Cannot find the article I was reading earlier but it was saying 9 academy players from St Johnstone, Dundee, Celtic Hibs, Dundee United and Dons all went this window.
Reading club statement I think it reads like he is here to go into first team squad.
Hartley said a couple of weeks back that losing Emsile and Marshall back to Aberdeen was his biggest concern for the window so assuming he was doing well. Had considered heading to Livingston v Cove cup game on Saturday to see how they were getting on.
Actually that’s a point he played for Cove in pervious rounds so is cup tied for Sunday.
Going to become a waste of time clubs in Scotland developing young players. Even Victims cannot hang on to young players with 18 year old striker Cummings allegedly going to West Ham.
My brother who is season ticket holder at Dens has suggested him training with the reserves and not kicking a ball from now until end of the season would be his preferred option.
Hearts allegedly signing Harry Milne from Partick.
Again apologies for the source. Vaguely remember we kicked the tires on him when he was at Cove. Decent left back and might have made a good replacement for Mackenzie in the summer.
Still think he would be a better option for the 10 to 15 minutes at the end of games that Ambrose gets. Admittedly a traffic cone is probably a better option than Ambrose. Boyd does look lightweight but he did last season and still managed to score. I would like to have seen him played or put on loan to league 2 side at least.
Boyd’s lack of game time has been puzzling to say the least. Looked decent when he got on last season but not been given any time this season which cannot be helping his development. If there is no intention of giving him game time here surely we should have put him out on loan to get him game time.
My biggest frustration with Palaversa is the number of times he gives the ball away. Any pass over 10m is a gamble. Jury’s out on him for me.
Don’t agree the signings have crap since McInnes. We have probably had a slightly above average hit rate and made a fair profit over last few years.
Agree with rest of Rico’s assessments other than Ambrose. I don’t think he has been that good.
Nisbet is biggest disappointment for me. Thought as long as we got him fit he would score goals for us but it’s just not worked for whatever reason. Part of it is lack of supply/him not fitting the style of play. He kept coming deep yesterday to get the ball and not mobile enough to then get into the box. Even when he did Ambrose was usually in his way.
That was fucking awful. Beaten again by a team that didn’t even play particularly well to beat us without breaking sweat. Some of our players are clearly not footballers. MacKenzie probably our best player and should have started.
Manger subs today looked like those of someone who is running out of ideas.
