FTOF Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 I seem to remember that Naismith wasn't exactly complimentary about Goodwin on Twitter at some point. That might rule out a reunion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 According to newspaper reports in the last couple of months, Naismith wants a permanent move back to Easter Rd.Unfortunately for Jason Hibs signed Paul McGinn as his replacement.

Also looking for another centre forward to compete with Jon Obika and Morias. Personally, I think 2 centre halves, a left back and two forward options are a must. Thought having 4 striking options last season was too much, ended up with 5😂 wouldn’t be sad seeing morias replaced but seems to be in the managers plans.

We actually ended up with six! Obika, Jakubiak, Morias, Cooke, Mullen and Chabbi. Obika and Morias are all that's left and given Goodwin enjoyed going with 2 up quite a lot last season, I'd be hopeful of Jakubiak returning to the club and another forward option.

Forgot all about Chabbi😂😂 yeah true, he does go with the two quite a lot, but even when we had the 4, Cooke never got a sniff, could be a wasted wage as it’s hard to find proper quality up top.

Agreed but if you are going 2 up top even 50% of the time, you definitely need a 4th forward in the squad. You saw last season what injuries and a lack of cover can do in devastating a squad. There are a lot of good options without clubs down south and you need to believe that the choice of clubs available to an out of contract player down there has narrowed significantly. I've said it before, we might get one or two players coming aboard that we'd normally have been beaten all ends up to getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morias gives the impression that he tries too hard. If JG can get him to relax a bit there might still be a future for him here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevo_smfc Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere. 25 year old Mitch Rose, a box-to-box midfielder most recently with Notts County is a target accordingly to one of the tabloids. He is the brother of Spurs player Danny Rose. On the subject of strikers, could we possibly run with Obika, Morias and one more (hopefully Jakubiak) if budget was stretched? There may be one or two midfield options who can play high up off the one striker as an alternative option? I'm not sure if there is potentially a striker within our reserves who could make up a 4th striker position. Morias gives us flexibility in games to either move out wide or partner Obika. A player with similar attributes would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please note we were the lowest scorers in the league last season, by a few goals, however we stayed up due to a meaner defence. We need to freshen up the front line with someone who can get 12 + goals a season and keep Obika. I would have liked Cooke to have made it, and I know he had a bad injury, but I'm just not sure he has the ability to step up and really worry defences in this league. I go with the argument that you need probably at least 5 strikers (a) to cover for injuries and (b) to freshen things up if anyone isn't making the grade.

rabuddies Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Of all the stupid things that Stubbs did in his less than 3 months in charge the sale of Ross Stewart to Ross County was by far the stupidest and frankly amateurish decision he made. It's now wonder that JR, who brought him to us, is now trying to lure him to Hibs (if they can find the money obviously). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get at least one more decent striker in to play alongside Obika. Not overly convinced on the Mitchell Rose signing either if it happens.

FTOF Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Centre half Joe Shaughnessy (former Aberdeen and St.J. Out of contract at Southend), the aforementioned Mitchell Rose and Alex Jakubiak, all in talks with us in today's DR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbar_bud Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Shaughnessy would be a great signing always likes the look of him but could see another team possibly offering him more cash.I liked Jakubiak as well last season, hopefully he enjoyed his time and knows he needs to settle somewhere for a couple of years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gogic was going to be playing midfield. Going by Goodwin's comments in the media today, if anything Mitchell Rose is our alternative option to Gogic.
