St.Ricky Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 1 hour ago, MenstrieSaint said: Heaton can go out on loan to get experiece , same goes for King and Kepwena , but not going to be part of our plans this season I think you have a point here. Anton Ferdinand and Gus MacPherson highlight the need for experience to come in during January. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46309996 We will attempt to retain Adam Hammill. The players who have featured in the past 4 games are, IMO, likely to remain. One or two with injuries will remain. The rest is up for grabs. A lot of wheeling and dealing to do.

W6Saint Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) I’d expect Lyness to go given he nearly went to Airdrie recently anyway. King, Kpekawa, Heaton and Kirkpatrick will all surely be away. Would have had Cooke and Jones down as certainties too but both have pushed their way back into plans admirably. Smith and McShane also strong possibilities I reckon (and I suspect their reactions to being subbed recently indicate that). Can’t see Edwards or Hodson going anywhere, both are selected reguarly. Willock is a tricky one, he keeps the ball really well. Only really him, Magennis or Hammill have the ability to drive us forward with the ball, having said that he goes missing frequently through games and i’m not sure OK fancies him too much. Other than that perhaps Adam Hammill rejecting the chance to stay on? Certainly going to be an interesting window...

No point wasting our time with them any further. Also, it would very underhand to actually saddle some other poor bastards with them! Best to cut our losses.

Jack the lad Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 So how much do people think it's going to cost us to get rid of all these players, some who still have a year or 2 left on their contracts? They're not gonna walk for nawt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not gonna walk for nawt! Our best bet may be to loan out a number of them. Next best bet is that a few want a regular game in a lower league. Both depend on other clubs wanting them. Neither of these options are free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, so basically IF we bring players in we'll be increasing our wage bill as nobody will want to take some of the dross we have off our hands at their cost!

MenstrieSaint Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 First of all I would try and put players out on loan , just give them game time and the opportunity to show they have got something , maybe getting five players out on loan might get us enough money in to get a couple of decent players in , they also might play well when out on loan , andcome back better players.

As myself and others have said. Put a few of those considered to have potential out on loan. Move a few on who want game time (some might need a pay off). Bring in a few experienced players looking for game time and a permanent move in the summer. Mistakes in any business cost money to correct.

Sweeper07 Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 It's now less than 3 weeks to the Transfer window opens No doubt lots of phone calls, paperwork and hopeful plans in place - both directions. Speculation is growing of some very positive additions which are being worked on, but getting kept under wraps for obvious reasons . . . It should be no surprise in football that if you want 4 players in you have to have at least 12 lined up . . . so here is hoping 1st choices buy in, sign and succeed. HOPE for surviving this season and EXCITMENT for next : once we get a full plan in place for the Summer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it would be quite interesting to be a fly on the wall regarding this. Would love to know who Stubbs had as his first choice signings in the summer for example. Same with Tommy Craig.

Not much of a secret that Stubbs’ Plan A was Anthony Stokes, Plan B was Adam Rooney, and Plan C was... well, unfortunately we found that one out. Always wondered who was on Tommy Craig’s infamous list that he waved around at that Q&A however... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 The main problem at this time is budget we can't compete with teams above us at this time. However if 12 are out with around 4 in surly there is good deals on the table ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transfer news Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) I think we should go for Jay Emmanuel Thomas as he is a pacey winger who can do a job up top Edited December 16, 2018 by Transfer news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
