I say we hold out for 2-3M you can laugh all you want but if he was at Celtic thats the least they'd get for him

Anyone in the SPL whos contract is running out you think well be looking at? (realistic)

Don't think he'll go there he'll go abroad and if the Chinese windows open during the summer can see him heading their for a pay day

We'll probably lose alot of our important players in the summer suspect we'll be losing between 12-15 players this summer and bringing in around 10 or so suppose the type of player will be dependant on what formation Kettlewell wants to play next season

thats good to know hes been great since he came in could do with him or someone like him in midfield aswell

Realistically outside Van Veen, Johnston who will likely go and Butcher and Casey is there anyone you'd be desperate to keep? Would be intrested to hear who and why.

Is it just me that thinks we should be playing the youth players were basically safe and theres no difference in finishing 7-10th to us get minutes into Lennon and see where he is Luca Ross seemed close under Hammell so why not give him a go weve got nothing to lose and a lot of the current players need to bet let go off

good job were not Hibs then

1 million for Van Veen id let him go hes not getting any younger and gives us some cash to re-invest come the summer we realistically should be safe if we win 2 more games this season.

Well id assume we renew Johnston and sell him on for a big fee at some point in the next year or so. Kelly will have a couple of suitors down south and apparently there is intrest in KVV in Holland so it wouldn't surprise me if we take a fee for him either. Well also have some money albeit not a lot for new arrivals and the reason i wouldn't give Kettlewell the permanent job is we need someone to find gems in the lower leagues and use the loan market to get a better quality of player.

Disagree its like a trial period for the club allows them to see his impact across half a season and the club need sellable assests so will be determined to keep the youngsters like Johnston and Deano and our good players like kvv beyond the end of the season personally would be happy to let all of their contracts run out bar the young players and kvv as theyve been pish all season and let a new manager put his own stamp on the squad

Id give him the gig to the end of the season and get in a new manager then no point just appointing a manger to get us out of bother and have no real direction going forward

Thought Casey and Butcher made a massive differnce at the back Johnston was superb and Goss and spittal were much better all counts for nothing if they dont take the 3 points against Hearts on Sunday tho

so be it idc who it is just keep us Kettlewell showed tonight he can at least get them to show a bit of fight and we werent too bad defensivley

have to say im now thoroughly in the boat of get an old head in for 4 months to try keep us up and get in a manager that can take the club forwards playing half decent football in the summer

I said all along Simo Valakari was who i wanted to replace Alexander however with the current heap of names being mentioned id take Goodwin or Ross unless Lambert decides he wants to come save us. If were going to appoint someone outside the box suspect Mark Fotheringham will be the man

starting to get concerned we have 2 fit cbs and calling Lamie a Defender is kind because hes piss poor at defending we need 4 in the door in 4 hours so ill take a centre half and a striker as priority we need a holding midfielder but thats not looking likely and a Left Back but were skint not exacly confident given our form and league position about the rest of this sason

Solohom out for a fee rumoured to be between 200-300 euro is good business from the club and shields shipped out on loan is good we need 2xcb a Lb a Dm and a forward in the next 6 hours its not looking good.

some of the decisions on players in the last 2/3 years has been apalling how We let O'Hara to St Mirren god knows I would have kept O'Connor but clearly manager never fancied him should have let Mcginleys contract run out aswell and Lamies purple patch fooled us.

I watched the game against EK in the cup and theres a couple of talents there obviously Lennon Miller is the standout in midfield Speirs is also a very talented player who will benefit from a loan and Ross out wide is very raw but direct with a decent strike ive not seen too much our centre halfs coming through dont appear to be anything to special and Wilson is doing alright in L2 on loan from what ive heard outside that Sam Cambell was being linked with Liverpool not long ago not sure whats happened there

Darvels #5 was immense and the #19 was unreal in midfield was like Mark O'Hara when he was playing well for us

Well theres that rumour put to bed we still need a lb,cb,cm and Danzaki to stay up imo and then a huge clearout in the summer

That was a good win we were by no means outstanding but we played fairly well considering our form. Blaney should start evrey week he was organising evreything back there and there was no real threat to our goal. we need a Cdm goss is not the answer in that position god knows how hes still starting evrey week

From what i heard he was deprived off opertunities at goal and wasnt involved in games soundsawfully similar to KVV in that respect

might only be the rumour mill but apparently hes after another winger,Penney,and a centre back if that was to happen id be very surprised but it would be catastrophic for us to go down so we might invest to try and stay up also why were not after a central midfielder only god knows. Apparently weretrying to move Morris on aswell
