Hearts and Dundee Utd are currently both more enticing options. Well hearts certainly are he wouldn't even need to move house. No brainer for him to go there if there's a contract. Link to comment

They could end up signing some very good players in the summer with the guarantee of European football until at least Xmas next season. Them signing Simms on loan in January makes our failure to sign a striker even more galling. He looks a player and i'd have been delighted to get him here. Link to comment

A would, mark ogren has more money than cormack!, after selling his dads company croix oil.he’s also got software businesses and real estate businesses, he sold his oil company for “well into eight figures”, cormack had a partnership in the Silicon Valley in other words shared wealth when sold?.can easily justify that in football terms, especially in the Scottish league Link to comment

Darren Mackie Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Brett Long has been recommended by Neil Simpson and will likely come in as back up goalie next season. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Alan Forrest would be another decent spfl player the same as Matty Kennedy. No better or worse. It's not worked out great for Kennedy but that's not to say Forrest would not be ok. However unfortunately I am gonna say his ceiling is 'fairly decent spfl player' eg unless there is a lot of decent players elsewhere in the team its not working out Link to comment

Instead we were paying 50k for Leon Mike Link to comment

I find a lot of folk on here say they dont watch any other Scottish football but as soon as we are linked with another player everyone acts like they've been watching them day in day out. We have a tendency to turn our noses up at local players. I bet anyone would take Ross Stewart now, but that was a vile prospect when he was a County player. Nobody wanted John McGinn from St Mirren and most didn't even think he was good enough while he was at Hibs (Ok I was one of them ? Might have been wrong...) That said, I guess we have been stung my some very shit SPFL signings like Jet, Main, Storey, Kennedy, the list goes on.... Link to comment

Still what is the point in wasting money paying Woods off when he is 2nd choice. Get a non-injury prone first choice and it will resolve the problem. Link to comment

Ah gotcha min. Aye, nae many exciting rumours just now. Probably because we're not safe yet and have bigger fish to fry! Most of the rumours are made up shite anyway tbf. As long as we're not getting told on the 1st of September that we were "really close" to getting a South American International winger and a German u21 striker but couldn't get them over the line but we're delighted that Matty Kennedy has overcame his back injury and Connor McLennan has been flying in pre season training so they'll be like 2 new signings.

At least the rumours haven't came true, that would be worse. Like when we were rumoured to be linked with a 26 year old Atlanta 2 right back who had a handful of professional appearances and a striker from Wolves who'd bombed on loan in the English lower divisions.
