I'm not saying for a minute Benedictus is the be all and end all but he's surely better than Brad  McKay. Plus if he does sign we will have Henderson, Donaldson, Watson(long term injury) as centre back options aswell as the aforementioned McKay unless we can punt him.

We would have to pay someone to take Brad McKay. Absolutely gantin

Possibly the best we can realistically hope for is two players on season long loans where we pay 50% of their wages. Two out on those terms might allow one to come in.

Brad McKay would have to be one of them though…….and sadly, we would have to do that two years running.

Probably, would have be a team in desperation though. We will surely be his last full time club

Thing is, someone universally seen as decent L2 standard would be better than McKay. “Better than McKay” shouldn’t be a reason for signing anyone. Buchanan and Durnan are both “better than McKay”, but I wouldn’t like to see either of them back at FFC.

In fact, “better than McKay” is probably not the phrase to use. You could argue that Messi is “better than Ronaldo”, but where McKay is concerned, “not as bad as” would be a better fit.

I think we will be his last ever club at any level.

Thought the same about some in the last 5 years but they’ve actually went on to play at a higher level. Some sport 

Some clubs still seem to think they can get something out of them but it's usually one season and then there back down here.

Not been mentioned what with the obvious choices for axing being McKay and Hetherington, but if Bagel Hands Holt hangs about picking up a wage, I admit that I’ll be a wee bit raging. Canny believe he got a 2 year deal:lol:

A commanding keeper would be an excellent next signing, ideally someone experienced who shouts, organises and comes for cross balls if such a thing can be found at our level

Is Mitchell still a reserve at Hibs?

Always thought he was good when he came back to us with Clyde
