Curtis Allen?

[TheHighlandsAreOurs]

I think he should be given a crack at the whip instead of Toby just for one or two games and go from there

Do you not think if he was considered good enough we'd have already seen him?

[madsooz]

It took McKay a while to get used to the premier league and to start scoring goals so you never know, he could be the new Billy!

Unless we're planning a January exit for him, we need to give him some time on the park. Pepper hadn't played for ages when he came on and lost us Europe

So from recollection we dropped something like 60 points last year, however it was all down to Pepper in one game in which he came on that we missed out on Europe.

 

Not losing so many points in the last few minutes of games or OTD failing to track his man on at least four occasions leading to goals, etc

I'm gutted for Curtis that things didn't work out here. Watching YouTube videos and seeing his track record in Northern Ireland it seemed like we picked up another Billy Mckay however watching him in U20 games I wasn't overly impressed and his fitness didn't seem to be too sharp. I think tying up Toby Agdestein on a longer deal would be a more worthwhile move.

[Yngwie]

Complete waste of a wage, in the end. One of our worst signings ever? That Steve Marsella has a lot to answer for!

Who?...

[Guest]

Seems a nice guy going by his twitter. Wish him all the best for the future.

[Yngwie]

Absolutely. Presumably he'll head back to NI, where he scored a lot of goals and can hopefully do so again.

 

Alternatively, he could go to County, where he'd instantly be their best striker........

Totally agree with this. I watched him play for the 20s v Hamilton and Motherwell and was unimpressed by him both times. Adam Evans looks far more worthy of a wage as does Toby.

[Libero]

Really disappointed that things didn't work out for him here. Whilst I don't think he would have dislodged Billy from the main strikers berth I thought he would have enough quality to help the team from the bench. Obviously we don't know what goes on behind closed doors but injuries and other-set backs haven't helped him reach the first team. I'm sure he goes with everyone's best wishes.

 

Does this mean that a wage has opened up to strengthen the squad in January? If so i wonder if Yogi will dip into the transfer market, will be interesting to see what happens. I guess a lot depends on if we receive any transfer bids for any of our current playing staff

[Council Juice]

Going by what Yogi said in the video link on the thread about Esson, sounds like lads had a lot of injuries and is kind of just worn out by them.

I'm currently in New Zealand, in hospital, after breaking my foot, with my festive plans all up in smoke and I can definitely empathise with such a mind set. I just wanna go home and be with the family for a bit.

[Scarlet Pimple]

I said this before that constant pain ages you  and reduces your energy.

[lukemackay]

injuries seemed to hold him back. missed the bulk of pre season never seemed to recover.

[Doofer]

Sorry, Curtis who?

Signs for Glentoran -

The former Northern Ireland Under-21 international failed to make a first-team appearance for the Scottish Premier League outfit despite having featured on the substitutes' bench.

 

 

No he didn't.  

[+old caley girl]

Good luck to him :-)

[Alex MacLeod]

Shock Horror-----------------BBC get it wrong again!!!

[Sneckboy]

Good luck to him. A prolific scorer in Northern Ireland's top league before coming to us - I'm sure he'll re-discover his form back 'home'.

Ironically, he's got a good chance of playing in Europe next year!

[Yngwie]

Scored 2 goals on his debut today.

[Council Juice]

Standards a little lower. Probably lower than that of our under 20 league.

Funny, I started this thread. Didn't realise that till now (since starting it anyway).

[ICTRoughi]

Curtis Allen scoring the first goal, some strike too.
