1971fozzy Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I think he’s a decent signing. Maybe a bit stale at least he hammer throwers and someone that I would be happy to take a punt on. looks like they are definitely losing one or even both of their jewels though.

C'mon Levein, lets get some of that at least and better... I like Chris Erskine at Patrick Thistle, another proven player at this level. There are so many more that we could get in on what appears to be another shoestring budget. I hope for better but this should be the lowest we aim for, surely!?! He has one good game in ten, I don't remember him ever showing up against us at Tynie, and he's nowhere near tough enough for Big Fizzicul Hertz. I say Hibs are welcome to him.

Spellczech Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Fair play to Hibs. Probably Hamilton's best player and they are probably easy to deal with due the the fraud they allowed to happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busby8 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 We've been crying out for someone like Crawford for ages. Hamilton's most creative player, available on a free, yet not a sniff from Hearts.

Jodami Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Crawford and for that matter Erskine have had very poor seasons in teams who are toiling. I don't see how they would improve our first team, really looking at a Chris Cadden calibre player in Scotland to do that but I don't think we have that kind of money.

Shanks Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 56 minutes ago, tian447 said: Ali Crawford is a snivelling, mutant looking little diving diva, who thinks that anyone who comes within a 5ft radius of him is committing a foul, whilst at the same time being a nasty piece of shit when it comes to tackling, deliberately going in to injure opponents. He is an exceptionally limited footballer. He'll be 27 this summer, and has never played for anyone other than Hamilton ****ing Accies, and hasn't even had a pube in the door of the Scotland set up, never mind a foot. They are welcome to him.

Stuart G Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Ali Crawford has played 14 out of 34 league games with 1 goal this season, no idea if this is due to injury or performance but not a lot of football played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 If it makes you lot feel any better, a Hamilton fan that I know doesn't really rate him, says he's a lazy git and far too inconsistent, and reckoned he reminded him of Jamie Walker with his inconsistency, he has it in his locker to be good but his attitude isn't the best.

I'm in the camp where we should be openly debating the merits of our transfer dealings without it being a slur on Hearts. I genuinely can't say I've been that inspired so far, ( hope I'm completely wrong), so when someone like Crawford comes up, and there are indications that he may be going to our neighbours across the city, it seems like an opportunity lost. My belief is that Crawford would be a real asset at Tynecastle. Great first touch and always looking to play the ball forward, something many of our current midfield players aren't doing consistently enough. Sure, he comes with baggage, but we've handled players with a past before and got the best out of them. Bear in mind too, he's been on the market for offers since January, and the way we conduct our transfer business, I'm sure there would have been something in the media before now if we'd been interested in him.

loveofthegame Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Proven SPL player, sticks out like a sore thumb as a talented player in a really poor side, exactly the type of player we should be going for.

JamboGraham Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Hugely and frustratingly inconsistent (source season ticket holder at Hamilton...)

We do need some signings to give the place a buzz. I can honestly say I've never even noticed McLean when he has played against us. As for Crawford, I think he was injured for a fair whack of this season, ( I've not double checked), which might explain his lack of appearances. I've always thought he was a stand out. Then again, I've always rated him so have perhaps watched him more closely than other Hamilton players. Fully agree about needing players to re-ignite the support. Early days yet so I'm hopeful of a few coming in that will galvanise the fans, but unfortunately the calibre of our recent signings have had a bit of a marmite effect on most of us. The idea of us being in for Craword, if it came to that, would probably be similar going by some of the opinions on here. .
