Section Q Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I see some on here linking him to Dundee Utd. Surely he must have other choices. Wonder if Levein is interested. https://www.nottheoldfirm.com/columnist/former-dundee-united-and-hibernian-man-ryan-gauld-reportedly-told-he-can-leave-sporting/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brunoatemyhamster Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 This has got CL written all over it. I dlove to see him settle at one place and see what he could do. Worth a punt for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToqueJambo Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Yes please. Very much still a punt on a promising player who has stalled but more chance of being in the souttar than wighton (so far) category IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Apparently there is a Portuguese team, Banderson tweeted it. They finished 6th last season. I'd love us to nab him because I think with consistent football and familiarity he could really kick on. Apparently he really likes it out there though. I suppose you have to be in it to win it though, and Levein should absolutely be contacting him to see if something can be worked out.

StevenNaismith Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Not seen much of him since he first left United but saw lots of him as a youth. He was head and shoulders above anyone in his age group in the country. Very much a player who needs an arm around the shoulder. I think he would flourish under Craig.

Don Dan Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Certainly worth giving him a chance to improve. We have the coaching staff (not the scouting staff) who could maybe bring the best out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byyy The Light Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Was bang average centrally when playing for Scotland U21 at Tynecastle a few years back. First and only time I have seen him in person and was very underwhelmed. Did nothing at Hibs as far as I’m aware. Would be signing on reputation alone.

TheBigO Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Heard he wanted to come to us in Jan but CL wasn't interested. Not sure what to make of that if true tbh. I'd like us to take him I think, but then is it a straight toss between him and Walker? Would he get in the way of maybe Connor Smith's emergence?

allanwilson1970 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Would not go near him, I would prefer we give our youngsters a decent run of games to see if they can step up. On another thread a guy made a great point. Until McDonald and Smith etc are given a run of games it will be difficult for them as dipping them in and out does not help consistency. Surely for all of us we rather see those 2 getting a good chance and run in the team than bringing in Gauld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A wehatethehibs Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 He knows Portugal, hopefully he can still be a success there if he can get signed and get a regular game. I don’t think coming back to Scotland would work out too well for him, other than maybe Dundee United. He did nothing at Hibs. Sporting is a big club in world football, you have to be excellent to get in their team ahead of the dozens of phenomenal Brazilians queueing up to sign for them. Good luck to him getting his career going. Let’s be honest, could be a retirement job though, he’s had his big football payday and achieved very little.

boag1874 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Crazy to think on his big breakthrough season the top 2 players in Scottish football were probably Him & Stevie May.

If a club spends £4m on a transfer fee then the wages will be good, much better than Scottish Prem. Plucking a number out of the air I would say he would be on at least £10k per week. If we lose Djoum and Lee I would take a gamble on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have been on a decent weekly wage but I imagine the contract would have been structured so that the big money would arrive when he made the first team but that didn't happen. In my opinion he spent far too long playing almost non competitive football, genuinely think he'd have been better off in the long run staying in Scotland.

Probably true but I think it was worth the gamble for him especially the life experience. Compare to someone like Scott Allan who sat on the bench for Celtic for nearly 3 years and is now 27 having played 1 full season of football. At 23 Gauls still has time to develop, he has ability but work rate and game management are the areas he needs to work on to push on.

martoon Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Tbh, I don't think I was that aware of him until he was Portugal bound.
