Nice work chief. At least moan at the gaffer.

 

Shut up Andy. 

 

If I want to express myself in this way at us moving to sign a player who can’t get a game for a mid table Championship side, I will. 

 

So put me on ignore if this upsets you snowflake.

True. It's an uninspiring potential signing - another one.

 

Folk will say that bigger names won't be tying themselves down atm/clubs will still be in negs with boys on their contract releases but still...

 

Not about to start going into freak out mode but like I said I'm underwhelmed 

 

 

[Hendricks]

I ask the question again......we have been told that we would like to retain 4 loan players from this season. Are they 4 of the 'mystical' 9 or are the 9 in addition to those 4? In my view we need 4 or 5 starters in addition to those 4 to get anywhere near the top teams of this season so if they are part of the 9 and we already have 2 (if not 3 including this ICT guy) then that only leaves 2 more signings. If thats the case

Low risk, low budget addition with room for good development....fine by me...

 

The folk bumping their gums on this thread really need help.....bigggg time!!!

 

 

The 3 signings so far are surely just squad players, low wage recruits. 2 to hopefully bolster out goal scoring, 1 to create/ run at the opposition.

Templeton/ Fraser would fall into the same category.

 

Really need to nail down some of the more 'marquee' type signings once the season is over though. Not only does the team need it, the fans most certainly need to be shown intent by the Club to really go for a European place/ Cup ran next season..

Bloody hope not..

You're right, need players that'll go straight into the starting 11 and make an impact from the off.

After two dire seasons, we really need to get our shit together

seriously if Naismith and Adao and Mitchell and Milinkovic all sing  - they are all effectively new players next season. Then, assuming Mclaughlin goes id expect a keeper and a couple of midfielders or maybe a midfielder and a centre half

Well there’s posters happy to tell the board they haven’t renewed or are unlikely to do so on the ‘season tickets on sale’ thread, some of whom are now posting on this thread, ridiculing this signing.

 

So to answer your question - possibly.

My Inverness pal was gutted he could be leaving in December.  Hardly exciting or worthy of ridicule unless people think they know better than the legendary Robbo.

Do you believe we will only sign 2 more players ???

 

Or do you just like to type pish for the sake of it ?

Both clubs entitled to development fees so assuming maybe waived at both ends?

[RS86]

Levein et al have obviously seen enough when he was training with us to think he has development potential. Again add depth to the squad in an area we are lacking. Billy King was never going to hold down a starting position for us but was more than useful on occasion when called upon, Mulraney could be equally as useful while maybe developing over a year or two. Does anyone really think he is being viewed as a regular starter initially?

For what it's worth, I kind of agree with you, but would choose better words to explain your feelings.

I think most fans would expect better than a signing Levein has said “can’t run” and is 35, another signing from Cambridge which is a “gamble” again in his words and a third potential signing who can’t get a game for Inverness.

 

3 signings out of your potential 8 mentioned that therefore don’t inspire any sort of confidence.

 

This 100%

 

[Bazzas right boot]

Welcome lad.

 

I reckon CL is trolling a certain segment of our fans to push them to breaking point by announcing the squad type signings first before the bigger ones.

 

I thought we'd be swapping Beith for Ramsey from Arsenal?

 

Big thumbs up from me if so.

 

 

serious note- a player who wasn't going to play away for a wide player who might or might not make it, but gives us an option in an area we are 

 short.

 

anyone know if he is right or left footed?

Its a completely reasonable question. Are the 4 loanees we apparently wish to retain included in the magic 9???  Or are the 9 in addition to them. Its a very important factor in how strong (or otherwise) we may be next season. Add 4 or 5 starters to the 4 loans and we will have the basis of a much better side. Add 1 or 2 to the couple already signed and those 4 and meh, we will see very little improvement. 

 

If you think that point is "pish" I'd suggest you aren't thinking very hard, which is your prerogative of course!

What a bunch of whingers our fans have become. Literally no signing is good enough...

 

If this is effectively a swap then what is there to lose. Offload a guy who’s not going to make the breakthrough at Hearts and bring in a young guy with SPFL experience and appearances for Republic of Ireland at u21 level; sounds like an upgrade to me; unlikely to be a first team starter, but could be a more experienced option from the bench.

 

If we’re bringing in 8-10 players they are unlikely to all be ‘marquee’ or high profile signings! ?

 

Yet another option from the bench- hurray!!!

Colin Cameron was signed for £400,000! He was a star for Raith Rovers - a key part of the side who'd beaten Celtic to win the League Cup and taken the lead away to Bayern Munich. And they weren't a lower league side, they were 6th in the Premier. Neil McCann was a of a similar stature (not just height-wise) - albeit at more lowly Dundee.

Edit: Not sure if Dundee were in the same league when we signed McCann?? 

If you hadn’t heard of either McCann or Cameron you can’t have had much interest in Scottish football at that time. They were both highly rated and McCann especially was a bit of a coup when he signed for us first time round.

There's a lot of dicks to suffer in life. Sometimes you just have to accept it. 

[Boyces beard]

A young lad who is trying to better himself in the game, most likely wont be here as a starter and is an under 21 international. He will be looking in at kickback to see what the fans think and it wont fill him with confidence for the future. We have some right ***** in our support.

Both were sticking out like sore thumbs at their respective clubs prior to signing for Hearts.

 

If you catch players on an upward curve from lower leagues and our better judgement sees a capacity to improve further, then there's a good chance they'll be a success.  We did have good judgement of young , up and coming players back then. Even ones we promoted from youth.

 

 

[luckydug]

The signings of McLean and Mulraney look uninspiring but the lad signing from Cambridge looks an interesting one.

I'm not over the moon so far but neither am I sick as a parrot yet.

Let's see how the team shapes up if we can get our current loan players to sign permanently or in the case of Mitchell sign up for another season.

There will surely be at least a couple of quality signings that are going to improve the squad and not just stop gap signings to boost numbers.

Here's hoping.

[alwaysthereinspirit]

I'm not going to write of NEXT seasons signings at least until we've had an absolute nightmare under the new League Cop format.

I at least owe that to Hearts and myself.
