Very good but you still haven’t answered the question son

What makes you excited ?
Have you seen him play ?

Click to expand...

Highly rated by people who have seen him play. 18 year old left back, 20 appearances in the Scottish Premiership.

For the record, i hadn't seen Danny Fox play before we signed him and can confirm i was excited for that signing also.

Thanks for the concern though chief.

@Cobi Jones's Dreads

There fans ain’t too fussed they watch him weekly so you’ve basically got a hard on over a lad you’ve never seen play son
He’s got potential all kids at that age have some sort of potential but let’s see.

The General Ross County Chat Thread

Since we appear to be clogging up other threads with our stuff I thought that it might be a semi-decent idea to have all Ross County chat in here? Not just transfers but just general discussion and the like. I see that Raith Rovers, Falkirk and QotS have similar threads in the go.

Whats happened to that ginger left back?

Newton is it?

Thought he was the next big thing but heard shit all for a while.
Same with that Aaron Evans - Harriott, midfielder.

Load of prem clubs were looking at him. Hope he isnt more Ainsley Harriott

We signed Gary Gillespie as an 18 year old (Falkirk? Dunfermline?) and I'm pretty sure he captained them at 17 years of age!

Newton has been pretty much ever present in the U23.

Evans-Harriott is technically a second year academy player with a guaranteed pro deal. Playing for the U18 and a bit for the U23. Same with Jay McGrath and Aidan Finnegan.

FFS.

The whole point of our excellent scouting team is precisely this!!
No other fucker had heard of them-hence why we can steal in a buy a player who seems to fit our ‘potential’ & ‘young but talented’ tick boxes.
Jeezus-nobody had heard of Hamer (unless you in some of the more obscure Stat scouting circles)-I Mean FIFA 20 had him down as a right back!! but we took a punt and the gamble is paying off.
All our signings are gambles but to write off a player just because you (or whoever) haven’t heard of them is fucking stupidity.
At 18 this kid is a starter in a position that we’ll be without any cover next year!
And Of course he’ll be loaned back because there’s 2 players in front of him at the moment and he needs game time.

Looking at his stats , his age, his speed and attacking threat (and he’s playing for a lower ability Scottish Prem team) he looks just the sort of player we should be going for.

You only have to look at the last youngster we bought from Scotland, who in the summer was linked to a move to Leeds Utd, after only 1 year at the club to see how good the City scouting team are-nobody had heard of him either!!

Yes but there are people in here who still don't see how good McCallum is. I trust the scouting system that found dabo, Rose and Hamer more than guys on a fansite.

What do you mean? He was clearly one of the best young players in europe, just after Mbappe and Haaland. I'm so pleased we managed to fight off Man United and Liverpool for him.

Pretty sure he's out of contract and it's pretty clear Robins doesn't really have in his plans.

I am wondering with signing this player where is the money coming from considering we got the rookie from Brighton and letting baka go and no one else coming in, if body has said to Robins his job is safe irrespective of staying up or we go down. If that's the case I would fully expect us to come straight back even losing hamer and dabo if we sold them on as even now I trust Robins long term vision for our club.

Question

If he does signs does that mean we send Giles back as we now have cover there for McCallum ?
