Hard to get too enthusiastic with the amount of dross we've signed over the last 5 seasons. Take your attitude elsewhere mate, this is Kickback. We get all orgasmic over a new signing we've never heard of. Debut tomorrow night hopefully, then we can all groan in unison when he falls over the ball with his first touch. I feel good about this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregzy2k7 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Wow! That came out of the blue, Interesting signing, Boy looks to be a decent player from the clips (touch wood), I hope he does well for us and can do the job we need him to do. Wonder what happened with Adebayo? I really hope that we are still bringing in a centre half in this window though! That's the main problem area in the team for me, Box to Box midfielder would be great too as we are lacking urgency and drive in the midfield, It might be hard to get a player like that in January though unless we are paying a transfer fee.

weegie jambo Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 27 minutes ago, No Idle Talk said: It's rarely wise to judge a player based on a Youtube video but from the videos I watched of him this afternoon, two things immediately jumped out: 1. He's a big lad and good in the air 2. He's a good penalty taker Two good attributes for a centre forward to have. You can see that the things Robbie Neilson was talking about a few weeks back are now beginning to take shape. He has a ball player in the middle of the park(Irving), two capable wingers(Ginnelly and GMS), a target man type striker(Gnanduillet), and a goalscorer(Boyce). He also has a good goalkeeper and two good full backs. So he can't be far away now from having a starting XI that allows him to play the style of football he has in his mind. Hopefully we'll see that begin to come together in the coming weeks. I've watched over 4 YouTube videos today and he seems to be a pretty complete player. Fast, good in the air, scores all sorts of goals, tap ins, headers, overhead kicks and seems to have a good shot on him. I like the look of him.

Good to see all panel ripping up the United rep, ex board member, who believed government should provide grants to United and others to bail them out. He reckoned they should be rewarded for speculating to accumulate, despite paying full wages with no cuts until this month. United wage bill of over £4million a year and trying to sign new players, yet he wants grants, not loans to club. Arseholes like him are why clubs go bust, and hopefully, that is what will happen to these duds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel we might have moved on now. I wonder if the noise about Adebayo being our first choice and us wanting to push it over the line now was slight gamesmanship with the lad we signed. Readding between the lines the lad we signed was our preferred choice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 It is always uplifting to add a new striker to the squad. I hope he can keep his Blackpool form going in Maroon. Tall, mobile strikers are what we need, not just target men but also good movers in and outside the box. Potentially a good addition to take some pressure off Boyce and make him lift his game too.

I suspect that the Adebayo deal may have fell through due to the new FIFA rule that Hearts would have to pay a 6 figure development fee. Apparently the age limit for the development fee has been increased to 23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last nights Man U Liverpool game should be mandatory watching for all our midfield players. Under pressure all of the ManU players funnelled back. Contrast that with our midfield.
