We were lucky we got someone who saw the positives of coming back to the club he was on loan at and performed well for. That sort of mentality is missing from a lot of English lads that come through the academy systems down south. Don’t really want to see him go but as others have said he deserves his chance at a higher level. Hope if he goes we get a decent fee he does well, and other players from down south see the path he took as a positive one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karipidis Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 20 minutes ago, GinRummy said: The fact we are in for a left back could be to do with the fact Kingsley is seen as more of a CB these days. I agree with this. I don’t think Penrice is being brought in as a Cochrane replacement, think he is coming in to give competition to Cochrane, and if he leaves then we will sign another left back. It’s clear Naismith now sees Kingsley at a centre back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Rowles is still to come back and will play lft sided centre back. Kingsley, IMO, is better than Cochrane and more than capable of moving between lb/lwb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 SPL signings, but if you really want to improve and step up a level, realistically these are lads who may need a year or so of coming off the bench, Forrest only really now taking his game to the next level after a year and a half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboscanbevicius Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I am a big fan of pre-contracts for players already in our league. Don’t want to get ahead of ourselves before anything is official, but Dhanda and Penrice both look like logical and solid business if they come off. Good age. Know the league. Strong performers. No fee. Minimal risk. There are one or two others worth a look IMO too. Particularly Baccus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weegie jambo Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 We appear to be covering all the bases with the Penrice move. From what I've heard he is a consistent performer. I really don't want Alex to go and if he stays we have a great selection of left sided defenders. Rowles and Kingsley can both play CHL. Cochrane and Kingsley can both play LB in a four or LWB in a five. Penrice would seem to give us a solid back up in this area. I'll be watching how he performs closely from now on.

Juho_Makela_Goal_Machine Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Dhanda - delighted to get the pre-contract done, if he comes now for a reasonable fee even better. Would work just as well if we could get fraser on loan until end of season though. Penrice - good cover at LB for next season, will push Cochrane or whoever we bring in to replace Cochrane if he goes now or in the summer. Shrewd business. Maybe suggest we see Kingsley's long-term future at CB/LCB in a 3. Both a good age and could theoretically have resale value if they really kick on, and we're getting them for free. This is the type of business we've been desperate for for ages, picking up the best of the rest in the league. And they'll have a full preseason under their belts when we kick the season off. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evident Vargas now ahead of Tagawa for that spot, based on the teams the manager has been picking. I doubt we'll see much more of Tagawa unless we get injuries. 6 months at Ross County to sweeten Danda's early release would give County firepower and Tagawa a chance to shine/settle in.

That was lazy. He's improved, despite Ross Co arguably being worse this season. He looks like a guy who has kind of clicked and also there's something about him that I think he'll relish the bigger stage. Quite excited to see him in maroon. Guid hair enaw.

Some on here should know him He is 1000% not a Hibs supporter so there are no worries on that score. He grew up with my boy and played in some of the same teams when they were younger. He was in Hibs youth set up for a couple of seasons when he was 13/14. Went to Partick Thistle after that which is where he made his breakthrough as a first team player. Had a loan period at Livingston in the Premiership and did so well they went back and signed him permanently. If i remember correctly, during the loan period at Livi, they played him mostly in an attacking midfield position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this is Naismith's influence on Savage relating to more players who can hit the ground running (hopefully) rather than have to wait on a "project player" to produce the goods. It is often difficult for players to come half way round the world and expect them to settle into a different culture, environment not to mention language barriers. So long as there is decent talent in and around us why go round the globe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
