Sorry when I say learn lessons I mean directly in comparison with players who were signed with no league experience, few competitive matches even.Quote:

I’d say Charles cook would be a good signing 👍 ✍️
The profit made on Melkerson makes him anything but an epic fail.Quote:

I imagine he won't want to stay in Scotland and will use this chance to get back down the road. But if it was possible I'd be offering him pre-contract terms to persuade him to stay up here with us.Quote:

Yeah I think it will be a case of Youan and Vente sold which means as it stands all we really have is Bowie. Getting someone like Dalby signed up to replace someone like Myko/Gayle would be a good start to building up the front line. Add in a Charles-Cook and Boyle extension it begins to look a lot healthier in the options again.Quote:

Hardie from Plymouth would be a really good signing, unfortunately I think he's well out of our price range and will either be kept by Plymouth to try and fire them to promotion or sold to a decent championship teamQuote:

If he can play a few games on the trot, has had a lot of injuriesQuote:

I watched Dundee Utd quite a bit this season and tbh there were a few games where Dalby looked very ordinary ,can’t argue with his record this season though . Maybe you’re right in he just needed somewhere to kickstart his career . Be interesting to see where he ends up and if he can maintain his current form too .
I get what you mean but, Jack Iredale signed from Bolton, Cadden's last club was Barnsley and Bowie albeit it at Fulham, was playing for Northampton every week.Quote:

You would probably want them to be standing out in that league though. Only 6 goals and 1 assist for an attacking player isn't great.Quote:

I completely forgot David Turnbull existed. He was the next big thing a few years ago.Quote:

In all seriousness, from a football player side he was epic fail.
