SeeBass Posted June 15, 2021 Report Posted June 15, 2021 For some strange reason his name reminds me of the dart player Terry Jenkins. Can we nickname him 'Bully Bully' too?!?! Quote

wokinginashearerwonderland Posted June 16, 2021 Report Posted June 16, 2021 What is the basis for Ethan Ross being worth anywhere near £200,000 compensation? Not complaining like, just wondering . He's barely started a game for us. It can't have cost that much to develop each player in our youth team. Considering what we paid for Ferguson from Hamilton, who was recognised as being a really good prospect, it doesn't make much sense. Ross is nearly 20 and hasn't got anywhere near the first team really. Quote

Ross is nearly 20 and hasn't got anywhere near the first team really. It’s a set formula based on players length of time at the club, international caps and first team games from memory. Did have a link to explanation of how it’s calculated but cannot find it at the moment. Suspect £200k is about right given Ethan’s age and length of time at the club. Quote

RicoS321 Posted June 21, 2021 Report Posted June 21, 2021 McRorie likely right back next season anyway, maybe this guy will be the pressure he needs to get his finger oot. I don't think Ramsay is ready and could do with a 6 month loan at a championship club. Quote

KennyFuckinPowers Posted June 21, 2021 Report Posted June 21, 2021 Not much to go on, granted, but his use of the ball seems intelligent. Sturdy wee guy, reckon he'll be fine. It's only a year, McCrorie more than likely the preference at RB/RWB ( Squad number 2 ) so will see how it develops. Quote

He’s 25 & played less than 20 games at a level that’s at Scottish Championship level. What would we be saying if we’d signed Ayr’s 25 year old full back who’d only played 18 games? This just re-affirms my doubts about Glass (& Cormack for that matter!) Where are the “exciting signings” we’ve been promised? We won’t qualify for Europe is my prediction. Quote
sancho_panza Posted June 22, 2021 Report Posted June 22, 2021 It's hard to see how he could be good. Ordinarily you could argue he might be some hidden gem that Glass knows about from his previous job, but his previous team thought he was shite as well and cut him out their squad in favour of a right back who couldn't get in our team last season. There are a long list of decisions now that make very little sense from a footballing perspective and all involve Atlanta in some capacity, including the decision to hire Glass in the first place. I've yet to really see a benefit to it unless there's money getting funnelled into the club behind the scenes. I have a feeling it's all going to blow up at some point and we'll get our own expose in the Athletic about how Arthur Blank has been using the changing rooms to hide stolen Rembrandt paintings or something. 1 Quote

The only negative noise I hear is from our own fans not giving glass and the new signings the benefit of the doubt. It’s our own doing. Quote

I was extremely against Glass getting the job, but he's here, he's saying all the right things and I have definitely seen a difference in how we approach games and actually played in those games, the more time he's had to work with them, Russell too, Apaloo and Brown coming in, then it can only get better. Hopefully with another 2 additions ( Ramirez & another Striker ) then we'll at the very least, improve on what McInnes did, in what will be a far more difficult League. I'm expecting big things for us, seriously, and to think only 3 months ago I was apoplectic with the fact Glass got the job. Quote
Elgindon Posted June 22, 2021 Report Posted June 22, 2021 Agree with the last 2 posts.Some of the comments,mostly elsewhere, have been cringeworthily premature.Ok,a couple of the signings havent set the heather on fire,but Glass sees something in them,or something that he can work with.Lets at least wait and see if he can justify their signings after a reasonable amount of games. Definitley looking more to the new season than i would have been,if only out of curiosity. Quote
SeeBass Posted June 22, 2021 Report Posted June 22, 2021 I love how A LOT of the the press mention Brown, Gallagher, Emmanuel-Thomas, Jenks and now Gurr as new signings but forget we tied up Gary Woods for a couple of years!! Quote
BigAl Posted June 23, 2021 Report Posted June 23, 2021 Some news to cheer a few folk on here up this grim morning........ Clark Robertson has signed for Portsmouth Quote
