JC has said he's after wingers. Probably only get one and it's likely to be a left sided one. As much as I'd like to see someone with a good left peg signed, I'd like to see Dean Shiels if he's available. Thoughts?

Think he signed a new deal fairly recently and is very much in John Collins plans

 

Don't know where I heard it, but remember hearing that he was a backup for Collins and that he would let him leave and Shiels wanted first team football. Nominal fee maybe?

why do we want a hibs reserve?! had a look at there league position? there team are full of over rated erratic kids...and shields still doesnt play!!

 

Always a negative comment. Forget about his pecking order status in the Hibs team. He's behind players like Sproule, Brown, Zemmama and Fletcher who would all probably get a game for us. That's probably Hibs strongest position as far as quality in numbers goes so you've got to look at the bigger picture here.

can we not play clark left wing???

 

Jimmy seems to like having him in the middle and he likes playing there, that's why Dempsey has been stuck out there for spells this season and he has no pace which is no use

But what is Clark's position?

 

To be honest he's never struck me as much of a winger. Can't skin anyone, has no left foot (yet we always play him on the left wing), crossing is pretty poor.

 

Shooting is generally poor too, although he scored a cracker against Falkirk.

 

His passing is generally good.

 

Jimmy seems to rate him though! Ever present in the league this season.

That would piss me off as a player. Not knowing where you're gonna get played or constantly getting played in a position that's not your strongest.

Affore mentioned Clark may have to be moved to right wing back tomorrow if Hart does not shake off his injury!!

The best thing Chris Clark did last Saturday was one great run up the right wing followed by a great cross which should have had a striker busting a gut to get on the end of. Playing out wide is where he is at his most effective, with him on one side and "Jinky" on the other (left or right) we don't need to waste money on another wide player. Barry Nic and Chris Mcguire can both play there too.

Lets face it we rarely play it out wide anyway, preferring the long back-to-front punt up the park to Brewster or Miller.

JC should look to get an central midfielder with energy & vision who can pull a defence about a bit. (A sort of Lee Richardson type player)

 

Is there no-one in Poland that fits the bill? It could put a couple of thousand on the attendance too!

Hence the reason why we need more variation in our game by having players capable of getting at full backs and getting a cross in

Is Shiels actually a winger ?  Thought he was an attacking midfielder.

 

What about the Celtic lad O'Brien on loan at Dunfermline ? - looked good against us and has backed that up with some more good perfomances. Played on the right against us - not sure if he can play on the left too.
