OTT Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I'd take Paterson back. Would give us cover at RB, RWB, RM, RW, CB, CM and Striker. Most importantly would give a real aerial threat and physical presence. Think particularly with Smith declining, Paterson coming back to challenge Atkinson for RB would be a good shout. I'd like another winger too and possibly a CB as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 We didn’t get enough players or the right quality on the summer window but in Jan window I’d be happy with 2 or 3 quality additions. Defender, a goal scoring 10, and a pacy wide attacker/striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right sided Andy Halliday, defensively much sounder now as evidenced by him playing CB for Wednesday. I think he'd be a brilliant signing and help save a lot of headaches when injuries crop up. Take Shankland being our only fit striker atm. Absolutely no one wants to be seeing Hendo on the team sheet in a starting berth Completely get its exhausting, but the value he'd bring to the table is amazing.

If he'd be happy to take £2/£3k a week he'd be exactly that- a right sided, more attacking Haliday. Would give us cover and option's and he'd be a great guy for team morale and he gets Hearts. The problem would be if he wants more money and / or regular football guaranteed, he's just not good enough. He could be a last minute signing once he's out of contract and exhausted his option's in the summer, I'll say he'll be back but only if no one else offers him regular football or more money than we are prepared ti offer. He could get a english side chucking £5/6k at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackOfTheNet Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Paterson has played 9 games in League One this season, minutes on the pitch equating to just over 4 games. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/callum-paterson/leistungsdaten/spieler/169555 Just stop it with him already, he’s nothing like the player he was FFS.

If we've paid a fee and a chunky wage to Grant instead of getting Dhanda on a free and on a wage that Ross County can afford then I would be tempted to question why we did that. He certainly looked better yesterday than anything I've seen from Grant and looks like he would fit into the creative number 10 role we've been screaming out for as opposed to Grant being what I would call a number 8.

I think any player under 25 that looks good we will be interested in. Only a few I've seen so far against us I have been impressed with,I thought Nouble killed us at the Toni Macaroni,been impressed with Baccus at St Mirren but thought Dhanda looked a cut above,whether he can do that consistently time will tell,but if he does I would guess he would be out our league then.

I’m not one for talking about us getting to the ‘next level’ either but given the funds we now have available signing players from teams near the bottom of the league in Scotland seems like a wasted opportunity. Other than Halkett and Soutar I can’t think of any other signings we have made from other Scottish clubs recently that have really improved our team and even then I’m not convinced that we couldn’t have found better than Halkett. We really need to spend the money on guys who will bring something new and different to Scottish football even if, at a minimum, it’s not the attitude that the OF always win things.

The McGinn one is a really bad one. I would like to see us looking at the Championship or bottom end Premiership for any young talent we think can make the step up. We're probably already doing that tbf, Lewis Neilson is proof of that but there are probably more we could snap up too. Dylan Reid and Jay Henderson at St Mirren both seem to be highly rated and out of contract at the end of the season, fair enough will need to pay a development fee, but worth it for the right player? Dylan Levitt and Archie Meekison are both out of contract at the end of next season too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
