Enigma Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 4 minutes ago, Broken Algorithms said: Keep in mind, his first spell he was being supplied by a midfield including Wedderburn, Gillespie, Barjonas and McGuffie. He knows the squad and manager. Plenty of potential and physical attributes. Doesn't alienate half the fan base. I'm all for it. He was also still just a teenager in that first spell. You could tell last season he bulked out a fair bit. I’m delighted with this signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Are we due a fee to Hibs at all or is he out of contract? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Happy with the signing, though agree that we ideally need another in. Basically what we need is a "classic" centre forward. In effect similar to Varian, but will score more goals. Does that realistically exist for us? We've 25 days to find out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I'm probably mistaken but it feels like we always sign Gullan on deadline day. This is all a bit disconcerting getting it done this early in the window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably next to nothing paid up front but a sizeable sell on for Hibs if he does well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Are we due a fee to Hibs at all or is he out of contract? We'd be due a fee as his deal is up in the summer. Based off what I've read, Hibs would prefer a sell on fee so it might be a very small figure. It's more down to him being under 23 and the development fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually wonder if this could be why we took a lower fee for Tait maybe we got an option on Gullan in January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I've never been a massive fan of Gullan however he is still young and with an extended time under McGlynn could still develop into a decent player. Provides a different option up front though which we are sorely lacking and provided we are still looking for another striker in addition to him rather than hoping we can convert him into a goalscorer in minimal time, I'm happy enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaketheSnake Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Gullan is a solid supporting striker. A poor man's Vaughan. Still need a big powerful striker to come in that can unsettle defences like Nouble at Arbroath or Innes Cameron when he was at Alloa last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers_Lad Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 We,re not needing a striker that unsettles defences Varian is good enough At it, its somebody to put the ball in the onion bag that we,re short of 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Yeah I still think we need another striker. Even if he doesn’t solve all our problems there’s no doubt we’re much stronger having Gullan now than we were before, he’s pretty versatile too, can play out wide etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 He'll do just fine and score a few goals if hes played in his natural position and not utilised as a winger or midfielder like his times with us before, unless he has to cover for injuries, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I’m ecstatic at this signing, I knew he would come home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Have to say that for signing a permanent striker in January this is up there with the best we could've hoped for. He has good experience, young enough to develop and knows how to score goals. Delighted with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC_Lachlan Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Happy enough with Gullan. Seems like a good egg (i.e. not a rapist) and there's clearly a player there and he's a known quantity. He'll definitely contribute and it's competition which hopefully will push an extra couple of percents from Varian and Poplatnik too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Perhaps he will work well with Varian playing a different role to Ross, Connolly and Zanatta. When they are all fit (excluding Vaughan) we have a very good squad for the rest of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
