Tartan blood Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 2 hours ago, romanticscot said: Newcastle are being very smart, they have built a team. With all their cash, can we name any marquee names they brought in yet here they are in the top three. Newcastle deserve every success coming their way. If Tierney and/or McTominay land there it truly would be an excellent career move. Not sure they "deserve" it, but I agree they are, so far, being smart about it. I'm all in for Tierney and McTominay going there though. Definitely worth the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell he's 20 and his only senior appearance to date was against Oxford United in the League Cup when he came on as sub.

Aye, played for the 21s and was rotten, albeit under Gemmil so we can perhaps give him the benefit of the doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few papers have him linked with them clubs, like you say a mystery player however I have seen him described as the Scottish Bellingham from Birmingham Live so that's his career going down hill then.

"Scottish Bellingham" 😂 He might wear the same size boots as Bellingham but that's most probably where the similarity ends. I suspect his agent's up to something.

Aye, a lot of people apparently do, apart from Russell Martin, his manager at mid-table Championship Swansea City, who only played him once last season. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was exceptional in the Uefa Youth League and his reward was what exactly? The clubs are giving it 'wa wa wa the rich EPL are stealing our players' but he's 18 and one of their best youth prospects and they haven't given him any kind of chance at all. Of course he is going to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford (or any English team at or above the Championship) can offer better wages, better facilities, better coaches, better youth football level, higher quality team mates, better everything really. The one thing a team like Hibs can offer is first team football and the prestige, career progression and status that goes with it. If they don’t offer that then why bother staying, the offer down south is far more compelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csinclair Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Just seen that Rangers have signed Dujon Sterling which would make Adam Devine 3rd choice behind him & Tavernier. Hopefully Devine can get a loan somewhere for some first team football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csinclair Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Michael Rose released by Coventry. Linked with Aberdeen though he's said he'd like to stay in England. Seemed to do consistently ok at Coventry before falling out of favour at the start of this year. Was touted for a callup last season when both him and Hyam were being watched.

Not sure about his contract status but the bid is meant to be lower than the one accepted in January. You would think with his form since coming back from injury that it would at least be the same. Personally I think he will struggle in the championship but hope im proved wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
