Absolutely the player we need. Shows great skill and decent creativity and gets shunned out of the squad because Martindale doesn't like him. Panayiotou was and still is the weirdest signing for us over the last few seasons. Total panic signing and again should have got a CB on the wage bill over him every day. However he has shown good hold up play when given his chance but from Martindales recent press stuff, looks like he's away on a permanent deal. Hamilton being offered a new deal is one I'm pleased with but he needs a run in the team for him to find his place and his form. Hasn't started a single game this season which isn't really going to help his confidence in any way. That's a shame about Kabia, i really rate him, right nuisance of a player that has wound up the likes of Brown and Rooney, making them lose the rag with him. Reckon he could be a right good player for us. Hamilton is never going to fit in as a lone striker the system we want to play, he hasn't the pace to press defenders, or even out run them in a straight up foot race. Really should've cut across the Aberdeen defender when he tried that, to slow him down and it would've either bought him a few yards or a foul if he got piled into. That should be getting coached into him though. I think if we played him as a target man for someone like Anderson to play off him, and also having Anderson doing the leg work pressing defenders, it would work, Hammy's also a decent finisher inside the box. However i'm not sure we'll even play a system that suits him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) I wouldn't be signing anyone to sit in the stands hence why I don't think we need another centre back (barring a serious injury *touch wood it won't be necessary*). Another goalkeeper is the only addition we need based on recent performances. I would be looking to move on some of the back-up players as well. If they are not fancied, save money on their wages in case a top quality player becomes available.

Jnels Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Thoughts on the game, thought we played shocking first half, we never really played the ball down the middle it was always down the wings when it never worked until about 5 minutes to go , would have be good if we snuck it right at the end, a draw was lucky but a points a point. Shinnie is no striker , Omeonga unreal again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thruthenight Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Not sure where this 'Martindale doesn't rate Kabia' stuff comes from? He was always on the fringes as he's young and has a lot to learn, and then he had a serious injury earlier in the season. Sending him out on loan for the second half to get game time and come back fit for the start of next season sounds like a no brainer to me, he's not going to get much game time here. He's clearly got the potential 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone suggesting we'll be letting him go permanently this window is talking shite unless it's someone stumping up cash. He's never said he doesn't rate him, and he's just back from a bad injury. Doesn't help that we've got other great wingers at the club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durnford Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 When Kabia originally joined us I'm sure Martindale said the aim was to loan him out immediately. The next we knew was he came on as a sub at Celtic and got Brown sent off. I'm not sure he was ever viewed as being ready to immediately step into the first team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLIS Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Bring back Gallagher on a 6 month loan That'll sort the CB spot out - Martindale would end up going back to a 3 at the back again though Edited December 20, 2021 by ATLIS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pretty confident comments? Not heard anything to back it up to be fair though, usually these things tend to leak out a bit but heard almost nothing. Can only imagine something has happened behind the scenes because at the start of the season he looked like a potential first team player 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thruthenight Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Well, that would be sad if that's the case. Jaze will do alright in the game, would have liked to have seen him do it with us. Imrie is now the favourite for the Morton job, which would also f**k with us a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we've had similar things happen in the past, I think it was Liam Watt in the League 1 season who had family members come on here defending him etc. I'd take it with a pinch of salt but he's 100% one for the future and a loan wouldn't do him any harm. I'm a bit worried at the prospect of losing Imrie before the academy even kicks off in January. We need to find a strong replacement for him ASAP. Also seeing Bartley linked with the Ayr Utd job with Mathie taking over there for footballing operations. We could be down a Head of Youth Development and an Assistant Manager within weeks. Although hopefully a vacant assistant spot gives Martindale the chance he needed to bring in a bit of experience we really desperately need 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Panayiotou was supposed to be heading to us on loan, we had him in training & playing in bounce games but he was apparently unfit & so unimpressive that we have passed up on him. Disappointed as he had been linked for ages & was excited to see what he would bring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was utterly hilarious and some proper meltdown heads gone material from her.Imrie I would be gutted if he left. Leaves a safe job in our academy and coaching team to go to a clearly poor and very much struggling Morton.

ayrunitedfw Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Heard from a couple of different sources that Marvin Bartley is going to our man. No idea if people are just putting 2+2 together with the Mathie connection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Panayiotou is done at Livi, we're trying to get him out on loan till the end of the season then punt him. Hopefully to Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
