He was released from Aberdeen same league as us ???

Nowhere close to the same level though. Kane Hemmings wasn’t good enough for us but was fine for Dundee in the same league. Far greater expectation playing for us than there is playing for the likes of Aberdeen, where finishing 30 points behind celtic is to be celebrated

And as for Ayr not being hard to deal with, they’ve already rejected a £150,000 bid for him this month. Bollock to paying that sort of fee for someone who, again, was released by Aberdeen for not being good enough. 

And Aberdeen are?

Scoring a lot in one season in the Scottish third tier and then for 6 or so games in the second/league cup groups isn't enough to be regarded as a possible signing for us. 

It shows potential. If we could pick him up for say £250000, we could loan him straight back. If he bangs them in then give him a shot next season.

Aye another transfer fee and a wage for someone who'll never get a game. Just what's needed.

Think I'd rather wait for another of the DoF/SG surprise signings.

The fee and wage will be buttons. We're weak upfront and need cover. The window shuts soon and they've had 10 weeks to strengthen upfront. That would suggest they don't have many targets or surprises up their sleeve.

We’ve brought one in already (Sadiq) and another arrival is imminent (Lafferty). Three centre-forwards is plenty in a side that plays with one striker. We’ve also got our own youngsters like Rudden if needed.

I think they do. There's 2 weeks of the transfer window still to go. If we win big on Thursday someone will come in. You heard it here first ?

In itself it shows nothing much. Would have to be backed up by scouts saying they think he could do it at a higher level. We're not yet rich enough to be gambling that kind of cash on Guy just because he scores goals at low levels.

Sadiq doesn't fill me with confidence. Could be this season's Pena.

I'd rather have that Souleymane Coulibaly who is training with Partick right now.  He's also 23 but he's done it in the SPFL top-tier and earned Kilmarnock a fee of £800k not too long ago.  If he is in fact a free agent there's very little to lose by taking him on and unlike Shankland he can play as a wide attacker.
