Gene Parmesan Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Michael O'Halloran hasn't had a goal or assist since the start of September. In the season previous he managed two assists and no goals against top tier opposition all year. Every available measure proves that he is a *vastly* inferior player to Isma Goncalves. The fascination with him on here is bizarre. I'd think twice about taking him on a free, let alone paying hard cash for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busby1985 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Another crazy gamble by Rangers with Murphy. 59 goals in almost 400 appearances and only 8 goals in 3 years. When you think how little Moult went for, crazy! They are paying huge money in wages and fees for players that Aberdeen and us seem to be able to get to us on a shoestring budget. May is a better finisher than Murphy and Lafferty scores more goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rangers first obstacle to overturn is being the clear second best team in the league - which I don't think they are anywhere near being yet.

Thumb Up Emoji Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 17 hours ago, nijambo said: Few guys in the Irish League that would be worth a punt. Gavin Whyte at Crusaders - pacy winger/ midfielder, Mark Sykes at Glenavon - midfielder and Jamie McGonigle - striker at Coleraine. Paul Smyth who left Linfield for QPR made his debut and scored on New year's day, so there is decent talent over here. I'd agree with this. Although, unfortunately, can see Sykes going to a bigger team than us. Hopefully MacPhee is all over this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_A wehatethehibs Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Just thought of the perfect LB for Hearts, fits the profile Danny Fox. Was in Craig Levein's Scotland squads. Decent LB from what I remember? Seems to be out of favour at Forest and out of contract at the end of the season age 31. Might be other English sides in for him tho tbf... Anybody watching Forest / know his status? Jamie Mackie is another one from CLs Scotland days at QPR who fits the "bit past it for the championship but could still do a job for Hearts" profile...
