Be delighted if this gets over the line but a nagging feeling that we might be paying over the odds for someone who will have to be handled carefully initially coming back from big injury and we could have signed on a pre contract in Jan?

Highly doubt the true figure will ever come out but wouldn’t really want to see us pay more than the 150K rumoured.

To an extent I suppose the finances aren’t really the fans main concern and if the moneys there and he does the job then great.

Exactly who cares what it cost its a good signing on paper.
Now push the boat out and get campbell that would be real immediate boost

He might have had more offers in Jan though. Would you fancy competition from Aberdeen, for example, when they've already beaten us to Ojo and McCrorie?

Also, what if he is happy back playing for St Mirren and signs a new contract in the meantime - they did rehab him through injury after all. Then we'd be looking at a bigger fee.

It is a calculated gamble. Hibs know what they're doing.

According to Twitter we have had a £200k bid for Ryan Wintle turned down by Crewe Alexander.

Can’t say I know anything about him, other what I’ve read, on his Wikipedia page. He’s a midfielder who was one of their best players last season.

Hopefully his positive covid doesnt scupper a possible transfer we might have had lined up

It would have cost us a decent fee even if we signed him on a pre contract tbf. He sounds good from what I’ve read but as you’ve pointed out it’s how he returns from injury that’ll determine how he does. JR certainly rates him.

So do we think we can secure Campbell from Motherwell

and we still definitely need a striker

No
And although i think we require another forward, others don't and Ross seems to be telling the press after Magennis it's unlikely we will get more in.
Id have hoped for min 2, maybw even 3 with 1 out

***bigwheel*** · 03-10-2020 05:35 PM

I suspect in a normal season we would look for a Doidge stand in...but with reduced budgets , think we will have to improvise with the likes of Murphy, Boyle, Gullan, Shanley etc ....

I don’t get it. Presumably Magennis is instead of McCrorie, but we are now without Scott Allan, so I’d have expected someone in to replace him.

Stephen McGinn instead of McCrorie.

Magennis is the new John McGinn.

Sure this would have been a bid if we didn’t get macginnis, can’t see us spending more money on another midfielder
