Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 McKay would be one that could go either way. Sometimes a light switch comes on in a player that age, but with others its just a chore. Would be in the middle category for me, no superstar but not there make up numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those players who could potentially make something happen out of nothing with his pace and ability to go by a man. We need more of this type of player so would be decent signing in my eyes. Maybe be a bit hot and cold but if we are being realistic this is the type of player we will be signing. If he produced week in, week out for Swansea or Forrest he would stay in the champ or get a bigger move. This. Not sure where he would fit in but then we’re not sure what system we’ll be playing and we’re not sure if he’s going to better than what we have until he pulls a jersey on in anger. Hopefully signing him wouldnt stop us getting the quality we need elsewhere because we’re quite well covered in midfield but he COULD be a good signing.

Would love to see him back, though its certainly true, Championship teams could outbid us, whether they wanted to is another question. I think Neilson will go abroad though, did it first time round think he will do it again, knows he can better value for that role I’m not sure if any of the guys he signed would be better value, none of them were last time. Add in how difficult it is to get a work permit for someone that’s better value also. Signing Dunne would be signing a foreigner from abroad in football terms .

Rossi did a good job for us, as did Ozturk for 2 seasons. Augustyn wasnt too bad though pretty old fashioned, these guys were good enough to have us top half. Would say Neilson actually did quite well in that area. Then I didnt think Kitchen was a bad signing either, pretty decent player to have when you needed to defend a bit more, not so useful when attacking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 McKay is fantasy land if you can get him playing. Scotland call ups etc he has alot of talent. Hope it happens.

It was rumoured he was on nearer £4.5-5k at Burnley. With the amount of wages saved by getting rid of the deadwood at Hearts, his wage wouldn't have been an unrealistic option. I'd rather we'd have signed 3 quality players on £5k a week each than the same amount combined being wasted on quite a few squad-fillers. Not that it matters anyway. He'd be far too ambitious a signing for us, unfortunately. I like the term speculate to accumulate. We won't be accumulating much money in future transfer fees.
