We obviously have Kingsley and Halliday who are comfortable at LB/LWB but I can’t see Neilson moving Kingsley there permanently when he has just got into the team of the year at CB so definitely a priority to get a new LB in. I know the loans tend to come towards the end of the transfer window but it’s good to see the club signing players on permanent deals to replace the likes of Woodburn, Moore and hopefully Cochrane. Will be interesting to see which of the youth players get a chance in the squad this season. By all reports, McGill has had a solid season out on loan as has Connor Smith so these guys might be kept around to play in the B team as well as the first team.

Daveandal Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 From interviews with Savage and Neilson we seem to have a nice Hybrid approach to signings. Robbie identifies areas and types of player we need. For example (I'm just making this bit up here) a ball playing centre half or a striker who can run into channels etc. Savage and his team then identify potential targets and if one suits they go for them. So on the whole Robbie doesn't suggest a certain player (although it looks like he did suggest Barrie McKay) and like wise Savage doesn't land a player on Robbie without his concent. In this model the relationship between Robbie and Joe is vital and it seems they not only work well together but get along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Brentford make an approach to Bologna for Hickey. *Callum Paterson would be a superb signing in the striker role.

People have actually said on several occasions - on this thread - that we’re talking Summer 2006 levels of signings this summer. So, is that off topic because it mentioned summer 2006? Or is it on topic because it relates to what we should expect this summer? As because if it’s the latter, then every single discussion you’ve deemed off topic in your last few posts has in fact been on topic as every discussion about the past signings is in relation to our current policy. It’s not hard to grasp. I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Patterson is not on that level of status, but league one is probabnly SPL level, maybe higher for the bottom 6 teams, but definitely competing wise at Top Six level. He would improve us that's for sure - i can see him being of similar ilk in that back at Hearts, he would hit his form again. He's only 27! I was on ther Cardiff forum actually and there was a thread about him, and how they regretted letting him go. Wednesday fans are just a bunch of moaning has-beens.

As a PlanB when we’re struggling it’s fine, but CP wouldn’t come back to be some battering ram for the last 20 minutes. We’d be paying him lots. When you are willing to pay lots you buy a starter. I’m not convinced Paterson is a starter except at RB where he isn’t keen on playing and that would push Atkinson out the picture. I’d be astonished and a wee bit disappointed if we signed him. Ourselves and Cardiff had the best of him. I don’t think he is great anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
