McFadden coming back? In two minds about it. Great player but to me there's a risk it would taint his legend if it didn't go well...

Can we please put the Jennings stuff to bed? He did well for us but we move on.. Good news for me is the suggestion that McCall realise we need an experienced midfielder in before the window closes. Even if Law stays, a signing to do for the midfield what Ramsden can do for the defence will be welcome. A player that will help ease the pressure on Carswell and Hetherington to step up week in week out could be crucial...

A lot can happen in the next couple of days. Not saying that they'll be sold by Saturday but if negotiations are at an advanced stage by then, professional as both Law and Hutchinson are, Will they have 100% focus on the game...

Assuming Humphrey is out, I'd go Randolph Hateley Ramsden Cummins Angol Hetherington Lasley Carswell Murphy Higdon McHugh With Humphrey back I'd go Randolph Hateley Ramsden Cummins Angol Humphrey Lasley Hetherington Murphy Higdon McHugh Angol looks good going forward but I worry about Dayton tearing him a new one if fit. Don't think there will be much in it. One goal either way..

Ross Forbes apparently close to a deal with Dunfermline...

Way I look at it is that we have ready made replacements for Hutchinson. I'd be happy to go with Ramsden and Kerr/Cummins/Page/Saunders (when fit)... If we sell both, replacing Law would be the prioriity basically...

To be honest with you, I don't really know what either player is worth. Nicky Law is by far the better player but is older and has less time left on his contract. As someone else has pointed out, current salary tends to impact on transfer value as well. I don't think either of them are worth £1m. Probably about £500k each but we aren't in a strong bargaining position, particularly with regards Law. Which is unfortunate as Hutchinson is the guy we could afford to lose more out of the two.

I think before we rush to bring in another striker, McHugh must be given a chance. Don't have the stats to hand, but his goals to minutes on the park ratio must be pretty good...

Who have Hearts got? And who can we get? EDIT I type too slowly on this phone..

Agree, and as such we should be looking at what team would make the club most money. Liverpool out of those teams looks the pick...

Wouldn't surprise me if we make a move for him. I still believe Murphy will leave so another wing option would be welcome. Would like another body in centre midfield though. As promising as Carswell and Hetherington look, I wouldn't want to put the pressure on them if Lasley or Law were to be injured...

That is a pretty scary looking list of teams...

I guarantee one thing. Whoever we get, right after the draw we fans will say "Oooft, we've no chance", And by kick off time in the first leg, we'll have come up with any number of reasons we have a shout. "Liverpool are bedding in a new team.." "Inter Milan's season hasn't started yet.." "Nancy/Odense/Steaua beat this lot and we ran them close.." Personally, I'd be looking to maximise the club's income from this game. That means Liverpool or Newcastle and a large travelling support, please...

Aye, anyone who was surprised at the way the two games panned out is kidding themselves on. Unfortunately it was always going to be the case that we were going to be facing players with better technique than we have. With the players we have at our disposal we did the best we could have. For 45 minutes tonight, it looked like a professional away European performance. And last week at Fir Park, we at least managed to give them some uncomfortable moments. Any serious analysis of where we lost the tie has to go beyond "Daley's pish" and look at systemic problems in Scottish football. Why, whenever we play teams from a nation bigger than the Faroe Islands, do we find ourselves saying in advance that they;re "technically very good"? Or perhaps the question should be why aren't Scottish teams technically that good? Why can a Greek footballer control a football better than a Scottish footballer? I know one thing. The answer to that question is not "because Omar Daley's pish"...

Putting a positive spin on it, nothing's changed. We needed three goals to go through anyway,,

Hutchinson diving in again. If he's to become the player a lot of Well fans think he is, he needs to cut out the rash tackles...

Aye, if this were the first leg, it would be an outstanding performance. Sadly don't really know how hard Panathinaikos are trying...

I reckon there's scope for that actually being a 4-1-4-1 either Hateley or Ramsden in front of the back four...

Again, I'd suggest you look at how the team plays. He scored a lot of headers for Falkirk, maybe they set up to optimise that? As for corners, only he and Hutchinson have real height and physical presence in our team. Kind of makes us easy to mark at corners, don't you think..?

Does it enter your head that he may have his back to goal more often because of the way we play? That we use him to hold up the ball to allow others to join in the attacks? Just a thought, you understand...

If anyone were crazy enough to bid £1.5m for Murphy and Higdon, I suspect they'd be handed parachutes on the way back from Greece and told to jump out over the appropriate stadium. That's how unlikely it is..

Which website will be best to get a live stream tomorrow..?

You obviously don't sit near me...

Heard talk last night of a smoking zone being discussed as a possibility...

A solid decade of league two experience, yes. As opposed to one to two years of experience in the U19s. Would I rather we had signed a midfielder? Possibly but then McCall would be accused of hampering the development of Hetherington or Carswell rather than Cummins, Murray and Page. I don't see why you are so set against Ramsden anyway. He didn't have a bad game tonight. And he won't play teams of the same quality of Panathinaikos every week...
