Ferguson out, McGrath and Hamilton in would round that off nicely.

Even if/when  Ferguson goes, we are still overloaded with midfielders. I think we'll risk leaving McGrath till January and sign him up on a pre-contract if he's still available

I would rather have signed Hamilton than Bates but now that we have signed Bates, if we signed Hamilton as well (someone said Accies were asking too much so it's unlikely to happen now anyway) I think he'd be behind Gallagher and Bates initially anyway and reserve football isn't really much use to him so probably as well just leaving him alone for now and get more first team experience at Hamilton. Again, he could then be snapped up on a pre-contract in January if he continues to progress and join up next summer (Considine should be gone by then, either into retirement or playing a season or 2 more with a lower league side) with a genuine chance of a starting place ahead of Gallagher or Bates. If someone pays what Hamilton are asking tomorrow then good luck to the loon.

That's probably why we've signed Longstaff. A direct replacement for Ferguson. No other midfielder we have could cover the Ferguson role i don't think. We are hedging our bets on McGrath not being sold. I think there will be a bid from a Championship team for him and St Mirren will sell him.

Me too.

a think McGrath n Hamilton will both be snapped up next few days. The later by Hibs which would make it worse.

Did we pay a fee for JET? Thought he was out of contract

Undisclosed fee according to the BBC ?

We will definitely be trying to get them on pre contracts but you run the risk of all kinds of clubs being intersted come January if someone dosnt pay the money before end of window.

That is a lot of transfer movement. I mind he was highly rated at Arsenal at one point. Commanded all of just over a million in fees.

Hibs going for Hamilton might very well happen considering they have been going after McCart but been unable to agree a fee. They are also trying to sign some Swedish LB. I wonder if we will up our interest in the LB from Breidablik? Ingvarsson. MacKenzie obviously first choice but Hayes shouldn't be near the LB spot even as backup.

They have had a 3rd bid for McCart rejected and Kerr has rejected another contract from them too. Charlton have put in a bid for Kerr.

Waived the fee on Anderson, I believe JET had an agreement with Livi that if he went to another Scottish (maybe British) team a fee would be required.

I knew Kerr had rejected a contract from Hibs a while ago. Must have been a properly shite contract considering he's a boyhood hibs fan ?. 

That's Bates officially announced. Glass also referring to more ins and outs in the papers today. Who do we think is heading out? Ferguson and Kennedy obvious candidates. Maybe a loan for Campbell? Who knows who else we may bring in.

Aye he's rejected a 2nd offer this weekend from them. Offer was for less than what is he on at Saints.

???. And those spoon burning knuckledraggers call us a small club? What would he be on at St Johnstone? £1-1.5k a week? Can't see it being on much more than that.

Don't know exact figures; but it definitely was lower which is why he told them to poke it.

Never knew they agreed a fee with St Johnstone?

Obviously thought as he's a fan he'd want to play for them regardless of the money. We should slap a bid in now and sign him and we can add him to the ever growing list of players who turn Hibs down for The Famous.

His family are big Hibees not too sure he is as bothered. He has rejected an extension with St Johnstone too.

A bit of longer-term planning would be good.

There’s a good chance Considine might be in his last season given he’s just had a cruciate injury.

What would Jamie Hamilton be? £200k with add ons?  

We could happily lose Kennedy, McGinn, maybe a loan or two as well? Dean Campbell needs to be playing for his own sake - get him a good loan move?

So next season you’re looking at Gallagher, Bates, Hamilton & McCrorie as your central defensive options.

I’m pretty sure Kerr is aiming for a move to a decent English club & a £6k per week contract.

How good is the Hamilton accies midfield.

Wouldn’t be against Aberdeen throwing Campbell in on a season long loan as well as cash for Hamilton

Aye we need to be looking long term. I think Mackenzie has a future at CB. He didn't look out of place against Qarabag when he had to go there after Consi's injury. 

Accies fans were suggesting yesterday their club would be looking at over £500k for Hamilton. I can't see that in the slightest but if that was the figure they were quoting then there's not a chance i'd be paying it. 

I think we will see Ferguson, Kennedy leave permanently this window. Campbell does need to be playing regularly. A team like St Mirren would be good for him imo. I suppose we might have an idea of what's going on when we see the team lineup shortly

Campbell needs to be playing Premiership football surely? And not on a fucking horrible surface like theirs.

Key player at a championship club would be better than bit part at Aberdeen, forgot about the terrible pitch so would agree he shouldn’t be going there

If we were going to send him to a Championship club maybe a team like Inverness would be a shout? I still think he would be a regular at a team like St Mirren, Ross County or maybe Motherwell?

I think if Hamilton had been £200k (even with future add ons) he would already be with us and possibly making his debut today. 

He's a big talent.....I reckon Accies would have been looking for about £500k with add ons as a basis for negotiation

Suggestion from Richard Gordon on radio this afternoon that there’s been no fresh bids for Ferguson.

Glass strongly suggested no more incomings… unless there’s outgoings.

Sounds like that’s us until January

Maybe no fresh bids yet. That could all change tomorrow. Suppose we will need to wait and see. We have an overload of central midfielders so i wouldn't be surprised to see 2 leave. Either perm or on loan.

Why would they offer him less money in an attempt to get him to sign? Sounds like Shite.
