Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 9 minutes ago, Homme said: Washington is going nowhere IMO. Winger for me, where he seems to do his bit for NI. Boyce at CF, Washington and him with Naismith in behind could be very good, well they were yesterday. I'm more Henderson than Moore I have to say. Moore is doing well, but lacks a wee bit for me. Any decent cash for Smith would be hard to ignore, amazed (actually I'm not) at the full 180 on Clare v Smith sort of thing. Truth is Shaun has not become a world beater overnight and if Smith stays he is hugely important to us, and still as a right back I'd say. I hope we retire the LB position, simply a curse, we have used 5 in the last 3 games now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a few must be leaving first?! If Boyce or Naismith picked up an injury we’d be exposed again..

We've got loads of options imo...in the main, they aren't very good (or at least haven't been up to now). I'm all for us signing more forwards who are better .

Seriously looking back over the last year under Levein you really wonder how we expected to win games. The attributes Stendel appears to be looking for in players are pace, tenacity and work rate (I think ability is a given). This means a lot of players MacLean, Walker for example are likely on a shoogely peg. Edited January 27, 2020 by LarrysRightFoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just surprised we are able to go sign another forward given the amount we already have and would have assumed we needed to get a couple out the door first. We also need midfielders and defenders so I'm guessing our budget must look pretty rosey. Roll on the transfers!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3fingersreid Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 The Smith rumour , could it be stoke that he’s heading for ? if he is moving it might be the reason he wasn’t made captain like a lot of us thought he would .

Juho_Makela_Goal_Machine Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Is there anything more than a hunch concerning these michael smith rumours? Cant seem to find anything anywhere about interest or an offer. Would be a massive loss as he has been our most consistent player for several seasonsbut we are a selling club and if we get the fee mentioned its great business. Would need replaced before the window shuts id imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was full of energy and a real hand full when he came on. Helped us hold up the ball and keep possession, created the chance for Washington that was cleared off the line, even stayed on his feet. Another vastly improved under Stendel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_T Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 If as suggested we have been offered £900,000 for a player in Michael Smith, who is 32 in September, I think it's very difficult for the club to turn that down. It's also the players' last chance for a big contract. Much as I'd hate to see him go, from a financial perspective it probably makes sense for all parties.
