Good article in the EEN with Jason Naismith - he is desperate to get a permanent deal with us:
https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.c...-again-2529785
Whilst he is obviously out injured with a bad one on his other knee, I really really liked him in our team before that point. Would definitely take him on a 2 year deal?

I’d be happy to sign him too. Made some good contributions going forward and decent enough defensively. He’s better than McGinn, imo.

I can’t see him getting a deal when we have McGinn and SDG. His injury came just at the wrong time.
United we stand here....

Was probably our most consistent new player whilst fit IMO. He was terrific for Ross County and could prove to be a clever signing. I think there's room for him, particularly if we see James move on.

Jason Naismith
He’ll need to take a big pay cut to get a deal here now. Players pay will be lower for new players across the board next season.
Dunfermline and Nisbett will be regretting not selling to us in January.

I don’t think either of them are much more than decent though.
With the way things are it’s not going to be easy to shift James on. McGinn is contracted as is Gray, I’m not sure the budget will stretch to retaining Naismith as well. Certainly can’t see it being a priority when the window opens, whenever that is.

Naismith very good going forward not so good defensively
Runs like the Mummy tackles like the Mummy 😃
Slight preference for McGinn on what I have seen so far
Cruciate ligament injury quite a serious injury to come back from
It came for the boy at the wrong time

We had issues in midfield and at CB when he was in the team.
I liked him, I actually really liked him. With a better midfield and the middle of our defence sorted out I think he could be a top player for us.

I like him but he'd struggle to dislodge McGinn at right back. He's too consistent.

No idea where the poor defensive thing comes from. No worse than any of our other right backs.

McGinn offers good cover across the back. Naismith would be good cover for RM or I think he’s a better RWB than McGinn. I’d keep both and try to move on James.

Naismith is a solid enough spl right back. Nowt fancy but does the job, Same story with McGinn. I'd take 4 solid enough defenders across the backline though as it's better than we've had this season that's for sure. Sir David Gray is finished unfortunately and Tom James is well..Tom Kite! Think sometimes we try and be too clever and play too much from the back, id rather have 4 old school defenders at the back and a sitter and just let the rest play.

Naismith is hard as nails - uses physicality to make up for his lack of pace. Can’t remember him making many, or any, defensive blunders. Seems to have a good mentality - him and McGinn are both pretty good.

I like Naismith. Would be happy to have him although the current crisis makes it less likely.

I actually think McGinn looks a little bit better than Naismith, but they both seem okay. Could do better, could do a lot worse.
