Same source indicating Airdrie have made their move for Wotherspoon and Jackie McNamara is involved, must be his firm that represents him.

that tweet been deleted after a scout for the agency replied "absolute nonsense part 2"....he also put the same reply to the latest tweet about Dunfermline and Wotherspoon "still in contact"....
It’s not clear what part of the tweet is nonsense though. You’ve just ignored the majority of the tweet. The ‘source’ said that Wotherspoon was still in talks. Then went onto say that the agent is looking at a potential move elsewhere, which has added to the wait. That could just as easily be the part that is “absolute nonsense”, no?

I think its pretty straight fwd. He has been made an offer but he still feels he is capable of playing at a higher level. He will wait to see if anything else is offered. He has a bit time on his hands.
I think the gaffer will have alternatives in mind, knowing that he might not sign. He is willing to wait to get his first choice but I think he will have to give an ultimatum soon.

If he wanted to sign for us he would have done so by now, move on to other targets now COYP
If the manager judges him as the player he wants, why would we pull the offer for the sake of a couple of weeks? Would be crazy to just pull the offer with no alternative, it`s a long season!
The delay works both ways. He could get something better, but so could we so there`s risks on both sides. Until he signs, or we find someone better, there`s no point pulling out for impatience!

Absolutely correct.
Any football club can decide without giving much notice that it doesn`t want to offer a new contract to a player who has perhaps given several years of honest service to that club and contributed to the club`s success. The player then has to scramble around in a highly competitive market for a new job, possibly involving a move of house and school for his kids.
All players know this, so why on earth should anyone be surprised or angry about their using whatever leverage they have to secure the best possible deal? Their careers are a lot shorter than their retirement.

Getting back to potential signings who may actually want to come....
How about a very early punt on Tiwi Daramola from Kelty? I say `early` as he`s only just joined them from Bo`ness having scored an incredible 59 goals last season.
So far with Kelty, in their 4 league cup and 1 league game, he`s scored 4 goals and I think has a couple of assists. The guy is getting rave reviews and from the highlights I`ve seen looks strong, quick but also has good control with it.
I know he was discussed on here when Kelty signed him in January (before loaning him back for the 2nd half if the season) and there were concerns about the jump from such a low level but he`s showing up very well so far.
Before he was with bo`ness he came through Stenhousemuir youth. I didn`t realise this but Google says he played once for Scotland u18s so he`s not quite appearing from nowhere. He must have been highly thought of at one stage.
No idea why he left Stenhousemuir, but wonder if he`s gone away and built himself up as he now looks hard to stop physically.

Germans are miles off this, don’t think they and Cook have any idea what’s going on and how to get decent players on. Byrne at Raith, Wotherspoon not in, young lads again, clubs a mess regarding transfers by the looks of it.

What would you constitute proper investment?
Signing players on wages that maybe break our intended budget ?
Increase our intended budget on the gamble of making more prize money ?
If you do intend engaging with me on these points I have raised , please do so with the courtesy of debating all 3 points rather than the one you may think is most pertinent to your agenda as that is the only correct way to ensure that a proper debate on this subject can be continued........

Yes we skooshed the league with games to spare. So we were in a great position knowing what league we’d be in. Record season tickets, Nisbet sale etc. So why aren’t we seeing a team ready to start the league? Instead we’re bleeding 17 year olds into midfield.

We have a clear strategy that has suffered two setbacks. Three injuries to key players and losing out on transfer targets. There`s no hidden agenda.

Does anyone know the details of the Nisbett transfer payment terms. It could be highly likely that there is a payment term schedule on what Hibs owe to Dunfermline. In business, those terms can be anything up to 6 months. Just a possibility, as I am not sure of the payment term details either or what constraints are placed upon paying clubs by the SFA or the FA.

