Sheff Wed must have a high opinion of themselves- they are league 1 with no guarantee of promotion to championship. 

Surely wires crossed and they were watching McCrorie?

[Dave Bus]

Behich I always think looks a cracking player when I see him in the highlights for Dundee United. Could do worse than get him in as left back next season with coulson away back to Middlesbrough. 

[Tord31]

No particularly exciting free transfer prospects in the spfl.

Devlin and Fitzwater at Livvie would be the only two who probably move to a bigger club.

What the hell has happened to Stephen O'Donnell? Not so long ago he'd be attracting loads of attention on a free transfer but literally Motherwell won't even be interested.

Has anyone in the SPFL actually made a pre contract signing yet?

Barring the bigoted two, where Celtic will finish 1st and the rangers 2nd; all of the other clubs (maybe except Motherwell) do not know where they will finish. European places, top 6 or potential relegation would have a huge financial factor and also on the players who would want to join the clubs. 
I think it will be a few weeks yet before clubs and players get slightly more comfortable with where they will be next season.

The boy O'Hara is doing well again this season.

Not sure if he's just having a purple patch, but he's always been someone I've noticed on the pitch for his contributions.

Would certainly be able to do a job here from the start or off of the bench.

Aye he's had a good season.

Rumours we've agreed Livingston RB Nicky Devlin.

He should be good in the championship in a couple of year 👍

Rumours also that hearts are spoilt for choice with English managers used to working with yo yo clubs down there.

Must be pretty confident he will join if we are still pursuing him

[Tord31]

22 year old 6'3 right sided centre back that often plays in central midfield. He's had five seasons playing in first teams in Holland of which the last two have been in the top flight.

He's been a starter pretty much the whole season and turns 23 in June.

Hopefully another gem by the recruitment team?

Like the sound of him. We have seen with Pollock the benefit in our league of a big lad at the back, which I really felt we were lacking earlier in the season

Transfermarkt have the pile measuring 6ft so it could well be moisture dependent

Stewart was nowhere near as big as they come. When he signed there were concerns he was short for a CB. He was actually decent in the air for not being particularly big, but hopeless at everything else. He was not an imposing figure at all

Why is Gunn going? He's not a scout, complete waste of a plane fare.

He's probably doubling up as a trolley dolly on the way there and back.

Maybe the player and/or his agent have asked for a personal meeting with the club representative who deals with the contractual issues and there’s a chance a deal can be done quickly, if Robson likes what he sees.

Or maybe AFC want more than one of our representatives to meet the player in person to suss out if he seems to be the right sort of character. 
 

Fuck knows though. I’ve had no experience at all of the transfer process, and wouldn’t know what’s involved.  Nor have you , so you haven’t got a fuckin clue if it’s a complete waste of a plane fare either.
