It looks like shields could be on the move to India.

Agreed,a central defender is a must,the lad from palace seems to be highly rated so fingers crossed we can pull that one off.i think we will see a bit of lamie and mugabi in the cup games but hopefully not much more than that if we can strengthen that area,moving one of them on would be an ideal scenario.blaney being a starter in the cup games has to be a must if he's in kettlewells plans going forward.

Kofi balmer a defender from crystal palace is being linked to us today.

I'm still not sure 😂

I don't know what's worse that joke or the fact that I actually burst out laughing at it 😂

The writing was on the wall for danzaki after kettlewell saying recently how poor his fitness levels were,it's best all round he's gone,hopefully we haven't taking too much of a hit financially.

308k would be the compensation for Johnstone,who looks like he's off to Sturm Graz according to sky.

I would have liked us to have brought more players in than we have but at the same time I'm actually glad to hear kettlewell say that he needs to move some out before anymore can come in,financially we can't keep adding to the squad while the likes of mugabi,shields and maguire are here,I hope those three are amongst the players that he's looking to get rid of.

A killie fan over on p&b says the lad fowler has now gone on trial with them.

Very decent signing that one.

Take our time and hopefully get it right,we will most likely still be bringing in players right up until the window closes so we will need to be patient,thats a lot better than jumping in early and signing dross off the likes of partick thistle.

Exactly,there's no way we can be going back to relying on mugabi or even lamie for that matter,those days should be over.our upturn in form last season was partly due to getting decent defenders into the team and that's what we should be looking for again and not going with proven bombscares.

According to scott burns,casey is waiting to see if interest from england comes to anything and goss has interest from india.i would like both to stay especially casey but we can't wait around much longer for them to decide.

Agreed about miller,hopefully he shows up well during pre season and puts himself right into contention when the league cup starts as there's every chance he could be heavily involved in they games with cornelious gone and real doubts about goss coming back,I just hope that barry maguire doesn't get any game time before miller as that would be a right sickener.

Fletcher is done and would probably still command a decent wage,I really hope it's nothing more than a rumour and we stay well clear of him.

Paton and obika did well enough as bit part players last season,I'm ok if that's what the plan is for them again this time around.we will definitely need to bring in some that can make a real difference though with van veen gone,butcher missing the start of the season and casey might not be back.

The only good thing is it hasn't dragged on and we have plenty of time to hopefully get two decent strikers in.to move back to holland at 32 and on more money than he's ever been on is brilliant for him,best of luck to him.

I was hoping we wouldn't bring obika back,same goes with mandron,we definitely don't need both.

I agree with that,I think loaning him out for a few months made sense, especially with o'donnell and mcginn in front of him at that point.if hammell had stayed I personally don't think we would have seen much of max and if he did play he would have been hung out to dry in a 4 at the back.the bigger picture is we looked completely doomed at one point,we changed manager who then switched formations and max revelled in it,were just unfortunate that he's going to leave so soon but he played his part in the clubs survival this season.its upto the people at the club to find someone else,I just hope we're looking at keeping the idea of playing with attacking full backs,both max and furlong were excellent at that last season.

I would think any add ons would come from groningen getting promoted back to the top flight.

500k plus add ons for van veen according to sky.

I was never really a fan of either to be honest,I dread to think what they cost us while they were here,brannan to be fair was fond of cracking goal every so often,mainly when the game was on the tele,his goal when we beat hearts in the cup at fir park when they won it the year before was a peach,that was probably my favourite game throughout that whole period.it was definitely an interesting time for us,I was obsessed with reading the papers each morning as we were linked with new players pretty much everyday 😂.

I wish he was going to stay but I get we will end up with an offer we can't turn down,the positive is that it doesn't look like it's going to drag on,if we need to replace him it's best we have plenty of time to do so rather than going down to last days of the transfer window and we find ourselves in a total lose lose scenario.

I think boyle really thought we could take it to the old firm when he took over but he had no clue in running a football club,putting nevin and davies in such important roles was a huge mistake,we needed experience in the dugout and behind the scenes.theres definitely been more enjoyable times following us when we were skint than shelling out fortunes to watch the likes of spencer and brannan.

Groningen have now put a bid in for van veen according to sky
