BackOfTheNet Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 The early announcement does also make me wonder. But maybe the social media team are on a half day or have a wedding to get to or something. Could be reading something into nothing. But you do think there may be more. I’m with Barack, may be a shite sandwich day, start with Smith, then Souttar being sold to them, then maybe a Haring extension or something.

Rocky jamboa Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Good news re Smith. Although likely to only be back up for Atkinson/cover for centre back/defensive midfield, he's a competent and reliable squad player to have around and deserves an extension alone for his consistency over his time with us. Hopefully big Pete next then a new signing or two 🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegreatsd Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 So far we are making some great moves. Good to see Smith signing an extension as he’s a solid very steady player for us and can be utilised in various positions. Never lets us down. It’s good to see we have addressed the ‘all of our defence out of contract at the same time’ problem as well. Good forward planning as the three contract extensions of defenders are a year apart. Exciting to see what else happens today as it feels like some more announcements will be made. Just a gut feeling and in no way ITK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that Hearts' defense that you're slagging off? The team that's shipped the 3rd fewest goals thus far; 18 as opposed to Hibs' 22, Aberdeen's 24, Motherwell's 27, and Dundee's 37? Perhaps you could wow us all with your infinite wisdom and give an example of any team whose goals against is as good and whose defense is so good that they're content to employ a rubbish 'keeper. After all, by your weird logic Gordon ain't part of our defense and we shouldn't need such a good 'un. Liverpool are currently 3rd in the EPL having shipped 18 goals. Do you think that stat has nowt to do with their 'keeper? Or, to put it another way, is their defending also rubbish? Nah, you're quite correct. We should defend better and save a few bob by ditching Gordon and re-employing Pereira. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see a signing until end of next week at the earliest. We usually have something in the media, so unless it’s the guy from Japan that has basically been all but quashed since it became a story, any signing would be completely out of the blue. And there’s usually local media from the selling club at least who have something 24-48 hours before anything happens, despite the lack of leaks on our end.

He has been a very consistent player for us too, would be delighted if we could get him on a permanent too, that would pretty much mean only 1 change in our defense now, with he who shall not be named going to iBrokes very shortly, continuanty breeds a winning mentality imo if we could just find a gem of a RCH then we could potentially end this window even stronger than we started it. I'd like to see us sign Cochrane permanently as well as he's been one of our best and most consistent players this season. However, I wonder if Kingsley will move back to left back next season as we've only really moved him to left centre half to accommodate Cochrane. The club might feel there's no point in having 2 good left backs. Hope that's not the case though as Kingsley and Cochrane link up well together.

Earlier in the season I was thinking he should go by the end of the season, but considering how he does in a number positions he is very useful to have around.
