Would Killie's Danny Armstrong add to our right side going forward?

Not for me. I think we persist with McCausland, he is doing well and will improve with more game time.

Correct.

MacCausland must be given his chance.

So far the signs look good.

I thought he did well yesterday when he came on. A couple of times he was waiting for a pass & was the through on goal but didn’t get it. Perhaps he’s not vocal enough yet. All part of his learning process

Armstrong would be a decent addition to the squad. We do need solid, down-to-earth footballers who are physical and direct. We have quality people, but too many of them try the fancy rather than the simple/practical stuff. A few blow hot and cold performance-wise as well. Getting someone who performs week in and week out on a decent level would be good for our strength in depth. IMHO, Wright is not too dissimilar to Armstrong, physical and quality-wise. In physical and rain-wrecked games like those at the weekend, you need these type of footballers, not the Matondos, Lammers and the like.

No point signing Armstrong while we still have Wright. 

[Method Man 24]

Haven't seen enough of Armstrong outside games against us to tell if he's good enough 

 

Any idea what sort of fee Kilmarnock would want? 

[Bill 13,717]

Right now I'm more interested in who we can get rid of. 

[CammyF 8,109]

Maybe we should just buy every Scottish player playing in the SPL in the hope that one of them turns out to be decent and / or better than we currently have.

Rumours doing the rounds in SM space ...

 

Mason Holgate* (27) - Everton, CB, currently on loan to Soton - one of the LINKS

Connor Barron (21) - Aberdeen, CM, contract till 2024, pre-contract rumoured

 

Zach Lovelace and Archie Stevens want to go back to England and both not signing new deals, both expire end of this season.

 

*  re Holgate

Per a report from Football Insider, Rangers are in a 'three way race'  with EFL Championship sides Middlesbrough and Watford to sign Everton defender Mason Holgate in January. The 27-year old is currently on loan at Southampton but the Toffees apparently want to end that spell early due to his lack of regular game time. 

Holgate, a former England under 21 international, has made over 100 Premier League appearances for the Merseyside club since signing from Barnsley in 2015. The 27-year old reportedly earns £70,00 per week at Goodison Park so would represent a significant wage investment for any of the three clubs linked with another loan move expected. 

 

That should be affordable ...

Bit of a blow. Both involved in the England youth setup so a well paid gig at a premiership club academy beckons. Hopefully we make a good case for a development fee.

Few people online saying Barron is looking done from Aberdeen, idk if there's any truth in it though.

 

Deal that needs to be done imo, I'd also be looking at Fotheringham at Dundee Utd if we can't bring in Sima.
