Just going back to the earlier chat of strongest team... I think Brad Mckay has a strong shout of being in it with Henderson in midfield tbh. Mckay over Mackie for me. 

 

 

 

 

McKay is right footed, Mackie left footed. McGlynn won't play two right footed cb's unless he really needs to.

Yes

Surely that's not right, as then you could bring in as many loans from down south as you wanted?

I thought it was just 5 loans in at the one time? I've actually miscounted right enough as the two signings yesterday take us up to 5 so by my reckoning we don't have anymore left.

It’s 5 domestic loans, England not included in those numbers.

Aye maybe. I have always had the impression McGlynn is a fa of Sean Mackie. I felt like McCann really had to work to displace him and at the early stages was always convinced McGlynn wanted Mackie in there.

Strikes me we are now properly planning as a football club again.

Manager who knows how he wants to play. He knows what type of player he wants and doesn’t just sign anyone unless he really wants them. 

While we clearly still have financial challenges it seems the management of the club is starting to give the manager the stability to do his job properly. 

If we can keep on the Fifers coat tails till we have the two games against them I think yesterday could have been quite a significant day. 

Hope so, because ultimately we will be in won or bust territory in the games against them. I don't think there will be an issue with staying there or thereabouts, but they aren't going to hand it to us. 

You have to imagine that they might yet give us the two points required that puts it into "its at least in our own hands" territory.

Agree with the sentiments about Lawal. What shortcoming he has are more than superceded by his ball carrying and ability to beat a man, his clever feet in tight situations and his threat in front of goal. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Regardless of Nesbitts form and Meekisons potential, I'd still be willing to hear arguments that Lawal is the best of the 3 of them if its a choice of those three for the one role. Il be disappointed in McGlynn if the intention here is that Lawal us surplus, but I seriously doubt that it is. That boy is a bona fide game changer. They don't come along often. 

Between Lawal, Nesbitt, and Meekison, they’ll need to compete for the number 10 jersey. Whoever’s on form will play. Exactly the competition McGlynn wants.

You can yes, and teams do regularly. In the Romanov days Hearts had about a dozen players on loan from Kaunas.

There is a proposal floating about since pre-Covid to limit international loans in number per club but it hasn't gone through yet. There's currently no limit.

I think as per the twitter spat regarding the term loans, cross border loans are actually temporary transfers so no limits. There are limits along the lines quoted for domestic loans/ temporary transfers.
