If only the management had used him better ...  he was time and again thrown in to be the creative attacking midfielder or shadow striker and after his goal against the Scum at Ibrox, essentially vanished totally from the field of play despite being there. Would do very well in the English environment, where he will get time and space for his style of play.

 

People will disagree, but we paid next top nothing for him and 3m+ will be a major coup and will help SG improve the squad even more.

Perhaps SG will get more out of Windass ?

 

We will lose both Windass & Morelos at some point sooner rather than later I’d suggest. We need to ensure they get replaced adequately.

Without being willing to turn this in a pro/con-Windass debate: we actually have enough cover for Windass already, not least if we decide to go 4-3-3 as some suggest. Murphy can play across the front line and also as a shadow striker, Arfield is there, Ejaria and Dorrans too. Our left flank in a 4-3-3 would be John - Arfield - Murphy. The right probably Tav - Docherty - Candeias. In the middle it is Rossiter, McrCrorie, Jack and possibly Coulibaly. Windass' best bet is if we play "two" up front and he's the shadow striker. Honestly though, I'd rather have two full-blooded strikers in there.

 

At the end of the day, it will be up to Windass to decide what is best for him. If he choses Cardiff, Swansea et al over the Gerrard revolution, I for one wouldn't lose any sleep.

If you look at the stats of Barry Ferguson then it won't be full of goals but he had an important role in the team.

I like Windass but I find it hard to believe he’s what SG wants in his team right now.

Aye, to pass the ball sideways ?.

He was good for a couple of seasons but later it was all about Barry and not the team.

In the end he was an arsehole.

He came through before Auchenhowie was opened and we haven't produced a player as good since....but yes, tendency to be an arsehole didn't help his career.

Goals apart he is just too lazy unless SG has managed him to get him mentally attuned in contributing fully.

Loan deals are pointless.
