I think he was with Birmingham on their tour but has since return home. I think hes a good player, and would improve one of our weakest positions, but with the number of midfielders we already have, we might not be able to afford to offer him a deal.

I worked with his sister last year. When I asked her if he ever fanced a move to hibs he said no chance. The boy wants to play in England

Did his sister say that in a really deep voice?

Fair play to him, thats where all the money is I guess. He doesnt seem to be particularly in demand however, hes been available on a free for months after being a mainstay in a very good United team, and noone has offered him a deal.

There was actually talk of him returning to Dundee FC if they got SPL football...

Well if Ozzy is indeed away that may make room for Kerr.

With Ozzy away I would not mind someone like Kevin McDonald who was with Burnley and has not yet taken up Sheffield Utd offer of new contract. Someone who can add a bit of bite to the midfield.

Completely disagree. He's 100% Mr. Unfulfilled Potential simply die to his attitude, it was only about 3 years ago he was making a real impression in the prem for his attacking play. But his absence of getting stuck in severely cost him, a bit like a few of our recent midfielders.

He has an improved offer from SU - which we couldnt match.

Alan Maybury flew out to Holland today, I spoke to him, and he's hopeful that a deal will be done in the next few days. Says he's really keen to sign and would have no worries about playing for the Cabbage! Seems a geniune guy and he's defo not a Jambo :rolleyes:. Yes he has played for them, but he's Liverpool through and through :greengrin. I think he would be a great signing for us. Can play left or right back.

Maybury - McPake - Clancy - Booth Back 4! We have a winner :greengrin:thumbsup::agree::flag::cb

Can't believe anyone is seriously considering Mark Kerr as somebody to improve our midfield. A journeyman midfielder whose status is diminishing year on year in Footballing terms. Time to widen the search Pat.

Interesting that he seems to want to sign. Was it the wages that were the hold up?

Just released by St Johnstone and 34 in a few weeks so its no surprise he wants to sign for us.
Fenlon was widely quoted recently that we're not in a position to offer him a deal right now but he would like to.

We have bigger priorities than Maybury hopefully. He did OK on Saturday from what I hear and is a good experienced pro but I'd suggest 3 or 4 other positions are more important right now. We have already signed Clancy who Fenlon stated was seen as a right back for us and that is Maybury's main position.
Yes he can be back up there with Clancy in centre and he could possibly play left back but again thats not a priority.
Quality over Quantity Patrick FFS.

I had hoped he was just getting training facilities when we first heard he was at East Mains.

Stay positive......

Did I not read a quote on here from the man himself saying saints had offered him a contract but he was weighing up his options?

Well if somebody offers you two bags of sweets it's wise to take a look in both before making your choice:cb

He brought him in for a wee look, didn't show enough to get a deal and has moved on, at least PF is looking and not just sitting on his erse.

I am more than certain that PF will have a few trialists in mind for the coming games.

I also believe that PF never stops trying to get folk in to try and improve the team... He's just been given a wee added bonus with the Ozzy windfall, albeit not that much but hopefully enough to bring in a replacement.

Let's see what develops this week... Hopefully LG in he next few days.

Booth is not the answer at left back. Gets caught out too much.

Agreed. If we sign may bury I have a funny feeling we might see him play there??

Agree ..... but I always thought there was a decent midfield player in the making there. Likes to get forward, has good movement and is decent on the ball.

He is good going forward but I'm not sure about his defensive qualities in midfield and especially at the the back. This season is his last chance at Hibs or he will fall down the leagues. Successive managers have not picked him as a regular. I hope he can kick on and learn his trade and serve Hibs well but have my doubts

Im sure he could play on the left of midfield if he had a decent LB and someone in midfield barking orders at him all game and keeping him focused. The majority of younger players, unless they are really special, will need that sort of experience around them, guiding them through games, which is something we seem to have lacked recently (look at the difference McPake made on Hanlon for example). Its a shame that he hasnt pushed on like we all would have hoped for, but hes only 21, and theres still plenty of time for him to turn things around.
