Played 30 odd games in the eredivisie last season, can’t be that bad a player.

I’m sure we are all agreed, all of our top targets need to be in before the first European game.

Can’t be waiting around on too many

 
In an ideal world yes, but finishing high up the league again is number 1 priority so if we have to wait a little longer to get a cracking target into the club so be it.

So many loan players leaves us looking very light on quality this summer. But would I have taken the prize money on offer in exchange for a couple of pumpings in the Europa League league stage, yes definitely. The difference there is you get a little more time to blend new players in.

If I have a worry right now it's the financial gulf opening up between Hearts/Hibs/Aberdeen to us.

 
Ultimately we won't be winning the Europa conference league trophy so it's not going to be our priority for the season. But I'd rather be playing in that than against Buckie fucking thistle in the league cup group stages. If anything it might prime us more for the start of the league campaign. If we do really well and reach the group stages then it means a bigger budget and squad for Jim hopefully which cannot be a bad thing. And if not at least we are straight into the next round of the league cup and probably seeded in that too.

Since County are down, wouldn't mind nabbing Hale off them. Scored a decent number for County considering they weren't great. Scored a good few goals in Ireland before coming here also.

Not that arsed about a back up goalie, as we already have one.

It's been a week, FFS United, do something.

Aberdeen have reportedly agreed a deal to sign him.
 

No better than Richards or Adams 

My patience extends until 1st June then.

We know how huge this window is for us. Let’s kick it off with a bang.

Vague rumour or actually happening?

Iurie Iovu Moldovan centre half

Very chequered past, clubs wise, for one so young (22).

Signed to Serie A club Calgiari. Was on the bench several times as a youngster, but never made an appearance.

Signed to Serie B club (and media darlings) Venezia, loaned out right away to NK Istra in the Croatian First Division, and then further loaned out to Deportivo Alaves B Team (which play in what is the fourth tier of Spanish Football).

Can't say, i'm much inspired by all that. It seems like a bit of a wild punt tbh. But we'll see.

We are missing a fucking lot of experience, and not sure this is the area of the team for gambles. Thinking back to 15/16 (Donaldson and Durnan), and of course the three untested young Goalies.

All for youth, vitality and pace further forward, but we already have young Centre Halves (Harding and Graham).

We need a bit of experience in the spine of the team. 

All that said, if there's any truth to it, then i will (of course) judge the lad fairly, when i see him play.

Maybe, i;m panicking over nothing, but all the players we are linked with so far are very young.

Maybe, the experienced bruisers are down the line. We've signed no-one yet, after all.


 

I'm not putting too much stock in to rumours this year at all. That's not to have a go at anyone, but since Goodwin's taken over I don't particularly remember many rumours ever coming true and the club has generally done a decent job of keeping the lid on transfers until they are already over the line or hours away from being announced.

Have to say Lurie Lovu, the Moldovan centre half on loan in Spain from a team in Croatia sounds like like something you'd find after you're a few years deep in to a game of Football Manager
