Haken Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 So hardly anything Really? It's been posted on here that Walker was 'only' offered ?100 a week extra. Or ?5,200 a year pay rise. I'd bite your hand off for that right now. But the context here is that while ?50k may appear peanuts in the grand scheme of things, it could be the difference between keeping a player and a player leaving.

LarrysRightFoot Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Spoke to a Pars fan and a Stenny fan about McMullan. Both rave about. Stenny fan said he single handedly kept them up when he was there. Unplayable at times. Both said he is great going one v one with defenders and good and at getting his cross in. Obviously this was at a lower level and you can't guarantee he would make the step up but sounds promising. Would be a low risk possible high reward signing.

Know nothing about the kid but it's a market I like us looking at. Ok, Keatings and Reilly didn't work out long term but we should be first in line when talent is available in Scotland imo. A punt on this lad versus a punt on Osh, Rherras, Avlonitis.... etc. Look at Andy Robertson, the gems can be out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Posting 'Levein's recruitment disaster' as fact is jackanory stuff By and large Neilson and Cathro / Macphee have had just as much say as Levein if not more in who we have signed. What worked for Neilson didn't work for Cathro and he was supported with some short term signings in January. Last summer we brought in British players with SPL experience, the season before we brought in exactly the sort of young player doing well in the championship that we have always tried to do before We haven't done anything wacky or anything that we haven't done before. The recruitment got us into the top 2-3 in the league then Robbie left Cathro is more limited i.e. He can't do an allardyce and kick players up the arse and play them no matter what, but he arguably has more potential playing a more expansive style but he needs the right type of player. Hence we need to recruit in numbers this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my info is he met Lennon and also met Cathro and Levein. According to his Dad at the beginning of the week, 2 clubs in Scotland have approached him. Rangers and Hearts. He specifically said that Hibs hadn't. Steven Whittaker has spoken with Levein and as it stands the wages we can offer him won't come close to capturing him. To put it into context, he had the opportunity to move to Wigan and they offered him 4K a week and it wasn't close to being what he was looking for. He's in no desperate rush to return north as his wife and kids live with him and will move where he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be daft here but if he's thinking in his head that 4 grand a week is not acceptable than why would be waste both his and Hearts time as he is surely not so naive to think that we could offer that?Also his dad should really not be blabbing about his son.....

I believe Wigans offer was made to him in January. When a club makes the call, it's common decency to hear them out. Players family members the length and breadth of the UK 'blab'. A high percentage of the time their info won't make it into the public domain, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly been highly rated for a while. Good if he has done well at Dunfermline. I agree that its the kind of signing that is low risk, if possible you could give him a 1 year deal to show he can make it in the Premership.

I think with playing every week from a young age McGregor didn't seem to have a team.. Be a great signing if we got him tho.. Depends what they want tho.. if they are looking for a decent salary they will be nowhere near us.. our hope is that they are just looking to settle down back in Edinburgh..

chester copperpot Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Do you think he would sign for us if we approached him though? Considering I am not Allan McGregor I have no idea. When I spoke to his family member though they did state that he would be interested in talking to us as coming back up the road is something he definitely would consider. I guess it depends on A: whether we would like to sign him B: whether we would fork out a big wage for a 35yr old. I doubt this is happening due to the fact that I think Cathro wants his players in ASAP so if nothing's been done yet with Allan I doubt it will happen.

McGregor was a Jambo when he was younger. Once he was at Rangers from a young age he obviously began to sway that way, but defo a Jambo before. As I said previously very slim chance he would come to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
