    He'd just be a complete waste. A fine player but never our level.

    I'd take him for depth.. even with the potential signing of Engels, we'll be missing a substantial goal scoring threat from midfield.

    Aye, I like him..

    Good squad addition and shouldn't turn our noses up at the best Scottish talent..

    Trouble is, he's much more likely than Engels, would love to be proved wrong.

    I'd take him as well, good character and allround player. Would be peanuts to sign and wages and you'd rather turn to him in an injury crisis than Holm or Iwata in the advanced positions, he'd create and score goals no bother and he can run about with good energy defensively and going forward.

    I think people would be surprised, to me he seems more like Mulgrew, Stokes, Griffiths in that he is well rounded with good talent and skill rather than someone like Hayes who was just completely mediocre or Lewis Morgan and Scott Allan and those types.

    This is a hard working player, with a decent engine who is naturally skilled and clever on the ball.

    Well at least he has to be a better option than that Luke McCowan...

    Edit: this made more sense before the threads got merged.

    It’s the Barry Robson, Scott Brown, Will Flood, Scott McDonald, Charlie Mulgrew type transfer.

    Best in our league but will be make it?

    The above 5 made an impact in Europe

    I just don’t see how he gets the minutes. He’s a fine player but no better than Iwata, Bernardo or probably even Holm.

    It would be a waste of money on our part and a poor career decision on his. I thought be was around Hearts/Aberdeen level before but he’s probably a bit better than that in truth, he should look for a move down to the Championship.

    I suppose if by some miracle we mange to shift the likes of Kwon, Bernabei and Tilio we will need someone to loan out next season to keep Darren Odea in a job.

    Absolutely pointless signing.

    If we want a midfielder to boost numbers and the homegrown qouta, go sign Stuart Armstrong on a free.

    I really like him. Doesn't hurt that he's home grown.

    This will waste the boys career. He will not enhance us in Europe and will get limited game time in the league. For the boys sake I’d rather we didn’t.

    It's also gonna waste Holm's. Far better player and should be focusing on developing him

    Holm has shown zero to suggest he can cut it here.

    At least McCowan has actually performed at a relatively high level in our league.

    Holm has a far higher ceiling and will go much further than Luke Mccowan

    Unfortunately Holm hasn’t been given a run of games, even off the bench. This makes me wonder if it’s an attitude thing because from what I’ve seen the boy definitely has talent.

    Can see it now, last day of the window. O’Reilly gone for record money and we only bring in McCowan, what a day that will be…
