BigAlim Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Watching the video he looks like a quality winger, not seeing much defending Maybe we could be sticking to the wing back system? We'd need another centre back if we were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i8hibsh Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I could make a You Tube video of Jamie Mole and it would make him look impressive. All I want is someone to come in and bust his bollocks week in week out and have a little bit of quality in an area we lack it. If this boy is up to it then i'll pick him up at Edinburgh airport, I will not accept another dud with a big contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them has to be decent some day. My research hasn't got very far, but has started some Europa League matches but has come off relatively early. Seems a bit of a squad man for Ostersunds, but the upside of that, they are a team doing well and he is definitely involved. Looked a bit more through the Europa League run, he is not a fringe player. Gives me hope he could be decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really see who we can sign in it this January that will improve us and that we can afford. Any player under age of 24 i.e. Mark Russell is going to command at least £200k fee which is far more risky than giving foreigners with decent pedigree a one year deal.

Thomaso Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 The answer to my question is that at the start of Neilson's term as Head Coach, we announced that our policy was that there was better value signing foreign players rather than home grown young talent - Souttar being the exception. We have signed well over 40 foreign players in recent years, mostly unknown, and apart from Sow, most of them were loaned out, paid off, punted, or sold for buttons. The result of this transfer policy is in every window we are having to virtually re-build a team over and over again. The money wasted has been horrendous! The likes of Aberdeen and Hibs have signed some quality players from Scottish Clubs - I really do think we need to re-think our transfer policy.

Berra and Cowie were not available in the Scottish market ie. playing for Scottish Clubs. Agreed nothing wrong with signing players from foreign football, however I think we need a better mix of young Scottish targets. Also agree the vast majority of our signings look like "random punts" and have performed accordingly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
