    Like Meredith who had played a grand total of four Football League games prior to joining us?

    For me, I’m genuinely reserving judgement on every single one of our signings. Last season was such a mess - the signings I was pleased with in the summer we’re generally crap and those I was underwhelmed with were the only ones that came out with any credit at all.

    New slate and all that.

    He could have and should have been playing for Livingston in the Prem. No idea why he came to Dunfermline other than the opportunity to play with his brother. He likes to get forward and he's effective when he does. He gets back fast too.
    Top scorer for us last year - from defence lol. Tells you how bad our season was. He would have scored more at our level if he had a team round about him. We cleared out 13 chancers. Jackson was one we wanted to keep. We lost a wad last year so the fee has been a blessing. Must have been a decent amount because we have paid a fees for a few players we were not expecting to afford. Latest gossip is £300,000 but no confirmation.
    Yep you got a decent player. I hope he produces the goods.

    I know this sounds sad but its little things like that that are making me excited for the season. Just the little signs that we're going about things properly now, all we need is to move some of the current lot on and things are looking up

    This is more like it. a player the club did not want to let go.

    Defence coming along nicely if we can get another decent Center half in.

    Building from the back. Hopefully we are horrible bastards next season and beat everyone 1-0

    I'll take 'shrewd'.

    It sh*ts on 'reckless and incompetent' any day of the week.

    Tbf, that's how I read it. I didn't take it as mocking at all.

    I'd agree with that. I've long been asking for Rupp to supplement the wage budget with extra money for fees to be invested in young players that have proper talent and potential. Not just aimless punts like Patrick, Pybus, Clare etc.

    If that's what we're doing, then hopefully we've turned a corner...

    After being somewhat underwhelmed by our last signing I have to say I think this is the best signing of the pre-season so far. It reminds me a little bit of the signing of James Meredith, left back, similar age to Meredith when we signed him, Meredith was a conference player which I imagine is a similar standard to the Scottish Championship, both well liked by the clubs fans when we signed them. If he is anything like as dependable as Meredith was then we have a good signing.

    Signing someone from the Scottish championship isn't an instant sign of ambition and wealth.

    Hopefully he's a great signing but your mocking of FB on the back of the signing is just plain daft.

    He was the best player for them so by your logic he should star in league 2
