fizoxy Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 I’m going to guess we’re hoping for one of the two keepers to bite on the contract offer. As for the outfield players he mentioned, the out of contract players in 2020 (who aren’t new signings) are - Tait, Hartley, Dunne, Donnelly, livingstone, grimshaw and Maguire. I’ll take a guess at Tait, Dunne and Donnelly. I don’t think any of our new guys are in the Kipre scenario of an immediate extension. It’s great so see us act early, which is probably related to the money we got in for the young players we lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very difficult to see that happening, surely it’s a case of getting fit then a probable move to Celtic which has all but been agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Depends how the Celtic deal was left. If its totally up in the air maybe DT would appreciate the security we are offering, knowing we wont stand in his way if a big club comes back in for him. Cant see Celtic giving any assurances before they know the result of any op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermarv Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 The striker that played up front for Solihull moors last season who scored a tonne of goals, signed for Blackpool but now been made available for loan. Same thing happened with Hartley there. Could see us being in for the player (Adi Yussuf). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinnae-punt-it Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 So anyone got any insight as to who we might sign tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldaft Mk1 Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Possibly no -one A 3-0 home win v Hibs suggests we have a reasonably strong squad. With Hartley settling back in do we need another centre back. It looks as if we were talking to Celtic about Hendry but he looks to be off to Killie as part of a deal for Taylor. We also have Turnbull and possibly Tanner to come in and who knows we may even see Sloth at some point. Up front maybe but again I thought Cole looked fairly decent in his short stint on the park. Got a couple of shots off on target and looked quite assured. Long missed a few yesterday but on another day could have had a couple of goals.

Going by Robbo's recent comments and yesterday's performance I think we'll try to sign a No 9 striker and a central defender. Despite scoring 3 yesterday we missed a barrowload of chances which, if that continues, could prove costly. We also don't have anyone who can play as a lone striker, should we want to play that way. Robbo was quoted as saying that when Hartley wasn't available for the Hearts game we were short in central defence, and as nothing has changed since then, I assume he's still looking to sign someone for that role. Speculating a bit we do seem short on the wings, and as both Hylton and Seedorf are inexperienced at this level a decent winger might also be on the agenda. We usually play our cards close to our chest when signing players and I expect this window will be the same, so nothing would surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 The twitter rumors have livingstone going out on loan (fair enough) and us losing out to Killie for Hendry (double fair enough). I’d be surprised if we didn’t bring in a striker tomorrow, and possibly a defender. However it seems we’ve had some deals fall through lately, so who knows what happens tomorrow. It’s Labor Day here so I can sit all day refreshing twitter in the comfort of my own home, rather than my desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Cole looks likes he could play the lone striker role if we get him fit enough for 90 mins. He offers more physicality, hold up and pressing than Long. Having said that, if Long can get a bit sharper in front of goals he could be looking at a decent tally this season. Another option up top, however, wouldn't be a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be surprised if he chooses us over Killie given that he knows the club and their offer will be somewhat higher than ours. That said he might well get gametime with us whereas he'd probably be a bench warmer at Rugby Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 If, and it's a big if, we're after Mark O'Hara then for me it would raise questions about Sloth. For me, it sounds like lazy pick-another-SPL-side journalism for a player rumoured to be returning north... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
