Looks like the new management have the same opinion. Ample helping of humble pie for the individuals who rubbished the post. That aged well Superb signing and as predicted nominal fee 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think one more centre half and striker could really allow us to push for the top end of the league. This is not going to be popular, however, I'm still a little concerned about the RB situation. Young Finn's great, but I do think he may struggle a bit a league up and, although the reports are very good, we don't know if Adams will be able to make the step up. Morton have just signed Ballantyne from Airdrie; I'd have been happy to take him because he's predominantly a RB but can play anywhere across the back, which would have given us back-up for more than one position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m more than happy if he starts with Yeats at right back tbh. His performances last season merit him getting the opportunity to consolidate the position a level up. For the first time for years I 150% trust our management team to make the correct decisions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. As I say, he's been great and completely deserves the right to start. I just hope I'm worrying for nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it when either of the ugly sisters adopt a song a like though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big chungus Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Hibs stating “the terms of the transfer will remain undisclosed, however the deal does include a sell on fee”. So my interpretation is we haven’t paid anything but a large sell on clause has been included. If that’s true, happy with that and very good business 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One off poster Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Have to confess that I didn't think we'd get Tait back but I'm so pleased to wrong. Great news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 As said class player that looked special after coming on as a sub at Alloa. Brilliant bit of business and can’t wait for the new season. Two more players and we’re not far off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 II felt confident about Tait. Paper talk a few weeks back was that he was leaving Hibs and coming to us. Didnt see it going another way. Delighted. Re the Finn Yeats talk. I'm fine with him starting at RB, but I do think, owing to his physical development last season, he might surprise a bit. when/if he goes back to midfield. He was a bit easily bullied in the middle when he first broke through. He'd give a few a fright that tried it now IMO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love another centre half (one that can also play right back if I'm being greedy) and a centre forward but even without either, if we can avoid too many injuries I think we're in good shape for the season ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it only take one injury (to Maciver) to have us struggling up front. Another striker would be my top priority- possibly a loan if there’s one available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Terrific bit of business getting Tait back. 5 minutes ago, One off poster said: I'd love another centre half (one that can also play right back if I'm being greedy) and a centre forward but even without either, if we can avoid too many injuries I think we're in good shape for the season ahead. Agreed. A versatile defender that can play full back and centre half and another striker ideally. Not sure we will get them though, that said it's more when not if Allan heads out the door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
