People saying he only played X number of games in Belgium need to remember how hard moving abroad was for a young lad last season in the pandemic. I know a guy who did so for pro rugby and it's a very tough life during lockdown etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasquale for King Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hopefully he doesn’t judge us on the comments around our social media or the inability to spell his Scottish name, considering we’ve been discussing his distant cousin for the last 3 years.

Why not give someone in our academy the chance to step up, or are they not good enough? he's playing 352, with Halliday being our best option as wingback. I don't understand this signing just my opinion but. Yeah yeah, and wasn't having a go. We just need to see the lad. I don't know Leo Watson, but at the end of the day if you can sign someone better than who you have, you do it. So until we see the kid play, we hope he's better than any other options we have in his positions. Don't really know what else needs said. Not sure I understand how it benefits our rivals?

Should say a lot about his character considering moving abroad during the pandemic must’ve been for him. Hopefully a wee master stroke getting him on board.

Not worried about Cochrane as a player as I don’t know anything about him or his play to worry me about him. I am worried that his signing would mean Halliday is seen primarily as a central midfielder. In the Premiership we should have Halliday nowhere near the midfield first XI.

If he’s signing Cochrane he obviously doesn’t believe the academy lads are ready for the demands of first team football at the highest level in the country.

I don't understand this signing just my opinion but. I can see your thinking, he has a great season with us, Brighton give him another year, Hibs get first dibs on him and sign him on loan. But it misses out a few vital things. If Brighton are looking to develop him into a first team player for Brighton, there is little point if they give him an extended contract sending back to the same league he played before and sending him not to the club he did well before but another one. If Brighton want to make money on him, what they want is him to do well, give him another year contract and sell him to a Championship club who will pay a few million for him. If Hibs get millions for Doig and pay a fee for Cochrane, then it doesn't matter if we had him in on loan or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wavydavy Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 52 minutes ago, jambonian said: Yet Andy Halliday seemed to play his better stuff wide left of a back three so this is a strange signing. Nothing against the boy but a centre-half is desperately needed and should be prioritized. This would suggest to me that Neilson wants to return to his favoured defensive formation (Halliday in the middle) rather than the 3-5-2 we ended the season on. Hmm! Give the transfer window a chance before jumping to conclusions. We may well be about to sign a centre back. AS has been said on here lots the English Clubs tend to have contracts until 30 June so there may well be activity in the next week. For me Halliday slows the game down too much and can see the benefit of a young lad playing wing back. I don't know what Robbie's plans are for Halliday but we will find out once all the trnasfer dealings are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
