wavydavy Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Haven't a clue but he was an international player. A player's worth is often determined by how desperate the buying club are and how much they are willing to pay. If pressed I would have thought the sum mentioned above of ?350k would not be unreasonable. The ?350k mentioned was for Rossi was it not? Unless I have read it wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 The ?350k mentioned was for Rossi was it not? Unless I have read it wrong It was. However ?350k for Rossi was "undisclosed" and I don't think that fee is unreasonable these for an international player even if Johnsen did get late to the table.

We can't get McGregor, McGovern or anyone you might describe as a triple A signing for a club our size. MacDonald is a fantastic shot stopper - possibly one of the best in the league. Hamilton is pish and Noring can't shift him. MacDonald would be an improvement on what we have for at least a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swanny17 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 MacDonald in as backupo goalie would be fine by me, as long as we have a brand new number 1 with Hamilton going out on loan and Noring leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was weak with cross balls but I'd rather have a keeper that excels in one area (shotstopping) than whatever Hamilton is supposed to be good at (because its not shotstopping or cross balls!). Folk seem desperate to use being weak at cross balls as an excuse not to take him but how many keepers are actually good with cross balls at our level? Alexander wasn't and he was supposed to be an improvement on him. Given our lack of options to fill the GK space and Killie being poor as **** we could get MacDonald most likely for free (since they want Bell) and regroup next season with a better all rounder.

PTBCAL Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 We need some midfield and wide players. This current squad coupled with the disadvantage of no home games and no manager will struggle top 5. Dare I say it but unfortunately I think Hibs have a better manger (currently) and a more balanced squad.

We've pissed about enough money over the last twelve months on contracts and shite players to have easily covered these positions. New stand excuse shouldn't be a factor but due to poor recruitment it will now be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DxB Hearts Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 New manager coming in will play Noring from the first game. Apart from one mistake early on I think he's been pretty solid.

WageThief Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Exactly. I know what you mean, but I think Kitchen done a good job for a while. He rarely performed or even played much under Cathro, but that could be said of others. I think the midfield improved with Kitchen/Djoum/Cowie over Buaben/Gomis/Pallardo. Maybe my hindsight has been blinded by Cathro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 To be fair Cathro hadn't finished signing the players he wanted for his chosen style 3-4-3 Now that he has been ditched of course the squad will look unbalanced for two reasons 1. We hadn't finished our business 2. Daly now wants to play a formation that isn't suited to the players we spent all summer buying. Funny thing is Daly knows it if you listen to his interview attacking Rodgers. Our width comes by way of wing backs - the wide players in the midfield 4. The 3 at the back comes from Hughes Souttar and Berra The 3 at the front Lafferty as the focus with players like Isma and Walker more fluid and able to come in from wider etc We needed 2 to 3 more players really to give that formation a decent crack. (2 CMs ideally and a new keeper). If we drastically change formation we need another 5 or 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo92 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Bump.. no rumours out there? Thought the perk of having the DOF system means we didnt have to rely on a having a head coach in place to make signings etc. If our recruitment drive has stopped does that indicate a move away from our system? I know he has strong Hibs connections, but a signing we should be looking to make is Liam Henderson, midfield is crying out for a player like him and Celtic aparently willing to sell. Keeper - Jon McLaughlin still unsigned to a team, and Michael McGovern getting splinters on Norwich's bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
