scotlad Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 11 hours ago, aaid said: Playing devils advocate because I can’t be arsed looking up relative performance over the last few years but exactly why should Hibs be considered a step up over Livingston. For many of the same reasons as moving from Bournemouth to Newcastle is a step up. 8 hours ago, daviebee said: Sadly, it makes fck all difference to us given his attitude and commitment. He's had everything but the fkin millennium bug to keep him off Scotland duty. That's very true. He's a good player, no question, but where Scotland is concerned he's a puller-outer par excellence . Another thing, after all this arguing, do we even know if his transfer to Newcastle is definitely on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor1996 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Apparently, Hickey to Bologna is a done deal. Which is a shame, it would've been nice to have had three kids at Bayern Munich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyBlueScot Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 I know it's dragging on with lots of false positives but it seems like Hickey will be going to Bologna. For purely personal reasons I'm so glad he didn't go to Celtic and it'll be exciting to see how he gets on. Not sure how much first team action he'll get but maybe two Scots playing in Serie A next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 It’s much better that he goes to Bologna. Will be playing at a much higher standard every week than he would do at Celtic. It’s great some of our players are going abroad... players like Collins and lambert benefitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only sticking point about the Bayern contract is that he was going to begin in the youth team. Apparently, he's going to go straight into the Bologna first team. Serie A has produced some of the best ever defenders. Hickey will be coached well, guaranteed. Craig Levein thinks he'll eventually be an anchorman, so fingers crossed.

I read it as Bristol City being bigger than QPR, where Dykes has gone. I could be wrong though. Personally, I'd bet on Martin to outscore Dykes this season, and would have Martin in the squad.

Hertsscot Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I'm not sure I know what an anchor man is. Would be nice if Bologna did us all a favour and saw his potential at right back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde1998 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Reports locally suggest that Jordan Holsgrove is set to join Celta Vigo (La Liga) from Reading. Fairly certain that would be a permanent; he wasn't listed in the squad numbers for Reading this season. Probably best for him given the situation at Reading in the past few weeks and the consequences for the season ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
