Cagey Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 1 hour ago, skivealive said: If the choice is between Macca or Watt, I'd have Macca any day of the week. (I really hope these aren't our only two targets!) I thought Watt was poor when he was here, and we have other similar strikers already. If we are sticking with the wing backs, a striker could do well with the deliveries from Tanser and Wright. Plus decent passers in midfield...a striker that actually stays in/around the six yard box is whats needed. I don't think they are targets ,just fans speculation & some hoping.

Linky Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I think the fact that Scottish football's reputation has increased means that if a player like Nisbet is scoring lots of goals in the second tier, it means they are outwith the means of most Scottish clubs outside the OF (Shankland is another, for example). English Championship clubs come in for a bid, and that's that. It's therefore getting more difficult for clubs of our side to scout for decent players in the division below. I think Hendry could potentially develop into the best striker we've had for a while. If we're still playing 1 striker most of the time, I would therefore prefer the wage budget to be spent on a playmaking attacking midfielder who can compete with Wotherspoon for that spot. However Swanson also fits in this mould, so would this depend on him going out on loan? I just hope Tommy isn't looking for a Kennedy replacement on the left-wing. Saturday showed that 5-3-2 with wing-backs suits Tanser and Wright much more readily and allows us to play much more fluidly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Well as we now know it's pretty much left up to Tommy to scout etc in regards to transfer targets. So it's no wonder that he often relies on signing proven or trusted players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankland isn’t a great example. He scored lots of goals in the second tier, then went to another second tier club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that list of clubs, it looks to me like his agent is trying to get him a move and so has identified some teams who might be looking for a striker in the hope of one of them taking a look just to find out why they are being linked with him!

Pat McGroin Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I also wonder why Hartlepool would be trying to pimp their front line out in the one transfer window. The big boy up top for Killie just signed from them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Good signing by the sounds of it. ICT fans say hes a left footed CB, can overplay a bit but that's been getting coached out. Big, strong and fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
