It's funny, I was wondering if we would replace Wilson with someone like Ciani that we were linked with last summer.....all of a sudden we are linked with him....I think it's a good move if we can do it. We all liked the look of him last summer but it just never materialised. Only 29 so still some good years left but he brings plenty of experience to a young and inexperienced defence!
Apparently also looking at Cameron Stewart from Hull. We've been linked with him before. Apparently he is not in Steve Bruce's plans and will be allowed to leave, 22 year old winger who came through the ranks at Man Utd before a few loan spells before signing permanently with Hull after a successful loan spell.
He's originally from Glasgow and despite representing England at youth level, would still be eligible for Scotland. I'm sure a move to us would appeal to him but I'm not sure he is right for us. If he's not cutting it at Hull, why would he be capable of kickstarting his career with us?
I'm sure he could hold his own in the SPL but certainly not in Europe.
McGeouch could be going out on loan with Ross County and Hibs leading the chase. I think McGeouch has a lot of talent but we're not seeing it often enough and in pre-season I thought he looked a bit reserved. I hope that a loan move to an SPL team would see him get plenty of first team football and help push him on to our first team.
My concern however, is that Forrest is apparently set to see a specialist about sciatica. From what I've read, if it doesn't go away itself, it could be really quite restricting to his play! We could do with back-up to him. It's a real shame if it is going to limit his ability on the pitch because as we know, when fit and in full flow......he's a top player! I would have thought McGeouch would be perfect back-up rather than bringing in someone like Stewart....but then I suppose we don't know how much McGeouch would play if he stayed and therefore it might just be best for him to go and get the first team football.
