For Lyndon Dykes read Lydia the Tatooed Lady. No thank-you. The guy takes money under false pretences.

I hope not as in the last 2 seasons Ive almost scored as many goals as him and i dont play football 😜

His wages demands would be mental for what he gives in return imo

If there was ever a player who survived purely on his past reputation then he's it.

Been dugmeat for years.

He current form is 3 goals in each of the past 2 seasons. 

Would rather keep Said up front that waste a penny on Dykes. 

He doesnt currently play in the Scottish Premiership. And I never said we should sign him. But that doesnt mean he wouldnt score goals in the SPL for the right club.

I understand what you said. I just don't see him doing much better in the Premiership than his 1 goal for Birmingham the season he played in League 1.

His best ever season was 12 league goals in 42 games 6 years ago and he hasn't hit double figures since.

Falls in to the overrated category for me, but just my opinion.

Don’t think that Spittal suits our present style of football, he’s got the skills but doesn’t track back or close down opponents enough and could leave us exposed.
Turnbull - although I agree he’s a class player - similarly wasn’t fast enough or had the stamina at Celtic under the Aussie  manager (can’t be arsed trying to spell his name) to play a fast pressing game so not sure about him. I’ll add to that the more obvious thing is that we’ve no chance of getting him on loan

You mean Ange?

Heard a wee rumour us and Hibs are looking at Lyndon Dykes. Might be nonsense, but just wondering if anyone else heard anything?

Oh jeese, no!
For me let’s not waste a penny of our valuable money even if we could afford it on this total donkey!

Lets allow Charlton to waste theirs whilst we sign an unknown with the opportunity to play for our great wee club.

[Spit_It_Out]

A signing like Dykes is exactly the opposite to what we need dont think its going to happen anyway 100 percent more of a Hibs signing.

100% this, hes brutal, we have enough dross alleged strikers on the books already with Hendry and Stamatelopoulos, we dont need any more.

No chance Dykes. Totally against our signing policy and totally past it now.
