same with Munn on loan from Rangers. Reply |
| 314. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 20:28 James McPake was interested in signing him previously. He was highly rated G Wardrope Reply |
| 315. Author: Never10yairds Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 20:38 I’m happy with this. We’ve lacked a striker who is dominant in the air for a couple of seasons. Gives us a long ball option that has been badly lacking. Reply |

Decent goal scoring record though. I`ll reserve judgement on this if he signed and when he plays. Post Edited (Wed 27 Aug 20:55) Reply |
| 317. Author: RossDAFC88 Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 20:58 I don’t want to sound overly negative, but am I happy about this? No. It feels like a panic loan because we couldn’t secure a striker, and this seems to be the best option available. Sadly, as Raith have pointed out, we’re still regarded as a bottom-half Championship side. Putting the disappointment and my personal dislike of him as a player to one side, there are positives: he’s got over 100 Championship appearances, so he knows the league, and he scored nine goals for Queen’s Park last season. Plus, having two bald strikers up front will at least provide some amusement. I’m not optimistic, but I’ll judge him on what he delivers for us. Do I think he’ll be a success? Honestly, no and, frustratingly, I’m usually right about these things. Reply |

| 319. Author: Westies squint kicks Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 21:04 He was very isolated when we played QP last season, did well in the circumstances. I recall him turning Fogarty inside out before McPake took him off at HT. Not quite the glamour signing but a genuine centre forward who’ll play the role properly. Reply |
| 320. Author: Ahoy!Ahoy! Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 21:05 Initially the name didn’t fill me with confidence but thinking about it, he knows the league, he is a striker and knows where the goal is. He has the instinct and possibly may work alongside Kane or Young. If he is announced let’s see what he can do. Reply |
