I see the Finish and Swedish seasons are finished, and the Norwegian season finishes on Sunday.

Unlike others im not convinced we'll have Scandi transfers lined up but if we did not long to find out

A wee £400k punting him off to the english championship. We'd have to be confident on his replacement as McGarry seems shite

He's off to sevco, tord

Seems to be a thing that local Aberdeen 'loons' like to do...

Why the fuck would you play molloy left back 

Because he ain't big enough to play CB!

They'll need to stay southside to avoid the Glasgow one

And your solution is to play him left back. Jesus wept. 

[Tord31]

Molloy certainly fine as 3rd pick left back and at a push 2nd pick left back.

We need a new first pick left back in 2025 regardless of anything about Molloy

Cracking cycle lanes on the Southside these days. Might cycle to the semi final in April.

And looking to add more !

just realised that southside living wouldn't be ideal for the training ground. Big decision for jacky

Same as Jack Mackenzie then 👀

Crying out for a strong leader at the back

A Left Back

A Winger

A Striker

 

If we get a CB and nothing else in jan its a step in the right direction, heard we are looking at a Central Mid and pretty far down the line aswell, but looking from the outside I cant see why.

central attacking midfielder would be very welcome but a genuine central midfielder not required until others move out

Don't think a winger should be a priority tbh.  Centre half and striker definitely, replacement left back if we're being greedy.

No it’s not seen as we will be losing McGrath, Mackenzie, Duk and Angus, on top of already wanting to make the squad stronger now. That would leave us far too much work come the summer.

edit to add, probably be in Europe as well so will lose out on trained in Scotland (mcgraph) and youth club players (Mackenzie) on top of what we need as well.

Centre half was priority before these last few games so yes 100%.

Left back is probably a good idea if 1) we know Mackenzie is likely to leave and 2) McGarry's playing minutes is an exact indication of how much the management team rate him.

Striker I'm not so convinced by until 1 or 2 leave. We have enough to work with between Gueye, Nisbet, Sokler, Duk and Ambrose in the meantime.

Yep, we have plenty of players in the forward and midfield areas which when subbed isn’t a massive drop off in quality, our defence and sub keeper are rank, a massive drop off in quality from our starting defenders, which aren’t good enough as it is to last a full season.

wouldn’t be bothered at all in not getting an attacking player in the door, right good defenders across the board please.

Lyall Cameron available on a pre contract in 4 weeks.

Gotta expect The Rangers, Hearts, Aberdeen, Hibs plus English outfits already waiting. Possibly even Euro outfits given Johnston, Hickey, Doig, Ferguson moves.

I was guessing. That right? Yeah he's a freebie that will help appease their fans. A bit.

[Ten Caat]

The sevco support might not be too keen on him when they find out what school he attended....

He'll still be around £500k though yea? He's not properly on a free?

Sign a pre contract in January to sign for free out of contract in tne summer.

To join in January would be a fee yeah and yeah likely half a million.

I suspect he'll be a similar fee to Barron so lets see what that is. If its £750k or so then suddenly its not a no brainer for anyone to sign him

Is that right? I thought if out of contract isn't he a free agent?

He is but the club gets recompense due to his age. Over 24 I think the club wouldn’t get anything.

If that's the case yeah we're out. Unless Bloom changes things massively. But with Jamestown Analytics trying to show off can't see us moving for a player in our league we've known about for years. More likely we'll go for unknown players to us.

Got it. Yeah he's not the free gem I thought. We won't be in for him when we need to buy 3 CFs and 2 wingers in January alone.
