Spencer Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Daily Express back page today although also heard it in last few days too. Express suggest us and Dundee United are in for him. He would be a superb addition imo. Would suggest there is outward movement too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:shitwine: Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Dundee United have already had 3 bids rejected, so I think Wigan would be holding out for a pretty high amount in SPFL terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N Lincs Jambo Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Can't see it tbh. If he's not good enough for a mid-table league 1 side then he's not good enough for a team topping the SPFL Prem. If he is good enough then why is he going? Disruptive?? Can't see RN taking someone on who either isn't good enough or is disruptive...... So he'll probably have signed on the dotted line before I get back from work tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he'll probably have signed on the dotted line before I get back from work tonight No offence but what nonsense. He's already been a major success in Scotland and also, look at that Tavernear tearing up the Championship having "not been good enough for a mid-table League 1 side".

Balders Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I think we could do with one extra striker. Sow, Juanma and Reilly all started last week leaving Oliver as the cover on the bench and realistically I suspect RN would like to send Oliver out on loan to get him more game time. Injuries will happen and even with one striker out it leaves us thin, two missing and we are struggling badly. Having four strikers would also allow us to field stronger teams in the cups while having the luxury of resting one or two strikers for an upcoming league match. Whether our need for an extra striker is more pressing than our need for a midfielder is debatable, I wonder if Paterson's cameo role on Tuesday has persuaded RN that he could be used as midfield cover in an emergency.

We_are_the_Hearts Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Don't think he is the type of striker we will look at. Tends to be he scores or no one does. It wasn't a surprise ICT improved after he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soonbe110 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 ?150K? Bargain based on previous SPL form. We must have earned most of that from higher than expected match ticket sales alreadyAgree. Even at the reported ?200 k he would be a bargain. Would also solve our penalty problem. He is proven at SPL level so it's pretty simple. If we want him it's ?200 k. We will pay him more than Utd will and Edinburgh is just a better place to live than Dundee. We must have the money given ticket sales etc and the fact that we are a year ahead of the club's financial plan. Does Robbie want him though?

XB52 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I've never been impressed with him when at Inverness. He did score a lot of goals but he seemed to miss a lot more than he scored. He is also not very quick. Having said that, if our management team think he is worth spending money on I'll trust their judgement more than mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post. He scored a lot of goals at Inverness but did he not go off the boil a bit before his transfer? He might be a good addition just to provide extra competition for Nicholson, King and Reilly, although an attacking midfielder would be a better addition imo. Maybe we're looking for both.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 He would be a useful signing as the strikers we have are great facing goal and running at defences but think of the crosses we still put in and no one gambles so McKay could be that missing link. I don't believe it will happen though and attacking options from centre midfield are more of a priority, the more competition in that area the better the team will perform but different combinations up front wouldn't go amiss as well.

luckyBatistuta Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 He would definitely be a good addition to the squad, but if it was between signing him or an AM then I'd rather pass on him. Hopefully we can have both though...fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We_are_the_Hearts Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 People keep saying a box to box midfielder but that's not what we need. We have Gomis, Pallardo and Buaben to do the midfield general shift. What we need is someone who can get on the ball in the final 3rd and can open up defences. I believe Walker can do that centrally but when he is out we have no one similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Not needed. Scored goals at Inverness, but seemed to do so in bursts before going quite a while without scoring. Given our options up front already, ?200k would be daft. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
