Get them all in the same category man! Or introduce a new one for the wide/attacking midfielders which, in essence, they all are…separating them from the central midfielders |
I use the category that RRFC announce the player within (and place them in on the players page)…I agree it’s a mess, but it removes “judgement” by using a clear standard. |

A sensible option for ‘Keeper might be the lad Dabrowski, recently released from Hibs. Played in the league previously and probably hungry for minutes

Been the topic of much desire and discussion on the other channel. Apparently back in Poland, but reported to have a Fife based interest…sure would be nice. |

He would most certainly encourage quite a few of Kirkcaldys Polish community along to Starks ................ make it happen |

| Interests in Fife and Polish community are low on my (and hopefully the club’s) list of priorities compared to goalkeeping abilities but I’ve been in contact with my Hibee pal there who says he is a good keeper and the majority of fans he knows are disappointed he wasn’t kept which is certainly a positive |

No goalkeeper or defenders signed but another striker, why? Don't get it

Maybe one or two departures coming?
We are certainly top heavy at the moment! Large squad fine if we can keep everyone happy…
I’m sure the defence and keeper are being worked on |

This was my thought too. Not many I’d readily part with but seem to be very top heavy right now. Just wonder where we fit all these in. A fully fit Jamie Gullan is as good as anyone we have signed, as is Vaughan and Connolly. Then you have Matthews, Stanton and Ross who are good players too.
Maybe there’s a couple that are free to see what’s out there.

Is Callum a striker or a wide player who is an auxiliary striker?
One quality he appears to have is speed and IM said he had identified a lack of same in the squad last season.
Also, we don't need to stick to one striker , we can be flexible and change to a two, as a variation of tactics. Also Mitchell is likely to go out on loan for at least the first half of the season.
As I said on the Callum Smith thread, more players are one of the consequences of the five subs rule.
Let's assume that IM, Potter and Barrowman have thought though, and talked through, their signings!
We may have missed out on a CB or two in the last few days or another signing may be imminent. |

Much of the above echoing my thoughts.
I reckon we will see some out one way or another.
This looks a lot like last season only with forwards instead of midfielders, still no experienced defenders and no sign of a keeper.
Not that I'm panicking yet, I have more confidence in the set up at SP now than I did last year at this time, although I'm fooly aware how that might come back to haunt me if we end up a week away from our 1st game and no further forward in certain departments.
As I say not worried........yet.

With their recent fitness issues, not being Murray signings and wages likely up the higher end….Gullan and Ross would be the two guys I’d expect most likely to depart (or even head out on loan), Ross especially as Murray seems to be a big fan of Gullans and we now have a load of players who can play Ross’ position…. Both are excellent players when fit and firing, getting them there and keeping them there is the problem…
Is McGlynn sticking around at Falkirk? Wouldn’t be a surprise if he is keeping an eye on things regarding these two |

| Plenty of time, a number of teams have just released their player lists so I’m sure they’re working it hard. |
