Footballfirst Posted May 14 He was doing some running and ball work with one of the physios/sports scientists on Saturday morning when I was watching an academy game on an adjacent pitch. The first team squad were working separately doing a light session after Friday night's game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

letsalldothebeattie Posted May 14 Will be interesting to see where he figures into things going forward. Clearly not fit yet Levein rates Hickey very highly and only Burns the other option at LB. Never seen White play but I’d rather we stuck our faith in the younger lads now. Give Hickey the chance. Have Berra guide him through games the boy will learn more that way than playing reserve games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clouston1992 Posted May 14 He is a signing for next season, Levein knows it’ll take time which is why it was finalised before the end of the season so he has longer to get up to scratch before a full blown pre-season. He was never going to feature this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bauld Posted May 14 I thought he was here with a view to playing next season not this? He's not played in 2 years. It's going to be a brutal summer for him before he's ready to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indianajones Posted May 14 Some of the decisions at our club are genuinely mental. I hope this works out and we get a class player from it but I'm kind of sick of being the 'daycare' club to take in 'second chance' footballers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you list the 'second chance' players you're referring to? Just wondering Does Naismith not fall into that category, he's doing ok?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Gio Posted May 14 White was originally very well thought of Leeds, as a left back then into a more modern wing back, before really losing his way a bit, becoming a bit of square peg in a round hole. If he got back to his formative days, he could be very useful for us, but that is a big if. Would do well to keep him out of the spotlight until he has had plenty of game time, preseason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jammy T Posted May 14 I’m sure his wage is weighted accordingly. We are potentially saving his career. That is worth something to a player who wants his career saved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Canada Posted May 14 Hopefully he'll do well next season. It's definitely a risk, especially with our injury record this season. Signing players who aren't injured hasn't worked out well for us either in terms of Amankwaa and Vanecek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would do well to keep him out of the spotlight until he has had plenty of game time, preseason I think there is no doubt that he is/was a very good player. Injuries have stalled his career, but if, as is reported, these injury problems are behind him now, we have potentially signed a very good player for a relatively modest outlay.

Would imagine very basic salary with some kind of appearance bonus so low risk for us but worthwhile to him if it works out. Hoping he ends up being a good signing for us but had the same optimism for El Has, Oshaniwa and Kenny Anderson. Do any of them even still play professionally?
