    Was excited about this signing until I read this paragraph. I guess it's good to have him as a backup player for 6 months...

    Will have to wait and see how it turns out. Not great that there is no option to buy. Basically that means if he is a success we have no chance.

    Really hope he is direct and runs at players rather than turning and passing the ball backwards all the time.

    I have no doubt that Johnston is more talented and will have a bigger career here. That is exactly why I think it will be him going on loan. The backroom team will obviously be looking at how best to develop him as quickly as possible. Now unless they have taken the decision that, barring injury, he is going to be our 1st choice left winger for the rest of the season, which unfortunately I doubt is the case, what is going to be better for him, some sub appearances and maybe a few starts, or a regular run of games elsewhere? I suspect the latter.

    He wants first team football.

    He’s no going to get that with West Brom is he.



    Get him signed Celtic.

    Johnston is what, 3 year's younger and has already seized his opportunity, more than once..

    I think Brendan probably will feel that he can come on and make an impact whenever called upon...or start. I don't think he has that same belief in Morgan, yet anyway..

    Has he not been * for West Brom? Never scores and can't even break into their first team?

    If it helps us get another treble it's not pointless.

    He’s got talent no question. I thought he looked pretty decent in his Scotland debut. Could really make a impact up here I think.

    He broke his own record as the most expensive Scottish player in history

    You may well be right, time will tell. Admittedly what Brendan is thinking hasn't followed my logic on numerous occasions.

    If this was a 5 year deal i’d be delighted because hes got great potential. However he is so raw currently a 6 month deal with him at this stage of his careers going to be frustrating to watch due to the lack of end product.

    One things for sure the boy is a big powerful unit.

    Don't really mind this to be honest, purely back-up to forrest and we've needed it imo, can see either morgan or johnstone (or perhaps both) going on loan.

    You don’t need to have an option to buy clause, to have the option to buy him. * are obsessed with options to buy.

    This season:

    Played in two League Cup games in August scoring one goal.

    Has featured off the bench in 3 league games.

    Clearly not fancied, although their statement seems to show support for him. See how he goes.
