But that being said I don’t think they’ve been helped by the rest of the team. One thing I feel that was key to us winning the league was our work off the ball, last year defending started from the front and a lot of opposition attacks would be broken down before they even reached our final third. Just not seen that this year so far. The main problem is how easy teams are finding it to score against us. We’ve conceded 13 goals from 17 shots on target since the start of October, which is an absolutely shocking stat.

The split fans want him sent back to us. I really wanted to love Katic. I'll never forget his st Johnstone away performance though. In saying that, there were games like the 2-1 piggery game where he was really good. Mixed with him coming back from a horrendous injury and bulking like fucking Arnie I really hoped the loan move worked out and we got a better player back. Doesn't look good. Will file under "players I wanted to do good who were quite pish" along with Aaron Niguez and Sebo. RM Monitor And Standards Officer 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearing in mind we paid nearly £4m for Goldson and with the situation would be lucky to recoup £2m just now. The bandwagon is in full motion with Goldson just now but people need to realise we would be worse defensively with the likes of Balougun and Bassey at the back.

Nobody is paying a penny for Goldson in January.

I suspect Doekhi will be a target either on a pre contract or January deal. Also suspect we’ll move for Souttar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doekhi has a contract until June 2022 so would probably need to pay about £3m for him imo. Money we don't have and money we wouldn't make off getting rid of Goldson. Still think it's a knee jerk reaction wanting Goldson gone. If we get offered a decent fee I'd take but he has to play until then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the worry about his injury record but he's played most games this season. One thing Gio needs to sort out is our home grown quota and signing Soutter helps with this especially considering we're most likely to lose likes of McGregor and Arfield as from next season. Id rather use up the quota with 3rd/4th choice CH on a free than spend over the odds for a Nisbet or the likes to help manage it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a young, no-nonsense centre half who has worked very hard to get back to fitness. Could have done with him a few times this season. His attitude could not be more removed from that of Goldson. Some people tend to see players somehow get better, the longer they’re away but you’re the complete opposite. He’s no Richard Gough but I’d happily see him alongside Helander after the New Year.

He's not as injury prone as made out though. Yes, he's had some bad injuries but he seems to either get a really bad one or nothing at all. When you look at guys like Jack, Roofe and Helander, he could be much worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good interview with Mario Melchiot on SSN this morning talking about how Gio’s appointment has made headlines in Holland. All very positive apparently. Not familiar with Doekhi to be honest but coming to play with a Dutch management team for a couple of years before going to England doesn’t seem that crazy an idea.
