He chipped in with some decent goals and assists during his time with us and I thought he was gradually getting a lot better the more game time he was given. We aren’t exactly loaded with quality.... No you are bang on the money. Halkett, Souttar, Naismith, Walker, Washington, Whelan and Damour are all very very poor players. We need the quality of Milinkovic who can't get a game in a bottom end Championship team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that’s just it. I would argue on paper, this is our best squad since 06. Of course, football isn’t played on paper. Skinny would be a good option to have. But no matter who we sign, the main issue(in my opinion), being the first team management, remains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagan Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 32 minutes ago, mitch41 said: Milinkovic is talented and did improve with us and the thing i liked about him was he always wanted the ball and could keep possession until he passed it on or crossed it. I think a lot to do with him getting better was he was getting fitter the more he played. He also liked a run with the ball and more importantly, he could score a goal! Something we've been lacking for a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I just thought the guy brought composure and a touch of quality in possession. He was unpredictable for full backs too. We could do with more brain in the team instead of the clamour for more pace all over the place. Milinkovic was hardly slow anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often the case with loan deals. Hopefully we will be looking to either extend his loan or make it a permanent move and then we will have freed up a wage.

I don't suppose Milinkovic would be interested in a short term deal. Could be win win. I've got mixed feelings about him. I remember some of the stupid decision making and offsides. But then the Celtic game pops in to my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canada Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Of course he has flaws, but I like being entertained at a game rather than bored out of my mind like I was against Ross County.

That is not the point. Milkinovic is a much better player than Mulraney for a start. Walker and Naismith are prone to injuries as we have already seen this season so nothing wrong with adding quality to the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm brutally honest Mort, even at 63.5 years old I believe I'm a better wide player than Mulraney. In terms of actually signing anyone I'd think while we should be looking at better than Mulraney I also think we should be looking at better than Milinkovic, and I don't think it needs to cost us a fortune. We don't need someone who performs maybe once or twice, but at the same time we don't need someone who is the best winger on the planet, we just need someone who can perform to a sufficiently decent level regularly.

Getting offered more money by Hull and taking it is hardly thinking your better than us. I’d imagine most folk on here slagging him off for choosing hull over us would have done exactly the same thing in his situation. Its no that he thinks he's better, which he does actaully Its the fact he kissed the badge several times, stated he loved Hearts, wanted to move here etc. Then we negotiate with Genoa and agree deal then he goes for Hull City where he's never played any real game time. He's a snake in my book. Acts up to the fans and says and does what he expects they want. You'll disagree. Thats fine. For me no thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tian447 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Milinkovic was genuinely my favourite player since Rudi Skacel. Maybe it's just there was a hole that needed to be filled, and they're nowhere near the same level - but since then, he's easily been my highest rated favourite player - I really thought he was a great player who I would have loved to sign on a permanent basis. He chased the money, which all of us would do given half a chance. I loved my old job but it didn't stop me moving on to earn more money doing something at a higher level. I don't blame him for what he did, even slightly, but if he was to come back, I wouldn't even give it a second thought! Hope we get him, but we all know we won't.

RobNox Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I'm not one of the Clare haters, I genuinely hope the guy goes on to fulfil his potential with us. However, I'd have Milinkovic in the team for Clare any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me no thanks He did love the club but all he needed to do was play well for Hull and his life would have been made.How much he enjoyed playing here became irrelevant. You can hardly blame him for trying to better himself. Our most dangerous player and he was left out of a trip to Ibrox so not considered that important in Levein's eyes at the time. Think I know what most people would have done if they were being honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauldrick Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Don't know what all the fuss about Milinkovic is about, he looked a pretty average player to me in his time with us, he's done nothing to enhance his reputation in England, so why sign yet another average player? I'd rather give a youngster a chance if we can't afford a quality winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi must stay Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Wouldn't be desperate to sign him but if he wants to return bring him in in my opinion. When he's up for it he's a player you want in your team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
