Heard on radio and p and b that were linked with Stefan Scougal of Alloa. as replacement for Spital. Think he used to be ok at Livi prior to Sheffield move but too old now and even less pace than Spital

Just a rumour of course, but I hope there's no substance to it. Lauded as a real coup when he chose St Johnstone instead of us but he flopped in Perth. At the time Saints fans said he was too small and lightweight for the league - Tierney Mkii?

Halliday, Scougall, Easton and Obileye. 

They're not the most inspiring rumours at the moment.

Easton and Scougall are definitely skillful players, if SK thinks they can cut it in spl , I've got faith in that ..it's good we are looking at Scottish players from lower leagues

I agree with that but all those players are 30 or older by the time the new season starts.

Agree, similarities with Tierney . Seen him when we played Alloa in the cup and think physicality of our defenders was too much and also struggled with pace of the game.

According to 10 years of Premier League data, the prime age for a midfielder is 25-26, then there is a drop-off after 30.

Davor, Slattery, and Paton are all at their peak with a few good years left, Spittal is at his peak, Miller is just getting started, and Halliday, Easton and Scougall have peaked. Do we need that many midfielders in their early 30s? No. At best, one or two would be worthwhile and experienced additions to the squad. 

I'm all for signing local players, but let's not become a convalescent home for the older ones.

Seriously? Would be incredible but I would imagine wages would be an issue

No really. I just made up a more inspiring rumour to cheer Steelboy up. I mean, surely the Scougall one's pish too - a  guy approaching 32 who's spent the last 4 years at Alloa. The only possible way that would make any sense would be if we get relegated.

Are these names coming from any reliable source, or just some randoms online?
