Bobby Wales and Danny Armstrong, both out of contract in the summer. Double Killie pre-contract swoop?

I would take wales, looks a good prospect, wouldn’t take Armstrong though, huffy wee bastard, forms not consistent enough, he’s done nothing of note this entire year at Kilmarnock, not even scored this season. A luxury player with a bad attitude

Hahaha I can’t even say il take Bobby without the fear, am snookered. I would take a punt on Bobby Wales, apparently a right decent lad with striking talent.

good Ayrshireman as well, so least he will try.

Shouldn't stop us firing him an offer. If you don't ask you don't get. Our striking options are pretty minging so he'd be pretty high up the pecking order you'd imagine.

Killie will be due some sort of compensation amount for him?

Age, yes, development fee, wouldn’t be as big as Barrons due to games played etc, 200/300k I’d presume at best.

[Dons79]

While we are at it ask for a swap Clarkson for Watson, if that’s not enough fling in Ambrose as a sweetener.

Is he significantly better than Bavidge? Genuine question as i don't know much about him. Goalscoring records in the lower leagues seem pretty similar. Bavidge pretty much a year younger but seems to have a lot more Scotland U17/U19 appearances.

He’s a different type of striker to bavidge, more physical, his finishing is supposed to be of a right good standard for his age, his goal the other week proves that. Definitely worth a punt

....and he's nae a weegie.  Bavidge is far superior.

If we can, we should have both. Would be a decent pairing in a few years. Wales winning flick on for bavidge to run onto and fuck it in the onion bag.

Like it, like it a lot. They can throw in £100k as well

We should sign a few of McInnes old players then flog them to Killie in swap deals for their best youngsters.

He’d probably go for that.

[GeorgeStreetReds]

Priority:

1. No. 1 Striker (let’s go big)

2. Central midfielder to replace Shinnie

3. Cover at right back

[Tord31]

Squad for June as things stand

GK : Mitov, 

RB : Jensen, Devlin

CB : Tobers, Knoester, Molloy, Rubezic

LB : McGarry, Jensen

CM : Shinnie, Nilsen, Polvara, Palaversa

Wide / Attack : Clarkson, Keskinen, Besuijen, Morris, Duncan, Boyd

Forwards : Sokler, Ambrose, Gueye, Bavidge

Looking at that squad:

1) Huge lack of quality out wide so need to sign one or two quality wingers. Lets see how Okkels gets on but £1M looking steep based on first few appearances.

2) Strikers not cutting. Need a couple new strikers in with at least one being as close to a sure thing as we can afford. Would be great if Dabbagh could be one

3) A quality number 10 required. Clarkson has just not cut it since signing permanently. He's not mobile enough for Thelin's team. We should actually give him some more time as the deepest midfielder before the end of the season.

4) Defence - need to sign a first pick left back. Monitor the centre backs for rest of the season. It would be nice if we could get away with these four.

5) Keeper. Sign a better backup next season. Someone who can aspire to taking Mitov's spot.

6) Central Midfield. Possibly a very unpopular opinion but id not race to sign anyone in there quite yet. Not to be confused with the 8/10 player that we must sign

You forgot Milne, I'd sell Rubezic and make Milne the 4th CB.

Also have to consider some of the other youth players as I think they will take on more back up roles next season - Elmslie, Marshall, Lobban, McKenzie, Stewart, Enem.

Can also see Bavidge used as a winger rather than the number 9.

Of the players still under contract for next season I think it's more then likely we'll see at least Ruby, McGarry, Clarkson, and Duncan moved on.

So aye, agree with most of what you've got there.  Two wingers, a number 10, at least one striker, a left back, and a keeper.

I'd give Milne Ruby's spot and see how he gets on.  Hopefully Elmslie can make a good claim for one of those attacking roles over the next few games.  If Bavidge can keep scoring and learning at Inverness then maybe he's got a bigger contribution to make as well.

[aberdeen1970]

If we sign a goalie, a couple of full backs, 2 centre backs, 3 central midfielders, a couple of wingers and a striker we'll be fine.

oops totally forgot about Milne. Dependent on how Tobers, Molloy and Knoester perform for next 3 months we could consider cashing (lol) in on Rubezic and having Milne as 4th centre back.
