Still no new signing if it’s Whyte then .

Definitely going to be him now you've said that lol.

I imagine Whyte might end up being quite a cut price if we have a sell on fee... to ourselves?

I think sell-on fees are normally based on the profit after the original fee is deducted, so I can't see it being a factor here.

How do we feel about re-signing Whyte then?

For me, it would be a little underwhelming.

Good player. Many assists. No end product (last season at least).
That said, given half the chance, and if he were to play in the RW position regularly, he may well start finding form again.

My only concern is that we seem to cycle through the same players expecting a different outcome.

So for me, a good squad player, but to challenge for promotion we should only be signing better than what we have/had.

I agree to a certain point but if he can re-find his form b4 he left for Cardiff thier is a good player in there and if he brings his shooting boots aswell lol

Oh wowza. If that’s true, that’s a big brain moment from the club! Haha.

Whyte also did well in the Hull side that won promotion out of this league didn’t he? If he can regain his pre Cardiff form he will be a fantastic signing

If he plays on the right, I'd be content with the signing. He's half the player when played elsewhere.

That's the thing with KR always tinkering with the side and plays players quite regularly out of their main position and most do struggle to adapt.

Slight contradiction in your statement there.

Based on last season's performances, also a bit underwhelmed. He looked to have had most of his positive qualities dulled down by his time away. Maybe he can regain them, maybe not.

But I really hope we aren't just trying to rebuild the team that finished last season with such a whimper - surely we will have identified areas that need *strengthening* rather than just maintaining at last season's level?

We don’t have a kit ready as our commercial team couldn’t get a sponsor!
So our owners have had to sort one!! Nothing to do with holding out for the home games!

We’re close to the overseas centre back. Hopefully this next week. A decent U21 left back from the Premier League on loan. If we can sign one of the two midfielders we’re trying, they’ll be a good signing. One is wanted by a couple of Championship teams, possibly training with one currently, a free agent who was in league 1 last season.
The other has played for a premier league team a couple of times last season, which will be a loan.
Jones will be signed on a pay as you play deal if impresses enough in the games. A deal like Bodin was on last season.
Whyte is available again, we’re interested in a perm. And another winger on loan.
Holland took less wages at MK than we offered.
And after a young striker on loan.

Slow down kids, I had to go back ten pages to find this gem!

The commercial team excelling themselves again it seems.

Whyte would be a good player in his position. None of Karl's tinkering.

But. And it's a big but. We are basically rebuilding the same team that was found statically short both in terms of depth and mentality last season. It's not the answer.

And the whole of my post, that's what you chose to respond to?

By end product, I meant goals (by him).

Pardon my mistake.

 

[Leysboy]

If Gavin Whyte is indeed signing for us, then it’s a strong signing. He and Browne on either wing is very good at this level.

Gavin has lots of pace as we all know, and is great at creating goal scoring opportunities. My only criticism of Gavin Whyte is his composure in front of goal. At times it feels all a bit rushed, rather than being calm and deciding what to do.

Like I said if he joins then we will have two brilliant wingers on the left and right side.

I like them. I can't lie.

 

[Mythbuster3000]

If Gavin Whyte signed for another Lg1 club, moaners would be saying we missed out due to poor recruitment. You can’t win unless it’s Messi!

To some extent. But you don't throw the baby out with the bath water. KR is looking to add quality to what was a strong squad. We have removed the dead wood already. More quality to come

 

[RyanioBirdio]

We still need at least two defenders. Even if this new recruit being spoken about is one of them, he doesn’t mention a second in his remaining shopping list. Also seems a bit weird that with both Gorrin and Smyth already in the building, a third CDM is being mentioned. Wait and see I guess.

Would be happy with Whyte coming back as one of the wingers. If he came back permanently I think he would feel settled. Could be the sort of security he needs to throw the shackles off and get back to being the player we had first time around.
