McCallum to Solihull Moors

[Reflecto]

Shame - would have liked him at BR. Interesting that he has stayed in NL?

[Howling Mad Murdock]

Wishing him the best of luck.

[Sid Bishop]

Surprised he has moved up to a Midlands National League club. Sure if we had made a move for him that he would have come to us. Could it be that we preferred Harrold to McCallum ? I cannot think myself that in a choice between the two, that Harrold will score more than McCallum would have done for us in Division 2 next season.

[jamespevans]

They play to his strengths, hoof it long and play the percentages. If they need to let somebody go it would be nice to nick Jamey Osborne

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Possibly a decision from us not to go in seriously for him because he doesn’t suit our style, or Justin’s expectations of a hard working player, or that we couldn’t guarantee him being first choice. Can’t see Solihull outbidding us.

I would have liked him but it’s not the end of the world. Unless we don’t sign another striker anyways.

[LOFC1948]

Pity - thought we might be in for him. Olly Palmer could be an alternative ?

My guess is we simply didn't go in for him. A shame really because I think he would have done well for us.

Why didn't a League team sign McCallum?

[Bergen]

Might be because of his injury problems.

[OyinbO]

Bizarre. If he tears up the National League again next season, and Harrold is as effective as a wet fart, then I shall be turning up to matches with an "Edinburgh Out" banner

Don’t take much too get you riled then

[Long slender neck]

Shown his ambition

[CreamofSumYungGai]

You’re not comparing like for like.

Harold is an impact sub, useful when we’re chasing a game, or seeing s game out, but that’s it. I don’t expect him to start next season.

I still expect striker 3, and possibly striker 4, to come in ahead of him.

McCallum doesn’t suit us.

Orient blindness. Can't see farther than ex-players.

Ollie Palmer is a ''Marmite' type of player to most Os fans.
Anyway, he is not a free agent, contracted to Crawley Town till the end of season 2019-20.

[CreamofSumYungGai]

We need another main man, someone who can interchange with Macca and Josh for a starting spot. That's not Ollie Palmer. (Nor is it Matt Harold).

Have a day off.

[RicketyCricket]

Shame as he seems like a good all-round striker now. Well, at least in the air.

But like others have said he isn't suited to us and I don't think he'd be happy warming the bench either. Good signing for Solihull Moors, they lost Yussuf to Blackpool (weird signing for them) but have signed someone better, fair play.

[ComeOnYouOs]

I'm gutted to be honest. McCallum would have been a good choice for us. Surprised we didn't make a move.
Strangely, I saw some fella post on Twitter a couple of weeks ago, that he was going to Moors, but thought it was some silly rumour.
Hope we do better than last summer in the transfer stakes, but I reckon we let one get away here

[Scuba Diver]

Personally not sorry we didn't go in for him.

Injury-prone; serious disciplinary problems in the past; and stands around like a totem pole most of the time.

Not really a team-player, all told.
Granted he's had a purple patch this season,but no guarantee he'll repeat it.

'' stands around like a totem pole most of the time.''
In between scoring goals that is !!
Scored 2 before half time against us recently as I recall.
Different class and times I know, but according to his critics, Jimmy Greaves used to stand around a lot of the time, in between scoring lots of goals that is !!

[Disoriented]

Another missed opportunity. Will we never learn?

WE signed on ''King Harrold'' for another season instead. I like Matts ''habit'' of coming on for the last 30 minutes or so and ''Putting'' in a shift !!
I also like Paul McCallum's ''habit'' of regularly ''Putting'' the ball into the back of the net !!

Very true Sid - he has an eye (head) for goal.

[Thor]

Personally I don’t he’s mobile enough, has a poor injury record and he never pulled up enough trees when he was here before. I previously said he’d only scored 1 goal outside of a header which is not how we play. Confirmed by another order.

So all in all I think if Edinburgh ever considered him he would have been discounted pretty quickly based on my facts.

He suits their sh*t way of playing immensely ,
