kni Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Just had a devious thought. How about us putting in a bid to take Erskine back on a season-long loan just before the transfer window closes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby Jag Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I see on the BBC gossip column the Daily Mail are linking us with a move for Kallum Higginbotham. Can't really remember much of him but he was highly rated at Falkirk and spent some time in loan at Morherwell last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediocre Pundit Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I thought he was a wee ********* when playing against us, always fouling and diving, and generally scoring or creating goals. I recall a particularly stunning free kick at Firhill which I believe I grudgingly applauded. I think he'd be a good shout as the creative option we still need, IMO. I see the same column has Bloemfontein Celtic of South Africa monitoring Lawless, really hope we can hold onto him as, even though he's unlikely to sign a new deal, we'll at least get some training compensation for him at the end of the season. And we need him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Murray Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Kallum Higginbotham impressed me with Falkirk, clever player with plenty of skill. He has made little impact down south with Huddersfield - but still has a year left on his contract so this is likely to be a loan deal if this is true. Archie will look to play him in the role behind the striker rather the one up front role. If we do get him I still see us going for another tall, big striker that is suited to play up on his own.

The Cup Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 They might be looking to cut their wage bill so will let him go for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby Jag Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 The Lawless to South Africa rumour will surely not come to pass. I think had the Willem II offer been accepted he would have gone, however SA with a new born kid would be a massive amount of upheaval. It's also hardly going to a better standard of football where he would be noticed by big clubs in the same way Holland would have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cup Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Rated really highly at both Falkirk and Motherwell. He plays just off the striker in a possible Erskine role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistledave78 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) 15 goals in 163 games so not exactly the big tall goal scoring striker we were looking for. Has impressed in the past however and would be a good acquisition to our squad. Check out his goal for Well v Hibs on YouTube - absolute cracker!

1 John Lambie Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Higginbotham would be a good signing, a bit of an idiot when we've played against him before but you wouldn't mind that if he was playing for you! Undoubtedly has talent but maybe his attitude hasn't been quite right to make it at Huddersfield? The type of player we should be looking at, young & talented who could make us a few bob if he does well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Higginbotham was great on first division fantasy football a couple of years back. I was gutted when Falkirk sold him, especially since I completely forgot to trade him off my team for a couple of months afterwards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert's Ghost Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Always did well when playing against us. Scored a couple in 11/12. Hope he can do even better playing for us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be why we have signed young Mukendi on loan anyway, Kallum can play as much a winger as a striker by all accounts anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernsoul Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I'm pretty taken aback by this move for Higginbotham. An undisclosed fee? He hasn't played much football over the last year but I think this could be a very beneficial move for all parties, if he is back fit and raring to go.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I remember Higginbotham playing at Firhill his first season with Falkirk. He was the one Falkirk guy that I thought impressed but we won the match and I can mind checking a Bairn's website later and he was getting slated for his performance. He had made himself time on the ball and had played difficult crossfield passes all night and looked the only Falkirk player likely to cause us trouble. Falkirk fans eventually came round to appreciate him. He certainly usually impressed anytime I saw him again and that was just about every other week that season.. I think beyond much doubt he's clued into our way of playing so passes one of the two Jags entrance qualifications. It's up to Archie & Shaggy if he's got the attitude. One thing I don't recall exceptional pace, something Archie said we're a bit lacking upfront. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernsoul Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 He had a pretty fantastic game for Falkirk vs Celtic in the League Cup semi final in 2012. I'm pretty sure it was that performance which prompted interest from a number of clubs and eventually led to him joining Huddersfield in the same transfer window.

"Undisclosed fees" are sometimes paid by the "selling" club to subsidise the player's wages at his new club. It's an alternative to a loan deal.

The Cup Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 It's great to have good footballers at the club. Please never allow us to go back to the stage where we sign the likes of Darren Brady and Kenny Brannigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arch Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 We're meant to have put out a press release saying he's signed for two years after being released on a free transfer. Looking strong everywhere apart from centre forward, although not writing them off just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
