It's good that we're casting our net a little wider so to speak but this lad will have to convince me he's up to it if he signs - This rumour suggests to me that the Armstrong deal must be off and the club are working down their list for a left footed wide man.

 

Just checked with the club and they've confirmed he won't.

Fuckin hell.

Good - I'd much prefer a goal-scoring winger like Armstrong if possible. Schon looks like Bambi on ice on his videos and his goal-scoring record sucks.

Probably sign him now I've said that

He really won't

Stay home Szabolcs.

Apparently you're not a patch on a player in Scotland, that we know nowt about neither.

Have a word with the rest of the signings and and ask them if they have a cooling off period, as apparently, they're not up to it neither.

On the way out, please ask with Evatt to confirm that he didn't check with Blunderbuss first.

We can’t have many players that have played in Europe in last 5 years. Even if qualifiers. Seems a step in the right direction with knowing little about em.

Really ?

Unless you approve then he can f'cough ? Haven't you asked you new mates, at length, what they reckon of him ?

It's Schön.

So the 'o', with the umlaut, is pronounced like a 'u'. So it's pronounced like as in the German 'danke schoen'.

In the last two seasons, Schon has only played 37 games and scored 4 goals for a team that escaped relegation from a shit league by a whisker. He was signed from a MLS team where in the previous season he played 24 times and failed to score at all. The videos of him show he struggles to beat players or put in a decent cross. And as a youth at Ajax he was a "push and run" winger who was repeatedly dispossessed and passed to nobody in particular - if you're such a big fan, enjoy the Future Cup video "highlights reel" - 7 minutes solid of him losing the ball.

By contrast, over the same period, having been signed mid-season by the Killie promotion to the Scottish Premiership team, Armstrong has played 92 games and scored 21 goals, can play on either wing (mainly on the right for Killie TBF) and has more assists than you can wave a stick at because his passing and crossing is top drawer. Last season Killie came 4th behind the big money teams and qualified for the European Conference.

Chalk and fucking cheese.

I suspect and hope that Casino is right and that it's to give Killie a nudge. If it's not, and we are actually going to sign Schon, I would be inclined to say something like "this lad will have to convince me he's up to it".

Hang on....I already did.

I believe so.

Anyway, Lusty will be onto it.

Could you not possibly just bring yourself to give him the same chance as you give any new signing? 

Maybe Evatt doesn't see their goalscoring rates as the most important part?

Maybe he wants more width and earlier balls into box?

Come on Blunderbuss, apply your studies further than the bleeding obvious.

Oh, and by the way, our managerial team will have all that data and more, so why bother and try to make it a point of criticism.

I have not a clue on either but you can spin either....Crap league is the Scottish league better than the MLS. Armstrong is all left foot but plays on the right for killie?  Ask yourself why?

21 goals in 92 games sounds decent, but all bar 4/5 are Penalties

The Hungarian lad  has played at every level for Hungry from u15 to The full International team [8 caps]

Not sure if Armstrong has International honours, but Hungry are a better team than Scotland

As i say you can spin for or against both...Doubt either will rip the league up

Correct, goals scored wasn’t a major issue last season but creativity/breaking teams was

I’ve been an avid follower of MTK Budapest over the years and actually lived over in Hungary for 4 years so got to a few games. Schon would be a superb signing, much too good for league one level.
