He's still training with the squad, but thinks it's unlikely he'll be offered a deal. We have 4 strikers, 2 of which are starting to form a good partnership. Is this the Chairman pulling his usual stunts? If we wanted a striker, why did we bring him on trial? I think we are more in need of a midfielder to supply the strikers. The 4 or 5 strikers we have should be good enough ,given decent service & some confidence. I only want s striker who is 6ft plus ,good in the air & months ground. Won't hold my breath. dunkeldneil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find that a bit strange as we have a Head of Football who would be involved with targets for positions the manager wants to fill. dunkeldneil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to both. Sun and Daily Record carrying story he is signing tomorrow on loan for rest of season In squad for Aberdeen match but cannot feature in league cup final as cup tied already. So does that mean there is another incoming who could still play in cup final as was hinted by Callum before semi final??

Dont remember him setting the heather on fire for Hibs but Callum likes his wide men . Will he replace Spoony & will MoH get back in the team ?. I thought Steve was to have told Gilmour they wanted a striker. Hearsay though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read we are discussing them with Wotherspoon and Tanser. That still leaves 8 players. On Saturdays performance I hope we don't lose any on pre contracts.

Linky Posted January 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) I assume Middleton is back up for Wotherspoon? I think Davidson may have run out of patience with Hendry & MOH, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they moved on. Not sure what is happening with Gilmour now. His signing suggested that Bryson was moving on, was there a snag in that deal which has held this up? I would suggest both are the sorts of players we need: young, with great promise, but have lost their way.

Booth is our cover at left wingback. Unless CD hopes to convert him to wingback as he tried with MOH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only lasted from August to October at Hibs & was returned to Rangers & on to Bradford where he didn't do much. A bit of a worry but I did see him in a Europa game & he looked good. Fingers crossed.

Bryson can not move on this season to play for anyone anyway, he has already played for two teams, so doubt he will be the one to move!

Cagey Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 I wonder what happened to the signing that was to be in the semi final squad. It couldn't have been Middleton as he was cup tied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think tehy are saying in excess of £10m some talk of £12m. He was not even getting a regular game so converting £300k into at least £7m after Man City get their cut is cracking business.
