  1. I reckon we'd accept £750K+ adds on. I hope it happens, Brighton would be an excellent move for Cadden and it would be good to see him and Murphy together.
  2. I've no bothered going to any of the group games and just clocked I'm away the 3 weeks of the knockout games prior to the final. Good chance of a cup run knowing my luck.
  3. Going my Robinson's post match, we may bring in a defender this week. Fisher will take time to settle, he was brutal at ICT for a while. Writing could be on the wall for Bowman.
  4. Good signings from some of our closest competitors in recent days. Having said that, would want any loan deal from Rangers. Every chance O'Halloran will return to a new manager in January.
  5. Spot on. Andy Rose may come good, despite his reported limitations, but given our budget constraints he looks like a completely unnecessary signing. As you suggest, all our recent success came with a small squad and the quantity over quality route is one that surprises me. We'll see how things transpire but at present, I find our philosophy to flood the squad with English unknowns really dispiriting, particularly when our highly rated youngsters have barely had a sniff preseason. If Robinson wins week in week out then all will be forgotten but I'm slightly envious of the approach Mcculloch is taking at Kilmarnock to re-establish a Scottish identity at the club and give youth a chance.
  6. No sure best prices but I seen 13/8 top 6, 1/2 bottom 6.
  7. If Erwin has his head screwed on, he will be an excellent signing for Kilmarnock. Good luck to him. Can only assume Robinson didn't fancy working with him for a 3rd time.
  8. Last season there was a bit of a battle to get the games at Fir Park. This season the groundsman appears to have won the battle, possibly because 6 out of our first 8 league games are at FP. Disappointing decision as it was intriguing viewing for the support and the opportunity for the young boys to play in front of a crowd at FP was considered invaluable.
  9. Erwin appears to split opinion but I've always been a big fan and he would be a significant upgrade on Bowman and Fisher. He's a talented boy who posses many of the physical attributes Robinson looks for in a player. However, does he have the character Robinson would be looking for? Here are his goals from last season. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yU2ErWcuVRw Given our recent history, I hope he isn't lining up against us on the 1st day of the season.
  10. Don't think O'Halloran would bring disharmony to our squad. Things have went drastically wrong at Ibrox but according to Tommy Wright he's a good character. Rangers are having bother getting rid of Forrester and Windass. O'Halloran is likely to be a more attractive option, particularly for clubs in Scotland.
  11. Terrific news, I think we are all very fond of how McHugh goes about his business. Well done to all involved.
  12. Quite like Polworth from the snippets I've seen, certainly fond of a long range goal. Can't see a deal being possible though unless he has a relegation related clause in his contract and/or we are selling Cadden.
  13. I was thinking Liam Brown but he's generally bracketed with Dylan King.
  14. Sheffield Utd have been linked with Heneghan since his Chester days. Fingers crossed something can happen here. Given the premium on English centre halves (Keane £25m, Maguire £17m) they may view him a worthwhile punt at £250k.
  15. I'd guess a back 3 but for Frear's sake, I hope it's a back 4. Good to see MacLean make the bench, shame Campbell has missed out. On paper, Morton look like a team who could cause us bother. Interested to hear how Quitongo performs as he returns from injury.
  16. Blyth and Watt are the two obvious players we want out. Possibly McManus and Bowman at a push if we don't sell any of our big assets. Regarding MacLean and Campbell, I wouldn't like to see either go out on loan. Both are good enough to make a positive contribution to the first team and should be central to the progression of the club. I accept finances dictate our mass recruitment from down south but we need to leave room for our own products to flourish and help maintain the identity of the club.
  17. I still can't get the video to work. Looks like it could be Shaq.
  18. Aberdeen progressing in Europe despite starting with Stockley upfront. If they are anywhere close to meeting Motherwell's valuation for Moult, surely a fresh bid can't be far away with the next round in mind. With a supply chain of Christie, Stewart and GMS, he'd score a ridiculous amount for them.,
  19. We made an offer for him in January but he wanted to remain down South. Highly rated at Spurs but has failed to fulfil his potential since Peterborough spent a bit of money on him. Strikes me as the type of player that could excite and frustrate in equal measure.
  20. No idea how reliable @TheFLZone is but Shaq Coulthirst is getting a mention on twitter again.
  21. Main concern with this system is that we won't get the best out of Frear. With another couple of signings to come, we can hopefully revert to a back 4.
  22. That is very welcome news regarding Craig Clay, credit to all parties for finding a solution. Good luck to Clay with his new team. You can't question his application or dedication but he was evidently well out of his depth. Assuming Blyth walks, is there any further McGhee deadwood we need to get rid of?
  23. I reckon Killie could be an option if he doesn't mind the plastic pitch. I wouldn't rule out Hibs either despite the events of last summer, particularly if the Stokes deal falls through.
  24. Love Skippy but time to move on. Him and Robinson probably don't see eye to eye.
