Happy with that as long as he's a squad player, non starter, off the bench in the last 10 only, etc etc etc.... 😁 A guy who looked good against Livi and useless against everyone else. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted May 31, 2024 Report Share Posted May 31, 2024 No surprise that we've signed Nicholson permanently. As Bobbybingo says it'll be interesting what a good pre-season does for him. He sems to have a bit of skill and knows where the goals are. Quite happy with this news. I still think we need an out and out defensive midfielder though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yodo Posted May 31, 2024 Report Share Posted May 31, 2024 Nicholson has done nothing to get him a two year deal 12 month would have been fine to see what a pre season does for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he sees him as an asset then I hope it works out for all parties. Aye said he was a player and that turned out well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted May 31, 2024 Report Share Posted May 31, 2024 Nicholson was always going to be an easy signing for Kettlewell, and a 2-year deal seems reasonable as he did more good than shite during his short-term deal. Kettlewell still needs to replace Spittal's goals and assists, as I don't see that type of player in Nicholson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted May 31, 2024 Report Share Posted May 31, 2024 Happy with Nicholson also. With a full pre season then I think will be a good asset next season. For those not happy can I ask who do you want us to sign because as far as I can see every player we sign is written off?. We all remember the outrage when Bair signed and that hasn't turned out too bad. Give the lads a chance 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the lads a chance I don't want us to sign guys who we know aren't up to the required standard because we've already watched them struggling for 6 months. Halliday and Nicholson are both well past it. They weren't good enough between January and May and they won't be any better next season. O'Donnell is going to be next and that'll be another one.

wellsince75 Posted May 31, 2024 Report Share Posted May 31, 2024 At 29 he shouldn't be passed it. I'm more enthused about him staying than I am re Halliday. He has shown some very decent skill and has had an impact on several games BUT it''s been limited and often been anonymous in many games. Is he good enough to replace Spittal ? Time will tell but we should remember the 'aw naw brigade' when we first signed Spittal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halliday has struggled, we can all see that but I don't think Nicholson has been that bad. Wasn't fit enough initially but give him a pre season and I think will be good. I think SOD is still worth keeping. Maybe not a first team start but definitely squad member 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than a few moments against Livi he did nothing. The 3-3 game at Pittodrie, the home game against Celtic and the last two games he was utterly hopeless. He's no pace and a history of knee injuries. He was overweight when he joined as well so you can't even say he's a good pro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only looking for an opinion on who you would sign, given the actual signings don't impress you. They don't have to fit into Kettlewell's system, just be part of your dream team.

Suppose Nicholson has experience and also scored a cracking goal. If When Halliday Sam and Mcgin run out, we can play the dad's army theme!
