I know he's from Aberdeen originally. Do his family still stay there? I'd imagine he'd get more cash elsewhere, so unless he wants to "come home" i can't see that as a goer. Would be a marque signing though for sure and i'm sure he'd still have plenty to offer both on the pitch and as an influence to guys like Scott Wright.

giblet Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Charlie Mulgrew speaking to HIbs about potential move according to Agent Scotland on twitter (despite his Sellick partisan stance, is usually on the money). Good news that McGregor has signed a new two year deal. Best Scottish centre half in the Premier League next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamntg Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 United have signed James Keatings on apre-contract. He can't be any worse than Simon Murray anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Christophe Berra has apparently told Ipswich he won't be renewing his contract and is coming back to Scotland to be nearer his family. I'd assume he'll end up back at Hearts. Rangers are apparently close to a deal for Rashid Sumalia and keen on Bruno Alves. Sumalia worked with Caixhina out in Qatar so that one would make sense but I'd imagine Alves would be out of our price range even at 35.

We seem to be targeting the 2 CHs I mentioned and I'd assume one of Wilson/Kiernan will still be there next season so not sure it will be us. He'd definitely improve us though. Not that that's saying much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Q Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 The Berra rumour has been doing the rounds since before Christmas. I've a feeling he'll end up at Rangers, even at this stage in his career he might be looking for too much for us in terms of wages. Wouldn't have thought Hibs could afford Mulgrew either, he'd be a good signing for them though if they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think of John Terry coming through the ranks to be a regular at Chelsea in recent times and since he made his debut "notable" players we've brought through would include Allan McGregor, Alan Hutton, Charlie Adam, Chris Burke, Barrie Mckay, Maurice Ross (pish but was an international player), Stevie Smith, Danny Wilson, Gregg Wylde who all went on to have decent runs in the first team before moving on. I've not counted any of the players (with the exception of McKay) who all came in to the squad when we were relegated...as that doesn't really count....

Fairbairn Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 A bit of movement at Rangers. Hyndman apparently away back to Bournemouth as out till the end of the season with an injury. Hill has also been told his years deal won't be extended. He's easily been our best defender but at 37 we should be looking at younger options. Like 35 year old Bruno Alves!! Also continued rumours about Naismith coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
