All roads lead to Gorgie Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 1 minute ago, Cruyff said: He is good in the box. He played most of his career as a striker until he went to Clyde. I remember him scoring against u playing upfront for Rangers in the Scottish youth Cup final. He's always been good in the opposition box. Doesn't seem to win headers facing the other way. 🤷 He looks like he has bulked up to play centre half, I hope it is just muscle but I have my doubts about that after he came back from injury. If he could get a bit leaner again I could see a potential centre forward emerging again. Not sure if he has a good enough first touch though.

Rick Sanchez Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 O'Donnell would be a great replacement for Smith. Sell Smith for 300k-500k, give O'Donnell a decent sign on fee on a four year deal and we're fine at right back for the next 3 years. O'Donnell would be the perfect foil for Clare to concentrate on attacking. And before people start getting on at me, I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge that Smith wants away, if not I'm happy with him. I expect O'Donnell at Aberdeen or Hibs on Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasquale for King Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 1 hour ago, Whatsthefuture said: The strength of Stephen O’Donnell when playing against a Hearts last season was like men and boys. Very strong in terms of an SPFL player. In listening to him today certainly does not sound like he has anything certain. Waiting to start training with a Hamilton as a stop gap Is a bit weird but I haven’t watched him that much in games, is he a poor defender maybe? He certainly knows where the goals are and would be a good signing for us, depending on what happens with Smith if he goes or plays CH.

If I knew how, I'd make a video showing how shite he is. One of the worst centerhalfs I've ever seen in a Maroon Jersey. Everything he does defensively is piss poor. Agree completely. The guy is murder, hopefully some team come in with a foolish offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Camazzola Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Is Jackson Irvine still unattached since leaving Hull?

While I appreciate Nicholson is a free agent RN was quite up front in saying that he would speak to him and see where it led. If Nicholson signs on elsewhere it would be good to hear whether any discussion did take place. Doesn’t need to be any great detail. If newspapers are printing inaccurate stories then I’d be happy for the club to publicly correct them on it. It would at least give the fans some idea of who we can and commit trust. So I’m led to believe my desire for a refreshing change might have come true and RN rubbished the rumours we made a bid for Nisbet on Sportsound apparently.
