This matches the stats: quick, likes to take on his man, but doesn't contribute much in the buildup with very few passes. 

 

I quite like the profile. I think that we could teach/coach the buildup stuff. 

Right now, I don't really want any more project players. Chaps who need half a season to get going before getting injured.

 

Even though the season eventually fell by the wayside, the band we had here last season still pushed the Scum much closer and injuries and "luck" aside, we might have grabbed a Treble. So the basis was there, we need to make it more solid.

Those two numbers don't really tell you much. 

 

I believe they are in a really bad state financially? 

Schalke were certainly, although I thought they'd stopped haemorrhaging money in the last couple of years. Despite another poor season I assumed they'd still have the finances for a 20 year old Bayern B team player, who they know well, if they wanted him. They might simply be too strapped to purchase him, or have other parts of their squad requiring more attention, I don't know. 

 

It's always worth remembering that I have no inside knowledge, I've never seen this lad play, indeed had never heard of him until reading this thread. Take my concerns with a large pinch of salt. We've had some great players who signed from relative obscurity and other well established players who signed and yet failed to deliver. Basically I know nothing, I'm just killing time between meetings!

Scott McKenna has been released by Forrrrrrest. 

 

Just saying...

A good shout especially when you consider we need to augment our quota of Scots. He is also left-sided which would allow Souttar to play in his preferred right position.

Is Jefte not a left back? Don't recognise some of the names you mention though...who is Poveda for example?

A left footed player would be a welcome addition to the defence.

 

I suspect that he might be a bit too one footed though.

If we were to sign McKenna then i will be first in line to injure him with a swift kick in the baws.
