pmu 0 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Again I'm underwhelmed with Eustace -- his age being the main cause for concern -- however, after doing a bit of research, he could be a shrewd acquisition. He's a sitting midfielder, quite strong on the ball and can pass it, so he seems to fit the style WW are after. He's not going to have the legs but that's not necessary in his position and his age doesn't seem to have hindered him over the last few years in the Championship. His experience could be beneficial for youngsters. If he's playing regularly in the Championship at 33, 34 and 35 (He only missed out last year through injury, and, if some tweets from Derby supporters are trusted, they really missed him -- Derby are not a bad side), then I think he should be able to play with us for 2 or 3 years. (I can't believe I'm about to say this but Neil Lennon was playing for Them at 35 and looked average, but was considered an important player. ) If we are going with a relatively young centreback pairing and some young blood in midfield an experienced holding mid is exactly what we need. I presume they have done their homework and are buying in a ready made leader , something we have lacked for years, on the pitch.. typical of our supports mentality if its naw a big name we dinnae want him.. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen that mentioned. He's nearly 36, he's just missed three quarters of a season with not one, but two injuries and is still rehabilitating from the one suffered in January. Wanting experience is one thing, bringing in a player who is in decline and appears to be injury-prone into the bargain is another. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blinkyman 0 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 These threads will be funny in a year I suspect Sincerely hope so............because the pain from the impatient pontificating pomposity of the 'underwhelmed' Is already to much to bear. More likely to drive the rest of us to the Erskine Bridge before the first ball is kicked than anything W&W could possibly inflict upon us. Just saying like .......... :D 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 243 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Why do people who cry every time they come across an alternative opinion come onto forums? Do you not realise they are to discuss the current issues? If you can't debate a 35 year old who's just had 2 knee ops signing might as well pack it in. Or for that matter debate the merits of signings. Its a discussion thread on a forum. Go to an appreciation only page. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublusince1982 243 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 When the alternate opinion puts Scott allan and Kyle Hutton in the same bracket people will cry laughing maybe unfair on Hutton. Doubt Murdoch could mark him out the game. Allan misplaces passes when under no pressure regularly something that will get worse with 45000 watching. What makes you rate him the one good game he had against us or the media hype? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublusince1982 243 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Watching him mostly What do you put his rise in stature on? Stubbs? He completely flopped in england then after a year at hibs he's now good enough to play centre mid for Rangers in front of 45k fans 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 He's always been highly rated that's why he got a move to the premiership. The comparison to Hutton will haunt you. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
