Why would it be low risk? As I've already said, he's hardly played at at all this season and right now is struggling to even get a place on the bench for an EFL1 team. Yes Liverpool might well heavily subsidise his wages in any loan but if he's not good enough to play for whatever reason it would still be a waste of time and money for us. We certainly need competition (ideally an upgrade) for Devlin but we took a gamble on an unknown quantity this season signing Dadia on loan. We don't actually know if he was any good as he never played but the last thing we need to do is sign another gamble player which Ramsay would be. If we were getting the same player back that we sold to Liverpool then of course it would be a no brainer but he has had a very serious injury (which it appears he already had when we sold him) that ruined his first season there and since returning to fitness this season, something clearly is wrong with him that he can barely get any action with 2 clubs in England's lower leagues. 1 Link to comment

Main reason it is low risk is because Devlin will be our number 1 right back next season and anyone who thinks otherwise, unfortunately, needs a reality check. Link to comment

With Devlin I'd be playing Ramsay further forward in a more attacking role where I think he has potential to excel. Link to comment

I dont think its one we'll go for but I see it as low risk Link to comment

RB / RWB is the most obvious transfer need for Hearts in the summer. Going to be interesting to see how both our clubs address. Strain at St Mirren the obvious OOC target for both clubs. But think he'll head south. Link to comment

NEM Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 19 hours ago, WesthillWanderersFC said: Nope. No point in signing an injury prone crock. Let’s just be happy we pulled Liverpool’s pants down & look elsewhere. 18 hours ago, WesthillWanderersFC said: Would Ryan Strain at St Mirren be an option at right back? Out of contract in the summer. There was talk of Hearts being interested. Just returning from a fairly long-term injury of 4-5 months Link to comment

AyrshireSheep Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Let's just hope Elfsborg have a number 9 capable of replacing Bojan if Thelin gets this fucking job. Link to comment

aberdeenfc1983 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 So a new number 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11 Lyall Cameron or Luke McCowan has to be signed Lewis mayo maybe couple of wingers on loan from England Calvin Ramsay? and a couple of duds from Sweden Link to comment

Broken_Glass Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 11 hours ago, Willo flood said: Feel like we have missed the boat on both of them I suspect that you would get Cameron for circa £450k. McGowan is 26 (I think) now and would be more of a squad player in my eyes. Cameron though looks like he has a lot of potential. The problem is we're probably not a very attractive option to him just now. Link to comment
Baaaaa heid Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 So do we have to wait for the technical director to arrive and speak with thelin and recruitment team before we start looking at players to bring in Link to comment
pittodriepie83 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Just realised I stuck this in the wrong thread; Burrows suggesting in his interview that deals for some players were ready to be done but the players in question wanted to know who the manager would be first before signing - probably wanting to know what league we’ll be in too. Wonder if we’ll see any pre-contract announcements in the coming weeks. Link to comment

We dont have a track record of signing players on Bosmans 2-3 months in advance Link to comment
Tord31 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Keeper is first priority so hopefully we are well down the line with that. Link to comment
RDS Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Should look at Jizz Hornkamp from Heracles in Holland. Good Aberdeen type player as recovered from serious ankle injury but more seriously as 6 foot, built like a brick outhouse type striker if Gueye doesn't fit JT plans. Also few fans would like Jizz on their shirts the way they get excited on here 1 Link to comment

A 12 month loan deal for Hakon Valdimarsson seems like an obvious move to make. Young keeper with huge potential who has already worked with him and been given his first chance by him. Not quite ready for EPL and is behind their top 2 keepers after his big money move in Jan. He will need more game time to develop and Brantford you would expect will be looking to send him out to get more experience. Would seem like a sensible move for all parties so send him to Scotland to work with his former manager for another 12 months so get more games under his belt to help develop and get used to physicality of football in UK. 1 2 Link to comment
minijc Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Nikola Cavlina is an impressive young keeper who I think we should be looking at however there's a chance he'd be too expensive. I do like that shout of Valdimarsson though, makes a lot of sense. 1 Link to comment

I like that keeper shout a lot!! I'd be tempted to change two keepers if our first pick ended up being high calibre loan Link to comment
