Think we were in for him when his last Wigan contract was due up, apparently tried to low ball and and he re-signed with Wigan. Pretty sure we ended up with Ekpiteta and O’Hora instead…

I remember it as him asking for crazy wages…. But i may be wrong 🤷‍♂️

I think we low balled before he went down south? Then had half a chance sometime in-between, but he ended up flying into form for them.
Then we couldn't afford at the last offering?

Could be wrong on all 3, I think alot of the chat around him is always just rumoured?

O'Hora has been a decent signing.
Ekpiteta didn't really get going due to injury iirc?

He has been decent, Ekpiteta didn’t look great but was hampered by injuries and having the hopeless goalie (who’s name I’ve forgotten) behind him.

I think Kerr would have been better than both, and that’s ultimately what we should be aiming at. We should be going for him again, to ma having a core group of Scottish players is essential.

Scottish players should make up the bulk of every squad in Scottish fitba.
The SFA should be insisting that that should be so.

Kerr would be better than both for me too. Where he sees himself playing is the only question. If he's wanting to come back up the road we should pull out all the stops.
Celtic, Hunco, Hearts and Aberdeen could be competing and we can't rely on him being a Hibee. Show him the wage packet!

I actually preferred Ekpiteta when they 2 had to play together, he was brilliant in the air (O'Hora quietly is too) but Ekpiteta was a weapon when we had corners. Played to the back post, he'd knock them back across.

Things could've been different for him I think. But I wouldn't have changed Rocky for anything last season, he was a titan. So it all worked out.

Agree.
Guessing it didn't suit one or more of the bigots at some point?

We only need to have 2 homegrown players in a match day squad and no rules on the whole squad.

The only thing making anyone have Scottish players is the euro competition requirements. 8 needed in a 25 man squad.
