Seen a tweet doing the rounds on twitter that we.ve signed Jordan Mcghee from Dundee on a pre-contract not sure how much truth there is in it however.

Fair chance.

It was alluded to a few weeks ago that we were in the market for a defensive mid.

He was one of the names suggested.

Think he is more of a utility player than an out and out defefensive mid, so no idea if he is what we are looking for or not.

Cant say Ive ever paid him much attention.

Is this the guy that comes from E.K?

Possibly looking for a move closer to home in that case.

From what I can remember he's a Cb don't think he's played much in midfield

Thats true but, IF he comes this month, I suspect he'll be brought in to beef up the midfield i.e replace Davor.  As its stands we badly need a physical defensive midfielder and a hulking target man, if we want to stick to Ketts' plan but make it more effective.

The last thing we need is a hulking target man. That is a recipe for 90 minutes of long punts from defence to "attack".

We do that anyway (well, a lot of the time) and we dont have anyone to make it effective. Id be ok with going long if it didnt keep coming straight back again.

Whether it’s a target man or runners the problem with our long passes is that they are horrendously inaccurate. Nothing wrong playing long balls all the time if they are accurate. At best most are 40/60 on our guy getting the ball. First option should be a ball in behind the defence for player to run onto. If not on then can we play it to feet of someone forward or at least to where they can control it with their chest or other body part. Most of our long balls are either straight to opposition, way too long or way to high or out the park

Fair point caller.

We have certainly been less effective in an attacking sense without Miller pulling the strings.

Maybe west ham will change mind if they know he is going to be getting games 

It looks like the goalie from norwich will be signed in time for tomorrow whatever happens.its frustrating that whenever we get players back we immediately pick up more injuries.
