do you always base your opinions on players on their jumping ability?
Owain served us well last season, and was part, of what i think was probably the best centre midfeild partnership in the league, alongside draper, in particular over the long spell we had from september to february, with 3 loses in toal in that 5 month period. Owain was a total ball player, not a tackler, not an aerial threat, but a technician. I think we'll miss him, draper and foran did well together recently in the centre, but neither have owains ability, and finding as good a balance in the centre without him, will be tough. over to you mr marsella.
In saying that if hes the only other player along with A.Shinnie, and Reguero, thats fine by me. 2 will be tough to replace. As for Requero? we have Esson, its just about getting decent cover for him.
I agree, I think he'll be a miss in the middle but he is replaceable, and as you said it's all down to Steve Marsella to find us a suitable midfielder that can play with Draper in the middle. But what I don't get is the fact that he thinks going to Hibs is a "new challenge" when they are in Europe for getting beat in a Scottish Cup Final, okay fair enough Europe, but he did say he wasn't bothered if Caley got into Europe but I suppose he was leaving anyway. Another thing is that they are now a bottom six team and without Griffiths next year (I think) then they are going to struggle IMO. A new challenge is when you join a different league not just a different team in the same league as you were in before.
