    I'll probably be in the minority, but it's a shake of the head no from me.

    Suppose if you can score 14 goals in the top league, common sense says he'll get more in the championship. Between SMc JC and Jk that is a fair amount of goals.

    Good player. Would be a good signing

    I'll probably be in the minority and not comment on player speculation at all, nor even if someone's signed - and trust in a manager that has delivered at the top of the Scottish game and some.

    Would rather have Ronald McDonald.

    He's a good player, only 32 and was still scoring goals last season.

    Does he compliment what we've got ? Could do with his experience. - might help develop what he have - not sure he is too much different though ...

    Not fussed about Heskey, but McDonald is a very good finisher. I think he'd take more of the chances our other forwards missed last season.

    You need to remember that promotion THIS season is paramount, we need to take and create more chances, McDonald in my opinion would help.

    If this is just a one year deal, fine we must go up.

    I think Mcdonald would be a decent signing - he works hard, links play well and knows where the goal is.

    Would still like to see us add a more physical striker who is decent in the air if budget allows (and Id imagine it would).

    He is surely better than Dagnall and so would improve that position from last year.

    That would still leave getting in a different option in the Farid mould.

    Yep, surely we'll be adding more than one forward anyway, so we could bring in McDonald and a more physical striker.

    With feet that big he would score for fun.

    I think you answered your own question. Good finisher and may just get us the goals that take us up. I'd happily take him for at least a season.

    Maybe we should sign Basile Boli as well based on your logic?

    Would he get a club car or a tiny wee bike?

    Spoke to a Motherwell supporter at work there and he's gutted McDonald is leaving. Seemed to indicate it was about money and they couldn't match what he wanted. The boy still rates him though.

    Tbh, I've been really impressed with the signings we have made over the past four windows, which have been progressive and forward thinking. I'm willing to allow the background staff and Lennon leeway to sign players he is confident will get us out of this league.

    Is Lennon back from France yet or does he have a rolling contract to stay in France as long as NI are in the competition?

    Would be very pleased with him joining us. Natural goal scorer and almost a pest to defences. Great experience and would help Keats and Jason.

    Too similar to Keats, would better spending budget on a different type of striker - physicality required.

    Players like Stokes, Henderson, McGeough were head turners. This other lot aren't exactly that are they?

    I'm not worried though as I think we'll see Henderson back.

    Was McGeough a head turner when we first brought him in? All I remember was a lot of mumping and moaning because we had been promised Leigh Griffiths and ended up with a 'Celtic reserve'.

    As always there seems to be a mass panic developing based on what has essentially been dismissed as a lie about Heskey and Bell, having a look at a goalkeeper in training and attempting to sign a player with a fine, recent goalscoring record in the league above us.

    Would be really happy to see him arrive and he would bolster the squad and our forward options
