ilostmyself Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Been a good window so far, improved the 2 areas we absolutely had to, up front and defence. If we can improve the centre of midfield or lower priority in goals then it will have been a fantastic window. I think we should keep faith in McCann too, he's on a longer term deal and i think he can develop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that Hall or McKay will be going anywhere either as I can't imagine who would want to take 2 CBs that are surplus to requirements at a L1 club, not unless a Stirling Albion or a Stenhousemuir want them which would mean us still paying the bulk of their wages. Agreed about McCann. I’d hope we would continue his development with game time. However, I suspect that we will see one of Hall / McKay being let go. Hall probably the more likely with only a few months left on his contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The talking point for Leon McCann is always going to end up being defensive exposure over the top if you have a cast of idiots behind him making sure it costs us goals and points but in the end of the day if we want to push up the league, and bearing in mind the quality of this league, at some point we are going to have to consider trading off some defensive capacity in favour of wing backs actually contributing to the attack. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like a lad with a future and will be using us as part of his development.Now how long will it take us to gel!

Bigbri Bairn Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 3 new defenders and 2 new ( if you count Dowds )strikers so far. Rennie is not messing about. Hope it works 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centre midfield next please Martin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Looks a good prospect. Hopefully he gets a bit more exposure than the last player we got on loan from the English Championship 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latapythelegend Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Its good to see he has been at Hull since a young age. Its shows they see something there to keep him on so we we should have a decent prospect on our hands. I was half expecting him to be signed from some Irish diddies then papped out on loan to get him out the door when they see he's not up to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s certainly not what we want for a centre half. However perhaps Dixon and Watson can coach him through games. Still happier with this than what we have though…. I’ll take that over the consistently shite of Hall and McKay. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telfers got piles of skill but he disappears in games far too often. We know what he's capable of he needs to do it far more often though. League one should be a scoosh for him but he needs to be more willing to get his sleeves rolled up and stuck in when the going gets tough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 So is this signing 2 of 2 that was spoke of before Watson signed, with mega stawner still to be announced if pulled off?
