Imagine we’re done unless Watt leaves and then we’ll look to add another striker.  Likewise if Middleton left we’d sign another player to cover for Ferry.

Time will tell but looks like a very decent window from United.

We need a Striker. Particularly if Watt and MacLeod depart.

 
Harding will be going on loan.

Both Gallagher and Holt missed too many games last season for my liking.

Seve is already out injured.

I think we need another CH first then a striker.

In the 4 league cup games and last week we haven't really looked solid at the back. Plenty going forward but vulnerable through the middle and at the back.

Going Dundee

Makes more sense.  The wee team must get mighty pissed off that the rest of the world assume that it is us that is buying a player.  Dundee who?

I think we'll bring in one more.  We need more options upfront for me.  

If we succeed in moving Watt, Grimshaw and Middleton out then maybe more (or at least a wee war chest for the winter window).  Fotheringham would be an interesting one.  I think the boy has something and that will come out playing with the better players we now have in a better league.  That said, if someone is offering cash and we have plans for the cash then it has to be considered.

Taking into consideration Watt's wage + bonus's etc - I feel we could bring in at least 2 players on this money. 

 
Maybe, but we are no doubt still in a big hole on the back of relegation, so they might see anything they can save on him as a win.

Hearing a young boy on loan from liverpool is on way - Oakley Cannonier

The boy is a fucking charlatan,  should never have even thought about signing him,  I am delighted he is gone.

What are they going to do for eggs at the Cedars?

I guess M'well will be paying no more than 20% of his wages.

Is this from a good source?
Looking at his stats he would seem to fit the bill as hes scored goals at all age groups.

Another forum quoting 40%

Hearing Rory MacLeod signing for Southampton.

15Ok fee - 3 year deal

Rumours that Kai Fotheringham to Crawley is happening too.

 

Never saw anything in MacLeod so not overly fussed.
Is Kai to Crawley a permanent deal?
I thought he might continue to make progress but it looks like some of the younger guys are better prospects than him and have put themselves ahead of him in the pecking order.

 
Macleod is so young he could turn into an amazing player or not. Worries me we are getting rid for such a low fee, Especially to Southampton - a club with a proven and impressive record of identifying & developing young players and selling for big profits. Must be something in the rumours of his attitude.

With the improvements Kai made last season I am really surprised we wouldn’t want to give him a year or two in the top flight to see if he can continue that trajectory. He scored a lot of goals last year for a guy who was in his first season of first team football. If he is going for 500k or more, then fair enough. But if it’s 100k to give to Tony watt for the last 6 months of his contract you can F right off…

Also - Watt did fine for us. Especially last season. Just was never worth the money we spunked on him. Wish him well as it looks like he won’t play for us again.
