If be "even better" you mean he scored 2 goals last season and was dropped from the international team due to poor form, then yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIs physical attributes mean he can do well in our league. He's not a footballer though, he's a unit, so stepping up to a Top 5 league always seemed a long shot. There are different levels in the game and ours is fairly low down the ladder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think probably more along the lines of Will Dickson. Not seeing any scorch marks on the grass from his time here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz7 Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Can't understand negativity around bair. Is he better than what's there just now? He gave the glasgow 2s defense a hard time which showed how good he was. If we could get him back with 2 wingers and a midfield that can pass the ball i can't see why he would not enhance us.

Wasn't Bair main attribute using his pace and strength to run in behind, chasing long balls? Maybe a passing midfield isn't what he'd prosper off. BTW I think we are still a bit away from having a 'passing midfield'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd disagree with this tbh. There were a few goals like the chip against Livi or the one at Ibrox where he skinned a defender or pulled off some pretty technically impressive finishes. I do agree that he's probably out of his depth in Ligue 1 where the base technique and proficiency will be a lot higher but if I think of recent guys that were all blood and thunder I think Bair had much more ability on the ball than Bowman or Main etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt.fadinger and slattery are all players who want to pass the ball and although a short timespan they all look at this stage to be good footballers compared to other midfielders we have had recently. We are well fans and are pessimists by nature regards our team but at least now after a few dire years there is some hope and optimism from the majority.

weeyin Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago I liked Theo, but I'd still prefer we went for a new player, ideally used to playing on our new formation. Here are all Theo's goals from his time with us. I'll leave it others to judge how technical they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are judging him against Maswanhise no, Stamatelopoulos even thought i not fully convinced by him, again no, Robinson if ever he gets fit, maybe yes but the bars not high on that comparison. For me Bair was a hoof it forward and I'll chase it type of player with questionable positional sense, so given the style JBA wants us playing hes not what we need.

It is a brave new footballing world that we face this season, we should not be considering the return of previous players that worked in a different system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but he did well in spl so he may do again, as others pointed out french football is a few levels up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maswanhise with all respect is a winger. Stamatelopoulos? Cmon .we r hoping he will be good but other than a great strike against hibs he has not shown much. Even when bair wasn't scoring he was creating space for others. All about opinions but for me I think he would fit in perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
