edinburgharab Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Was quite impressed by him (Adam King) in the game against Dumbarton. Looks to be a deep lying midfielder who is comfortable on the ball (probably more similar to Harkes than Butcher). Came deep a lot to get the ball from the goalie. Looks like we've got decent competition in that area with Bouhenna looking good in there during the playoffs as well. Will probably mean Stanton playing further forward when he does get a game.

Guest Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 4 hours ago, coppola said: Good chance King will be the last addition to the squad this summer (maybe one or two to leave) giving us a first team squad of: Keepers Siegrist Deniz Full Backs Robson Booth Sporle Smith Watson Centre Halfs Reynolds Connolly Frans Centre Mid Butcher Bouhenna Harkes King Stanton Attacking Mid / Wingers C. Smith McMullan Pawlett Banks Strikers Sow Shankland Clark Appere Obviously plenty guys in there who can cover multiple positions (Watson & Bouhenna at centre half etc.). I'd probably still like us to sign one more out and out winger but really that squad should be good enough to win this league. Neilson has the tools, now up to him to use them to best effect. I'm hoping that with this squad the 5/1 on offer against Hearts tomorrow could be worth a decent punt ??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently offered him twice as much as we have Forget finances for a minute even though a larger pay packet would be nice. I would imagine St Johnstone have the advantage of him knowing the club well and manager as well come to think with Tommy Wright still around. It could be here may be more comfortable returning to familiar settings and that may help him get back to the form he had shown before he left. I would not be against signing him, however I can see why a return to Saints may appeal to him though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumoured United wage is closer to the wage hes on than to our offer. Literally all we can offer is first team football and a club he knows, financially it would be a no brainer.

People who think that because such rumours are being repeated on social media means that their “gaining traction”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As amusing as that would be for two minutes, I'm not sure it's worth it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
