Hertsscot Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 21 hours ago, TartanDave said: Stuart Findley has signed for Newcastle, out of nowhere for me that one. Is he good enough? Strange comment from Findley, “I’ve come from Celtic, who are a big team in Scotland, but to be able to leave Celtic and join a team who are just as big, if not bigger down in England is a really proud moment for me." I'm not doubting that Newcastle are a big team but I suspect its more about money and maybe not thinking he's good enough for Celtic. When we have our regular discussions about the dearth of centre halves Findley's name hasn't cropped up as a possibility. I'd be delighted if I'm wrong!

Hertsscot Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Ryan Fulton on a season long loan from Liverpool to Chesterfield. Nowhere near the Scotland team at the minute but could be one for the future. It will be interesting to see how he gets on after his loan spell at Pompey last year.

There's no way Rangers can afford Hanley at 6mil. It'll be Newcastle or Sheffield Wednesday by all accounts, tho 6mil is probably far more than the Owls would want to spend on a centerback.

So much so he didn't feature towards the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at this summer's transfer dealings it seems that all that extra money from the tele for the EPL is hyping up prices and players wages - no surprise there then.

ErsatzThistle Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Owen Coyle seems pretty determined to keep Hanley at Blackburn. All of Newcastle's bids have been thrown out. One of the papers has David Marshall possibly going to Hull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyD Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Suggestion of Mulgrew to Shefiield Wednesday. Don't know why everyone's being linked with them, but I guess they have Fletcher, Bannan, Ross Wallace and Liam Palmer, so maybe they're seen as 'likely buyers of Scots'. Not sure. Wouldn't be a bad move for him. Change of scenery might help him with his fitness and it's a level he can compete at, for sure. They have no left backs, but that's the position I think he's weakest in, so I'd hope he gets into their midfield or central defense.

Hertsscot Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Hanley now being linked to Norwich. Would be nice if he went there and partnered Martin on a regular basis but chances are Martin would be stuck as a right back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame if that goes ahead I think it would benefit Scotland having a club pairing at centre half (though I suspect Klose would actually get the nod over Russell at Norwich anyhow). We haven't had a club pairing since the heady days of McLeish/Miller or Narey/Hegarty, didn't even need McNaught/Evans from the European Champions.

Wilson and Weir played together sometimes for Rangers although Weir was near the end by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Griffiths, Rhodes & Watt can be more regular features in the squad than the depressing naming of 3 strikers; Fletcher, Naismith and C.Martin.

Regardless of ability - and I think that's debatable - there must be serious concerns about him being a disruptive influence. I just checked to see if Charlton had changed their manager from the previous one that Watt fell out with. They have, unfortunately for Watt, they replaced him with the Cardiff manager which was where he was on loan at the start of last season before they binned him as well.
