Would hope new signings could gel with John McGinn

What a signing he'd be.

Would get rid of Rogers , Hodgson , Heaton , McKenzie , Eckersley , Flynn , Willock , McShane , Edwards and Kirkpatrick and hope to get six players in , experienced keeper , centre half and holding midfielder and three attacking players . 

Would hope new signings could gel with Ferdinand , Hammill , John McGinn , Magennis , Jackson and Stephen McGinn to get a decent starting eleven .

Lynass , Baird , Jones , Erahon , Mullen , McPherson  and Smith would make up the rest of the squad .

Add Cole Kepenya to that list to get rid of forgot about him

[MenstrieSaint]

Add Cooke to the ones worth keeping ,with potential to move 12 out , we should be able to bring six good players in

I'm currently wearing it on the thread talking about the price of going to a match in 1987.

Will give you a shout when I'm done.

No point in anyone mentioning Mackenzie as a potential outgoing. He's not going to be fit until February so no one is going to be willing to take him on.

Lyness, Kpekawa, King, Heaton, Kirkpatrick, McShane, Flynn, Willock, Eckersley and possibly even Cammy Smith given he is apparently unhappy. Of course Hammill as well dependant on whether he wants to stay.

Is Heaton fit?

Going to be a bitter pill to swallow to walk away from the 75k transfer fee if he is really so bad we release him after 6 months!

Surely there must be some potential there?

1st choice keeper will be going nowhere ! I reckon Smith's days in Paisley are numbered

OK spoke about him a bit at the q and a a few weeks ago and didn't mention a lack of fitness or injury keeping him out the team.

Said that it's Josh's job to make him select him. The fact that he hasn't yet speaks volumes in my opinion.

Very expensive lesson learned hopefully.

Don't get the wish to get rid of Hodgson since he moved to right back he has been one of the betters players in the team.  Also puzzled how Willock could start nearly every match for a much better St Johnstone side than we have at present and struggles to get in the squad, in fact I thought he done well last night when he came on showed a willingness to put his foot in and had good composure on the ball.  Much rather loose Edwards than either of these two.

Exactly. Also, Lyness is only contracted until January so presuming he isn’t kept on, we’ll already be searching for one goalkeeper.

I agree with most of this but Edwards is,  in my opinion,  a decent squad player with high energy levels.  I would keep him.

Things not looking good on the injury front after last night.

Willock played in only 11 or 12 games for the Fakes and I think a number of these were only as a sub...

Like you I think Hodson is a player we should hang onto unless we can get someone even better...

I'm presuming Magennis and Mullin?  Are we talking long term or what?

We need good old fashioned cluggers for Livi anyway. Willock and Edwards fit the bill.

No clear answers on either yet.  Thoughts seemed to be that both would be assessed today.  If Magennis has a hamstring injury then talk is that he may be out for4 weeks.

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
