Pans Jambo Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 He's only 26 (27 in October this year). Still in his prime. He most certainly could 'do a job'. Make it so Hearts.

rudi must stay Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Wouldn't want him. The defence isn't the problem you've got Halkett, Rowles and Frankie Kent and Neilson if you recall him. Even Sibbick can play centre-back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I have high hopes for Neilson, he has the stature and the raw tools to be a great player. Obviously needs bedded in being a defender but he could be the next one to really step up a level when he returns from his loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Cockade Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 i’m very hopeful that Neilson will turn out to be a top player He’s a real unit with good pace and quality on the ball who has been having a great season in the Championship With Kent, Rowles, Halkett and Kingsley already here can’t see us even looking at Jimmy He was great in his short spell with us but think that boat has sailed and we probably couldn’t pay his wages anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A run of games in the Championship will have done him the world of good. He always looked cracking on the ball and strong as an ox for his age.

Martin_T Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Personally prefer both Halkett and Kingsley to Dunne. Assuming no departures centre back probably the last position we need to recruit for. Even if Sibbick were to leave, we'll likely be adding Lewis Neilson to the first team squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fort Vallance Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I'd take him back in a minute. But the money he could make in the Championship would be more than we're expecting Shankland to sign for. Never going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the start of last season Halkett has played 890 minutes which is the equivalent of 10 matches. He also missed 9 games towards the end of the season before that. He’s getting scans on his injury from the weekend today, hopefully he’s back in training quickly. For me if we’re planning our squad going into next season we need to view Halkett as a bonus player rather than one of our four centre back options.

Its a shame for Halks, he's a great defender. But thats 3 (maybe 4) breakdowns he's had in the last 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Berry Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Hopefully Lewis Neilson steps up. It's what we need to do, just like with Tait & Denholm this season, he certainly has the attributes to succeed. He'll be 21 with a season in the Championship under his belt. Kent, Rowles, Halkett, Neilson, with Kingsley able to fill-in at CH as well. Job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I can see Toby moving on in the summer and Neilson stepping up into his place. The volume of injuries that Halkett is starting to accumulate is definitely a worry. I can see us signing another centre half in the summer. Doubt we can afford Jimmy though.

No , but sadly they have the potential to be thanks to the ridiculous money down there . Things are distorted due to the media deals down there and players a lot worse than Jimmy will be earning multiples of what we can offer I expect . Surely he is a good pick up for someone down there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
