    One of few players in our entire squad who can beat a player with pace/skill.

    It’s remarkable how slow we are going forward. Ely, Ajeti and Rogic can barely sprint. Forrest has lost a bit of pace, Eddy isn’t particularly fast, same with Christie.

    Nobody said he was the answer, simply he would improve us and what we need is improvements all over the pitch. You've had it the neck for him as far back as I can remember.

    It's so noticeable as well..

    Seen a stat somewhere else that before his injury last season in 8 game's he had 4 goals and 4 assists. Including Sarajevo away his screamer and the Huns at theirs for Eddy..

    Yet there'll be some claiming we couldn't do with having him..

    He's not the answer but he provides pace, width and trickery. Something this team severely lacks.

    We get it, you don't rate him.

    He could be the answer as well though, he has like 15 goals in assists in about 45 games for us, mostly as a teenager and half the games as a sub. A lot of them were big games also, think hes started a Cup semi, a final, European games and im sure 4 games against the huns.

    Where have I said I don’t rate him?

    Absolute straw clutching bump. He’s a wee guy with potential and he’ll hopefully play a part this season, nothing more.

    He's decent and no doubt we could be doing with him, but like with many others before him, he's somehow become infinitely better through not playing. He's decent, full of trickery and exciting, end product at times, but he can't stay fit for 3 games in a row and he is inconsistent/erratic/greedy in his decision making. Not gonna turn our season round like some of you are acting like he will.

    Him and Laxalt down the left would be class, he’s the main player Duff singled out to become a top class player. Lets hope he bounces back from injury, but he wont solve our issues.

    Would be good to get him back soon. Ely is just not coming up with the good this season so far. They could spur each other on fight for a place on the left.

    He has a lot of talent and big potential, but he will never realise it if he cant find fitness and games.

    He would walk into the team over Ely for me just now. He has a lot of development still to do but his pace and trickery in a role like what Ely was given today, I think he would provide a lot more than what we are seeing just now.

    Will be good to have him as an option definitely, a fully firing Forrest more important just now..

    Need him back as an option pronto.

    Hopefully he isn't too much physical ability with these lay offs as he someone who could have solid career here, probably even be better than Forrest in terms of importance and impact.

    Hopefully...

    See he was training at CP today, wonder if he is flying out with the squad. Could really use his pace and directness in the team with Forrest out injured.
