After Foran falling through I was told by a friend that Higdon was an option for us.

 

Apparently we had already approached Higdon prior to attempting to sign Foran to create a fallback position.

 

Fits Jimmys desire to have a 'bigger' team, affordable, wages within budget, I reckon he would be a good addition certainly is a handful and gets stuck right in.

 

Only stumbling block is the commute for his family already 3 hours from pool to Falkirk

 

Will wait and see...

 

Not usually one for rumours but hey ho fuck all else going on.

Is he not injury prone?

If not injury-prone, would be a good signing, IMHO. 9 goals in 14 games is not a bad return, and he always looked decent against us.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Higdon

 

He has also been linked with a move to Aberdeen with Jimmy Calderwood stating in the Press and Journal that "he is good to have around the place".

 

:lolabove:

Only 18  goals in 91 game!

19 in 95, surely? Certainly according to Wikipedia, anyway; haven't checked Soccerbase and the like.

 

Anyway, no doubt may of those 95 appearances were as a young loon at Crewe. Remember that he would have been competing with the likes of Dean Ashton and Luke Varney for a starting berth at that time, so no shame in such an apparently poor record.

 

Anyway, a better test of his capabilities would surely be his time spent at Falkirk (during which he scored regularly), no?

I think Higdon is pish! Would rather have Foran tbh.

I agree from what I've seen of Higdon he's not great, Im hoping we'll sign somebody better than him and Foran.

Higdon has never impressed when I have seen him against us. Would not be good move imo.

Not if Foran wants £6k a week!

Sadly Higdon would probably go straight into our starting line-up.  He is better than Mackie and Bebo, therefore would probably be a useful signing.

Meh

 

Not a standout for a mediocre Falkirk side.

 

Mon to fuck Jimmy, pull a surprise out of the hat and sign someone who doesnt play in the SPL, Dutch 2nd division or League 2. There must be hunners of players looking for a club this summer.

9 goals playing for an average side - not a bad return

 

better then mackie and bebo - never know how he might play with a player like miller - maybe he just needs better players around him.

 

Cant be any worse then lovell turned otu to be

Higdon and Miller, slowest strikeforce in the SPL
