Wee Mental Davie Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 I see Nigel Hasselbaink is a free agent in the Summer. Looks to have gotten back to him old pacey ball hogging self at Excelsior. Transfermarkt has him up at his highest value tae. The only thing Davey is why would he be released if he was brilliant?. Didny say he was brilliant. Probably still a ball hogging shitebag like he was with us and the Buddies, hence why Transfermarkt prolly has him at his highest value cos them countries like that sort of pish.

Wee Mental Davie Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Nige was great with us. I'd be happy to have him back. He was good don't get me wrong, but there were spells where he kept the ball longer than he should have. But he provided a spark in the team, so I'd take another punt on him for definite.

Abernethy Saint Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Nah - occasional burst of brilliance interspersed with a lot of sulking and not tracking back. Not a team player. saintj and Oldmuirton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Saint Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Nige was great with us. I'd be happy to have him back. He had some good games and was pivotal in cup winning season, but I also remember his main aspect was running with the ball in to dead ends. Wish him well, a good talent, but I would imagine he would wish to stay in The Netherlands. Replacement for Danny and a high calibre striker needed, that is all I think.

RandomGuy Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Just popping in to say we've signed a lad called John Robertson from the Tynecastle U16 squad. I believe hes scored 90 goals for them this season, although I've not found any proof of it due to the lack of history at that level. The club has a history of promising youngsters with Callum Paterson and Jamie Walker coming through there. Jason Kerr also came through the club. chips and HOODLUM65 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like signing someone from one of the Jeanfield Swift boys teams, just so no one gets confused and thinks we've signed a Hearts youngster. mainstand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club has a history of promising youngsters with Callum Paterson and Jamie Walker coming through there. Jason Kerr also came through the club. He is only 16 and whilst the stats are good he still has a helluva lot to learn. FWIW I think the 90 might be slight exaggeration given the number of games they play. He did get a good write up when they won scottish cup. Good luck to the lad but as ed star says it is just another lad starting out on his career.

RandomGuy Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 FWIW I think the 90 might be slight exaggeration As I say, I've no hard evidence of it as it seems quite hard to find full stats for that age group.

garydavidson Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 From the BBC - We need to get Danny (Swanson) replaced and get some fresh legs, a bit of pace up front. "We're looking at where we'll really try to strengthen the squad and improve it. We need to do things quickly. "I'm expecting to be here next season. I have two years left on my contract. I have a great job here and it would have to be the right move for me, because I have such a good club here and I'm happy here. I am ambitious and if something had to come along that ticks all the boxes, it may interest me." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full steam ahead Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 What is happening with Scobbie and Mannus ? Thought me might have got a idea at the end today . Both went straight up the tunnel . Replacement for Danny required someone who can make something happen see a pass. Another striker but who ???

Greylag Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) If you were asked who you wanted to make a last ditch tackle or block in the box, then I'd take Tam Scobbie before any other outfield player at the club.

Widge Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 If you were asked who you wanted to make a last ditch tackle or block in the box, then I'd take Tam Scobbie before any other outfield player at the club. He wouldn't make so many last ditch tackles if he was in the correct position in the first place. It's James McPake syndrome, these are the things fans notice and love, but compare to Steven Anderson who can defend properly, he rarely makes these tackles.

MrBored Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Mannus signs a new one year deal. Great news having two top keepers for the new season. PauloPerth, Kilgour, R.B.B:- Adz and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldPoster Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Mannus is a great keeper but I question the logic in giving him another year Zander has shown he is number 1 and I think although Mannus is a great keeper and a great servant his wages would have been better spent elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is more like he trusts Mannus more as he seems to have changed Sanders style a bit as last season he commanded his area but now seems to stay on his line more.

Guest ScottMann Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 This is great news. Most Scottish clubs can only dream of having two keepers of this quality. We haven't a clue what the figures are so if Steve Brown and Tommy are happy with them that's fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Getting in the top 6 & ending up 4th have improved our budget but with only Danny leaving doesn't leave much room to bring back Mikey,loan May & bring in Scougall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
