Bazzas right boot Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) We already have too many players on the books.

Brighton Jambo Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 He’s simply not very good. Why does this keep coming up. He had maybe two good games for us in his loan spell and wasn’t even the best player in a rank rotten team. This would be going backwards.

jambo19 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Better than Mulraney, Moore and Morrison ? Fitter than Walker? More attacking threat than Clare ? No brainer really but we would need to move some on to make space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 If wasn't very good he wouldn't have got a move to Hull. Unlike us, Hull have much greater resources, so even their 'punts' are well researched. I'd 100% take him back, even on loan. He has the sort of impact we need in games. Especially with Walker out and Naismiths fitness up in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambonian Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Not really much point in signing him again. Remember last time Levein was always reluctant to play him, particularly away from home so he'd just be a drain on wages if he returned. He was also a little bit too creative in a free spirit kind of way, making up his own mind to do what he wants on the pitch, switching sides, getting forward and not noticing team mates to pass to. That's great if you have that belief, which he did, but there were a few occasions I watched the coaches shouting and bawling at him because he dared to get stuck in and float about anywhere on the pitch. Nothing wrong with his workrate to be fair, likes to get stuck in and go against the grain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) He just didn't do it for me during his first spell here, and I'd prefer us to be looking elsewhere if the requirement is to bring in a wide player. I've watched Hull on TV a few times and while he didn't do it at Tynecastle in my opinion I think he has been even less successful down there. Lets not create a situation where we bring back someone for no other reason than he may be available, the main reason for anyone coming in should be that he will make us better and in this case I don't think that applies (and I say that while accepting we've not been good out wide recently).

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I would take him back but suspect Meshino has the space. Sometimes the European players don't fancy our League but Milinkovic did and performed against the better sides. Probably a safer bet than the Japanese player.

JamboAl Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) I would take him and with Lee possibly moving out that shouldn't have any marked difference on the budget although I'm maybe overthinking when I say that He is free to leave does not necessarily mean that he can leave for free.

kila Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I'd take him back, low salary with a performance/appearance bonus.

Captain Canada Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I'd definitely bring him back. He's unpredictable and has an eye for goal. IMO he's better than Walker, Mulraney, Morrison and Clare. If we were able to get Lee, Bozanic, Wighton and MacLean off the wage bill then it would make sense as he'd strengthen the starting lineup. I'm aware we can't just keep signing more without any leaving. I highly doubt Levein would even think about it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) So just a minute. Someone on here actually has the temerity to suggest that a Levein wouldn’t sign a player like Milinkovic, despite Levein having signed the exact same player before? **** me that takes on a special kind of mental hospital derangement disease. He might not sign him again because the player and his agent completely ****ed us over and proved that they had no loyalty to the club, fans or manager however, but it would take a huge dose of creative thinking to blame Levein for that. Although that is quite possible. Edited August 28, 2019 by Tom Hardy’s Dug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackney Hearts Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 He has benefited hugely from being a major part of one of our most famous performances of recent years (The 4-0 Versus Celtic) - without that, his status in our collective memories would be greatly diminished.

Bozi Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I liked his energy but it was all over the place, he had skill but no game awareness, he would get stuck in but be wildly out of position, would often see Austin going batshit mental on the touchline trying to get him back into position.
