Shaggy2 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I know there’s another thread somewhere but just read on Twitter he’s signed a pre-contract with Aberdeen. Missed a trick there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

number-16 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 He's probably seen most of his ex-Killie teammates go to Hearts and fancied something a wee bit different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavman81 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 This appears like another missed opportunity although I’m sure Hearts are working aproind the clock to sign the pace, creativity, midfield and width we’ve needed since 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenNaismith Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Shame we are trying so hard to keep Djoum as I believe Bryson would’ve come here. Can’t afford both though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodami Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Can't say I'm overly bothered about this to be honest. He's a reasonably decent player but I would rather we signed someone younger in an area like midfield, it's pace that we really need in there. What I would say is the indecision surrounding Djoum is not really helping matters at the minute, they need to make a call there so we can make plans for the new season.

Selkirkhmfc1874 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Pity , was hoping we'd have got him but he's gone to Aberdeen now so he's irrelevant as far as I'm concerned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hoped he was Hearts bound. Might have been if we weren't waiting with bated breath for Djoum to make a decision. As someone posted on another thread Djoum will be offski at the first decent offer and we'll end up with a replacement inferior to both.

Phil Dunphy Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I’d have had him in my midfield over Djoum. Hopefully our decision to let him mull over his options while others are doing their business doesn’t come back and bite us in the arse.

innerjambo Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 We need to be making the decision on Djoum, not him making a decision on us. The clock is ticking, and pre-season training is on the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it certainly seems to be a huge second blow to the club after losing out on Mallan last year, who based on scoring quite a good goal when he was 18 was going to tear up the league for Hibs, and definitely not be a field goal kicker who disappeared after October.

Debut 4 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Honestly don’t think we’ll see much change to the midfield. Only a replacement for Djoum if he goes. We’ll be sticking by who we signed last year to see if they improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
