Speculation Thread

Who would you like as a replacement/deputy for the so called NO. 10slot with both our current incumbents side-lined for the foreseeable future?

Danny Olmo has looked pretty decent.  How much did we get for Bolton again?

It's time for Jameson to step up and he could fill that role for a couple of months at least

No doubt a loanee, or Irish player from EFL 1/2 will be the manager's choice

We should all be very grateful for that.

Unless Smyth is going to be cover.

I'm not sure we need cover for Kiltie at this stage, more important is another central defender.

Hmm not sure how accurate this is. Think we need a RCB not a left.

Would play Sutherland in an advanced role on the left to cover for Kiltie

Not often we pay a fee for anyone - have to assume he is slotting in as a starter 

[elvis]

He does have bags of experience and paying a fee would make that more than likely he's starting.

Apparently Hibs were also in the hunt for him - could be paper talk but either way he had a very productive 3 years at County and played 38 games last season 

A good age 

So, all in all a very good signing

We are still  short of creatine  attacking options especially with our current injury list and I assume Robbo will address that before the season starts 

[northstbuddie]

Sounds a good signing going by this Wiki article:-

I think he might well be a very good signing, I like the way he seems to relish a tough game.  A tall solid player as well

As for the creative side, I have a suspicion that the manager will sit it out and wait for the crocks to return in the autumn.  We might well have to roll the dice on a couple more signings if we get through the conference qualifiers and have a good draw in the play-off, should we get there.

I think that's where the club are in a much better place....no matter the mewlings from certain people, we now get money for players we are shifting on (or are leaving eg Bolton) which allows us to do a wee bit more than just pick up free transfers and/or out of contract guys.

Pretty much what I though as last season finished.

Our final league position and qualifying for Europe were massive for us and pushes us into a different level from the majority of seasons when we were fighting it out with the bottom feeders. 

Financially better off and we, as a club, are more attractive to players.
