Re the pushback on Kenny McLean, and also on bringing in Stuart Armstrong

My view is this, these guys have been down south and on big doh for a while.

Whilst they are getting older, they have enough ability and experience to have still have a lot to offer up here, especially given the youthful nature of our targets so far

If, and this is the unknown but, IF these guys aren't been driven by money, and want back up here for another reason, whether its to play for a huge club, to move back to scotland for family reasons etc etc, and they are happy to take sensible cash, then i think its a no brainer.

Especailly with the experience we have

1. lost
2. will possible lose in the window

Def worth looking at further.

Issue I have re McLean is his pace, thought we needed more mobility to counter fast attacking teams.

Bear in mind the league we’re in John and the way the majority of the games will play out

I think we have the capacity to fit him in, both of them probably

But yeah I agree with you he’s not ideal for all matches.

I honestly think Dowell is better or at the minimum on par with McLean. We need players who are at least on par with McGregor, Hatete or the other boy. If not then we’re not improving.

I’d take both in a heartbeat for their experience and being Scottish. We can’t have a team full of 20 year olds. McLean doesn’t get injured either which is a bonus.

john, mclean is a very talended footballer, the manager will have a player in mind to compliment every player he brings in, managing means exactly that as you know, building a team, we have had many players with little pace, but walter or whoever was able to counter that with talent, i'm amazed that we have people who don't want real talent, just guys they've never heard of, and we have never really liked rangers supporting boys on here have we, , in fact i could go through 10 bluenoses who have been slaughtered in last 6 months, mclean is a very good player, and could well be part of a very good midfield, the manager will know he isn't blessed with pace and will manage accordingly, imo.

Well said Tom, He was described as rotten on here by another armchair expert couple of weeks back.
Only downside is we would be getting him an earring the end of his career, should have tried to get him a few years back.

True blue at no time have I described McLean as rotten, my concern is lack of pace

I know what Tom says, but we r replacing slow players with slower.

John I wasn’t referring to you and no mention of your name.
It was another poster.
