The whole squad? I don’t think you can legitimately make that claim.
Players have, as long as I’ve watched football, continually shown themselves to be capable of playing at higher levels. Not every player obviously but I think we see evidence of it every single season.

No real 100% reason officially given for John Robertson leaving Linfield online that I can find, but it seems he was 4 months into a 2 year full time contract which he agreed to end by mutual consent.
Certainly a lot of rumours flying about at the time. Plenty of innuendo about Line-field, white lines, Peruvian Marching Powder, etc

JR would be a gamble. On the plus side he’s scored some goals against championship opponents (us and wee team) but can he step up that far and do it consistently over a season? Who knows. Then there is his extra curricular activities to consider. Overall I’d probably pass on him if we had the opportunity to bring in someone who’s done it at this level instead.

Thats exactly what he did.
He pointed out that players doing well and looking good in lower divisions dont always make it at championship level, as was very well shown by our title winning squad.

Totally agree with that. Kane offers something we’re badly lacking without him in someone who can take the ball in and bring others into play. That physical presence is vital in this league. That said, Connor Young could be that guy. You’d imagine it’s now or never for the lad. He’s got the raw ability, decent finisher, and if he can stay fit and get a consistent run we might see him getting us the goals we have lacked previously.
Big season ahead for him, he needs to deliver. He’ll need service, of course, and hopefully the midfield can give him that. He looked lively in spells last season but was hampered with the injury at Ayr.
EK did look well structured and are no mugs at all. Won’t be many teams going there and getting an easy 3 points and they seem ambitious to get to the championship going by Simon Ferry. As for Raith, here`s hoping they have a stinker and we get the better of them in our head to head fixtures. Would love to go up, but even if we’re in the Championship next season and they are too, you’d take that for the derby days alone. Nothing better than getting one over on that lot.

Young and Cooper certainly have the instinct, and I felt that if we didn`t extend Cooper`s contact would have been an opportunity missed, I`m sure they will kick on, but yes we do need more experience up front as well , like wee Eck was hoping it was Fletcher, I guess pre season people just post anything.

I spoke about Robertson on another thread before all this kicked off and thought it might be worth us having a look at him if we hadn`t already done so. Reason being he plays out wide, seems to have pace and a bit of an eye for goal, the sort of player we have been badly missing in the last few seasons.
We could be doing with signing one or two players who could get bums off seats. If the reasons for him leaving Linfield are as suggested though best to give him a wide berth.
