+x+xin other thread discussions re our players I see the usual suspects making noise.
Expectations and the up speak of ours is too high - so be it Ross County, is it because you expect a higher ranked club should have signed him ? ofcourse eh.
IMO he's OS and out of the comfort zone, either put up or shut up, adjust put in a good season and lets see what he does as will other Clubs looking throughout the season far more than AL.
For me it's less about any perceived club ranking and more about wanting the club and/or league to be suited to the player's qualities and therefore allow Josh to thrive, develop and showcase his talents. I may be wrong but a possible relegation battle in the SPL might not be the most supportive environment for this stage in his career...time will tell.
and to other posts since.
Yer the perfect world scenario a player gets into a Club that suits their style let alone have the understanding knowledgeable gaffa who gets what ticks his new recruits boxs.
FFS, your a minnow in the big picture, kudos he and anyone gets plucked from no where, yes no where land of Oz and gets a OS gig.
Next IF your the player having all the ability where you came from, in time it should stand up out on the pitch once you've settled in your new environment.
Relegation battles or not, a good up and coming player either stands up despite possibly being let down by fellow team mates, he's friggin 25 not 16/17.
He's battled for years to make a name of himself here and finally matured and made it - here.
If I was in his boots and knowing the challenge ahead I would see it as my time/my moment to really have in my heart I am going to make it, even in a low level club I will show them what I got......
Yep time will tell, 25, will he adapt quickly or not, will he gain the confidence to take on players and create ? well I expect so if he's anything the player we have seen he sure should no matter where......
This is his chance - maybe not any others.
Another thing despite its the SPL, obviously my avatar some would call me a eurosnob, like igaf politely last I checked the SPL/Premiership is ranked around 17 and those crying to stay in AL ranked around 29 !
Least he's going to play against 2 major global known clubs with sound players competing in CL/Europa let alone playing them in huge sell out stad with awesum atmosphere incl Hearts St Mirren etcetc.....
I think many here are ALsnobs :) and like many of our players rate it OTT and he should be in a nice club with nice people to develop him, he's already developed.
