This one is about getting the right player to help us develop the way we want to play so happy to go with that. We are definitely missing a presence upfront.

And when Boyce (and ginnelly) doesn’t play we look like a different team with no bite at all.

I thought we’d be bringing in a striker not to play alongside him but to let him rest a bit more as he’s having to play every game where he can.  If we’re just looking for a presence upfront why did we get rid of Uche?  Just being a presence isn’t good enough.


I’m not going to write him off before seeing him btw I’m just bored of the constant need for a target man because 9 times out of 10 they’re shit and ineffective for us. I’m guessing this is a Savage signing tho so worth seeing how it plays out.

He’s only 23 so his previous goal scoring record isn’t that much of a concern for me. Our previous signing record definitely is though Warnock We’ve signed quite a few guys of his age with shan records in the English lower leagues in the last few years, so sceptical at best about this guy Laugh

Warnock

Now not convinced this isn’t somehow a Levein signing.

Uche was shite and we had the chance to get rid Vlad Shrug

Just about having different options. Boyce, Wighton, Naismith is too similar.

Savage will hopefully have seen this guy in real life rather than Wyscout so happy to see how this one goes.

fair enough I wouldn’t argue against uche being shite, just don’t want to bring in another player who is earmarked for their physicality than technique as it rarely seems to work out for us.

Who would you say is the last decent physical target man we had? I’m not sure if I’d say Laff was a target man even though he was quite big.

Got to be Kevin Kyle surely? Plenty of failed efforts since then, signed more because 'we need a target man' than because there was reason to believe they'd be any good.

MDV was my first though but he was ages ago.

Think it would probably need to be Kyle, think how many efforts we’ve had in between the names that come to mind Fat Cunt

I don’t mind having big physical strikers if they can play fitba but the ones we sign rarely can Laugh Maybe if we started approaching some decent leagues when looking for a TM we’d have a bit better luck Quite Good

The answer is 100% Kevin Kyle, the fact he got crippled after 6 months notwithstanding.

I don't get the John Murray shouts. Preston signed plenty of lower league English players while Savage was chief scout, including Ginnelly from Walsall so I'd expect he'll be well aware of him.

People have been banging on about Motherwell and Aberdeen finding these boys and saying it’s what we should be doing, make your minds up lads :Monty Oh Well 

Disclaimer: not overly excited by him but I’m not going to write him off based on Levein’s history when he’s not in the building anymore.

Is this guy a target man? Difference between being tall and being a target man I think.

Options are good.

Hekens

We can’t just write off every single signing that we make based on our previous history, especially when the previous cause of this has left the building.

I’m up for giving him a fair crack of the whip, let’s see what he can bring to the table and take it from there.

100% agree. None of us would have ever described Ricardo Fuller as a target man, but he was tall.

Disclaimer: not claiming this guy is even in the same league as Fuller.
