So perhaps revealing his name at this time would attract unwanted attention from the powers that be? I think you're right. However, I think clubs do make contact with players "tapping them up" well before they're allowed to do so. I suppose there's various ways to work round the rules.

Kmcalpin Posted yesterday at 05:41 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:41 PM Wunderwell is quite right to withhold the identity of our possible signing. I understand his/her reasoning and would do exactly the same. Checking out some of the obvious possible sources, I've come up with 2 names Craig Sibbald and Joe Newell. Sibbald is relatively small at 5-7 and so I'll plump for Newell. The news that SK is is looking to strengthen this position is very encouraging. We need at least 2 new signings next month.

fizoxy Posted yesterday at 06:36 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:36 PM Newell is a regular for hibs, there's no chance of us signing him. Think sibbald is injured too. Also, I don't think we need to recreate 1980s WWE to improve our midfield defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted everyone to have a little fun on their guesses and cement the fact that a new defensive midfielder was potentially on their way. The nobodies comment was a bit on the defensive side, admittedly it won’t happen again and we can all ponder on who will we sign. I won’t be back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mio Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago Ryan Jack has now managed a few months playing in Turkey without injury. Surely he’ll now be stopping getting paid by his club soon as per usual in Turkey and we’ll see him back in the UK in the transfer window? Defensive midfielder ticked off when we sell Lennon for £8m 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensive midfielder ticked off when we sell Lennon for £8m 🤣 Whoever comes in when Lennon goes will be on a hiding to nothing. I'm still of a mindset of getting enough points on board to avoid relegation, as no one seems to be discussing how our season will pan out IF he goes in January. Our solitary goal on Friday might not officially be an assist, but without looking up or taking a touch he had the awareness and skill to first time a perfect clipped cross to the backpost. We will miss that ability massively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
