Morgaro Gomis Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) 19 minutes ago, Sir Gio said: Bit of revision and disrespectful. Out of interest how many of the appearances are as a starter and a sub? Great player when available, haven't noticed any posts argue against quality According to Transfermark, he started 11 games and came off the bench in 13 last season before the MLS was curtailed. Played a total of 1,226 minutes which averages at just over 50 minutes per game. I get the point you’re making, but I don’t think fitness has been an issue for him recently. Only lengthy injury he had recently seems to be at Aberdeen in the 18/19 season. Edited January 8, 2021 by Morgaro Gomis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Averaging low minutes at New York, around 45, but no clue whether that was injury or selection issues. May actually help him moving forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on and there are a couple I'd add to keep as squad players too. Add Haring to your list too. White, Brandon, Wighton I'd keep around for the squad/bench, if they're happy to know their game time will depend on injuries etc. Then there's Stone, Hamilton, Flatman, Logan, Cochrane, Smith and McGill all of whom may have varying chances of being in 1st team squad. To me that means we need one or 2 CHs, a box to box CM and prob a CF and we're sorted! Easy this game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no nucleus to build on. We are just going through the same old shit - fill gaps one season, fill again the next ad infinitum. No structure, no stability no reliability. Not only have we seen about 20 different people wear the armband at one stage or another the past 5 years we are seeing ridiculous turnovers in each position. The lack of thought in all these 'comfort' singings is scandelous. Nah, get 18 good months out of him - perhaps another year on top of that - then he moves on with our good wishes.

Damour has offers ideally we will be looking for it to be permanent but listening to loan offers (basically anyway to get him out of here) same situation with Bobby that’s 2 big wages we want to be saving. Moved into further talks with a few players on the target list still aiming for one before Dunfermline whether that’s possible remains to be seen 👍🏻Have a good weekend and hopefully a signing to make it better Knew there was life in GMS deal but not that much wow, great signing massive upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bajthejambo Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 If we are to bring players in this window, then GMS certainly fits the profile. The only reason I have to be cautious is that usually when Aberdeen and ourselves (and even Hibs) battle it out for a player's signature, the team that misses out rarely lives to regret it.

jamboinglasgow Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Pleased with this, a great player. The good thing is that he is a tricky skillful player and those players can still keep that part of game even when their pace is going down with age.

5jambo1 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Knows Scottish football and also been a top performer in Scotland where he made his name. Also signed for next year, something I wasn’t sure would be possible. Should be a quality signing! Is a massive upgrade on what we have, imagine him one side and ginnelly on the other! Also throw in Boyce up top with Naismith in behind.... loads of goals there and arguably the best forward line outside the old firm. Tricky pacey winger, who can make something happen out of nothing is exactly what we need! Only down point is maybe consistency but if he performed at the level he can every game then there is no way he would end up at hearts!
