milo Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Fuck sake! That's a major sickener for me. He'll more than do a job for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Stand Well Boy Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Fuck sake! That's a major sickener for me. He'll more than do a job for them. Think he would do a job for all top flight teams bar Celtic, he's a talented player, good all along the front line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well 4 Europe Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Calm doon, he contributed as many goals and assists last year as Omar Daley despite spending more time on the pitch than big Omar. Lots of skill, little end product was what I remember from Higginbotham, Hibs goal aside. Always showed good feet and got into good areas but rarely delivered a telling final ball. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh given his limited appearances for us but I personally wouldn't be desperate to have him back. Decent enough player maybe, not we need at this moment in time.

milo Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I'd say we definitely could do with him! Who else is going to play right wing for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well 4 Europe Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I'd say we definitely could do with him! Who else is going to play right wing for us? McCall's already said he's looking to bring one in. The window's still open for over three weeks yet, plenty of time to get someone in. No need to panic.

Lobey_Dosser Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 If we had signed Higginbotham on a 2 year deal I'd have rated that as one of our best signings of the summer. Boy has bags of talent, just needs time to establish himself in his preferred role behind a striker. I think he would have been an indirect replacement for Ojamaa. Not to worry, we have Lasley and 2 fullbacks supporting Anier tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with all of this especially the bit in bold. He was actually worse than Humphrey for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy has bags of talent, just needs time to establish himself in his preferred role behind a striker. I think he would have been an indirect replacement for Ojamaa. To be honest, I reckon if McCall manages to acquire the winger he's looking for I suspect we'll see McFadden playing behind the main striker. But I do agree Higginbotham would have been a good signing. Reading his interview on the Thistle website though he mentions "playing regularly" several times. Maybe figured he wasn't guaranteed that with us. If we were even interested... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONeils40yarder Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Higgingbotham would have been a great signing right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Higginbotham would've been a great signing for us. I'm absolutely spewing that he has went to Thistle of all clubs!! Maybe McCall didn't want him back? But we are crying out for a winger and the fact that he's gone to Thistle shows he most certainly wasn't beyond our reaches. Really disappointing.

weeyin Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Is he better than the winger McCall wants to sign? Maybe we should wait and see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milo Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I guess we will have to wait and see. Higginbotham on a permanent deal would've been a massive signing for us this summer. In fact I didn't actually think it was a possibility as I thought he was quality and out with our reach...then he ends up at Thistle on a permanent deal!!

Desp Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Did you watch a different Kallum Higginbotham to me last season? A decent player, found his level at the bottom end of the "Premiership" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Partick are putting together a good team. If we were going to have a Partick winger though I'd rather it was Lawless but I won't go there again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domeski7 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Its got an awful feel to it, i reckon he will come back to bite us on the hairy erse this season. Good player when he got the chance last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepper Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 In the game against Hibs when he scored the overhead kick he was absolutely rank rotten, by his own admission too. Don't see why people are so disappointed either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 McCall has yet to see the wingers we are planning to look at. He knows he is looking for pace, though. I liked Wee Higgy, but he certainly doesn't fit that particular bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Maybe we would have signed higgy if we hadnt already signed the guy who kept him out of the team last season. I didn't see much of him other than that one goal, so I don't know what the fuss is about. Partick will finish in the bottom half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
