LA-Don Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I'd say based on observation Hayes would be as good, if not most likely better, than Wright, McLennan, Gallagher, and McGinn. I like Hedges but the rest are far too inconsistent and even Hedges is somewhat unknown. You could argue Wright and McLennan need to grow but DM doesn't really develop youth so we can't assume he will with these two. If he's affordable why not, plus can play left back too.

wee toon red Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 If Hayes is available we should absolutely be in for him. I’d also be having a word with James Morrison and Alan Hutton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrshire_don74 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 the worst pound for pound signing in recent afc history off to st johnstone, what a waste of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Caat Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 the worst pound for pound signing in recent afc history off to st johnstone, what a waste of money That was Forrester without a shadow of a doubt. At least every time May took the field he tried his guts out. And despite his personal lack of goals, I still contend that his partnership with Cosgrove worked well. We haven't seen enough of Main to write him off completely as yet but from what we have seen so far, I'd rather we hadn't signed him and persevered with using May when required.

ayrshire_don74 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 we spent what 400k on May was probably on a very good contract , got 2 years of wages and we have given him a bung to leave, for a return of 7 goals in that time its a way more expensive mistake than forrester, which again was an incredibly poor piece of business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshire_don74 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 all in forrester + may and including transfers wages and pay off DM has cost us what nearly 1m , that is not money we can afford to waste and frankly incredible the board isnt scrutinising this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFuckinPowers Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 It might be a good thing, Lampard & Jody Morris going to Chelsea, in terms of Loans. Whilst we'd all prefer permanent signings, the odd loan wouldn't hurt and in fact, has proved to be a success for us ( Ward, Hector, Maddison, Lowe etc... ) McInnes is very close to Morris & Lampard and I've no doubt they'll have been in communication regarding loan players already, Billy Gilmour is the name I have seen bandied about, he's either a CM or a CAM, never seen him but fairly certain that's where he plays.

Ten Caat Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Yep it's Gilmour that I've heard too. I suspect he would be vying for a place with either Ferguson or Bryson. You would have to assume that Chelsea would stipulate he has to play a certain percentage of game time as part of the loan agreement so one of our players isn't going to be a happy camper.

wee toon red Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Gilmour has the potential to be a great signing. Can't see it happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFuckinPowers Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 He also made an appearance for Chelsea today from the bench, either having a look at him in a competitive game or he's just trained really well and they're going with youth this season. Be interesting to see how it develops, whichever player it might be. Hector being there too, hopefully putting in a good word for us.

Ten Caat Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Saw a picture of him coming on standing next to Abraham. Looked like a midget, similar tiny legs as John Spencer had. Guessing the Chelsea loanee rumours are just that then. Preparing to be totally underwhelmed tomorrow as the transfer window shuts. Celtic will get a decent left back in Taylor. Sevco will try to get Kent (not saying they'll succeed). We will likely get sweet FA. Although sweet FA is infinitely preferable to the other name linked with us (Ikechi f@ckin Anya ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFuckinPowers Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Dm already said no more business in his post match presser did he not? He also said that Cosgrove was missing the Rijeka game! Probably won't be any more additions the more I think about it though, we had a relatively strong bench today, and McKenna, Taylor & Logan are still to come back, so hard to see who would be dropped from that bench as well as the aforementioned trio. Was really hoping for another attacking Midfielder in all honesty. But if Bryson gets fit, which looks like he is, we saw it in flashes again today, in where he took some nice touches and looked to get the ball forward as quickly as possible, then perhaps we don't require one. Perhaps if Anderson & Wright got sent out on loan, with May having left already, we may see another addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA-Don Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 We need a creative attacking mid but in DMs eyes we have hedges mcginn Gallagher Ferguson Wilson and Wright all ‘capable’ of playing there. Don’t see any signings happen unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A llad insane Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Looking at the subs warming up at half time, Gallagher,Anderson,Wilson,McLennan, & Main all attacking players ? Just aswell no defenders got injured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Seems like Hoban is on his way back for rehab. No doubting his ability, just can't help but think that we won't see him play. No harm letting him back for rehab though. Be great if it worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Caat Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Given that the injury happened during his time with us, its certainly the right thing to do to help him in any way we can with his rehabilitation. Still think it is a bit of a long shot that he will recover to an extent that allows him to play football at the top level again, given that he's now done both knees in but there was no doubt when he played that he was a class act so fingers crossed he does. Can possibly see him getting a "pay as you play" deal for the second half of the season which would probably suit both sides......but I reiterate. I think it's more likely he will sadly prove to be unable to resume a professional career at the top level again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFuckinPowers Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 No doubt in my mind that if he gets back to full fitness and does agree a deal here, he'd instantly be our best CB. I sincerely hope that everything works out for the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Don't doubt Hoban is a good player but has now done the cruciate in both knees, had surgery on his shoulder and ankles in the last few years I just do not think he is worth wasting a squad place on. Even on a pay as you play type deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
