I think I said in my original post that I laughed myself at a few of the names when told, but again I will say 'if you don't ask you don't get'.

You can also look back over history at the players who have come to Scotland in their latter years looking for a game. And not jus to the old firm. I don't know how many times it has to be explained that all players have a shelf life at the top end of the game and it's no big shock to see them take a wage cut just to get a first team game elsewhere to keep enjoying what they're doing.

So we can't get these people and they're out of our league. Yet when that Haber story came out, WTF was the response on here. Aim high, set the standard and raise the bar on the quality we now want at the magnificent - once people realise that we are aspiring to be better than we are then they want to play their part, a la Naismith etc. I, for one, would rather here we were after these people and tried to get them than be content that Haber and his like are what we should settle for.

So now I will put my neck on the line....Names I was told we at least enquired about which obviously haven't happened, but we either tried or at least asked which I will now say... Mcgeogh, Gray, Murray (yes Hibs), May (Aberdeen). Cadden, Sow, Steven Fletcher, Charlie Adam, Scott Allan. A couple of youngsters from Newcastle one foreign, one English...both strikers. Someone Hollander, I think from West Ham. Even a cheeky enquiry about Adam King not that that was likely. We tried, things changed over last few days. As said at start, we are not finished just yet... i await the the backlash from this post, I also hope a couple of the ITK'er folk back me up.

Has a real spark about him, still young, worth a decent amount, needs a club to settle at, knows the Scottish game. Ticksall the right boxes IMO. He's hit or miss but worth a punt on a free.
