Conor Washington released by Sheff Utd.... could be worth a punt....?
With Hecky as manager i am a lot more open to unknown signings but also confident that he could convince some England based players to make the move north.
Time will tell.

He’s out of contract at Villa I thought, so why would we pay £2.5m for himQuote:

Yeah, also involved with N Ireland international squad, only 26, just the kind of obscure signing I’m expecting from Hecky...Quote:

Sounds like a no-brainer. 👍Quote:

I follow a bit of the English Football League and for me they are 3 players with decent pedigree that I would target and they could improve us in either First 11 or match day squad depth. O'Hara hasn't really done it since leaving Dundee but still young enough to do a Fraser Fyvie/Dylan McGeouch turn around and Ash Taylor was a decent centre half for a decent Aberdeen side till *cough* things happened *cough*. Would happily look at either of them as potential signings for next season.
Baxter is an interesting one though, he's had a drugs issue in the past and that can put people off, and rightly so. But his old club Everton stood by him to the point where they gave him a contract, and as a player he could absolutely flourish up here I reckon. If his head was in the right place he would be worth money to someone one day. That one I would leave up to people who have met him rather than seen him play though.
Not strictly a transfer rumour however is relevant with regards to a signing philosophy.
‘Pace, Power and Athleticism’
An interesting read:

An exciting read and looking forward to that sort of player coming in. I think to do well at the top end of the league you need exactly what he has described.Quote:

Aberdeen - Dirty as they come, don’t give away much but GMS, McGinn etc all win the games with their quality.
Kilmarnock - Exact same with Jones, McKenzie and Brophy
Scott Allan will make a big difference especially if he has good pace and movement around him.
Think Mark O’Hara fits the bill perfectly, very big athletic boy who done well at Dundee before his move down south. Can chip in with a couple of goals too.
Jamie Lindsay is similar and would be a good addition.
Really looking forward to see who he brings in
We had some of that with Mcginn and he was sorely missed this season for his running power, we also have a defence who are all over thirty so i expect a few changes there as well.Quote:

Getting definitive on these two before the end of this month would be hugely beneficial in planning for next season.
Hecky said that at the Q & A last night in the Hibs Club and also that McGeouch is being discussed. He got a round of applause for that answer when asked the questionQuote:

Dylan wouldn't fit in with what hecky said he wants in the above article, so I'd reckon it's him or stephane - or neither.Quote:

Bring him home.
Who is saying that? Certainly not meQuote:

I bet if you asked Craig Levein what style his Hearts team play he wouldn't describe it as direct football either.Quote:
