Jmothecat2 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Saw Scott Wright had to pull out of the under 21s squad. Hopefully it's not too serious an injury as we're not exactly overflowing with attacking mids.Frustrating this has happened coming off his pest performance in a wee while. Thought the Hibs game was crying out for someone like Wright to run at their defenders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, seeing the Irish boy for them taking on our defenders made our lack of such a player in the middle of the pitch all the more glaring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 May didn't play too badly against Hibs, but he missed having someone like Wright prepared to run beyond and support him. Wright's performance against St Mirren was as good as I've seen him play - it was almost reminiscent of Pawlett when he was a good player. Unfortunate timing with the injury; hope it's not too serious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He barely got a kick. Let’s hope he starts against Killie and we get a chance to really see what he’s about. I wasn't passing judgement on Wilson, I was pointing out that our lack of an attacking midfielder meant that Wilson was forced into playing as a kind of link man, dealing with aimless punts forward. That's not why we signed him (hopefully). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 The Sun linking us to Gauld I see. Not sure if it was them that was saying he was heading to Ibrox a few days back. Probably just throwing any old shit out there hoping some of it sticks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Yeah wish I had that level of optimism. Another random on loan from down south at most I reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Did Gauld play in the same Dab team as GMS ? You never know, he might look at the way GMS has rediscovered his mojo and think that he fancies a bit of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauld is not registered for Sporting so he needs to go somewhere tomorrow or Friday. Christie is out of contract in May so almost last chance for them to get a fee for him. Retaining him for the last year of his deal would cost them upwards of £200k. They'd need to use him occasionally to justify that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christie got poorer as last season went on. Maybe sorting his future out would settle him, and he could show the form from before, who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably he is still their (Sporting Lisbon’s) player (his contract runs until 2020 I think) but they haven’t registered him in their squad for the Primera Liga. So we would still loan him from Sporting, they just have no intent on him playing for them this season. I haven’t fact checked whether he is registered in their league squad or not, just taking what d31 has said at face value here. I think Gauld could be a reasonable punt for us as he clearly had talent when he was at United but god knows how good he would actually be.

I forgot that he was a Laurencekirk loon. As for Christie, I think that he was guilty last season of trying too hard....often trying to carry the whole team on his shoulders. There's definitely a player in there, and he's the kind of drive into the box midfielder that we desperately need at this moment. I have a feeling though that Rasellik are in a massive huff with other Scottish clubs, and wouldn't sell him to us regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Rodgers seemingly said today that the Celtic squad was too big and they need to trim so I'd imagine that will give teams like Aberdeen and Hibs the hope of getting the likes of Christie or Allan. No guarantee of interest from down south for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
