I remember his gial at Tynecastle earlier in the season. One of the best derby goals. Real shame about the injuryQuote:

Stevenson is 31 he has a good few years yet

Good luck with that one
Daz and SDG maybe not so long but Leeann has already said they have jobs for life in any case
The left back position is isn’t one we need to prioritise; lewy is far better than he gets credit for and Mackie looks a good back up.Quote:

Newell deal was done on Friday apparently.
Yep, well done, so whats your point Billy, except highlighting HIBS ?Quote:

Left back is not a priority just now
You said it yourself “left back is just fine.”
I have already said competition is healthy
They are certainly most welcome to come in and try but might be a waste of resources
Do you want me to paint you a picture?
Having seen some of the eye bleeding football Rotherham play, I'll be ignoring any opinions on Newall's footballing abilities for now.
Crack on 👍Quote:

Would have thought they would have bithe been announced together if we were going to sign him though
If we are in a Rotherham Pilagey kinda mood, we should stump up for Ajayi.
Massive Defensive Midfielder that is a serious goal threat.
Would be delighted with thisQuote:

Pleasing to see some height being introducedQuote:

Many have tried and failed but nothing lasts forever 😁
Scott Allan to be officially unveiled today wearing next seasons kit??

Dunno!Quote:

Sweet left foot
He is in the right hands under Hecky
He made the correct choice between us and the dark side if he wants to play football :greengrin
The two full backs are getting caught out more and more , they never get close to the opposition to stop crosses in case they get skinned .Quote:

Agree all depends on the formation I supposeQuote:

I suppose that might be one of the reasons Hecky has moved Flo back to be almost a full back at times
It will be interesting to see how PH sets up
I have a feeling there will be more bodies to come in

Sounds like we would be wanting at least 700k+
Although I dont think LB is the most urgent position to strengthen, I do think that Hecky will be looking at both full back positions, particularly because of the type of football he wants us to play.
Like someone correctly mentioned above they were both caught out a bit last season, particularly Gray at RB
