I was hoping we'd be interested in him, mainly due to seeing his name on the scoresheet almost every week. Just like I hoped we'd sign Derek Adams and Neil Tarrant, but I'm confident about this one

Do other club's supporters obsess over their administrative staff as much as ours do? If AB left, would we have a thread discussing his replacement? The owner and the board decide where the money goes, the GM does what the board tells him. As far as direction, we've had a pretty decent time of it post-administration with a decent few cup runs, league finishes, and European games. There have been some dips in there, but we are currently in a worse lull than the Malpas season, and we are getting by on other teams being worse right now. Employing an unknown quantity after McCall was the wrong decision, and his signing policy has set us back a few years. We are going to see another large turnover of players in the summer, and I'll admit that I'm not too keen on McGhee being the guy to recruit our next squad based on his record with signings.

Sure the club said the other deals depended on other things falling into place, so probably meant the other club had to sign someone first (like hearts did with cowie before we got gomis). So those deals will be dead, and we have moved on to free agents.

singling out a player in front of the media is a poor show. However, what happened in the dressing room is a total non story. That sort of stuff happens all the time at every level of every sport.

I can see the three centre mids happening, with ainsworth and Marvin on the wings and skippy up front alone.

Same lineup from Saturday, gomis on bench.

last year's window was fun, but was essentially an exercise in throwing shit against the wall. The summer wasn't much different. The best thing we did in the last few weeks was to move on the ones that didn't stick, allowing us to add a player better than what we had and possibly one more. We've been playing relatively well since McGhee took over, so the last thing we needed was another invasion, especially with wholesale changes pending in the summer.

Going to St J apparently

Twitter mention of billy Mehmet, which would be weird.

I think Reid's departure was probably one of the things that needed to be tied up before we could proceed with bringing another one in. Good luck to the guy.

He's a guy that Craig levein signed three times, so we know that he's a dirty bastard.

Can we get Higdon, law and Faddy signed before Groundhog Day?

Higdon released by Sheff utd.........

I want to keep him forever, but he should prob go somewhere where he can get games.

Guessing he was surplus once they signed cowie

We're just as likely to get him this time as we were last year.

Guess it depends if we're looking for stop gaps, or if we're going to try another Marvin/moult type deal. This time last year there were no substantial rumours either. There were a million names flying around Twitter, but none of them happened (argentine keeper, Hungarian winger, mcgeady!) but Straker, Laing, long, Thomas, grant, and Johnson were all under wraps until the last minute (literally) and I'd expect the same strategy tomorrow. We also came close to a few that collapsed, so tomorrow will be interesting. Does anyone know any of the names we lost out on last year?

Unless killie have been planning locke's departure behind the scenes, I doubt they'll be making wholesale changes tomorrow. Hamilton will sell somebody and replace him with five Spanish diddies, and utd will sign about 7. We'll reject a 50k bid from rangers for Marv, and sign another one of skippy/mick/pearo's pals.

Googled for someone who is agressive, strong and can hold his own when the going gets tough, but has a bit of flair and will go down at the slightest touch, and this guy came up.

Dalton Castle.

Two nice goals for us ruined by the softest penalty I've ever seen, but that ref will be getting paid to officiate another game next week and his colleagues will close ranks around him and defend that awful decision. Fans would have been pissed if that was given as a foul anywhere else on he pitch, never mind a penalty. If that's what you can get a penalty/foul for now, then the game's up.

I'm now waiting for this one to appear on Twitter, as a question to either flow or some journalist.

Look back to last January and you'll see that these signings tend to come out of nowhere, whereas in the summer there tends to be more in the way of rumours due to there being more time. Also the communication from the GM was that we had to clear out first, then we'll be wheeling and dealing.

Seeing mentions of clarkson to st mirren on loan on the Twitter

Twardzik is a possibility, and Faddy (if his deal in the states is still a goer). Other than that it will most likely be a couple of youngsters out on loan. So we should have the wages freed up from Grimshaw, Taylor, Robinson, and poss twardzik and one other to put towards a half decent midfielder or two. I'm guessing these will be loans.
