Liam Donnelly linked now. 

Not for me. Lad is either constantly injured or a bit of a headless chicken. He wouldn't improve our starting XI.

If this is the calibre of player we are looking at it could be a long season ahead

Matty Kennedy and Kyle Magennis to Killie. Getting their biz done early - bit like us last season.

I had hoped we might have made a move for Morton Full backs Liam Grimshaw and Lewis Strapp .

Nothing good happening  for Robbo early in the transfer window this time round.

I heard it from a reliable source  (burger van guy) that SR was on holiday last week, back this week so might see some movement soon 👍

FlareyBob has contacted me and said there's definitely 2 signings being made next week with another 2 cooking away in the background... he's refusing to reveal the names untill he has received at least 10 apologies from 10 posters on here.. (yous know who you are he said) they'll be no more exclusives until his demands are met....  

[portmahomack saint]

He also said Faraways a dick but I was to keep that to myself.... 

That's why I left it out

No news is good news so they say. 

The window shuts in August so no panic yet

Grimshaw, absolutely not. Glad he's at Utd.

Strapp would be a good option at left back as backup if we had someone established there.

As it stands, we should be looking at a first choice LB and making Tanser the backup and I'm not sure Strapp is that person.

I see the option to buy is set at £250000 . That’ll be a season loan then 😂

We are not exctly following the model of signing to develop & sell on

But it's the Record so very possibly bollocks, they have Gogic as an exaple of our international scouting set up

Really? With this being how we are signing one player? We could be signing to develop and sell on with the rest? One option for one player doesn't it be a model to follow, does it?

£ 250K?  Before we even talk about salary?

I thought the model was to sign a low or no upfront cost and then make a profit

[billyg]

It's interesting , because by agreeing an option to buy , we will have first shout on him.  Meaning , if he tears this league up and the OF or any English Championship club try to pinch him, as usual , we'll be holding the cards !

He's 20 years old.

If we sign him on a season long loan and he scores 15 goals next season, we have the option to make that permanent for £250k. In that scenario, we'd splash the money then move him on for significantly more than that.

Several sides in England's championship are well aware of the lad and have been watching him so we've essentially been given a foot up here and if he's good enough to move south, we've already agreed we can get him for significantly more than his transfer value.

IF that is all true though, I see elsewhere he's out of contract and we'd be able to get him for a development fee.
