Bojan has earned his move and he's going to the top

[TerryMcDermott]

Summer sales have the potential to be savage gut punches. On the bright side though, if we get 

1• a head of recruitment 

2• a new manager….after the interim

3• replacement for Miovski

4• replacement for Barron

5• replacement for Duk

6• god knows how many other signings 

we’ll piss this league.

Never really rated either of them. Both replaceable.

The annual scouring of the waifs and strays that end up in the free agent market begins. 

Don't think we've ever signed anyone from that list since the Greg Halford 2 minute cameo?

[Baaaaa heid]

Wonder if we have any pre contracts tied up 

[Andy_123]

New DOF

New HOR

Assume we’ll have a new manager sorted by then (then again it is AFC so who knows)

Need all that sorted before we even think about starting to sort out this unbalanced squad and who we replace Miovski with when he goes

New head of recruitment was meant to start on the 1st. Not sure if that happened with the mess we are in. 

[Andy_123]

I didn’t realise we had replaced him. Who’s the unlucky fella this time?

[Tord31]

Ive not heard the name of the Head of Recruitment guy but new Analyst lad has a decent cv by looks of it

Contract terminated at the beginning of the year or thereabouts apparently.

[dj_bollocks]

It'll be ANOTHER transfer window upheaval, where we lose our primary targets, fanny about waiting for targets who get a better deal elsewhere and then sell players with no obvious replacements ready... As Sean Connery might have said... "It'sh the Aberdeen way..."

Will leave to others to divulge. It looks like a coup

Don't need analysts for the shite we've been producing!

Between players we still haven't replaced since last year, out of contracts who will leave, and players I expect will be sold, you're not far off. 

I reckon nine or ten. So much for not having a massive turnover of players every summer.

Also means we'll have our annual struggle to get a decent team together during the window for the euro qualifiers.

[Arthur FN Shelby]

Need at least SPL standard players, no more Gueye,Morris types of lower standard. 

Wish List, probably not much hope of getting them.

Lyle Cameron - Dundee

Alan Campbell - Luton

Forrest - Celtic

Cameron I think is realistic in summer.

Campbell...maybe but if the rumoured interest from ECL clubs (Birmingham I think saw mentioned) is real then we won't be able to compete with them wages wise.

Forrest would have been fine on a 6 month loan till summer as we needed a winger. But he turns 33  this coming summer and even if Celtic were willing to subsidise his wages to a hefty level for the full season, I think we'd be better off just signing a younger, cheaper winger who we'll have for 3-4 years

[Glass half full]

Did Turnbull stay at Celtic? He would be a far better signing than Forrest.

Went to Cardiff. Won't see him in Scotland again until he retires at Well'
