Excellent reading . Think a muga cover would do the job .

They could probably stick a sports barn type thing in its place . A very basic structure that's unheated , but would keep out the snow and rain and allow training to take place.

Mind Snodgrass and McKenna being very effective for Stirling albion . Excellent strike Partnership.

Keiran Offord reminds me of a young Billy Dodds , plays up top and constantly hassles the oppositions back four . Clyde fans were even suggesting he was bullying their centre half last week . Quite impressive for an 18 year old . Think his career is progressing well and he will learn loads from Connor Salmon and Brian Rice .

I was one of those people . Very happy to be wrong . Would like us to sign a fast left sided player who can play left back and left wing . Wonder if Martin Foyle gas seen one lurking about the lower leagues .

I would prefer us to keep big Joe , there's always injuries and suspensions so we will probably need him over the course of the season . Don't think he will be short of offers , and if Joe going allows another one or two to come in I would be reasonably happy . Mind this time last year Jim Goodwin was talking up his central defence of Dunne and Shaunessy . This week could be quite interesting .

Very much my thoughts . Four central defenders to cover three positions are the norm . He is also able to cover 8n central midfield. Its a long season so cover required all over the pitch . Excellent signing .

Despite the fact that he continually launches over long passes , I still find him hugely likeable .

I like Ayunga he puts that wee bit extra effort in , he's good on the air and he likes a mazy run . I actually think he might be really effective playing behind two strikers as an attacking midfielder , can't see us starting with that set up . But can see us using it in the last quarter if we are behind .

I'm hoping he might be one of these players that is more effective when he's hitting teams on the break with lots of space to chase the ball into rather than play against two tight banks if four . With that in mind I,ll give him a few more games before I make my mind up on him .

Not necessarily just about the original transfer fee . Add ons and a cut if the sell on fee are also hugely important. I would be disappointed if Saints have agreed a fee . You would think they would sit tight and see what other offers are out there . Not all players highly rated as teenagers go on to be million pound players so cashing in now isn't a bad thing . The pick of this group of youngsters may be under the radar now. We just have to trust the management are doing what they think is best .

Don't have a problem with compensation fees being paid for teenagers , it's not the best model as there are no guarantees .

Northampton moved the ball well and looked a strong physical team this evening . The goals we let in from open play were very poorly defended . The team for the second half was very young and it was good to see them get a run out . OHara looked very good , I think Alunga will cause teams problems. We were never going to win after making the five subs ( tried to get a bet on at that moment but couldn't) . But all in all a decent run around .

Shaughnessy bunging in throws from the right big Dec bunging in throws from the left . Four big men in the middle. And four guys who can shoot round the edge of the box . Defences will hate playing against us .

So thats who we were interested in if the Gallagher deal had been offered. I do though wonder if we have thus guy in mind to replace Dunne if he moves on .

Robinson come across as a passionate guy . Yes I believe he,s capable of upsetting people . Maybe his style is about getting the issue out the way and not let it build up and fester . Can't all be bad as a few former players happy to play for him again .

Can see it being a straight swop with Aberdeen continuing to pay most of his wages .

Wonder if someone could clarify. Does a parent and two children season ticket count as one or three season tickets ?

I think now is the right time for Villa to sell McGinn before he hits the final year of his contract and is tempted to play it out . He looked jaded towards the end of last season , but he did play loads of games , these guys didn't get much rest pre season last year with the Euros do I think clubs will take that into consideration. He will get a decent rest during the World Cup . So will be a very good signing for a club aspiring to be top six next season .

Can also see them trying to sign Hladky , McGrath and Ronan.

Aberdeen are loaded. Think they will sign at least 12 players . Can see them being interested in Dunn ( well documented) and Brophy , a very good player , who would be so much better in a very attack minded team . And think that they might make a bid for Henderson in the hope that they can can convert him into a wing back to take over from Ramsay .

Well done Saints for bringing in a few new faces , looks like interesting times ahead . I'm thinking we,ll be saying good bye to a few players by the end of the month , reckon a couple will be off to Aberdeen . Very pleased about how things are progressing , just have a feeling a few will be moving on to make way for the new signings.

Strange stats . If you go onto the Billericay town YouTube page , there's two games on it where he scores two goals. He looks very much like a goalscorer and does seem to have a bit of pace . Could potentially be another Junior Morias .But he may be a bit faster and with the right coaching could improve . The video clips suggest he knows where the goals are .

Yes please

Im looking forward to what Martin Foyle will bring to the club , especially the six players I haven't heard of that will be signed on his recommendation.
