    Like the way he keeps it simple. Only problem I have with him is Hinkel showed a few times that a good RB can have him in their pocket. He is decent but not amazing. Personally, unless we are selling someone, I think we are strong in the winger positions and I would prioritise all the money on a couple of strikers, a LB and if our budget is big enough I would also add a CH and CM. I would rather have few but better signings and if all the money has to go on 2 or 3 four million pound players rather than 5 or 6 around the 1-2 million pound mark then I will happy.

    Nope, we need genuine pace and he could provide it those 3 can't.

    Andy Driver is the only winger in the SPL i've seen trouble Hinkel, he destroyed him twice at Parkhead.

    Maloney isn't fast at all and Mizuno doesn't even come close to being as fast as Driver. I think your under estimating how quick this guy is, he's Didier Agathe quick.

    He's quicker than the wingers we have, but he isn't as quick as Agathe was - no way..

    Look at the wingers we have and they are basically skillful players who would try to jink their way past defenders. Driver offers something different because he will usually just knock the ball past you and run.

    I think you'd be surprise mate, he's the fastest player in Scotland by some distance for me.

    Not at all, I watched nearly every reserve game last season I realise he is nippy. He's nowhere near as quick as Driver though and although McGeady has quick feet he's not even close to being a speed merchant either.

    I dunno. I know he's quick and there aren't a lot of real pacey players since the likes of Agathe and Sproul to name a few.

    I know he's quicker than what we have thats for sure.