We’re Dunfermline, a team playing in the second tier of Scottish football.
We either sign young players who may be a bit raw but may develop; or
Players in their prime, although while these players may have more experience than the youngsters if they were top quality they wouldn’t be going to a second tier Scottish club; or
Experienced players approaching the end of their careers who may have played at a higher level but are no longer as good as they were in their prime.
Our club have preferred to concentrate on the first category, and i for one am 100% behind this. We haven’t just managed to get Etoo and KRH, we also managed to get the likes of Edwards and Comrie on extended deals.
Yes, we need a few more additions to the squad, the injuries to KRH, Todd and also O’Halloran bringing that more into focus.
Wotherspoon was a disappointment, by all accounts we were close to signing him but there is no way we can compete with a premier league team.
Most importantly, we haven’t signed any bad players.
We’ve won our first league game, and still have plenty of time to add to the squad.
And anyone who thought we were going to be relegated last year based on our transfers really should be questioning their own judgement rather than regurgitating the same old bollocks this season.

Can someone explain to me how a player like Ben summers with 2 appearances at any sort of level has been identified as having the required ‘quality’ for us trying to even consider trying to sign someone?
I’d imagine it’s the same way we identified Otoo and Ritchie-Hosler. We pay people called scouts to do research on potential signings, it’s pretty normal for football clubs to do that. Gives them a bit more knowledge on players, than you would get from reading opinions on forums or looking at social media.

And any young player who makes it to the first team for Rangers or Celtic obviously has quality.
Ben Summers would be a great loan signing. Etoo never managed a first team appearance and his loan and subsequent signing has been a great bit of business for the club.

Must have forgotten how shroud signing KRH, Fisher and Otoo was.
What other clubs were they linked with….none, the fascination with b players with no experience is crazy. Any half decent player seems to be signing for other clubs. We can’t get anybody in that’s linked elsewhere
Pretty sure Fisher revealed he turned down a new contract at Dundee and turned down another championship club to come here. Of course, he must have been lying, because every player on the planet would rather sign anywhere else than here. I also heard at the time that Otoo also turned down a move to another championship club. But that must be lies as well.

That is where McPake and McKay deserve credit. They have created an amazing changing room atmosphere and the club is full of hungry players who will run through brick walls for their teammates and manager. Players who have came to us on loan have enjoyed their time that much they`ve wanted to stay on permanent deals.
For some reason however we are struggling to bring in players who were not involved last season. Hopefully this will change in the upcoming weeks.
And perhaps therein lies the problem. The biggest improvement I`ve seen is that we play as a team. Perhaps that`s intimidating or off-putting for players who are just there for the wage?

These players have options or are holding out for more suitable deals. We have refrained from signing players who we don`t think will make us much better.

Byrne and Murray would certainly do a job. There is no indication that we were in for either Murray or Byrne. After the end of his last spell here, and the fact that another CB isn’t a priority then not overly fussed we never went for Murray.
Would have had Byrne back personally.
Wotherspoon would have liked and we were apparently close but no chance we could compete once a premier league club decided to offer him a deal.
Taking away Dundee Utd, I’m not looking at the signings made by other championship clubs and thinking there are loads of players we have missed out on?
We do need more players undoubtedly, but not having them in yet is not the disaster some are making out. Let’s see what happens in the next few weeks.

Parrot, My post was never a question, just an expression on how I feel things are going so far. I have a lot of faith in the management team but I can`t deny I expected someone in last week and still expect it this week.
To address your point, I would argue some of the signings championship teams (excluding Dundee Utd, as they would blow us out the water wage wise) have made this season would be classed as higher calibre or provide competition to the current team.
Yes, I didn`t mean to suggest so. The question is asked repeatedly by others though.

McPake and Mackay certainly do deserve credit, but they have also enjoyed a bit of good fortune because the players who were at EEP before they arrived (and those they brought in), are all good lads - good pros, willing to work hard and to learn. Now you could argue that they did their homework on the players they brought in and made sure they were good characters, as well as good players, but they had no say in those who were already at the club.
I`ve been privileged to work with many Pars players since 2014 and can state beyond any shadow of a doubt that last season`s squad is the most friendly and approachable of all. That the Pars Tackle Health school visits were so successful, was almost entirely down to these players and the wonderful way they interacted with local school children.

I think the problem the club will have now with the fans is a higher judgement threshold than perhaps earlier in whoever is now brought in.
Been openly aired that it’s about getting the right personality through the door that will add quality to our team and not just make the numbers up and warm the bench.
If for example, the next signing after all this time is that Summers boy from Celtic B, whilst I’m sure he’ll be a talented boy, don’t think that’s going to appease many on here.

