I suspect Birmingham wouldn't even answer the phone to us after we ripped the utter cunt out of them with Cosgrove. 6 Link to comment

Ke1t Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 He's 22, and they keep loaning him out rather than trying to integrate him into the team. A fringe player, if you will... certainly not a 2 million pound player... I think they might be easy enough to deal with. Link to comment
RED_JOHN Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 In all honesty I am hoping for more inspiring signings than that. We need players in who can get the juices flowing. Link to comment

AyrshireSheep Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Club apparently offering a pre-contract to Graeme Shinnie next month. Thoughts? Personally would love him back but he'll have big offers from down south. But with Longstaff already gone, Ferguson likely away in Summer at the latest and McGeouch and Ojo out of contract in the summer it wouldn't be the worst move if we could somehow pull it off Link to comment

Good captain and effective box to box midfielder at this level but none of the others who have came back the wrong side of 30 have done as well as their first spells,and probably shouldn't be expected to in reality. So on that basis I think we should be looking for the next up and coming midfielder rather than turning back the clock. Nae sure he'll have the big offers that you think down south but will get a gig in Scotland nae bother at all. 2 Link to comment

On one hand, he was excellent first time round, but how many returning players turn out to be a bit of a disappointment and tarnish their legacy. On the other hand, I would hate to see him a the likes of hibs or hearts, where I could see him being a real success. Link to comment

But how i'd hate to see him at any other team up here. Imagine Brown and Shinnie in the same midfield? Refs would need to carry a fucking notepad for all the bookings we'd be getting. Link to comment
Torry Tosser Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Can't see it,with the trouble Derby are in they'll need all the troops to try stay up.He's also a regular choice by Rooney. Link to comment
Guest Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Would love Shinnie back. We need more leaders, Sunday showed that, without the big crowd there, we toiled against a team we should make light work of. If it wasn't for Dundee keeper being a flapper, we'd have had a really disappointing draw. No Brown and there's a real lack of leadership. You always need bastards in your side, we've got Brown at the minute but no other cunt. Shinnie will get a championship club offer for another 2 years before he considers coming back to Scotland.

Exept for Brown. I think its a no brainer if possible but we were promised youthful signings but most of our summer signings that have actually made a decent impact are 30 or older. Link to comment

He’s only just turned 30 so not that old, think he would be like brown has this season and him and brown together even for a season would be very good. Link to comment

Full of shit. But to play along, I’d be against it. Attitude is spot on, but he’s actually quite limited. Spent a lot of the time chasing & tackling back after he’d given the ball away.

No problem at all. But the issue with these signings is that he'll probably get a 3 year deal to entice him back. So inevitably in 2 years time he'll be getting stick for being a 'wage thief' like McGinn, Logan and now Hayes got once his powers start to wane. 1 Link to comment

Their biggest asset on a football pitch was their speed, when that goes they are limited. Shinnie could be like brown, play for longer by keeping himself fit sit back and read the game.

Bournemouth Gee Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 If Ferguson and Ramsay are heading out, plus hopefully a few others, Shinnie is the sort of signing we will need. Can't mess about, give him what he wants!!! 1 Link to comment

Shinnie's biggest attributes are also physical though. His stamina and ability to run up and down the park all day. It's not like he's a highly technical player. Link to comment
NEM Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Shinnie would be a great signing but can’t see it Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 He’ll get a better offer than us I’d imagine. He’s been good for Derby. I’d take him back. Even if he wasn’t as good as he was last time round he’d still be a better option than the likes of Gurr, Hayes, Ojo, Longstaff etc at both full back and centre mid. Link to comment
minijc Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Signing Shinnie would a move to appease fans, nothing more and it would show the new prawcess up as well. 2 Link to comment
