JamboAl Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 No news of him but I think I'm correct in saying he could sign tomorrow, or whenever, as he is now out of contract with Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 He has received a longer term offer from at least one other club..... we were discussing a one year deal but a longer term contract will have it's attractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambo85 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Why do we need another defender? I am right in saying that Paterson is back in training? McGhee has done a great job since coming in. We have got Brad McKay as cover at centre half and have just signed a left back. Has anyone come in for Scott Robinson? If they have then Id much prefer to see another midfield player come in with David Smith going to Falkirk to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of reason Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Most likely to go to Dundee you would think. He's from Dundee and had a successful loan there from Celtic. I would imagine he'd rather go to his hometown team in the top league than play for either us or Hibs in the Championship. Hopefully not though as he would be a useful addition. We will soon find out I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauld Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 He is meant to be pretty good but I have always been scared of the defenders Celtic let go, remember the likes of towell who went to hibs on loan, that guy josh thompson was dreadful and many others I have seen. I can't remember the last decent defender they had who actually came through their system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Can't see the lad playing if he joins us. Once Paterson is back we have McGhee and McKay to cover plus Eckersley. Indeed Eckersley could play left back and McHattie cover centre half in emergency. I don't know much about the lad but I'd suspect he will be heading elsewhere if he wants game time.

Jambobay Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 After coming through the transfer window without losing anyone in defence I don't really see the point of this one, Jordan has proved he is more than capable of covering for Paterson and can step in at centre half if either is injured/suspended and McKay is there for cover as well as Eckersley for the left. Sufficient cover across the back for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If Prem teams are after him you'd expect 2/3 year deal which would make it a no brainer. Otherwise 1 year with us or stuck for the remainder of a contract in the Championship with the wee team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sufficient cover across the back for me. We have another 32 league games and other cup games to play this season and there will be times when our resources are stretched by injury, suspension and loss of form. There is never a bad time to sign a decent player so if RN and CL fancy having this guy 'join the revival' then I'm happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammy T Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hey - the guy either buys into being developed as a player or he doesn't. There can't be any team in Scotland at the moment progressing players better than us. If he wants midtable shiteness in front of 4k fans on 50 bob more a week then fair play to him.

Uncle Buck Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 He could be third choice centre back and would also partner McKay in the cup. Means we have two players for each position I think, and Jordan McGhee won't have to play centre back in the cup. It's funny that McGhee's our most played player this season.

Bauld Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Whether the player likes it or not I reckon McGee is turning into a far better right back than centre back. On his performances in each place he would never oust Wilson or Ozturk from centre back but at right back he is putting a tremendous amount of pressure on Paterson. He has been solid at right back defensively and has been getting better going forward with each game he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_jambo74 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I think age is a factor here with McGhee. He's not strong enough yet to be a centre half (gets bullied by a strong centre forward too easily), so more suited to right back at the moment (where he's up against smaller wingers). In time he'll get stronger, and be a great centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Le Clos Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 We have another 32 league games and other cup games to play this season and there will be times when our resources are stretched by injury, suspension and loss of form. There is never a bad time to sign a decent player so if RN and CL fancy having this guy 'join the revival' then I'm happy with that. This. We've also got to think long-term. After the start we've had winning the league, not simply promotion, should not just be a hope but a priority. If we were to go back up we would need to bolster numbers in defence and midfield at least. I'd rather have a player on the books who's been developed over this season in regards to game plan etc. and has got used to playing with team-mates, than need to bring someone new in next summer.

Usf266r Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I remember Brian Clough played the young chris fairclough,steve chettle and des walker at full back until they matured into good centre backs for him.mcgee,as somebody has said,looks at home at right back to me but he'll mature into a good centre back in time.steven pressley was also utiilised as a right back at d.utd until he toughened up to play alongside malpas.