On the flip side, not many clubs in the championship have more than 3,000 season ticket holders. We also should have received money from the Nisbet transfer. If we are really that skint, we wouldn`t have offered a contract to the likes of Wotherspoon.

Should the club be merely aiming to appease supporters or planning steady progress? I`m not suggesting the two are mutually exclusive, but the former strategy is normally a short term solution.

No one is saying we are skint, it has been mentioned before the short term strategy is survival in the championship.
And the long term strategy is sustainability.

Good use of the transfer income to get them back.
The tannoy is important. It may have been if the guy was up at the tannoy system McPake asked for his baws back? Who knows? Just an idea!

If we continue to project the club ethos, direction and benefits the right players will come. Its not all about salary and benefits. There must be an abundance of players out there who are firstly good enough for us, keen for first team football, gain experience, improve their game and work in the interests of the team and the club. With tge club set up the right way we should be able to attract these players

Byrne is quality, a proven winner at this level and would be a good signing for any championship team. Promoted from league one with us, consecutive promotions with Livi and from the championship twice with Dundee.
Could be a really good signing for Rovers.
Some seem to be overreacting to him signing elsewhere though. I would say that we have more pressing areas to fill. Allan/Hamilton/Chalmers/Otoo all play CM so as with Saturday there was one on the bench. Up front is a far bigger risk in terms of cover IMO and Byrne/Wotherspoon/Summers even don`t address that.

I just love how some are losing their minds at other players choosing other clubs, when it’s never been confirmed we were even in for them. Can’t always believe the rumours on twitter (X) and call it gospel.
As much as it pains some on here, the rovers may well be a more attractive prospect for a certain player.
They’re a stable championship side, with new investment who are looking at promotion via play-offs. On paper, with bookmakers and also a lot of predictions I’ve seen from Scottish fans, including some pars fans! Have Rovers predicted to finish above us.
We are the newly promoted team, most likely looking to consolidate our place this season back in the championship.
We are not pushing for promotion at this stage, is it any wonder why some players may think the wee team or any other team is better for them?
Take your pars tinted specks off and try looking at the bigger picture.
McPake is looking to add to the squad with the aim of longer term sustainability and success. You’d find it very difficult to accumulate a squad that can achieve both in the short term in the 2nd tier of Scottish football, so I’m quite happy to stay on the course we are on and not worry about other players and clubs.
We have an excellent relationship and atmosphere around the squad atm, probably the best I’ve ever seen at EEP. The fight and belief in these boys is exciting to watch. I’d rather the management team brought in the right players to add to this. Which is what they’ve said they will do. They’ve signed 3 excellent young talents so far.
Pars will now likely put in a battling and courageous effort against Utd on Saturday. There’s a very good chance we will lose the game to the league favourites, yet it will be a meltdown on here no doubt that we can’t compete etc etc.

I think some of the players might have made it easier to have a comfortable season in the championship.
As it stands our squad strength is not good enough an injury to one or two player and its not a great position to be in

Manager James McPake said: “Ben is a very good young player. He’s one whose name did come up last year, but he was kept back to train with Celtic and he spent the full season training with the first-team.
“He made a couple of appearances off the bench and was on the bench in other games.
“Just to train every day with Celtic in that environment is great. That doesn’t guarantee you anything when you go to first-team level, whether that’s with Celtic or us.
“But I saw an interview with Ange Postecoglou when he said that nobody gets a debut or anything under him unless it’s earned.
“He’s got ambitions to go on and play for Celtic and Celtic have got high hopes for him to be a Celtic player.
“So, this is the first step in his career away from Celtic now to prove that he’s good enough to play first-team football and then kick on from there.
“I’m just glad we could get him out because he’s an exciting one for the football club.”

It`s not just balancing the books, it`s getting the right attitude in. In the past we`ve had some really good players who had a negative impact on the team. I`m sure that those of us in normal day jobs have experienced the same. It only takes one bad apple to ruin the batch. I`ve certainly been glad to see the back of some colleagues in the past!

