Seen Andy Giddings (Sports Editor BBC Sheffield) tweeting that Cole Stockton is going to a club in Scotland. Pretty decent scoring record last season for Tranmere and was linked with Blackburn and Preston last year.

Record seems pish enough to warrant a 3 year deal.

 

Cool name as well.

Not sure where you're getting those stats from pal. He scored 13 goals from January to May alone !

Think he scored a hat trick when they beat Solihull Moors 9-0 towards the end of the season.

I note he has the same agency managing him as Aaron Hughes.

Also scored against Bournmouth though.

 

For every huddy in the lower league there a Vardy. Happy to give him the benefit of the doubt and full support if he signs!

Didn't Motherwell get Louis Moult from the National League and a much smaller club to boot? Happy to give the guy a chance.

I've watched a bit of the National League and have no doubt some could do very well up here.

 

I say we go for the beast that is Jon Parkin and pair him up with Zeefuik. That would put the fear of shite into any opposition

Might be alright.

 

Quite a few strikers down there worth taking a look at. Obviously Jamie Vardy comes to mind.

 

John Murray scouted Geoff Horsfield for Hearts under JJ, he was playing in the conference at the time but we were too late in putting in an offer or something.

 

James Norwood at Tranmere

Christian Doidge at Forest Green

 

All worth a punt. Louis Moult has done alright.

Christian Doidge was also rumoured to be going to hearts, not going to happen, would have thought that they would be looking at better than non league players. 

Think Cole will go but only to a league 2 club, couldn't see him getting regular football at league one or SPL

Doidge is good enough to do well in this league. I've seen quite a bit of him and he's got a lot of qualities. Only 24, 6ft 2 and leads the line well, good in the air, good feet, two footed, decent pace and technique.

 

Poor man's Harry Kane would be how I'd describe him, very similar in style and knows the way to goal.

 

If we could get him for under 200k we'd be pishing ourselves laughing.

 

 

And 2:30 in on this one.

Who was writing him off?

'I'll pass' & 'Sammonesque' probably falls into that zone :lol:

Where has the link to Hearts come from?

 

There are 42 clubs in Scotland?

I read 2 or 3 pages but I found this one to be quite interesting.

 

 

The general consensus is that he's not capable of dominating defenders despite being quite physical in appearance.

 

Prefers to have the ball at his feet.

 

Some in agreement that he's playing at his level.

I believe that this window needs to bring better judgement from our management/scouting.

 

I know every signing is still a gamble , even proven players, but I hope we've done a bit more research and took time to look at these signings last season ahead of capturing this close season.

Not really fancying a player is hardly writing him off.

Some would suggest the same with Boyce before he came up here. All I am saying is wait till you see him play for yourself before passing judgement

I've passed no personal judgement.

 

 

I believe all players deserve their time to prove themselves.

 

 

Sometimes a club and a player just fit together.

Not wanting him here and comparing to a striker that was useless here...more writing him off than excited about the signing.

 

We will have to wait and see if it's even here he's linked with.

Looks mediocre enough to warrant a 3 year Levein special.

 

Least its not the special 5 year ones Vlad handed to Jamie Mole.

As always I'll give him a fair chance. You just never know how a player will turn out.

A very Inverness type signing.

How many people had heard of Billy Mackay or Marley Watkins before they signed for ICT and there were times when we would have taken both of them

 

Yes it's a risk but this is the SPL not feckin La Liga. People moan about the faceless cast of foreigners so we start looking at guys with experience of playing in U.K., which is what fans were wanting. Now without knowledge of the guy, people are already saying not good enough for Hearts

 

People need to get real, you want players who have UK experience, we cannot compete with a majority Championship clubs and some League 1 clubs wages. Therefore our choice is limited to what we can afford

I have my doubts about him coming up anyhow. Dont know why.

A Levein special? Did you only just discover the existence of Craig Levein? How about De Vries, Hartley, Fuller, Souttar, Berra, Stamp, Mckenna, Zeefuik, Eckersley, Gomis, Alexander for us - all solid to great? And for D Utd, Dillon, Bauben, Sandaza, Daly, Hunt, Gomis, Flood, Dixon... same, all good performers in Scotland

 

He also overhauled Utd's youth system, leading to the likes of Gauld and Souttar coming through.

 

But it's much better to judge him on the last two transfer windows instead.

Can add Adam Rooney to that list. Inverness have actually up until this year done really well at sourcing players nobody has heard off and turning out to be very good at this level.

 

I'll take it.

You've got to catch the future Boyces and Moults on the way up before they are too expensive, the lower English leagues have some talent and it's a market we've neglected. Could be a good signing, doubt it'll break the bank.

Spot on. Exactly what I was thinking during recent specualtion / hope that we might sign Boyce.

Remember Boyce had been over at Werder Bremens B team and on trial with Celtic - he didn't come from complete obscurity.

Just don't think Cathro should be handed a 'punt' . He needs players who have a strong chance of succeeding here
