tian447 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 There is a good chance that the club are still dealing with things. We've made a few signings so far that many people didn't know too much about - which is probably a good thing in the current football market. I refuse to accept it's over. Just don't make me take down the shrine I've got to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reply to asking the question was "deal is not dead" Banderson taking info from other sites shock.... Id imagine in the grand scheme were still a good fit for him. 2year deal , play regularly progress from last year move on next summer to a decent level team knowing he’ll play. Right now hes probably not a guaranteed starter anywhere hes been quoted. Money talks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) I still believe this will happen. Not itk but why would we engage in protracted negotiations with Genoa if we hadn't already sounded David out salary wise? I reckon any problem will be some minor glitch regarding clauses in his contract rather than wages. How much would another club have to offer to trigger a selling clause for example? If it doesn't happen the potential fee and salary should still be there to pursue someone else. Milinkovic is good but he isn't a unique talent. Plenty like him if we look in the right places.

Ribble Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Would happily take him back but not going to be heart broken if he doesn't join, touch of brellier syndrome for some folk on here where he's good but not half as good as some folk seem to think. Ridiculing folk for pointing out that his decision making in the final 3rd could be better? Are folk actually saying that he didn't get into really good positions before playing a poor pass or missing the target? In his 26 appearances he was directly involved in 11 goals, 7 of those were in 3 games (Celtic 4-0, Aberdeen 2-0 and Hamilton 3-0) where as a team we played very well, that leaves 2 goals and 2 assists in the other 23 appearances with only one of the assists against a top 6 side (Killie). Do I think that he would contribute? Yes and I actually quite like him but his signing will not make or break our season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back to 2005 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Well he's certainly better than anyone else we have brought in over the summer. Surely better to pay for 1 quality player than 3 or 4 journeyman types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E3OBE Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 With the deal dead for Milinkovic and if we can’t get Naismith..

Bighenry Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Hope we still end up signing him but not if he costs a fortune.

Are folk actually saying that he didn't get into really good positions before playing a poor pass or missing the target? Of course his decision making could be better, and yes he played some poor passes or sometimes missed the target. If he was a lot better at these things he'd be in the English Premier (although he'd probably still have people saying he's not perfect). For our league though, he was frequently an effective operator. Quote In his 26 appearances he was directly involved in 11 goals, 7 of those were in 3 games (Celtic 4-0, Aberdeen 2-0 and Hamilton 3-0) where as a team we played very well, that leaves 2 goals and 2 assists in the other 23 appearances with only one of the assists against a top 6 side (Killie). 14 starts, total of 24 appearances. For minutes played, his stats are pretty good. Not sensational, but pretty good. And stats don't tell the whole story - he had skill, but also an energy and attitude that clearly endeared him to a lot of fans.
