Betty Swallicks Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Topic on here since it is no longer a rumour. Presume he'll be better in midfield than Ball and AOC. Link to comment

S2RDS Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Aye welcome loon. Plenty experience and is a decent player from what i have heard. May it be one of many !! Link to comment
RAZOR Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 All I'm hearing is negativity about him. Will of course reserve judgment but early signs don't seem promising. Was this 'the big announcement' we were meant to be getting? 10 Link to comment

Was this 'the big announcement' we were meant to be getting?Not being pedantic but what are the early signs? Lots of games at a comparable level (some but not me would argue a higher level). Seems to be of a better stature than we are used to. 5 Link to comment

Was this 'the big announcement' we were meant to be getting?To be fair to him I think a lot of the negativity is because of the piss poor recruitment done last summer and at first glance, Gleeson looks to be more of the same. The club were derided for not looking further than the English leagues last season and appear to have learned fuck all from that so people are getting frustrated. 3 Link to comment

The club were derided for not looking further than the English leagues last season and appear to have learned fuck all from that so people are getting frustrated. Who did we sign on a permanent deal last season who was a full internationalist with vast Championship experience? Gleeson looks (on paper) far better than most of our latest permanent signings imo. 1 Link to comment
BWG Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Full international... 4 caps between 2007-2017. Settle down m9 4 Link to comment

No point in writing him off before he's even had a training session. 2 Link to comment
Tord31 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I think we can settle for on the fringes of the international team. Similar to Shinnie, McGeouch and Christie for Scotland. 3 Link to comment

Honestly pal can you just fuck off? Gleeson is 29 and fair chance could get more caps.Peter Weir got 6 caps, Neil Simpson 5 caps and they were both shite and nae full internationals eh.

BWG Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Aye a really relevant comparison there betty well done. The constant emoji really adds to your posts as well. Hope he does well for us. I also hope we sign a midfielder proven in this league because so far the recruitment has been underwhelming. 1 Link to comment

muttonhumper Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hopefully he turns out decent enough. Ipswich fan I know was asked: "Is he any good"? Reply: "Nope". For what that's worth. I'd say, players can be marvellous in some environments, and pish in others without any particular fathomable reason.Happens all the time.Fingers crossed he's a good fit for this team at this time.

We could be absolutely fine but going in with Shinnie, Forrester, Gleeson, Ferguson and Campbell for the three central midfield spots is a bit risky. I'd be surprised if DM was not looking at one more. Link to comment

He never got going at Ipswich so I would take that with a pinch of salt. Played 90 mins twice for them. Link to comment

But why did he only play 90 mins twice for them? Injury problems?Manager a gype?Bad luck?Or nae good enough? Link to comment