I`d think so.
Could do with another out and out striker I reckon and maybe someone who could play Central Midfield as we`re still a wee bit light and inexperienced there. Someone who could play left wing/left forward/left wingback might be useful too?
Wouldn`t say we need another central midfielder, we have Chalmers, Hamilton, Otoo, Todd (once fit),Allan and Summers who can all play there. Another striker and winger would be good.

I think we need another defender/midfielder depending on where McPake wants to use Otoo, hopefully Wotherspoon ends up coming in, then another striker. That would most likely complete the squad?
Summers looks promising technically but I think he plays as a more advanced midfielder in a Todd type role rather than the deeper passing role Chalmers occupies.

But we also know McPake will change it up/use different personnel based on who we are playing and what system/players he thinks are best for each opponent. We’re also likely to add 2-4 new players though and it’s probably unlikely we have many weeks where everyone is fully fit/available.

This is what has impressed me about the management team the most. The team is almost consistent but the formation does have slight variations, the more the squad get used to it, the more fluid it will become during a game.

Add in right back cover and a spare CB (4 CBs in the club when playing a back 3 and 1 of those is arguably better as a midfielder, isn`t enough cover)

Mehmet
Fisher Bene Breen
KRH Chalmers Otoo Edwards
McCann Wighton Todd
That team with a bench of
Little/Sharp
Comrie
Hamilton
O Halleron
Allan
Tod
Summers
Tell you what, just needs a 6ft 5 lump of a striker to be able to throw on and that’s a team that will take some beating.
Gave me the ick not starting Comrie or Hamilton, but needs must!

If Sharp keeps doing well, as he has done since he came in, I dont see Deniz walking straight back into the team, as soon as he`s fit. He might have to bide his time until an opportunity arises.

Sharp is only here until January so unless there is scope for extending that I think Mehmet will come back in once he is fit.

So your all dropping Comrie?
Mr consistent, goes about his business quietly!
If we play a flat back 4, he’s first choice at RB. There’s no doubt about that. But in the 3-4-3, I think he’s 2nd choice RWB and 2nd choice RCB. He will play more often than not and has been incredibly solid for us for the last 4 years. There will also be games that McPake thinks he’s better suited to play at RWB or RCB ahead of KRH/Fisher. But that’s the beauty of having a decent squad, rather than just a decent starting 11.
Do you think he’s ahead of either KRH or Fisher if the manager is picking his strongest 11?

You’re right par91.
Comrie is consistently a 7 - but to win championship matches over the course of a season and to play our full on best 11 when all available, he becomes the one who just misses out.
Of course we will rarely ever have a week where everyone is free so it’s a moot point and he will play much more often than not.

We can all have opinions about the best starting 11 but it’s not necessarily the best for all games. It’s about 16 on the day.
KRH for me is not a 90 minute player. Start and play 60 or come off bench for 30. Comrie can play 90 consistently week in week out. Two very different players of course.

The signs are good. We are shaping into a good squad that can do well in this league. A few players to come back from injury in a few weeks will be crucial. Its the winter period and 2nd half of the season that will matter with respect to a full squad in my view.
I agree a smaller squad is best so that you can involve everyone and give younger players the opportunity. There is a risk around that but thats life.
I think that the supporters getting behind the team will make a big difference especially to the younger players.
I think as supporters each section of the crowd should adopt s young player snd cheer him on during the game.

Oh dear, don`t let the facts get in the way of a good story, eh?
Joel Mumbongo began his career in his native country of Sweden at BK Hacken before scoring seven goals in 15 games for Utsiktens BK and moving to Hellas Verona in Italy while appearing internationally for Sweden U19s.
In 2019, then Premier League side Burnley invited Joel for a trial in which he impressed and earned a contract with The Clarets. The forward earned himself Premier League 2 Player of the Month after several quality performances and goals before being called to the first team.
The 24-year-old appeared four times in the Premier League and three times in the FA Cup that season. Accrington Stanley swooped to sign Joel on loan, where he scored twice in ten games in League One.
On 28 July 2022, Mumbongo joined League Two club Tranmere Rovers on a one-year contract. On 9 May 2023, the club announced he would be released.

I am pretty excited by the prospect of McCann and O`Halloran having a go at opposition defences. They both seem to have similar qualities and are very muscular and physical players capable of taunting defenders.
If MacPake brings in a tall, strong striker, we have added a dimension to our game that has been missing for some time - physicality in attack.

