Seems like a very good signing to me, he'll certainly offer something we don't have. Excellent interview with him on the main site as well. Welcome to Alty.
-
Excellent interview, welcome micheal, I was at witton when he played in the friendly for us, way back.
-
Welcome to Alty Micheal.
Bullied us up at Gateshead and another tall player which will give us another dimension.
Could form a great partnership with Reevesie especially if they know each other. Very pleased with this.

Indeed, one of the best interviews I've read from a new recruit.
It looks like our whole "doing things properly thing" really paid off in this instance.
-
Great signing on the face of it. Proper statement of intent
-
Looks a very good addition to the squad and a good lad too if that interview is anything to go by.
Welcome to Alty, Michael! :)
-
Interesting to see if LS scraps the lone striker in favour of 4-4-2 to accommodate both him and Damian?.
-
Welcome to Alty Michael.
Nice to see another striker alongside Damo who has a bit of pace.
Enjoy your stay.

Good luck michael as for playing 4 4 2 I thing richman and moult had very good seasons but would I trust them in a 2 man midfield probably not infact Id say 4 4 2 is abit risky anyway
-
That's clearly his favourite choice of headgear:

Absolutely fantastic signing. Welcome to Alty. believe he lives in Donny so can car share with his strike partner.
Right winger next please
-
Yes - encouraging signing this, plenty of experience, physical presence up front and sounds like a good lad to boot based on his interview
Welcome to Alty Michael :)
-
Just seen his goal on you tube , more like that for us please , welcome and good luck .

Agree Jimmy, happy with signing. Although health warning if this guy an upgraded Perry? He played more games in a better team but scored less goals - last season
That said if he can provide for Reeves happy days
How Cambridge?
-
Happy happy happy. Simple as that.

Enjoying very much so far 10 mins from Cambridge blue

Sounds like a tremendous signing. Well done all involved.
-
Super signing, a more mobile version of Kyle with bags of experience too. Just what we needed.
Welcome Michael you will love your time at Alty.
-
Good luck Michael, really looking forward to watching you next season, I know all our supporters will get behind you. Hope the other players and management have already told you about us all!!
-
A very good signing (I hope!) The fact he did his research about the club and got such fantastic feedback is absolutely brilliant news. I don't care if Michael doesn't score 20+ goals for us - when I have seen him play he is the kind of player who always gives 100% effort - we can't really ask for much more than that, so welcome to Alty Michael. Have we really found someone who can play alongside Reevsey at last?
-
Looks like the Watmore money is coming through
-
More likely players released = budget available for new players.

????
I don't think anyone we have signed so far will be on anymore money than who they have replaced?

Michael will possibly be on more than Kyle but overall the books need to be balanced. Have we declared an increased playing budget?
Welcome Michael - great signing. very pleased chap here.

Any suggestions for a song for him? Might I put forward the old Slade song Cum on feel the noise adapted as:-
Come on Michael Rankin
Give em a good spankin
We want wow wow wow!!
Any other suggestions, during this boring close season!!

Working on an ebony and ivory remake, Michael Rankine and Reevesy, travel together from sunny donny, side by side they play striker, score goals oh how do we.. etc
-
Got to be based on Uptown Top Rankine by Althea and Donna?
-
Hope he likes talking to the fans after the game!!!!! If he wants a lift.
-
Rankin full stop by the beat

If its of interest, my York City supporting mate's assessment of our new addition is as follows;
""Shabba" should do a job for you, very powerful shot.. Big strong beast of a target man, defenders bounce off him but never scored many goals for us though and no pace..."
-
A cursory glance at Michael Rankine's career record confirms that he has never been what you would term a prolific goalscorer.
Consequently, I would hope that we are still actively pursuing another striker with the objective of addressing our overreliance on Damian Reeves.

Welcome Michael you will love your time at Alty.
Is there such a thing as a less mobile version of Perry......?!
-
Mc Aliskey?

Precisely.

Twiss.

Don't wish to be a downer, but he was lazy when played for us and just there for the money . Good luck
-
You maybe right however he moved onto better things after the loan to barrow
-
Best player on the pitch at Gateshead a few weeks ago, coupled with a great strike for the goal.

Took the goal well, but the best player on the pitch was the young French winger with a pineapple on his head !

I was in York today and spoke to some York City fans.
They rate Michael highly, always gave full value effort wise and defenders loads of problems, apparently has pace once he gets going and is a decent penalty taker. But not a prolific scorer.
