Its obv not a quick fix problem and we should be able to spend vital resources elsewhere as I presume we are pying part of his wages.

I may have misread/misheard that somewhere though I agree entirely. He came to us to get game time and has hardly kicked a ball for us so there is really no point in keeping him now unless of course he is nearing full fitness. Even if he is with such a long time out he would be a risk and we could use the money of someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i sakd before so much as we are screaming out for a LB we have a very solid defence so losing the wage of ASB and utilising it elsewhere and uskmg Brandon/Smith til summer is not the worst scenario. Creativity and a finisher is much higher priority in my humble opinionoaneeee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely right re vfm but you have to accept that when we are not awash with money we sometimes have to take risks. CL will have seen him at close quarters while he was with us and if we decided to take him on it would be a low risk, in financial terms at least unless we dished out a 3 year contract.

We do seem to do a lot in the background that doesn’t get out the club so fingers crossed. Worst case if Laff appeal is successful and Walkers away then we can have balance in the team for the cup tie but Im not sure any of us would accept that position esp given the words coming out of Tynie since Cathro left.

The Hibs game is massive and would all but end our season should we not win. There is a positive vibe about our club at the moment and hopefully that will continue, but you only need to look at results in the cup in the last few seasons to see that things can turn very quickly. That’s the reason I thought the club would push the boat out a bit regarding this transfer window ( a couple of quality signings or loans). Fingers crossed their is still time and Lafferty wins his appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you I would rather have less than more if its the right player Byrne we ended our interest I think, that could be financial and down to wages or we had a rethink and don’t want him. McGinn as well was always more likely to go back to his former club. So realistically the only signing we have missed out on is the Swedish Syrian to a league with much greater wages on offer. Nothing to get too concerned about IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears he's under contract until July at Wigan but his goals per game tally seems to have dropped a bit since his first season there.

Only had 45 minutes this season at FC Freiburg so talk of him cancelling the loan contract. Klopp considering him for a LFC first team runout or sending back out on loan. Seen him playing a few times and the potential this lad has is frightening, he would absolutely tear this league up!
