Replacement Striker?

[DalgetyBayJaggy]

Wouldn't he just burn himself out the first time he played?

[cif73]

Not sure all the fans will warm to him unless he fires up the rest of the team

[Scotty]

not sure he will be a success ... only works properly when he is out of his box !

[CaleyD]

I'n not a fan of flare players.

[MacShimidh]

Sounds like a flash in the pan if you ask me. Be better bringing back old flame Lionel-Zippo-Zadi

[Big G]

Nice to have a red head back in the side.

I see the Canadian international Andre Hainault is unattached.  I'm sure he played at left-back for Ross County and looked a quality player.

I see the Canadian international Andre Hainault is unattached.  I'm sure he played at left-back for Ross County and looked a quality player.

That season he was with Ross County, I was frequently at their U20s and he used to always coach the young defenders in the team pre match and then often went on to have a good game.  He is definitely someone worth having a look at but I'm fairly certain he was a centre back and not left back - which in that case he may struggle to get ahead of Danny Devine never mind Warren or Meekings. 

[Renegade]

IIRC he's a left-back but can also play at centre-half.

[Renegade]

Interestingly, I heard at the Clach game that Richard Brittain turned down a one year deal with us to sign for Brora.  God knows how true that is though.

[Scarlet Pimple]

Not familiar with Hainault . What is your take on him Scotty?

[TheCommissioner]

If we could afford a transfer fee (which I don't suppose we can) I would like to see a striker who is already a proven prolific forward who already plays our style of football. 

Jack Redshaw is still in contract with Morecambe but if we could afford a bid, would be worth a look.

Dale Carrick has just been released by Hearts, only 21 and a very athletic striker who I always thought had good potential. Definitely be worth a punt. 

[Scotty]

Nothing special. He has a lot of caps for Canada and is solid enough but not a standout. Depending on your viewpoint you might call him a 'journeyman' or a 'workhorse'. 

[Kingofthenorth]

There are a number of more experienced that have been released from Scottish clubs that I wouldn't mind seeing as a number 2 striker that we've needed for 2 years now. James Mcfadden/Lee Miller/Jon Daly/Scott Macdonald. Obviously if there's room in the budget. 

Also maybe worth mentioning Andy Driver now left Aberdeen - could be looking to kickstart his career again, though after signing Roberts realise this is very unlikely - And Keith Watson leaving Dundee United

 

[Renegade]

McFadden's finished, while Miller had a hopeless season at Killie.  McDonald and Daly would probably be too expensive.   I myself suggested singing Andrew Driver a few months back but seemingly, according to the Aberdeen fans, he's finished now.

I don't do red dots, but suggesting we sign Lee Miller definitely tested my resolve.

[Kingofthenorth]

Dale Carrick looks set to join Killie it seems

So basically he's Richard Hastings.

I wonder if Yogi will/has offered a deal to Ian Black.  Seemingly he's considering signing for Berwick after going on trial.  I wouldn't offer him a deal myself, but I can see Yogi viewing him as his 'type of player'.

Ian Black is not very good and centre mid is a position we have ample cover for. Give Yogi some credit...

[Renegade]

He seems to still have *some* interest in adding to that position when he brought Norburn in on trial.  He also allegedly offered a contract to Iain Vigurs (he didn't want to return apparently).  

Nothing about "credit", but Black's a ball player who I can see Hughes wanting to take a chance on.  I wouldn't look to sign him myself, but I can see Yogi taking a punt.

[ICTPaisley]

I don't get how people can say Ian Black isn't good, he was consistently 1 of our best players and was at Hearts too.  He's had a poor time at Rangers but that doesn't make him a bad player, he could easily do a job in the top league with someone.

[Scarlet Pimple]

And how old is he?

[Sneckboy]

And how old is he?

He's 25.
