If we sign him, and that's a big if, I'd hope it would be a one year deal with us having the option of a second. Certainly don't want to see a 3 year deal for a 31 year old coming back from a big injury.....

Still good business by us. Hume has shown nothing up to now. Thought he might have taken the chance. He was awful against heerenveen.
Then again their winger looked a tidy player
 
RR mentioned him and his brother as freebies available this morning. The lad reporting it is a shitehawk that works for HITC I believe.
 
I'm Swedish and I have some fresh info om Martin Olsson. Martin and his twin brother Marcus are currently training with swedish top flight team Helsingborgs IF here in Sweden, they are both from the city Helsingborg and started their careers in a local team here(Högaborgs BK) , same team as Celtic legend Henrik Larsson who is coaching Helsingborgs IF now.

Well anyway, Martin and his brother are not currently fit for a game yet but Martin said in the local news paper a week ago that he feels he can be fit in 2 weeks and ready for some match action. So he is not so far away from being fit but match finess seems far away yet. So if we sign him it's for later in the season, if so he is a good addition according to me.

People around here thinks he and his twin brother are going to sign for Helsingborgs, I live in the city and and have a season card since I'm also a fan of Helsingborgs IF for over 30 years. Martin himself says they are interested but also weighing up their options and looking around both here in Sweden and abroad. The feeling is they are both feeling a bit home sick and want to move home to Sweden. That's just what the local gossip is saying.

Had a bit of sympathy with Hume on Saturday he was left high, dry and isolated by Flanagan on quite a few occasions.

Anybody blaming Hume for Saturday's performance doesnt really understand football IMHO.

We asked a kid learning the game to do two mens jobs and be the teams main creative outlet with no support from his 3 underworked defensive partners and with strikers who couldnt be arsed to move very much.

It was a tactical disaster and the blame should be placed at the manager's door and not on Hume.

He was awful mind. The lad has responsibility for his own performance as much as I agree about the tactics & set up.

Poor in pre season too so hasn’t done anything to win his place which is disappointing

Great post - Flannagan to blame for not getting across to support him, Ross to blame also.

Grigg was also hopeless.

Blaming Hume is harsh imho - the underlying reason needs looking at but football is about opinions.

Need a left back now not later in the season so it's a no if that's the case.

Anar but his performance seemed universally marked as awful. Coming off the back of a poor pre season and he’s not doing anything to play himself into the team.

If we are looking at Olsson then he’ll be coming in as first choice, that would be directly because Hume hasn’t earned his spot imo.
