aberdeen1970 2,840 Posted June 22 (edited) Worst news in all this is that we'll have to put up with that cunt McGregor for a bit longer. Thought we were finally shot of him. Edited June 22 by aberdeen1970 2 Share this post Link to post

If we were to take Boyce and they replaced him with Shankland that alone should get Neilson the sack. I think they'd probably want a hefty fee. And he's 31. Does he suit the style Goodwin wants and has been talking about? High energy and high pressing? I don't think he does tbh. Share this post Link to post

Offload if we can & free up a decent wage for a winger or centre forward An absolute shite bag. Fuck knows how he got his reputation. Weegies are full of shite. 3 1 Share this post Link to post

Weird signing, if it happens. Boyce has never really been an out and out goalscorer, nor a target man, more of a number 10; an injury prone, ageing, one at that. We already have one of those, Watkins Agree with earlier suggestions that maybe Hearts have enquired about Gallagher and we've said, okay, gie us Boyce. Maybe Hearts want Watkins too?

Spoken to a couple of Hearts fans i know and they don't seem to worried (other than the fact they don't want to sell to a rival club), they seem to think moving him on to free up resources to bring someone better and younger in would be a very good thing for them. For that reason, unless he's a back up then its a no from me. If Hearts fans think they can get someone better and younger in then so can we. Share this post Link to post

Neilsen could reunite the Gallagher/Halkett Livvie central defensive duo if Gallagher ended up at Tynie. Have they replaced Souttar yet? Share this post Link to post

DD1903 886 Posted June 22 Boyce would be a good signing. Moves off the ball well. Plus he scored 16 last season. Share this post Link to post
Don_Corleone 398 Posted June 22 Just now, muttonhumper said: Career stats would certainly suggest as much. Boyce is a good player at this level, and he will score goals in a decent team. I wouldn't be distraught if we signed him - in fact if it was some kind of swap for Gallagher, I'd be delighted. Share this post Link to post

Ramirez scores the same amount as him last season and are fans went nuts because he couldn’t find the net in the second half of the season, I just think after saying we are casting are net wide but end up with a guy that is the wrong side of 30/31 that knocked us back before he went to Burton is lazy recruitment Edited June 22 by Baaaaa heid Share this post Link to post

He won't put arses on seats. I still have to be convinced that 1/ this is actually true and 2/ he fits into Goodwins style of play. Lauritsen and Miovski certainly seem more suitable signings but i guess we'll see. Share this post Link to post
