Famous last words given he's about to play in a crucial game but Lustig has shown he's got more than decent performances left in him. If we can ease him down while easing another guy in, one who potentially can be top class, then it seems ideal, almost too good to be true. |

Never thought I'd get excited about a Championship right back I'd never heard of who hasn't even kicked a ball for 2 years through injury, but I'm definitely excited about this one

We probably took a similar risk with Craig Gordon and that worked out well enough. Hartson failed a medical at the huns but was also a good signing for us. Risks can pay off. |

If our medical staff are as on the ball as they were with the contrasting outcomes regarding Craig Gordon and Rivaldo Coetzee then I'm sure we'll make the right call. Sounds like's got plenty about him as a player. |

And if it does work out then we've got a really good right back for nothing, and an excellent back up. |

No one actually thinks that we can compete with EPL teams. But for godsakes we are not Partizan Tirana either. The likes of Ajax and Anderlecht are able to get to scout across Europe and pick up players with fees. You say you don't have to spend money to get quality - but it does help. We spent years throwing money away whilst rummaging about the bargain bin with regards to the striker dept. We spend serious money on wages and fees for the likes of Dembele (yes I know technically he was a free transfer) and Edouard and that area is now one of strongest areas. If this guy is the right back upgrade to Lustig then I'm seriously underwhelmed. Edited by Corky Buczek, 27 Jun 2018, 02:47 PM.

If you look at the clip attached to my post #2983, the guy certainly seems to have the right mentality at least. |

Plenty of people claiming we need top quality keeper / central defenders etc....yet look at Spain : De Gea - Ramos - Pique (Difficult to get much better) but they look fragile at times.....probably down to the guys around & in front of them....If we signed Kimmich he'd be slated as being too small for Scottish football. Give me another Paul Telfer or Ramon Vega...steady and know the game...rarely let us down. |

Given our financial situation, is it a risk we need to take ? There were risks with Gordon given his injury record but my guess is that two years without playing for an outfield players means even more questions about their stamina and whether they still have pace etc. |

It'll be evident quite quickly if he's not got it any more, which is I imagine why we've given him a trial and not offered him a contract. |

As mentioned with Caulker, we all debated how big a risk that would be given the cash he'd have been on. In the end, Dundee could afford to take him. Maybe this guy won't be looking for a huge amount in his first year or whatever. I'm sure they'll be able to structure it in a way that works for both parties. Don't know the guy as a player, but seems highly rated at one time so I guess they'll be assessing whether he can get back to that. Thinking about it, did we knock back Paul McGrath because of his knees and he went on to have a great few seasons after that? |

Each to their own but there would have been and to believe there wouldn’t have is just delusional. We’re depending on our medical team getting it right. If we sign him then I wish him every success just thought we’d be going for a starter rather than a back up with a bit of history, doesn’t mean it won’t work out well. |

He's there for us to have a look at him. Maybe play as a trialist in one of the games after his contract runs out. They'll get a good look at him and be able to decide. Sensible. |

From what I saw of him, I think he will be a serious upgrade on Lustig IF he is over the injuries and I’d trust the medical team on that. I have no idea about our scouting prowess (although I have my doubts about Congerton and, yes, we have signed a lot of dross over the past ten years) and I doubt anyone really has, but it is not as simple as you portray. Both Ajax and Anderlecht benefit from a more relaxed attitude to immigration for example and Ajax will benefit from being seen to be in a more competitive league and a more favourable tax regime. Our infrastructure and support may have the potential to make us European premier league members but right now we are firmly in the third division and rapidly losing touch with even the second division. That - in my opinion - is cold, harsh reality. Not what I want or like, but there you go...frankly, the sooner we leave Scottish football and join a European league, the better. Haven’t there been some studies which have shown that spending money is no guarantee of success? |

TBF I quite like having players in the same position who are a wee bit different from each other. Lustig might play in games we need to defend & this guy if we sign him, plays in more attacking games. Room for both, Ralston in there somewhere in the middle & learning from both approaches.. |
