A midfielder.

A central midfielder.

Are we shipping out a central midfielder/s ?

Wouldn't surprise me at all. Nothing that goes on in Stubbs' head would surprise me any longer.

I was speaking to a Hearts fan yesterday who told me he heard that Hibs want Stephen McGinn..... Surely not..

That’s got to be the answer
Someone needs to get a grip of this guy and and get him told to do his job properly or tell him to do one!

As I understand things.... the player has been involved in 90 plus Premiership Games. 

If he comes,  then he brings experience. 

There has already been speculation  that we might ship out 1 or more midfielders.

As I mentioned before , I met Lewis Stevenson in Majorca and he was singing Stephen's praises , said Lennon rated him highly following the turning over we gave them in 2017. That was the night that Lennon said to John McGinn after the match  "You're not even the best player in your own house " !

The guy is a rotten footballer and not even close to what we require positionally.
This is a woefully imbalanced relegation squad if ever i’ve seen one.

2 Million and he can have him.

Killie cram as many into both stands behind the goals when they play the old firm 🤭

Based on 3 home games against them at £25, Killie will have around 24000 away fans. We will have 9600 so Killie will make around 280K more than us from the bigots after vat. That is how they can get players that we can't.

Another central midfielder you say?... joyous.

Lennon,s already   said he  rates Stephen McGinn , remember the " he,s not even the best midfielder in his own house " comment aimed at John McGinn a couple of seasons back  .

Edwards is a bizarre (possible) signing.

How many centre mids do we need

McGinn
Jones
Willock
Magennis
Kirkpatrick
McShane
Flynn
McPherson

Who can all play in the middle while we have one outright Winger (King, who can’t get a sniff).

Genuinely can’t get my head around this one!

Forgot Erhahon

[Hendo 3,009]

Edwards signed for Hearts in the summer, which makes me think he'd be another loan signing. FWIW I think he's not a bad player, but plays in a position we definitely don't need anyone.

Centre half, left midfield, striker and back up goalie. Got that Stubbsy?  Now repeat after me...centre half, left...

I assumed he was talking shit so I just commented that they were welcome to him for nowt if they took some of Stubbs 

signings as well.. I have a meeting with him on Thursday I'll ask him where he got his source, Cnuts got me worried now..

[linwood buddie 3,194]

Imagine the kick up if both Cammy and Top Bin were allowed to leave?

[Doakes 2,983]

Here's my speculation

Stephen McGinn only signed as a favour to Jack Ross. He's openly said that the players we've signed ain't experienced enough for this level. McGinn can say that as he knows he has something lined up elsewhere. Stubbs knows that and is bringing in this guy.

Cammy Smith to leave by Friday is also a strong rumour. Now the new centre mid makes a bit more sense.

With budget now available, we bring in another centre mid. Forum implodes. P&B goes down. Lynch mob appears at the doors of the SDA....  

 

 

Seriously though. This is getting out of hand.

Why do folk keep quoting Ryan Flynn as a central midfielder when he’s played his entire career playing wide?

He’s too slow now to play wide similar to ryan giggs winger all his life towards the end of his career played more central.

We badly need abit of pace on the wings to cause teams a problem and a decent cb imo we don’t have 1.

A decent striker would be good also and a back up gk last thing we need is a ryan Edwards type player

[linwood bud 83]

Looks like we’re missing out in Miller, going to Dundee by all accounts

Is it possible it could be this Ryan Edwards, he has a lot in common with Stubbs, a Centre Half from Liverpool who has just recovered 

from testicular cancer..... Would make more sense than another CM...

[aldo_j 2,156]

If Edwards comes in and Smith goes then I’m done until Stubbs chucks it.

ridiculous signing.

That would be highly amusing if Raman has got the wrong Ryan Edwards.
