Hands down the technically worst player we’ve had in recent times, however if only some of players we had his heart and desire

Hopefully just a one-year deal for him to prove himself then. Boy has had very little first team football for his age, wouldn’t be handing him 2 or 3 years like the others.

I wonder if King coming in just as Rabbitsch goes out suggests that another wide player won't appear until at least 1 or 2 of Loemba, Aird and possibly Matty Smith are moved on?

Kind of looks that way.

I would think that all 3 of them will be away

Matty smith to Falkirk is what I’ve heard on loan

Strange one that, McKinnon couldn’t get rid of him fast enough when he was here.

That would surprise me.

McKinnon didn't rate him apparently.

I wonder if the Adam King story (daily record btw) is just them picking up on the Courier story that said Ganet was away and King was staying a bit longer. Maybe just putting 2 and 2 together as I dont see what King will bring that we don't have already? He isnt a winger in any way. Unless Robbie is going for a diamond midfield this season so we need to stock up.

I heard that too straight from the horses mouth.

Laszlo interested in taking Bouhenna to his new team. Neilson saying No. Also saying that Sow wont be leaving. In todays Courier.

Out of interest, why would you keep Bouhenna? I'm not saying I wouldn't either, I'm
not convinced he's all that good. He's one of the better players we have for that position, but I'm confident we could get better. Saying that, I can't think of names off the top of my head just now.

Bouhenna is excellent in centre midfield, him and butcher for me at start of season

I didn't see him in the flesh when he was playing in midfield, so that's why I'm asking. I can only really base my thoughts on him playing at the back which was not that impressive.

If he was as good as you say, then there's no point in letting him go unless its for silly money.

LarsErikKjell · 10/7/2019 11:57 am

I'd say Bouhenna will play a lot this season in Midfield. 5th choice centre back for me though. That's definitely not his position. Love him in midfield most of the time though. Very composed.

Looks like Adam king is away to be announced, photo doing the rounds

Hard to confirm if its definitely him with the scarf above his head but obviously very likely it is him. Too tall to be Gauldy anyway...

An interesting one but he's spent 2 weeks training with us now so Neilson must see something.

MockChop · 10/7/2019 4:35 pm

any player in our strip gets my full backing.

but, this is, for me, underwhelming.

really hope I’m wrong.

We need a creative midfielder, and he is one of those. But I agree I feel underwhelmed also. However I've never seen him in the flesh so hopeful of being surprised.

MockChop · 10/7/2019 5:01 pm

I had no idea where he played tbh

Originally he was a LW at Hearts.

Has played FB and even CH for Swansea U23's.

All according to Wiki.

MockChop · 10/7/2019 5:31 pm

It’s good to have 1/2 ‘utility men’ in a squad but no more than that

LarsErikKjell · 10/7/2019 6:06 pm

Neilson mentioned in interview he wants 1 more 'attacker' and another defender. Not sure if King is the attacker but he mentioned his centre forward business is done. Interesting he wants another defender. Centre half?

I'd hope for another CH (among other options).

Don't think Connolly and Reynolds are necessarily as competent as some other fans believe, but hope I'm wrong.

MockChop · 10/7/2019 6:45 pm

won’t happen, but I’d take cash for Bouhenna if it meant we got a quality CH in.

*I’d like to think Bouhenna wouldn’t entertain the idea of working under Laszlo again.
