Courier officially reporting we want Dylan Tait.

Here we go again, being linked with more midfielders when its clear the problem areas are strikers, wingers, central defenders and RB.  Maybe even a LB, if Ferry leaves.

We've got Sevelj, Camara, Agyei, Farruggia and Eskesen who can all play central roles.

Besides, I thought it was the specky Tod that we were after from Dunfermline.

Heard the Tait deal is more or less done.

That’s why we want him. And it’s exactly the type of midfielder we’ve lacked this season, we don’t have a progressive passer in the midfield. Sapsford in particular I think will thrive with someone like Tait feeding him balls into the half spaces for him to run onto. Rose I think is a similar sort of striker.

A midfield 3 of Sevelj sitting taking balls of the defence and playing simple passes, Agyei breaking up play and Tait getting it forward is very well balanced, and might encourage Goodwin to go to a 4-3-3.

Hopefully, he turns out better than the last couple of times i watched him and they were just off nights.

I think i am still a bit scarred from signing Mark Kerr from Falkirk.

Falkirk just confirmed he’s no staying there, imagine he’ll confirm his new club pretty soon

Very soon.

I do wonder if these signings are a signal that Goodwin’s changing his approach going into next season. All 4 of our outfield signings so far are under 6 foot tall. Maybe he’s finally seen the error of his hammer-throwing ways.

Happy enough with this. Good start to the window.

Won't take Goodwin long to coach the ability out of him

This.
 

From what I gather, Tait's not an Eskesen or a Babunski. He's more a Docherty: a combative defensive midfielder who likes to get the ball forward. He's the sort to do well under Goodwin, I think, and should fit in nicely in a system with wingers who can threaten on the break. I'm optimistic, anyway.

Hope the next few signings include a couple of similarly reassuring centre halfs, Luca Stephenson, and Amar Fatah.

Last season I was of the opinion that all the foreign imports wouldn't be a problem, boy was I wrong. Tait is a good start to getting it right this time hopefully

From what I've seen of Tait at Raith and Falkirk he's a combative and talented attacking midfield player, more like a Docherty as said by Monny above, maybe even more forward playing than Docherty and definitely fitter.
If deployed correctly by JG we have signed a very good player.
Just please don't play him in a 2. That just won't work.

....waits....

 
He'll be Goodwins new LWB 🤣
