The Internet Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I'm shocked that move isn't working for him. Hopefully we can get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingantti1874 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Yep.. Should be all over that.. I'll get shot for this but Andy driver and temps should also be available in Jan on pre contracts.. There arent a lot of creative players available and we could do far worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone mentioned Andy Driver he is playing at a decent level in Holland and last I noticed he is injury free nowadays. He would still be an excellent player for us. If we can afford him.

1971fozzy Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 McGinn is well outwith our reach. Add the fact why would he even consider coming to play in a squad as bad as ours at his age ? Sadly I think we are a few years away from attracting players like him. Driver ? Yes please. Anyone who is decent going forward is an improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communist Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I think people are forgetting that in Drivers latter days he appeared to have lost all his pace and ability to go past opponents. Some people get a bit misty eyed when looking back. He would probably be a very slight improvement but not much over what we already have. Dutch football is not the best standard these days.

By the light Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Would be an amazing signing, exactly what we need. Would be delighted if we could get him but I think realistically he’ll be offered more cash elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela Anderson would probably improve our current midfield. We seem to struggle to get players with a good past record to recreate it for us, Sutton, Sammon, Wyness and so on. I fear Mcginn might be dragged into the mediocre football we have sadly developed for two seasons now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't as big a deal as some folk tried to make out. Essentially, he changed into a left-sided midfielder rather than an out-and-out winger.

Recruitment has been an absolute riot in all honesty and dont think the people who have squandered money over the last two years should be allowed to make calls in this window.

I agree that one player doesn't determine the quality of Dutch football, but I do watch Dutch football, it's not the best. Wouldn't say it's miles ahead of Scottish football at all. A few big teams and the rest mostly average, sound familiar? I wasn't bothered when Driver eventually left us, and I don't think he would be a massive improvement on what we have at the moment. Kenny Anderson would not improve us either, but each to their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have enough midfielders who have no pace and want to turn and play backwards at the first opportunity. Driver had lost his creativity when he no longer looked to take his man on. We don't need more of that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who is decent going forward is an improvement No disrespect but I don't get that thinking? We need good players so you go for them. He might see a underperforming squad but you tell/convince potential signings we need them to improve. No team is a one man team but he'd almost make an immediate impact with his quality and experience. He's the sort we need to link play in the last third. I think we have some good players but as many average. I don't think it's particularly a poor squad. But we've all been over the reasons and it'll take a minimum 4 decent signings(midfield essentially) to fast track us to a real,competitive level imo. But the question mark lies over our judgement in the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only see the financial resources required for the stand killing any potential move. Lafferty and Berra must've been on big bucks down South before we got them and they took a cut? As we've said before it's about timing. If the move hasn't worked out he may take a large wage cut like the above to get home and enjoy playing a bit football in his latter years.