I see that Logan Chalmers, who we were interested in at one time, has gone on loan to Ayr.

Ayr have signed a few forwards in this window, let`s hope they`re not that good.

You only need to look at the playing squad to see that they clearly haven`t backed the manager as there are plenty of areas that need addressing but I will start by naming the attacking areas when there is a glaring need to sign a winger and a top quality striker

Putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 there.
The management themselves have said they prefer a smaller squad and waiting for the right signings. They have money, but prefer to find the right players rather than rush in early.
Is it the right strategy? Time will tell, but there`s still not evidence of the manager "not being backed".

Investment is going to be long term. We have young players in the team who will improve. Young players make mistakes. It won`t be the last time this season. It`s important we bounce back. Raith were the better team the first half. They scored and held out to half time and sat back with 5 across the back the second half. Ohalloran was poor today. Looks like he needs game time. I like the look of summers. I think we have good enough forward players at the club it`s just the lack of movement and direct play for me.

I`m perfectly sober and wasn`t looking for an argument, just asking for clarification. Alex Jakubiak was sitting at the rear of the directors box. The directors were sitting at the front. Obviously, if he celebrated the Rovers goal, he`s unlikely to be signing for the Pars.
He was sitting next to another striker, who might sign for the Pars. Perhaps Kdy Par can enlighten us as to whether he, too, was jumping around when the Rovers scored?

Jakubiak was 100% high fiving and hugging the Rovers directors after the final whistle. He was sat in the back row of the “away” directors box in the 2nd half.

It`s only the first 2 rows on the left-hand side of the directors box that are actually allocated to away directors and their guests normally. Jakubiak was sitting in the very back row with 2 life-long Pars fans and Joel Mumbungo. Please tell me he and Jakubiak were not dancing together, as we`re also supposed to "be interested " in him. 😫

The money has been spent on operating costs. (A season in league 1 comes at a cost). Transfer fees for otoo Fisher and KRH. New floodlights etc. Beginninh the Development of rosyth.

Doesn`t seem likely if, as Kdy says, he was celebrating the win with Raith directors at the end of the game.
If we did sign him after that, it would be the biggest U turn since a certain Mo Johnston was photographed in a Sellick strip before heading to Ibrox. 😀

Disagree on Wighton. He just doesn`t fit our system just now without Todd and KRH. He`ll score goals this year.

It must have been one of the Raith mob, Kdy. None of the Pars directors or their guests would have been high 5ing anyone, would they? He must have agreed to sign for them.
As long as he wasn`t doing that with Mumbongo, I don`t care. I wouldn`t want us to sign a player who was celebrating a Pars defeat.

As it happens. I was in the Boardroom yesterday and also in the directors` box (in the Back Row, behind the Dunfermline directors).
Alex Jacubiak and a pal, and Sam Mumbongo and his partner were sitting in the back row across the aisle from me. The Raith Rovers directors were indeed sitting in the front two rows below Alex and Sam but there were a couple of rows between them which had Pars sponsors in them.
I had noticed that Alex and Sam got on well in the boardroom before the game. Sam left at the full time whistle, and I think Alex wished him well. Alex definitely did not go down the aisle to high five anyone from Raith Rovers. I would have seen him.
After the game, Alex was in the boardroom and had no engagement with the Raith Party, who departed promptly.
Case of genuine misunderstanding here I think.
p.s. I`ve no idea who is or is not signing.

Yesterday was a clear indication of how the season will go if we don’t strengthen.
Raith had a pretty strong bench to change things and we didn’t.
O’Halloran looked well off it and I’m not convinced with Otoo in that position. He looked dodgy in the league cup against them and yesterday he was at fault for the goal. Just put the ball out!
Also, why do we persist with this long throw? It was meat and drink for Raith.
It might be the boards fault for lack of signings but it’ll be McPake who will suffer for it.

Did KRH and Otoo sign for free then, did they?
The stadium has had plenty work done. The tunnel area is currently being refurbished, the dressing rooms will be next, and they spent an absolute fortune replacing the floodlights. Then of course the training ground, that must be free as well?

