Hayes is better and more influential up the pitch. Link to comment

slippers Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 What’s happened to Karamoko Dembele at Celtic? The guy that made debut for 21s at ridiculous age. See he’s out of contract in summer. Assume he’s going to be the next Islam Feruz and will end up at a European super house and never make it. Maybe coming to a club like Aberdeen and actually playing would benefit him short term even if it was on less money. I know it will never happen but obviously with Brown part of the setup now who knows who he would like to take from Celtic? Link to comment

It's his lesser known brother at Peterborough who has flourished and looks like going for multi-millions in the summer Karamoko always looked to be too small to ever make it to the top level of football. I know that Billy Gilmour isn't that much bigger, but he really is an elite talent. I don't believe Dembele is. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Watched him the other week. Yes, he's worth a look. It's the kind of one if we had a modern structure in place that the Board maybe buy him and loan him out (eg in this case loan him to caley) with no involvement from the first team manager Link to comment

Hendry is out of contract and wouldn't cost any compensation. Apparently he's a big Hibs fan and Jack Ross is interested in him. Link to comment

Just assumed he was a weegie since he came from Celtic but yeah, Edinburgh born. A Hibs fan? I'm out. He is meant to be a decent baller though. I'm sure one of Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen or Utd will take a punt on him since no fee. Would say Hibs are top heavy with MFs already though. Not sure they'd be in for him. More likely Hearts just cos we need a rebuild, again, and need to get our age down. We also have zero creativity. I'd worry he's a talented luxury player though. I like McGregor at Inverness too. But in contract til 2022. Link to comment

Gave our entire back four a hard time single handedly. One of the best striker performances I've seen against us for ages. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 He was struggling to get anything more than a place on the bench earlier in the season. And is the wrong side of 30 now.....I thought he was a youngish loon. According to wiki, there was an option for a further year's contract at Livi. Presumably he wants to find a club back south if they've said he won't be there next year. It's a no from me Link to comment

ThomohawkKid Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Zak Rudden seems be scoring a few at the moment for Partick, could he be the next nisbet? Could be worth a punt as a 4th choice if he keeps it up. Link to comment

But let go due to injury. Rebuilding his career. Rangers may have a buy back. Link to comment

Speaking of thumbs, everyone had heard of Griffiths while he was at Livingston doing well. Everyone had heard of Snodgrass. Even further back Novo, Agathe were known (ok I'm smashing the archives now). Then Nisbett recently. Who was the last player we signed for the first team from the lower league? Paul Sheerin? Clearly the fact all my examples are in their 30s or 40s now shows theres not many gems to be had... but sometimes there are guys who stand out and we never seem to go into that market.

Yep shouting about this for ages now, we clearly cannot compete with the Huns Celtic in the transfer market so our model should always have been to snap up the young players, boy at Inverness is looking good as is the striker young boy at queens of the south.as was the likes of Lewis Morgan and hickey,always far to slow at trying to pinch these players and by the time we do the huns or Celtic or English teams take them.Ali boy from st Johnstone is another and Campbell free signing would be a no brainer, but alas nothing. So what is our model?.go with youth through our under squads?, looking forward to bringing through players of McLennans talent!,not Link to comment
