Another "safe" player, like tom taiwo, wont set the world a light but will be a decent addition

Don't know much about him but with around 250 first team games at varying levels he'd bring a good bit of experience with him. Doesn't look like he'd bring us the goals that we're needing from our midfielders tho !

Given how effectively Motherwell scout the English lower leagues I'm happy for us to be linked with the same players that they are.

Seem to remember him being a decent signing on FM from Middlesborough.

On that entirely scientific basis, I'd say get him signed :greengrin

Griffiths, Craig, Doyle, Taiwo.

I was meaning more on these greggs rumours threads.

Griffiths was mentioned in every transfer window for the past 3-4 years
Craig Wasn't
Doyle was signed before anyone had heard of him
And can't remember about tiawo so maybe

If Jason Kennedy is another "he breaks up attacks", unathletic, never gonna score a goal midfielder, I'm out.

Yes, I have seen the above goal!

I doubt it, Fenlons team have struggled this season, and none of the players he's brought to the club have done this once. I really fear for us now, this could be the one we dont survive, and i'm afraid relegation finally looks odds on?

This lad Kennedy is another DMC?

It's not really what we need, I am not a top stato but I know Deegan hasn't scored a goal for us, neither has Taiwo and I don't think Claros has.

Desperate need of attack minded, athletic midfielders who know roughly where the goals are.

I know we have Cairney but his lack of athleticism means he should only be used in the top third of the pitch, not dropping to the half way line to pick the ball up.

Claros won't be here. Signing another player in this position wouldn't stop us signing other more attacking players.

'as Easter Road fans anxiously await boss Pat Fenlon’s first January arrival'

What a ***** piece of journalism, the majority aren't 'anxiously' waiting for our 'first arrival', most are delighted at the extensions of Griffiths and McGivern and, although we would like to see more come in, we're hardly ****ing panicking.

Don't think anybody is anxious or losing any sleep over things but most people would be disappointed if there are no new faces in the squad for the second half of the season.

Of course people are delighted to not be seriously weakened by the loss of Griffiths and McGivern but surely most would have hoped for some creativity and pace added in midfield to help us in a push for Europe. IMO the same squad as the first half of the season with the loss of Sproule the only significant change so far isn't yet strong enough to challenge for that.

Genius!

You say "seems like we will be getting him"

Evening News article - which you gave a link to - says: Hibs linked to him and according to English news reports us and Motherwell are interested.

Hope you never got a shirt printed with his name yet.

I think I preferred yesterday's Jason Kennedy thread.

If we're looking for a spoiler in the midfield, what about Craig Rocastle?

No it`s not.From SW Scotland. Never heard of the guy, what I do know is that we don't need another holding midfielder, even if Claros goes.

I give you Tawio, Deegan, and Stevenson, 3 extremely similar centre defensive midfielders. When Claros leaves we will STILL have these 3 along with Cairney and Wotherspoon. We need an attacking minded midfielder.

It could very well be that come next season we don't have deegan or claros.

If Fenlon thinks that's likely then I have no problem with him getting in a replacement on a pre-contract.

I'd be surprised if Hibs, or Motherwell, are bidding for anyone this month. Maybe a pre-contract offer.
Another defensive midfielder does not exactly set the pulse racing (and that photo makes him look about 56!) but Claros may be away this month and Deegan & Stevenson are out of contract in the summer, although I'm sure Fenlon would like to keep both.
Wylde was quick and direct during his time at Ibrox and he should have something to prove, having been frozen out at Bolton.
He'll also know Hanlon, Wotherspoon & Griffiths from his Scotland U21 days.
The team is screaming out for width and pace - something Liam Craig will not supply by the way. He is another that likes to play in the middle and quick he aint...
Surely Rod is telling Pat to recruit younger players with sell-on potential. Wylde is on a big bucks three-year deal, so we won't get him. Aaron Doran is soon to be out of contract at ICT - only 21 (and Irish, Pat :wink:) - he could do a grand job for us on the left.
