    Aye, the optics of it would be awkward. Would look like a direct replacement for Matt.

    Could be a Barry Robson type signing, come in as a squad player but plays regularly

    Like many I'm happy to take him. Just not as our "replacement signing" for O'Riley

    Hatate. Engels
    McCowan. Bernardo​

    I’d be happy with this midfield and depth, loan Holm to Dundee as part of the deal.

    He looks like he can take a free kick.

    Why? Because he plays for Dundee? Have you watched him play at all?

    Yep, constant pages of complaining and moaning about him signing when there's been no credible links to him.

    It's exhausting seeing this thread continually bumped with another "He's gonna be the O'Riley replacement"

    So that will be a yes and no to my questions above. Go watch him play and you tell me.

    With Bernardo waiting in the wings , and the club in talks with a couple of other midfielders , I just don't see how he gets game time here ,as handy a player as he is .

    He’s better than Holm just now and would challenge Bernardo. It’s adding quality to the depth that we know can perform at domestic level, with 8 CL games we need to use the squad a lot more this season.

    thats only 2 more than normal, dont think we changed it up after euro games anyway ,mcgregor and oriley were constant if memory serves me correctly .we dont need any more squad fillers ,if a senario arises where we are down to a 5th or 6th choice thats the perfect chance for a youth player

    Well we just sold him to Millwall.

    It's all well and good saying that but we'd be the first to be annoyed at the fact a reserve player is filling in at a crucial stage of the season in midfield if it came to it.

    That's part or a wider issue. McCowan would be a good signing and would easily contribute more than Iwata or Holm at this stage.

    I'd argue he'd contribute more goals and assists wise than Bernardo. But people will look down on him cos he plays for Dundee. Despite his record in the country we play 38 games and potentially 12 + Cup games in per season.

    We've got 8 CL games..

    Hatate picks up injuries and McGregor will play less and less as we go on..

    He'd play before Holm(who may go on loan the other way, ideal) and Iwata is only ever backup..

    We will hopefully bring in Engels and Bogusz will likely play along the front.. he'd get game time.

    I have no issues with signing him. We just need two other starters that can play CM.

    Ideally I'd agree but that's probably not realistic.

    Mcgregor. Hatate. Engels. Bernardo. To play the majority of games.

    I'd want a CDM but it's probably not gonna happen. Someone like McCowan waiting in the wings would be more than capable of stepping in during domestic games IMO.
