Why would he suddenly be the best full back in the country playing for us in the championship when he wasn’t anything like that playing for a team with a wildly bigger budget than every team bar one that was expected to win every game (pretty much) easily? There’s absolutely no logic to these types of posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Boy Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 The Halliday chat reminds me of a personal stereo dilemma, I had when I was 12/13. I wanted one for my birthday, but I could have got a Sony Walkman and that was it, or an AIWA personal stereo (all the same parts as a Walkman and made by Sony) and a couple of tapes to go with it. I went for the AIWA and had no regrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 7 hours ago, Gorillajam said: We are looking a lot more balanced and have removed some of the deadwood but we are not a top 6 side in the SPL. Aberdeen, Motherwell, Killie and the scum across the road currently have stronger teams. Too many "big names on paper" players haven't been producing the goods for us. Haring is only just returning to football after nearly 20 months out. I think we will walk the Championship this season however the current squad would finish 7th or 8th in the SPL or at best be vying for that 6th spot. We have a few good individual players that are top 6 quality but the majority of the squad needs improved if we have aspirations to compete in the top 6 next season. It’s a better squad than Robbie got into the top 6 last time he was here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StirlingJambo Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 2 hours ago, BackOfTheNet said: I am no way ITK but people talking about Kingsley, Halliday and Stewart and talking nonsense. Kingsley the only one with any merit. Stewart will be off to England for much more money than we can provide (even with Hickey money) and Neilson might want another striker but he’s not going to break the bank considering who we already have at the club. And the Halliday chat really needs to stop. Aye he said Tynecastle has a good atmosphere on Si Ferry, why people let that cloud their judgement on a distinctly average player at best is beyond me. And before anyone starts with “he’s exactly they sort of midfielder we need in the Championship” that’s utter tripe. We strolled it last time with Gomis and Bauben, players comfortable on the ball and winning possession, not just hackers and people that run around like headless chickens that for some reason people applaud as good honest Scottish laddie effort. Give it a rest with that Halliday chat, honestly. You said players like Gomis and Bauben who can win possession. Something that Halliday does and something we don’t have at the moment if I’m honest. Agree there is better players out there but would be a no bad option to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoGwash Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 2 hours ago, wavydavy said: Not sure where you get the too big from. Robbie has moved on far more players than he has brought in. If you had said this last season then I would agree with you. When you have players such as Souttar, Berra, Naismith, Walker and Haring who would be regular starters if fit then with their injury history you have to have cover for them. A post earlier basically listed 2 full teams and didn't include at least half a dozen youngsters with 1st team experience such as Henderson, Smith, Cochrane etc. By all means we can debate the quality but IMO having too large a squad leads to discontent and morale issues as has been seen over the past couple of years. This season will be worse with less games and no reserve league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch41 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Just what I wanted a Left Back on the radar. Now Robbie a Centre Back, a Midfielder & a Striker.

BigAlim Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 If we're looking to bring a left back in, i assume we're looking to move one out. I would rather we kept Garuccio over White personally, neither will play most weeks however i don't see the use in having a back up left back who can't play 90 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Jamie Brandon play at LB? 🤷🏼♂️ I have always been a supporter of the larger clubs being able to go into a relationship with a lower league club on a feeder basis. Currently SFA/SPFL restrict the number of players that can be loaned out. If the SFA/SPFL are not keen on "B" teams playing in the league like in Europe then why not have feeder teams like with American baseball franchises. Why are Hearts restricted to the number of players loaned out to East Fife? Last season ICT loaned 6 players to lowly Fort William while Hearts has to loan young players piecemeal all over the place. Was Adam Eckersley (replacing Gary Naysmith) as our last proper LB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that Halliday does and something we don’t have at the moment if I’m honest. Agree there is better players out there but would be a no bad option to have. They won possession through positioning and interceptions. From what I’ve seen of Halliday he doesn’t win possession well or subtly at any rate. He’s a sending off waiting to happen. We don’t need him to win the Championship, we don’t need any “tough tackler” to do it as we didn’t last time, and when we go up he’ll be in his 30’s and not good enough for that league (as proven by the fact he’s been without a club for 4 months). He’d also command too much in wages for the level we’re at and more importantly the level he’s at. Because he’s terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamhammer Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 4 hours ago, HoGwash said: I know it goes against the grain a bit but I worry that the squad is too big and that this is never good for morale as well as making it tougher for the young guys to break through and prove themselves. We currently have enough players for at least 2 and a half teams for a maximum 27 game league season so I hope we stick to the 1 out, 1 in philosophy and don't keep increasing our numbers. In centre mid we currently have Haring, Lee, Damour and Irving, with Cochrane and Connor Smith as backup. Walker and Naismith can also play in there so we have sufficient numbers. Therefore moving guys on is still a priority for me before adding to the squad. Agree we have the numbers but I’d be concerned relying on Peter Haring injury wise and Lee isn’t the quickest We could do with legs in there and competition for places.
