Having seen him in the flesh for Coleraine and seen what we have, I presume if there’s truth to this Oran must think he’s an improvement on what we have.

I’d expect a few of Oran’s fellow countrymen to appear in January

Investor! 

Some of his millions might help.

Also suggested we might be in for Paul Smyth, 21 year old northern Ireland international currently at QPR, won their young player of the year last season but out of favour this. 

If true, i'd imagine both him and Lyons would be loan signings, which probably means cheerio to some of our current loanees.

I just hope he is also bringing in a couple of nasty bastards to help us deal with the Hamilton’s of the league.

Ful International caps, hoping Jimmy Nichol can work his magic,

Totally agree, we need a couple of them, one at centre half, and one to play in front of the back four.

I can possibly see this happening, as long as they ARE NOT currently playing in either the Irish republic or Northern Irish Leagues. OK clearly stated at his Q&A, that it would be unfair and possibly a risk to sign a player from a part-time league to full-time set-up during such a crucial time in the season.

I'm fairly sure we've signed a Northern Irish international striker mid way through a season before. He weighed in with some important goals, IIRC

It wasn't a problem for big Bazil Faulty

Ha! Forgot about him. Ok, one out of two ain't bad.

Wonder if Ole Gunnar will want a look at all their players who are out on loan, see yeah Matty?

[aldo_j]

I see Accies have been linked with Tansey. Seems to have not worked for him at Aberdeen, but always liked the look of him at ICT.

Wouldn’t mind seeing him down our way.

The type of signing we should be chasing, six foot plus, has goals in him, spfl experience point to prove, wonder if Brian Rice knows him well enough to convince him to come to us.

He seems capable but may have off the field issues... I may be reading too much into some comments though.

I was sitting near Abdul Osman at the game today. Could he sign in January, not going to well for him in Greece 

[turrabuddie]

I'd take him if available. And what about Polworth, anyone know where he is and if he's available ?

[djchapsticks]

Greg Tansey would be a very good signing for us.

 

I'm hoping we can pull a Jim Goodwin type signing out of the bag...January signing, weakened a rival in bagging him and a complete bastard who we all love and other team's fans detest.

The fact Osman walked round thebtrack and then sat in with the Sts fans would suggest there might be some truth in rumour he might be joining?

[Ethan]

Osman is on the slide. Not the type of player I would like to see at the club.

He was captain at Thistle. He is 31, experienced and a big strong guy. My only concern would be that he missed a lot of last season due to a shoulder injury.

He was poor for Thistle across the last year and was heavily criticised by their fans. Wouldn’t be overly excited by the signing.
