kelty_par Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 With the other reporting saying a 23 year old in and this guy only 21, maybe that’s who the 2nd potential signing is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure rovers fans aren't complaining about half their squad having worked with Murrey and Potter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former Spurs defender is understood to have travelled north to complete the formalities of his move from the English Championship club. The 21-year-old, who spent a short spell on loan at Dundee, is expected to go straight into the Pars team to face Airdrie this weekend as manager James McPake copes with a defensive crisis. The Fifers boss has been desperately seeking reinforcements after being hit with a worsening injury list. Malachi Fagan-Walcott (right) made his debut for Dundee against Raith Rovers in January 2021. Image: Paul Devlin / SNS Group. Skipper Kyle Benedictus, Rhys Breen and Aaron Comrie are all sidelined for a minimum of the next four weeks. And Sam Fisher is still recovering from the concussion – his second in the space of a fortnight – and facial wounds he sustained in the Fife derby defeat to Raith Rovers. McPake has now turned to a well-known face, having also signed Fagan-Walcott on loan for Dundee in January 2021. The former England youth internationalist made two appearances for the Dark Blues but his loan was cut short due to injury. ‘Work on others’ A hamstring problem resulted in him returning to Spurs, where he had made his debut in a Champions League round of 16 loss to RB Leipzig in March 2020. It is expected the agreement will be finalised on Friday, with Fagan-Walcott due to train with his new team-mates ahead of Saturday’s match. There is the outside chance a second fresh face could also arrive in time for the game. McPake said: “We’ll hopefully have one in for the weekend. Dunfermline’s Sam Fisher picked up a nasty facial injury against Raith Rovers. Image: SNS. “One should get us through Saturday! And then we’ll work on others. “But we should definitely have one in our squad for Saturday. “It will be a loan deal and it’s one we were looking at for this summer as well. “I know it looks like there’s still no signings in, and stuff like that. ‘Improve the DAFC squad’ “But hopefully this one will be the first one. “We’ve had good conversations with the board in Germany and with David [Cook, CEO]. David’s working all hours as well, we’re all doing that. “The aim’s still the same, we need to improve the squad. “We’re looking to get this one in and then looking to see what more we can do.” Lewis McCann has been missed in attack by Dunfermline. Image: Craig Brown / DAFC. Amidst a nightmare season of repeated injury blows, Dunfermline are set to miss seven first-choice players for this weekend and beyond. As well as the defensive quartet already mentioned, the Pars also have Alex Jakubiak, Matty Todd and Kane Ritchie-Hosler currently unavailable. However, there has at least been some good news for McPake on the injury front this week. Lewis McCann has been sidelined since pulling up with a hamstring problem in the 1-1 draw with Arbroath on December 23. And Ewan Otoo also sat out the meetings with Ayr United and Queen’s Park in recent weeks as he battles a minor injury. ‘Massive bonus’ However, barring any late setbacks, both will be in the squad to face Airdrie. McPake added: “The two that missed out on Friday, who are now available for us, are Lewis McCann and Ewan Otoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are aspects of running a club that are to be expected but that doesn't mean that antisocial or violent behaviour are an absolute given. Anyway, bans handed out today, that indicates the club are not willing to accept it. Rightly so, I should clarify other than moaning fans by deal with it I mean accept it’s a situation that needs management rather than accept that people who are into attacking opposition fans should be allowed at the ground. 2 minutes ago, Piracy said: Thanks, but I meant the text from the report as I'm not registered with the Courier so can't access the article 🙄 I'm a lazy sod It’s free to view but if you’ve read too many articles just open it in another browser or in private mode. On this signing(that is what we’re meant to be talking about 😀 ), I have no idea how good he is so will need to wait before commenting on that. Positives are it won’t use up a loan spot and given the comment about him originally being a next season target and him being out of contract with Cardiff in the summer I think we maybe targeting a permanent deal if it works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was due to it being a cross-border loan and therefore not subject to the spfl rules over loan numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
