i think once we get rid of the 'dead wood' midfielders at the club i'd be quite happyto bolster our midfield some more..
more important areas to concentrate on now i agree but having read several reports, he does sound pretty promising.

Lack of game time?
Sounds like he's currently playing for their reserves
Hibs class clearly !!

"the former Glentoran enforcer", seems CC may be looking to add further steel to that area. Fair do's if some of them can control and pass a ball as well.

De Graaf's away, Rankin, McBride and Miller will go in the Summer, and Ian Murray is physically unable to reliably give a full season.
Another young one coming in to the mix will do no harm, and it doesn't mean that we're not looking to fill the other positions.

I just don't think a good player becomes a bad player overnight.

I am not so sure that Rankin will be away to be honest.
McBride and De Graaf for me would be the first away. Rankin, at least, gives energy and workrate. Decent to have in squad in my opinion and trains well, looks after himself and good around the dressing room.
Sadly I would also be losing Lewis Stevenson too. Not really progressed as he should have done, despite having a great attitude. Time to be ruthless sadly and get a more rounded midfielder in, in his place.
Liam Miller I would definitely be keeping. Once the balance is found and maintained, his best work will be in a more creative role. Great footballer, powder puff in the tackle. Hopefully the others will oblige in that department and allow him to do what he is best at.

So far CC and DA have brought in guys that can both play a bit and have a bit of dig about them... I am happy with the players so far and will be happy with his continued judge of a player.
Still a long way to go though (think we know this anyway)

If I was him, and had the choice between Edinburgh, Kilmarnock and Portland, I think I'd plump for the latter, just for the experience of living and working in the US.

I am a safe comfortable distance from being a Lewis Stevenson fan but I'll take him over Rankin any day.

Both good characters and I agree to an extent about Rankin. But he would be a good player to have as a squad player for a variety of reasons as I say. Again, it's about balance, and if CC has found some quality in Palsson, Scott and Thornhill, then it may again mean that the others relax a bit more into their football. The burden is being shared around now for the bite, tackles and grit......this may see the likes of Rankin become a more confident player rather than running around like a toddler stung by a jellyfish

Looks a decent young player and I won't mind signing him however I would prefer it if we started making moves to sign defenders and strikers. Anyways this young lad looks a good prospect who could be worth £3M-£4M in a few years, so I would take him and Caldo has brought in 3 very good midfielders to the club so far.
