Strange one like. Would take Shankland though, if the price is right. Clearly has an eye for goal and I think if he could get some decent service and get the ball at his feet in the box, he'll score goals. Tam Courts. Used to manage Kelty Hearts before Barry Ferguson. Left Kelty and took up the position of ‘academy head of tactical performance’ at United. Edited May 28, 2021 by The_razors_edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he would be a different option to Boyce and Gnando and the 3 of them are all different so could work in many ways depending on the situation.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 5 minutes ago, Barack said: I'd be pretty confident there are at least ten players down South irrespective of their nationalities, that are cheaper & of the same standard as Campbell. Many people only cast their nets into the wee Scottish goldfish bowl (and no, I'm not inferring yourself). Savage can scout the lost tribes of the Amazon for all I care. He lives & dies by what he brings in, along with Neilson. It's a huge window for them. Savage in particular, with the fanfare and pretty much broad agreement in his appointment as a good, forward thinking one. As I've said, I'm really not bothered if he signs or not. But unless Anderson pays for it, or we punt Irving, Damour, & Roberts off the bill, then Hearts won't be paying the type of development fee Motherwell will ask. They've got all the cards. Hearts aren't the big fish these days, despite what some would like to believe.* *Cretins on Facebook & Twitter usually. There might be 10 better, they wont be cheaper though.

If a club has a player worth buying should we just not bother and let our rivals sign them up? The club have already shown they will help other clubs. It doesn’t mean we can’t do it as fans. There are a lot of players out there, some we could’ve spoken to in January to be ***** and derail a teams season for instance. I would like us to do that but it’s obvious the club won’t. We should only be spending money on players we can help progress and sell on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingantti1874 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 So to sum up This thread. We donn’t want young up and coming talent like hendry or Turner who with a bit of luck could turn into the next McGinn or Ferguson. We also don’t want top quality players like Snodgrass towards the back end of career. (Who bet was very very good for West Ham as little as a year ago) This place man. It’s one or the other and I have my own preference BUT we aren’t getting top quality / finished article players in the prime of their career. sooner folk accept that the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byyy The Light Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 2 hours ago, Smith's right boot said: Agree, still say the only player that stood out in each game I watched in the Championship was that Vaughn for Raith. Obviously we overran them a few times, but he looked quick, good touch, a bit of vision and could go past a player and drive forward. Stood out in the other odd Raith Game i caught as well. Maybe too light weight or not right mentality for higher level, but he looked like he had good technique and awareness. I’m pretty sure Vaughn has done his cruciate twice which is why he’s found himself where he is. Very unlucky in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
