Back in for ball on a permanent. If true, can't see it not going through as he loves us just as much as we love him.

He'd be a terrific signing. Warburton knows him from a young age, was here last season and is a fan favourite.

If he's the only centre back signed it would be a slight problem given that his best last season was at CDM but he's young enough that he could develop into a very important player defensively. Hope we'd get one from England top bunch on loan though.

If he played the Cup Final, we win the Cup Final, and we'd be in Europe right now. For a guy that was 20 at the time, that's great praise.

Agree, with most of what folks are saying - but how many games did he actually start last year? Should we really be pinning our hopes on a 20 year old, who has never played even half a season with anybody?

Not the answer at centre back for me. Just like Tottenham found with Eric Dier we found that his best position was in the holding role in midfield as well and we have Barton, Crooks and Rossiter now who can play there. Having said all that, he's a better option than the other 2 who have had plenty of chances.

I like the boy but he's not the answer. He couldn't break up the pairing of Wilson and Kiernan and they were rank rotten in defence so why are people thinking he's he answer now. MW seems to see a player in Kiernan and it would take someone specialty remove him.

Additionally I heard the time are reporting we have offered a contract to senderos.

Is it true that Waghorn is out for 3 months?

THATS A GOOD POINT RICK
he is better than the "3" we have just now I don't rate hill and think he will do more on the training ground rather than playing the actual games which is weird as we have a stalwart in big davie who should be teaching our younger lads!
but I would welcome a crooks and ball centre halfs before Wilson and kiernan.

Totally disagree, as wee Barry says, Wilson is going to be a great player.

Ball was playing on all games we shipped 3 goals in at end of season He was also present when we beat Celtic 2-2 penalties but there were still glaring defence issues thing Roberts should have scored if he wasn't a Diddy and their goals both header and shot were easily achieved no marking at all WITH BALL!

Too much to expect of him we actually need a tall dominant CB more than any other player I personally hope Crooks might be a lucky signing for us and solve this problem

I like Ball far more as midfielder.
