Id never heard of him to be fair, If its Clark Robertson, he's not an International above U21, we've been linked with the past three windows He's a regular for Rotherham so would require a fee in January.

Someones winding you up if they're claiming we're signing him, I'm sure Hull paid £5m for him just a season or two ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Winding me up), I had no idea who he was to be honest never heard of him before my mole in Barnsley told me about him, Don't think we are signing him would be a loan, not sure if he has been injured or just not getting a game, How old is he??? is he a experienced player????

Played 27 times for Hull in the Championship season, and started their first four games this season before getting injured. Looks like they loaned a left back to cover the injury and Kingsley has never got his place back. His wage is reported at being £8k a week, and Hull paid £3m for him in 17/18.

south inch Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Kingsley is listed as a left back, he is 5'10" and tips the scales at 10 1/2 stone. Not my idea of a big strong, experienced central defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny B Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 15 hours ago, Linky said: Our options are limited. Who wants to play for a club bottom of the table? We know he links up well with May. He knows the club, knows Tommy, gives everything, I doubt any new Hearts manager would be that bothered about keeping him. He also linked well with O'Halloran, Wotherspoon and Davidson and that's a blast from the past. That may work again May McLean Wotherspoon, McCann, Davidson O'Halloran But we still have the same problem defense. Clark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintdunc Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Saw Chris Iwelumo on Pointless the other day. Now if he could be tempted to come out of retirement to link up with Macca and May we could score goals for fun!!!! garydavidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 I'm on board the Bring Back Macca train. Even get him back on loan for the second half of the season. Might not play every game but I think he'd make a difference. Another suggestion: not sure what his contract situation is but I'd like to see Saints take a look at Ricardo Santos at Barnet. 6'6 central defender - big, strong, athletic player who commands his defence and distributes the ball well. Has also played in League One for Peterborough. https://www.barnetfc.com/teams/first-team/defender/ricardo-santos/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of him to rate him, but I'm heavily reluctant to see us pay cash money for a CB playing the English fifth tier. His career trajectory has seen him drop from a League One regular, to a League Two regular, and now a Conference regular. Its four seasons since he played for Peterborough.

RandomGuy Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 On MacLean, no idea. Love the man, he was still bagging goals when he left us, and is still play semi-regularly for Hearts. Cant help but feel it would be a backwards step though, signing a 37yo striker in the hope he can turn the clock back 6 years to link with another striker feels desperate.

rik2304 Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Any of the other clubs that have been in our situation and managed to escape have done it by spending and changing the manager. Hopefully we can do it by having faith in the manager and spending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, think he is a couple of seasons past it, and his performance against a few weeks ago reflect that, why waste a wage when could be used more efficiently when the budget is so tight. Just don’t understand why they even bother to bring in guys like Callum booth, and the likes of Michael hart, Michael Doyle in the past when clearly not any intention to play them, yeah need squad players, but these type of guys especially a guy with booths experience should be better than Duffy at the moment, so if not used why waste a wage and use the cash to get someone that will be pushing to start..

Macca did nothing at McDiarmid a few weeks ago against our weak defence apart from throw his arms about. Someone like Santos is where we will have to look as I think there are big ball winning centre backs in lower leagues down south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree,we have been in top league for 10 seasons now & our youth policy should have brought through enough players to provide back up rather than bringing in guys on decent wages to sit in the stand. crieffsaintandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