Getting the right infrastructure and facilities in place in my view is the platform to the development plan for the club. If you have good facilities it creates a professional feel about the club and develops that culture in the team. It`s about the image the club wants to present. I remember the days when players arrived and travelled in a suit and tie.

You could end up producing one decent player through the youth academy and it will end up paying for itself.It`s long overdue having decent facilities and makes the club a far more attractive proposition for incoming players.We have brought a few players through recently but the youth set up simply wasn`t good enough for years.

The Courier is reporting that Alex Jakubiak has been training with us this week. Is it tomorrow at midnight that the transfer window closes? Presumably it`s not relevant to us if we`re only interested in out-of-contract players and loanees, who can still be signed in the loan window which is open until the end of September?
I would have thought JMcP would have seen enough of Jakubiak at Dundee to know if he`s a good fit for us.
Any news of Wotherspoon? I suppose if he`s a free agent he`s under no immediate pressure to get fixed up.

Yes, Summers has also played no real amount of football. If your not frustrated we’re not singing experienced strikers your clearly not really understanding where our issues lie
I think ill just throw that one right back at you.
You clearly don`t understand the long term plan of this club.

Was at Hamilton for a week and deemed not good enough for them to take on loan.
Another untested uninspiring signing by the looks of things….hardly played a single game and we’ve been needing a striker or 2 since June and 3 months later nobody yet. Looks like a really cheap option and a bit of a shambles I’d say so far.

According to the Courier we`re still looking at options that can be signed outside the transfer window - presumably a striker. Imagine describing a player as `untested` then writing him off without even seeing him play. I don`t believe McPake won`t have seen him in action.

You know fine well that’s not true. Both the Courier and the Record reported he turned down Hamilton to sign for us.

I hope you`re not the first person he meets when he reports for training next week. Nothing like giving the laddie a chance. Welcome to the Pars, Owen. Look forward to you making the doubters eat their words.
Not your average Sunday League player.

Maybe we are further on than I thought, if we have posters criticising the signing of young talent that has already played first team football for Celtic. Including featuring in the final for the team that won the League Cup.

To be fair, it`s all very well saying that we are developing youngsters but a) unless we buy them Next summer we are developing players for other teams and b) we already have Fisher, Otoo, Todd, Hamilton, Ritchie-Hosler, Tod, Sutherland and Fenton in the "developing" side of things and only really Benedictus, O`Halloran and Chalmers (and Edwards and Wighton to an extent) in the experienced campaigner side. I think a few more old heads would benefit everyone tbh

I don`t see Hamilton as part of the development squad although he could improve his discipline and surely Mehmet and Comrie are established pros? I would say the balance is just about right.

Yes, I saw that he`s a free agent. Don`t we now have enough wingers now that we`ve added Moffat? McPake`s been around a few clubs on loan, so there may be interest from several.

The good thing now that the window is closed players might not take so long to make their mind up. The squad needed beefing up and that`s what we have done. McPake has shown he doesn`t just sign anyone so I trust he did his homework on this as he has on all the others before bringing him in.
c'mon the pars

think they will stay clear of McPake unless the reports and other rumours about attitude/off field stuff arent true.
interested to see how long it takes for this Aussie/Croatian centre half Inverness signed to get his work permit, see if that process is any quicker.

When James McPake had him before
Dundee manager James McPake has hailed Rangers loanee Josh McPake following his start to life at Dens Park.
The 18-year-old has featured in seven Championship games this season but hasn’t cemented himself in the regular Dee XI.

He told the Courier (page 49, 21/11/19): “He’s young but he’s got a great attitude. He’s always willing to learn. He’s started games and has experienced a derby. “Will he be wanting to play more? Yeah.
“It will be up to Rangers to say whether what he’s been getting is enough for how they see him developing, but he’s part of my squad and he’s there or thereabouts every weekend.”

Interesting to hear JMcP in his post-match interview saying that he tried to bring Owen Moffat to the club last close season but the player wanted to try English football.

Agreed. I understand why some folk who are not as well informed or experienced in football management might have had concerns but I recon its time for them to relax and enjoy the realisation that they were erring on the side of caution.
Was that diplomatic enough?
