Montana Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 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.

mizer Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Is he not injury prone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetchuck Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy_Don Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Is he not injury prone? 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotfree Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Only 18 goals in 91 game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetchuck Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcorner Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I think Higdon is pish! Would rather have Foran tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mg_don Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Higdon has never impressed when I have seen him against us. Would not be good move imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I think Higdon is pish! Would rather have Foran tbh. Not if Foran wants £6k a week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonoftherock Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonefish100 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 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.

stoney Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daals heid Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Higdon and Miller, slowest strikeforce in the SPL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
