jamboinglasgow Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 6 minutes ago, MattyK82 said: The headline is very misleading, it makes it seem that we have offered him a contract when we haven't. What we have offered him is a chance to train with us and allow us to assess his fitness and then we may offer a contract. Have no problem with that as we are ensuring he is fully up to speed and at the same level and then sign him. Saying that we wanted to sign him in the summer but his injury was too bad so withdrew the offer. We signed Taylor Moore instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had hoped we were past the “project” stage. Fitted the bill prior to injury, enough so that we'd agreed terms with him after doing our homework. Not really required until next season either with Souttar still around. I see no harm in at least taking a look at him. Less of a gamble than White who'd been retired for 2 years IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had hoped we were past the “project” stage. "Project" surely refers to players like Jake Mulraney, who'd done nothing even at lower levels, but who was seen as someone who might have the attributes to improve. A misguided attempt to find another Martin Boyle. This guy seems to have been performing well at League One level - not that much worse than ours - when we initially tried to sign him. Looks like Preston also tried to sign him last January. I can see why there are Aidy White comparisons, but he hadn't kicked a ball for over 2 years before we signed him and was constantly picking up injuries before that. Not sure this guy's situation is nearly that dire and Boyce, Kingsley and Souttar have all had long-term injuries in the past but have performed for us. I won't be enthusiastic about signing him but there's not really any harm in having a look either, especially if it's an opportunity to pick up a decent player when their stock is low.

I had hoped we were past the “project” stage. I'm going to trust Savage, Neilson and Hearts on this one. They have obviously seen something in him pre-injury to have him lined up last year. Won't do any harm bringing him up here to see what his current fitness levels are. He's a decent age for a centre back and has a bit of height. Felt we missed that last night without Halkett in the side (and Haring). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Atkinson was down for a bit after that knee to the head, I genuinely was wracking my brain as to what we’d do. Would we bring Haring on and put him at the back and move Moore out to the right? Would we bring McEneff on the right? Couple of injuries to We had Smith, Halkett and Souttar unavailable and we were in a precarious position there for a bit. And we’ll have injuries and suspensions again before the season is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep agree... but here's the thing. For all the uglies multi-million pound players, we have a few that didn't cost anywhere near that amount. I mean, THESE players ARE out there, we don't need millions. Look at Beni, Cammy... even Sibbick. You can't tell me they're not as good as some of the OFs players. Who would you rather have at right back? Kingsley or Barasic!!!? My point is, for all their millions - if you have a clever recruitment team/process (and a good youth academy helps) - you don't have to be looking to spend vast amounts on oversees players... although it helps when it comes to wages! Fortunately, we seem to be getting these things right at last. The next 3-4 windows could see us getting closer to the uglies IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
