Your saying it’s pretty clear why though you have to remember the guys came from half way across the world with all that brings in time change, different culture , new league and in a team that’s been struggling for a few years now , not saying we should sign him or anything though I do think it’s possible that in a better team that has better players he might be ok , heard Gray saying that Manneh has struggled a bit with the pace of our game maybe this guys been chucked in the deep end earlier than he should have considering their plight , just a thought like ..Quote:

County were in the playoffs three years on the trot.Quote:

Would like him to stay in Scotland, the better players here helps the game however he’d be good on the continent.
Would like him at Hibs but Mackay is against it because he was identified before his arrival, fair enough. We don’t need him now anyway but one that got away.
County fans are disappointed in his departure but far too good for the Championship.
Good luck to him. The angst amongst some to try and prove others wrong is incredible.
In the summer you were telling us it would be a coup for us to sign him and that we should move quick before bigger teams come in.Quote:

Forgive me if I’m not going to expect him to go onto play at a higher level.
And again, it’s not angst to try and prove others wrong. It’s a discussion on a player that was discussed at length last summer on here, one which yourself and a couple of other posters were insistent would be an incredible signing. It’s hardly a surprise he’s being discussed again.
Yourself and Brightside appear to be incredibly precious about a failed Ross County player for some reason.
The irony is there’s no one more precious than yourself about our players and the rest.Quote:

You can never see the wood from the trees though.
Whatever anyone’s thoughts on him as a player, I don’t think he’s done anything to suggest he’s one that got away. I’m not sure he will do either.Quote:

thats no use.. we never play games in the morning !Quote:

MM won't sign him for Hibs because he didn't identify him?Quote:

I've seen nothing from Nisbet that suggests we should sign him.
It’s also nonsense, much like their bizarre crusade against the club on JDHs behalf. And I say that as someone who has no love for the fact Mackay is at the club.Quote:

He did say though that we “needed to move on” from previous choices and people we had looked at. Got to respect that, he’s not got much wrong and now we have McGrath in that position but technically Nisbet is and has proven to be a very good player.
In reply to BHFC, sorry forgot to quote, I do think we need to be looking at players with greater technical ability than we currently have and Nisbet has the attributes that would enhance the skill set. There’s a fine balance to be had but don’t think this team has the ability to get to the group stages in European via the qualifiers like we have to now.
You need different options, let’s see what the next few weeks bring but Nisbet has genuine creative qualities.
Your negativity and lack of personal understanding towards our players and others never fails to amaze me.Quote:

I’m surprised he would take that approach. I know we signed both Ekpiteta and Nicky Cadden who had both been previously scouted by BMcD.Quote:

He’s signed for Roda so you can relax. 😂Quote:

Nothing on Hoilett or Rocky yet, would have thought Hoilett would have been relatively straight forward.
