    Rickie Lambert, Antonio Di Natale, Luca Toni, Keith Andrews,(hardly the same level as the others, but he always comes to mind) Ian Wright, Miroslav Klose, Didier Drogba, Jamie Vardy etc... were all over 25 before they showed themselves. I am not suggesting that this lad is at the level of any of them, even Andrews, because I don’t know!
    If we’re being honest, nobody would be complaining about him if we had signed a decent right-back by now. That is a crazy metric to judge him on. I would imagine a lot of the same people writing this guy off we’re claiming Marvellous Compper as a great bit of business!

    Comparing the England national side of his era to Israel is a bit of a stretch.

    No my point was sutton never got england caps because he had a strop about playing for the B side,so they froze him out.....yet he was a great player.
    So this lads lack of caps might not down to him being *.

    Completely baffled by this.

    28, uncertain what his position actually is, no resale value, played a ridiculously low amount of games, a single game for gent, and looks pish.

    If this is the best utility RB we can find we are in some serious serious *.

    don't see how that computes in any way
    HAE - CB/RB
    Niro - DM/CB (stopgap on latter)
    Kouassi - DM

    so nothing to do with this guy - comes down to whether Lenny wants Bitton or Kouassi for developing DM back-up (for now) DM role: HAE will be RB and possible 4th choice emergency CB (behind Julien, Kris, Jozo)

    Bitton has been pretty solid in pre-season/qual R1, but would love to see Kouassi get a shot - once fit after ACL maybe loan to Killie or the like would give him good consistency with game time - I'm convinced there is a player in ther we paid the fee for.

    You ovb fail to see what been happening lately lenny has come out and said Bitton is his. Boy..... He is playing him at cb position just now...... This guy comes in he will be the go to guy at cb if needed pushing Bitton back to dm which is already stacked.... Officially pushing kouassi out the picture... Don't get me wrong I like Bitton his time has come though should seel recoup fee and try get kouassi to his full potential injuries have blighted his progress massively

    More recent video of him. Looks fast as *, looks like he uses it to bail him out of situations rather than good positioning or reading plays early though.

    * knows about him as a RB though when he has to stand players up and go at them 1v1.

    Callum McGregor is 26 years old and only has 9 caps for Scotland.

    Aye but we all know what scotland can be like and hes only in the past couple years started to be appreciated. If Strachan wasnt around that would probably be at least double by now too.

    Plus I would guess he has had more competition over the course of his career to get into that centre mid spot than this guy with Israel. But I'm just assuming.

    Just not convinced on this either way. Even at £2m we could probably spend it better. Time will tell.

    Deal is done except a medical according to the rags. If it is as a CB (which he predominantly is) them great is it as a right back (which I don't think it is) then its nah.

    Lennon has always had 4 or 5 CB in his teams

    Look at Pukki for Celtic and look at Pukki for Norwich, Look at Robertson For Celtic and Robertson For Liverpool, Look at Salah For Chelsea Look at Salah For Liverpool, you don't know what a player is going to be like until he plays in your league. the guy looks like hes got a bit of pace and can tackle give him the chance.

    Again, uninspiring..

    Seems like a squad filler. If he does come in hopefully he can surpass our initial expectations.

    We need a back up CB mate for Jullien, Ajer and Jozo, you know what Jozo is like he plays 8-10 games then picks something up.

    We need a defensive "all rounder" who may be happy to be back up.

    I don't know the slightest thing aboit this guy, so i'll need to reserve judgement until i see him.

    The point is, we don’t know the circumstances mate. McGregor is a * monumental talent, barely any international recognition.

    Sun saying he’ll sign a 4 year deal at 7k a week.

    At least he’s not on big money if he’s *. Should be able to punt him if he’s only on £7k.
