Jury defo out on Brophy, see how fans are if he hasnt scored in 3 games...

No it isn't. 🤣

[Ayrshire Saints 4,782]

Is he not on a season long loan to Fleetwood town? 

Seems to be but the 3 club rule isn't in play anymore so that wouldn't make a difference if Blackburn decided to offload him.

Is he a "huge fine beast of a man" ?

No, your thinking of Quaner.

No Oaksoft thought Morias was a huge solid beast of a man, bit strange as he was tiny!

No, I wasn't being serious.  Just no smiley's today.

Looks like it's getting cut short.

I generally quite liked Mulgrew as a player, but surely he’s well past it now?

Where would we see him fitting in? Cover at CB or DM?

Not for me this one. 

[RossCSmfc 492]

I think Mulgrew would still be okay at this level. Adequate cover for Shaughnessy/McCarthy but not sure he would be keen on sitting on the bench unless we intend on changing shape. Definitely don't think he's got the legs to be a midfielder anymore.

He'd be able to fit in at Left back as well.

That would be ideal. Lack of pace is always a fear for me in the full back positions but Tait and Fraser have been fine. Some left foot for set pieces too.

Do you think there’s a chance of this one going through?

[Ethan 1,069]

Would be a great signing IMO. Hits a great free kick and reads the game well.

No idea, I hadn't heard a thing until @billyghad mentioned he'd heard a rumour of it over on P&B.

Tait has been skinned a few times by some of the quicker players.

If we were looking for cover on the left, then I'd be looking for someone with a bit of speed to counter opposition forwards with a bit of pace.

If we are looking at Mulgrew, then it's a strange one, unless someone is leaving.

Was about to say that if someone comes in at CH then I think Foley will almost certainly be away. Understandable that we'd hang onto him until a replacement is in the door.

[rabuddies 1,403]

He's 35 in a few weeks so obviously a short term signing.

[Sonny 9,247]

Mason will be out for a while. Maybe longer than anticipated leaving us no cover on the left.

Not so good with pens though 

[truesaint 485]

Wonder if Fitzy is doing his bit trying to scout via fans forums. 🤐

Yep...but it might be an opportunity to suit all three parties?

How much would you except for Mulgrew ?

I rather keep Foley if the alternative was Mulgrew. Especially given I’d expect Mulgrew to come at a significantly higher cost. 
I rate Foley at centre back.

Quietest speculation thread for many a Window.

Is this a sign that we think all our business has been done?

I think that’ll be it unless anyone else leaves unexpectedly.

Did JG not say he was looking for defensive cover?

Is that players or managers?

[ALBIONSAINT 1,710]

Maybe a late super signing on the last day
