Who's to say a player isn't already on his way out. A deal could be getting worked on as we type. Just saying

Just saying, as in you know something?

My worry about shipping players out is, the lack of depth in our squad. If we ship them out & replace like for like, yes me may get better quality in, but our squad depth doesn't improve. We no doubt need more quality in key areas, but I also feel we need a bit of depth to cope with the soon to come suspension & injuries.

This next two weeks is massive for us, in terms of personnel. Get it wrong or do nothing & we could very well be facing another season down here.

Not a rumour as such.

but noticed Cathro has terminated Tony Watts loan deal.

Worth a punt?

PatReilly · 10/1/2017 12:18 am

Watts is a Charlton player still, is he not Tek? He never appears to have settled anywhere.

yeah Pat he is.

I think he's a decent player too.Maybe it's an attitude problem with him.

I mind Lennon punted him to Lierse on loan as apparently he'd become lazy in training.

Surprised it hasn't worked for him at Hearts though.But then Goodwillie is a shadow of the player he was and their demise has a similar timeframe.

Aye.................. but it wasn't true was it?

I mind Jim McLean guaranteeing supporters gathered in the Tangerine Club that Duncan Ferguson would not be sold to Rangers.
Its not really a rumour though when they are telling you that is the case?

1 thing i will say is although they did say this i have said since that (not aure if on here) that i did think we would bring in.without shipping out.

Maybe they said it in good faith as it was true at the time but since then your favourite chairman has loosened the purse strings

Maybe they just lied again? Who knows.

Nice dig btw you wont get a bite out me

No, I'm just saying that maybe in order to get the Danish lad in, the club were trying to shift someone out the door. Might not happen straight away but they'll be trying to balance the books. Which, I have no issue with.

Seen a rumour we are interested in former Scottish Internationalist's Craig Mackail-Smith.

SuperMario · 10/1/2017 6:48 pm

Ray McKinnon tells @STVSport tonight thatt he's after at least two more players - another striker and attacking mid/wide player. More at 6pm

PatReilly · 10/1/2017 7:00 pm

Craig Mackail-Smith: is this a rumour or something you've told us, Tek?

Anyway, he's been injured a lot recently, but would be an option. I doubt he'd come to play in Scotland though, as he's always featured for south of England clubs, and has turned down better level offers as they were as far north as Yorkshire and Lancashire.

Good forward though.

Just a rumour Pat.

I despise the transfer window

Every day you look and hope to see signings....linked to so many players

Then you sign some pish through panic on the last day

Ex Houston Arab · 12/1/2017 7:35 pm

STV news just said we are close to signing a winger

Arabgrayser · 12/1/2017 9:05 pm

Sounds like Brands after all?

lifesanocean · 12/1/2017 10:16 pm

I think it's the boy from Stirling Albion. Tully has Brands going to the Fun. Although they probably just read iton Twitter.

RM stating in The Courier that Bikey has been training with us but no moves to sign him. The attacker set to sign is another player. Unlikely to happen this week

SuperMario · 15/1/2017 12:22 am

Ray saying we've made a bid for someone, hoping to hear back early in the week! Pls be a winger with quality

Tek · 15/1/2017 12:31 am

It must be the lad Bikey.

He requires a fee.

SuperMario · 15/1/2017 12:55 am

Better no be, we desperately need a winger

He's on an amateur contract, wouldn't require a fee.

He was only on an amateur contract at Stirling WeeDude.Came to Scotland to play for them on trial and get himself games.

Apparently his parent club in France would be due a development fee.

Eddie Ofere trained with the squad today in St Andrews I'm hearing.

SuperMario · 16/1/2017 4:53 pm

Would have rather had him back than the boy we just signed

bowers · 16/1/2017 5:56 pm

Someone who has no kicked a ball from the summer is no good we need boys in who r ready to hit the ground running imo
