Bazzas right boot Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Boy was murder, no where near technically good enough. Poor first touch, decision making and passing. Good attitude and fit, tho.

Brighton Jambo Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Good right back cover for Smith. Definitely better than Godinho or Brandon. Gets the club.

frankblack Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 He wasn't a regular for us when here on loan so at best would only be cover for injuries, which we have had a lot of at RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Was proving his worth towards the end of his first spell with us. A better player and option than Godinho or Brandon.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Quite average, but every club needs a hard working utility man. Potentially he could be a long term servant for Hearts, Robbie Neilson was the player most of us compared Randall to. Never looked likely he would cut it at a higher level but he is a fighter and a hard worker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) He'd be a solid signing, but I've got to say, what hope is that meant to give Brandon & Godinho? Both are good enough to play at this level, signing players in when we've got adequate cover seems wasteful and not exactly encouraging for our youngsters. To be clear, i'm not saying it would be a bad signing. Randall played well in his time here, I liked his tenacity. I just think in the context of being a club with an onus on youth development its not something I'm massively enthusiastic about. However, I suspect coming from Liverpool he'll be an absolute professional in regards to training, diet etc. which appears to be something which Scottish lads struggle with going by some of the snippets that come out every so often. So could be a good influence in that regard. Edited June 9, 2019 by OTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m all for youth development but sometimes you need to call a spade a spade. 16 y/o Aaron Hickey is already ahead of both. Yeah, I could kinda see that point of view when I was typing it Brandon hasn't built on his initial season but thats largely down to injuries. Godinho, is perhaps the weaker of the two given age. I'm just worried about the message it sends. Celtic and the huns tend to be able to scoop up much of the talented youngsters, being able to offer a professional set up, but also a legitimate & genuine path to the first team (I imagine) would be a massive selling point to the youngsters, agents and parents. If we're signing young players from down south I think it might make that message harder to sell. Obviously, as you say, call a spade a spade. We can't be bringing through lads that just aren't going to cut it for the sake of PR, but nonetheless, I'd like to hope that every possible chance is given to our own kids internally before we go pushing them down the pecking order.

RS86 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 This is bollocks. But Randall was decent for us I thought, although there's really not much between him, Brandon and Godinho and not a position we need to strengthen. From a cost perspective highly unlikely we'd sign him when we have the aforementioned too, and would most likely would command a higher wage than the other 2 as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I’d like us to find a right back who is good at going forward. Adding Randall(if true) to our current clutch of RBs doesn’t do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was rated by Levein and was still under contract with Liverpool. Free agent now though, so it removes the financial aspect of it. I'll assume CL also wanted to give Godinho and Brandon their chance this season and he's decided they're not up to it which then removes 2/3s of the competition aspect. Would feel better having Randall when Smith inevitably gets injured than MG or JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
