Only blip I can see so far though. Very impressive work on the financial side of all his deals too, in particular Hagi and Roofe. You need to stop pushing this rhetoric because it is simply not true. Watch Ryan Jack's goal again for example (19 touches) and see who is instrumental at the beginning of that move to bring it out of defence. The boy played very well in his 30 minutes on Saturday. Constantly finds space and his teammates where always passing the ball to him which is always a good sign. He keeps it simple but so does Kamara & Jack and he did loft two balls over their defence. If it were me, and I know this is against the consensus, but I would sign him permanently. However, I'm not sure what it means for him with the Bournemouth signing.

Why would we sign players just to make up the number for homegrown quota whilst allowing those who already meet the requirements of this quota to leave? Presumably he’s seen as a better backup squad player than what we already have. Pretty self-explanatory no? Do you think we signed Greg Stewart because he was genuinely good enough? Or do you think he was signed to help meet the quota? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRed 209 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Nice move, free transfer and it will supply the wings. I hope it will apply some pressure on Kent, Roofe coming back, good times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negri's lovechild 13,831 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Welcome to the famous! Hopefully we can come to some sort of arrangement with the sheep to get him in during this window, adding a decent squad member and hopefully we can shift a couple on.

Stop making sensible points. He's got no chance of getting a game and only here to make up the numbers, even though we could just pap a youth player or three in the squad if that was the case. I hope the lad kicks on and surprises people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah so he's been brought in for quality too, not just to meet quotas as you stated previously. You got there in the end. I think its more strategic than alluding to us bringing him in to be a bench warmer, Ross Wilson seems to think he fits the exact requirements for our strategy. Greg Stewart has plenty quality, he's actually showed more than Barker yet doesnt really get opportunities. Id imagine there's reasons for that, its unlikely to just be quality related.

Once a decent training regime, sports fitness coaches and data analytics are helping him he could be a completely different player. there’s a huge difference between running about in a field making sheep noises to what he’s about to experience at Auchenhowie. Fully agree, which makes it all the more surprising when people say Ferguson is pish. Ryan Jack never stood out against us either imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ain't getting a sniff at any medals. 2 or 3 cameos before the split for Jones then some after but yes it’s looking doubtful for both and I’m sure Jones if he doesn’t play the ten he will look back and regret that party for the rest of his life. A massive milestone in anyone’s life and possibly thrown away for a bit of skirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no way should we be paying Aberdeen any money to get him now, or reducing anything off the McCrorie deal either. They’re getting Ross for a snip, so fuck that. Player swap to the end of the season involving one or two of Jones, Barker or Stewart to fill the void for them. Also, why do we love signing players who have done their cruciate so much?! I'm thinking your right and the deal for MCrorie is involved in this to save them some cash - which they may not have. Ross wants to stay and SG is happy to have somebody he thinks has potential. Stewart has been at Aberdeen and didnt work out and i think Jones and Barker will go back to England Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
