Kyle Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 This does have the summer of 2014 feel about it at the moment. Tommy's awfully quiet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickDT Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 With the limited summer break, our most creative player moving to a league rival and the likes of MacLean not getting any younger I really think it's vital we add some quality the squad this summer. A poor window will see us fall out the top six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Getting tetchy. Motherwell and Dundee have both strengthened quite a lot already, Allan is one of the best playmaker in the country, while Motherwell have made signings they've needed for a while. Coulibaly is back in the country desperate to rejoin Kilmarnock too. Ross County strengthened their backing and still have potential Boyce money to spend. Hibs about to have ~£1m to spend, Hearts have similar due to fees received, and turning down offers of £600k for Walker, and Aberdeen about to recoup £2m to go out and spend. Partick receiving offers of around £800k which will be reinvested in their squad due to being debt free. Could easily chance with a new signing, but it feels like we're standing still in the (wrong) belief that this current squad is good enough to make the top half. We need depth and quality, especially going forward. SlickDT and Havana Saint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 No panic. Tommy will manage to get his jewel. Even if he doesn't we have enough to be safe. Every year top 6 is a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBored Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Not too concerned yet. Allan is an interesting one, very good at Hibs, but was that not in the first division? Didn't get a real chance at Celtic and must have been pretty poor on loan last season. Motherwell and Dundee both need to improve the quality of their squad just to get close to our level. Reckon they both have someway to go still. Aberdeen will have a fair bit of re-building to do and Hearts have Cathro. Our biggest concern might be the uncertainty with Wright. A few players might hold off on signing for us until they know where he is going, if indeed he goes anywhere at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Saint Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 A few days until we panic completely. Players all going in one direction at the moment. Sign a striker and midfielder by Monday and all good. Other clubs are strengthening well however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ScottMann Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 One of Dundee's signings couldn't get a game for one of the worst teams ever seen in the English 2nd Division and the other comes from a division below the one we signed Coulson from. I really hope Callum manages to put together a decent enough squad to see us push for promotion next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Mikey Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Greetin pus Ciftci is hinting about being booted out of Celtic. Cant afford his wages but an addition like that would be welcomed. Dont think any more developments will happen until the Europa League qualifiers draw is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Mental Davie Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) I can see Coulson finding a club down south but I have a hunch that Saints might do a u-turn on Keith Watson. Given his well-known injury problems and relatively high wage expectations, compared amount of football he has actually played, there won't be too many clubs willing to take him on. If he proves his fitness to Tommy and Callum short term, then I think he might just be given a squad number. Tommy revealed in his interview this morning that Michael Coulson hasn't reported to the squad as planned, and confirmed that he'll leave the club soon. As for Keith, he said that he's on the transfer list, but has hinted he's willing to hang on to him after his comment about building his fitness up a bit. Keith's position at the club will no doubt depend on us getting in an "experienced" defender in to replace him.

templeofsaints Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Easton has minor injury and with Scobbie leaving Tommy seems to want a left-back, someone up top, a striker and a winger. Coulson's away and Watson officially on transfer list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBored Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Haven't heard anything re. Clive Smith. Is he away? I thought he had impressed enough to get a contract. His signature would have allowed Foster to shuffle across as cover for Easton if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 He's gone. Jason Kerr has been given his squad number too, so doubt he'll be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

templeofsaints Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Blair Spittal signed for Partick so that's another one off the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Lots of knickers drying on the line today then. Hope none of you stay in Raeburn park. 2 weeks until our first competitive match and 4 days until the European Registration deadline. I think it's understandable that people are a little bit concerned, particularly when we have 3 fit senior defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
