Alert Mongoose Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 He's not willing though. And arguably worse than anything we currently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Has he been asked??? And if so has he publicly knocked us back??? He's already had a cap for England, not sure if it was a competitive game. He's only 23 so I doubt he's ready to turn his back on England yet.

SharkSharkShark Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I thought Dryhorce was touted as a potential CH? Thing is he's not good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Didn't realise Hanley was as young as 22? Is that right? If so then plenty of time for him to improve but definitely need somebody else to step up to the plate. Our current their choice cb in Greer will be 35 come the next campaign!

SharkSharkShark Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I see Ash Taylor is in the news today saying he is up for playing for Scotland and might be eligible. 6'4", 24 years old - might be worth a look in a friendly if he keeps playing his part in Aberdeen's current excellent run.Ash Taylor simply isn't good enough. And I also doubt he is eligible. All our Centre-Half options from the top two divisions down south!!! Premier League Chris Herd - 25 - Aston Villa Alex Davey - 19 - Chelsea Peter Ramage - 30 - Crystal Palace George Johnston - 16 - Liverpool Jack Alexander - 17 - Liverpool Ryan McKinnon - 18 - Newcastle United Kyle Cameron - 17 - Newcastle United Coll Donaldson - 19 - Queens Park Rangers Steven Caulker - 21 - Queens Park Rangers The Championship Tom Lang - 17 - Birmingham City Grant Hanley - 22 - Blackburn Rovers Sam Lavelle - 17 - Blackburn Rovers Gary MacKenzie - 28 - Blackpool Lionel Stone - 19 - Brentford Gordon Greer - 33 - Brighton & Hove Albion Jack Grimmer - 20 - -Fulham Cameron Burgess - 18 - Fulham Murray Wallace - 21 - Huddersfield Town William Boyle - 19 - Huddersfield Town Christophe Berra - 28 - Ipswich Town Kieran Weledji - 19 - Middlesborough Ewan McNeil - 19 - Norwich City Zak Jules - 17 - Reading Gary Caldwell - 32 - Wigan Athletic The only players 20+ in the premier league are Caulker (very unlikely, likely to represent England), Ramage (on his way out, no better than what we have) and Herd (pretty sure he has chosen Australia now).I don't think MacKenzie, Berra or Caldwell will regularly if ever be in a Scotland shirt in this campaign/next campaign. Wallace looks like a good prospect as do all the young ones, although Burgess has too opted for Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 He's already had a cap for England, not sure if it was a competitive game. He's only 23 so I doubt he's ready to turn his back on England yet. He has one cap for England in a FRIENDLY against Sweden on 12th November 2012, he actually scored on his debut in the 4-2 defeat, they were winning 2-1 until he was subbed in the 72nd minute!!! As his only England cap was a friendly, he is permitted to change allegiances!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Didn't realise Hanley was as young as 22? Is that right? ! No, sorry, he's actually 23 now, born 20th November 1991!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 23 years old I'm sure he fancy's his chances of going on to get more caps from the country of his birth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he needs to be asked if he wants to play for us, then we'll all know where we stand with his resultant answer!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people know where stand, it'll be a no which is probably why he hasn't been asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkSharkShark Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Just having a look at Herd and he hasn't actually made a competitive appearance for Australia yet, although he is away to the Asian Cup where he probably will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kebab Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Didn't miss him, he's a Left-Back!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Nah he is a centre half. That's his main position and that's where he played for Hull and Chesterfield. When he signed for Leeds in summer they played him at left back for a handful of games before moving him to the centre which he has been since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Aye!!! He is!!! But then again technically Russell Martin is a Right-Back!!! But if he's getting a game there then fair enough!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Oracle Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Aye!!! He is!!! But then again technically Russell Martin is a Right-Back!!! But if he's getting a game there then fair enough!!! Ewan McNeil was released by Norwich in the summer. Fairly sure he plays for Brechin now so I think it's safe to take him off that list. And the fact that he's also a right back.
