'Get Zeefuik and Quinn in.

Bell will depart and i still have a feeling Fraser will go in this window (just a gut feeling).Hopefully Donaldson can find a new club.Waste of a career for the boy not played regulary since his Livi days.'

Toshney is a right back.
McMullen is LM but he and King RM have been switching sides occasionally.

I'm nae manager but i've always thought it's a crackin tactic to switch creative players positions during a game. If they have a fitba brain and can time it i can't see why we shouldn't do it more especially with this squad.
 

Correct. Keeps the opposition fullbacks thinking if the wingers keep swapping sides.
 

If losing Fraser means we get some cash to pay off Donaldson and perhaps bring Quinn in then I'd take that.

I like Fraser but Stanton is just as good a player.

I don't know anything about him.  He has never stood out if I've seen him play and I'm curious about the reasons behind so many people wanting to sign him.  Is it just cos he's better than Donaldson?

there doesn't seem to be a queue of other clubs wanting to snap him up before us

He is miles better than Donaldson and we are currently 1 injury away from him being in our starting 11. Quin is a major upgrade and I would 100% rather have Quinn than Donaldson.

I assumed he was better than Donaldson, but what I mean is why Quinn?  Why not someone else?

Is Quinn as good as or better than any of the players we have that can already play CB?  I honestly don't know.

I'm just asking because so any folk are wanting to sign him as if he is some sort of saviour and I'd like to know what they know about or see in him to make him someone we must sign?

Mr macho,

He's not the be all and end all, for sure but what you are getting with him is a big strong centre back who talks others through a game. Ex captain at a team who beat us 6 zip last season and played a league above us

He's big experienced and will lead others. What more can we expect?

Cheers Tangy.  I'm not doubting peoples thoughts on the guy, I was just wanting to know why they thought he was the answer.

Hysteria surrounding Quinn.
But never mentioned without including Donaldson.
If I see one more 'Donaldson gtf so we can get Quinn in' quote I'm gonna spit on my screen.
So I ask you this, what has Coll Donaldson actually done to warrant the hatred apart from the airshot v St Mirren. Is he going to be villified forever by the fans because of one mistake when he was caught out by a sloppy Dixon throw-in when he'd just come on. So do you remember when he last played? What did he do that made you hate him so much? Was he falling over, couldn't he run properly, was he unfit? I saw him play a couple of dev games in 2nd half of last season & he strolled them. It's mentioned that he 'fools about' during the warm-ups, doesn't look like he's taking it seriously', is that it? Give the guy a break, chances are he'll be here for the whole season so back him to back us, he must be shitting himself too anytime he plays, he'll be well aware of the fans' lack of confidence in him. There's every chance that come the end of the season he'll have played an important central defence back-up part in the team and all you distractors will be eating your words. Mark Durnan anyone?? Next dev game that you can get to try go along & watch him & pretend you're watching Quinn or something.

i admire your backing of Donaldson Smed. Its more than a fresh air swipe against st mirren, he was appalling in the semi against Hibs with a ridiculous handball penalty as well. To answer your points he does fall over over all the time, he is shocking in the air and ia very poor passer of the ball. Ask yourself this why will nobody take him on? I like you dont like to atack utd players but in this case im afraid he is shite.

If I say it again do you reckon he'll take a dump on it'

The squad is starting to look a hell of a lot more balanced than the last two seasons.

I would like to keep Bell just for his experience in between the sticks and the lessons hopefully learned from 15/16 when we went with two rookie keepers.

Give big CD his severence and move on which is what we should have done last season and try and get Paul Quinn on board.
