Its really poor. 13 league goals... since 2015! 5 goals in 22 for a Livingston team he couldn’t get in for ages. We can & should be looking at better. Hopefully this is folk putting 2+2 together to make anything other than 4. But he had 2 reasonable games against us!!! So he must be good!!! ? Link to comment

For a club that's just lost £10 million in the pandemic I fear this is going to be the type of player we are targeting this summer. Cheap as chips as David Dickinson would say Link to comment

Expectations on signing have been ramped up off the back of interviews with cormack and Glass. This definitely does not fit that mould. He's rotten. Look at his career stats. Two decent games against our pish poor defence isn't a reason to sign a player Link to comment
Simosmashed my knee Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I cannot believe we are allegedly looking at Clark Robertson, as previously mentioned there are numerous English based players out of contract this summer that will be freed due to clubs cutting back due to Covid. Aneke of Charlton would be better than JET. Dunne, Wallace, Hyman, McIntyre would all be a better options than Clark Robertson dependant on wage demands however we should be pushing for these better options. Link to comment

Of the absolute clusterfuck that was the January window I can understand taking the punt on Hornby. And were maybe not best placed to be lecturing anyone about attributes of a player for £2m.

Ten Caat Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I think there's a decent player somewhere in Hornby However he'll never stay fit for more than 3 games in a row to start proving it Out of the game (possibly retired) by age 27 is my guess Link to comment

Cheap as chips as David Dickinson would say We haven’t lost £10m. Our usual sources of income may be down £10m, but a large chunk of it has been made up through transfers, insurance and director investment. Link to comment

I'm sure he had one embarrassing moment regarding a signing that never happened but usually his source seems reliable enough. I'm presuming by a McInnes signing he means someone once rated very highly but has suffered at least one catastrophic injury that has hindered his career. Louis Moult would fit that bill but doubtless so would many others. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Just took a look...it's Aldo 1983 that said it. A few others have jumped on the JET bandwagon "It's Jet I'm hearing" "yeah that's who I heard" etc File under "a pile of shite" 1 Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 This will be an unpopular opinion no doubt but a one year deal as a wildcard option off the bench wouldn't be the end of the world. Gives defenders a hard time and more skilful than people give him credit for. Would be expecting much better as first choice though. Link to comment

If he ended up being the equivalent of a 3rd choice striker then maybe. 1st or even 2nd pick would be poor though. The facts & stats don’t lie. Link to comment

But if they decide to bring him in I think he could probably make a contribution off the bench. People' s emotions are too high just now. Link to comment
