Tekel Towers » What players would you like us to sign?

I'm ok with our Connoly and Reynolds but I think we should bring in another. I thought I read someone mention McKenzie from St. Mirren. He's definitely an upgrade on Connolly...

We definitely need another keeper. Seigrist did well in the playoffs but as mentioned, he cost us points earlier in the season. If we start next season with him as No.1 then our chances of winning the league are reduced. I'm sure we can pick up a decent, experienced keeper. I've no idea who though.

I like the idea of Gauld.

What about the boys that Aberdeen loaned out the BNBs and the Pars?

Absolutely no chance we could get Walker. Tore it up against Vale both this season when I watched and he will be at a higher level, minimum league one, possibly bottom end of the championship.

Jordan White is a useless sack of shite. Total lack of ambition if we are in for him.

Sorry I don't have any names but we're BADLY needing a creative central midfielder in the Charlie Millar/Scott Fraser(!)/Scott Allan mould.

Ryan Gauld but what's happened to him?

Scott Fraser 🤣.

Gauld for me. In a league where he would be head and shoulders above the rest. Just hope he had developed physically enough.

I heard £2m budget for Championship and £4m if we went up.

Sounds ridiculous and likely is.

There were figures on Twitter today showing that the wage bills in 2017/2018 were in £millions

Dundee 3.5
County 3.8
Well 3.9
Killie 3.1
Thistle 2.8
Hibs 5.3
Hearts 7
Sheep 8.6
Huns 24.1
Celtic 59.3

So probably not that far away from the truth at 4 and 2.

If Benji goes we need 2 keepers,
Possibly a LB
A solid CH
2 centre mids
2 wingers
2 strikers

MockChop · 31/5/2019 10:17 pm

Ryan Hardie

Who leaves under contract might be a surprise. I just hope the Ogrens have grown into feeling more for the club they own and we love and also realise how the situation has changed with dundee fc in the same league.

Any idea if this is just a rumour or a move that may happen. I am just wondering as I have seen the name linked so far. Granted I gave not necessarily been paying attention to all tranfer talk so far.

I would be happy to see it happening in saying that though.

MockChop · 02/6/2019 9:26 pm

Hopefully 1/2 in this week and 3/4 out.

MockChop · 02/6/2019 9:27 pm

^just my opinion there, no info

Agreed

Sam Nicholson and Chris Cadden have signed for us apparently. Be happy with that.

MockChop · 02/6/2019 10:46 pm

Particularly interested in Nicholson if true

Cadden and Nicholson's deliveries from wide areas and a big striker alongside Clark up top.

We'll stroll it next season.

Would be very happy if true. Heard about Nicholson a few weeks back, but heard nothing about Cadden, Motherwell would apparently be due £400k if he leaves, Ogren must be chucking money at us getting out of this division this year.

There is no danger we’re paying 400k for anyone.

ArabChris · 03/6/2019 12:05 am

Half the fee to £200k and offer Loemba in part exchange that should do it 😊😊.

In all seriousness I would assume that £400k would have ended any interest if there was any there, certainly I had not heard the name mentioned before now.

Where you hearing that mate? Decent source?

Chris Cadden is a decent Premiership player. Would be a bit of a coup actually.

The Nicholson one has been doing the rounds for a few weeks now but is playing for a team in America..

He's out of contract in October I believe.

Pre contract and get him when the American season ends then?

Tangy · 03/6/2019 3:18 pm

Cadden would be great but surely unlikely (I'd love it if it happened mind you).

Playing a league above, newly capped by Scotland- doesnt strike me as a lad who'd fancy the championship....it could be his brother who was on loan at ayr?
