 I'm starting to think Levein is somehow getting a % of agent fees.

This plus the fact that he's now an established International centre back makes this a non-starter for me. 

 

exactly. I try not to lose the rag on here, but man it is really difficult at times when folk suggest moving our best player out of position :laugh:

Always gives 100% too.

 

I like Bozanic and think he could be really good with a decent run in a settled team.

 

 

 

Agreed mate

When Djoum left we needed a new first 11 midfielder.

 

With Olly Lee on his way out and Haring injured, we need another first 11 midfielder.

 

Edwards role can be covered by the youngsters but I'd have liked to keep him as an energetic sub can do wonders.

 

Unless we sign  two quality central midfielders I don't think we'll have strengthened this window overall.

Only reduces the squad size if we don’t bring it in replacements. Very doubtful that  we're done.  

Djoum, Lee, Edwards. One in for those 3 you are beginning to manage it

Personal preference, but I would rather we signed a younger player than adding to someone like Charlie Adam's pension pot. I can't think of too many younger midfield prospects within our price range playing within the SPFL, but a Lewis Ferguson type, who Aberdeen picked up from Hamilton for a small six figure fee would be ideal.

 

Aberdeen paid around £250k for LW iirc. The fee was settled by a tribunal.

With Edwards away as well we might get 2 in.

Reckon two midfielders coming in now plus Cumdog.

 

 

Yip. 

 

Gearing up for this, tbh wouldn't be Suprised if Maclean went back to saints either.

On the winger front it depends how much Levein rates McDonald and Zanatta. Hopefully they have both really impressed in training. I think a deep lying player in the Haring mould would be one as well as someone who is more box to box.

 

Think Callumn Morrison is front of the line for wingers. Also if we play a 4-4-2 Walker will be played as a right winger or right mid.

I think we will sign two, one defensive like Haring.

McLean and Wighton are still here.

MacLean is relatively cheap I am sure. He has probably played as many games as he was expected to over his 2 years.

Wouldn't be averse to letting him move on this year, pretty sure this season is the end of the road with us, he formed a very good understanding with Naismith last summer, not for writing him off.

Wighton looks like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders and doesn't know how to get it off. If ever the saying, "needs a goal for confidence" applied its with him

Glad he's away and that Lee is joining him soon.  I think Bozanic is better than both and happy he'll stay as a rotation / squad player if he's happy with that role.  Has the work rate of Edwards and as good a set piece as Lee, that does me.  Hopefully allows more game time for Cochrane and Irving and allows a half decent wage for the midfielder we're still looking to bring in.  There's no negative here for me.  All aboard, choo choo!!

If it wasn't for Austin's contacts, the scouting would be horrendous.

 

The scouting team need sacked tbh.

 

 

 

 

This is the most accurate thing I've read on here for months! 

 

He is a director of football in the waiting, and I sure as hell hope he sticks around long enough for that to happen with us.

Disappointed to lose Edwards. Could have been useful. 

He'll be on a good wage at Burton. Best of luck to him...!

Those two combined will be on a minimum of £3k a week......that £3k could get us a striker who can actually score goals and win games.

 

Neither of the above are match winners.

Weird time to let him go, i hope we get a couple CMs in soon.

I'm hopeful it's because we were holding on to him until we were nearly over the line with a new signing. Fingers crossed the inbounds follow imminently

How's my driving

Barry Anderson on Twitter saying we've been offered lots of midfielders.  No names or hints. So probably just guessing

What’s happened to all the ITK’ers? 

They seemed to get slaughtered when any snippets were posted, they’ve now been replaced with some posters guessing in the hope some info could be right 😂

Should we just play a centre half in the holding midfield role every week, aye?

 

No idea where the desperation for a centre half playing in midfield comes from. 

 

Can only come from folk that don't remember Big Zal playing there

Cletus to start at Pittodrie before being shipped out to Raith on loan.

Agreed.

 

There is an ‘s’ missing

Thought Edwards would have been decent cover for Haring until he returns. Irving looks like he can play a more defensive role though.

 

Still not convinced with Bozanic, Clare learning how to play there, Lee possibly away. Looking seriously weak in midfield so hopefully a couple of players coming in this week.

Surprised nobody's picked up on this yet.

 

Sounds like he knows or has been told that he would only be a bit-part player at Hearts. Also leaves  space for another player too.

 

Good luck to him, don't think he really got a chance to develop at Hearts.

Anyone know what the gate at the away end entrance is used for? There is a security guard there. If someone was pulling out from there after the gate was opened by security is it just the ongoing construction of the stand ie maybe a visiting project manager or would a visiting ‘possible signing’ park there before going in to the offices??

Isn't this about the time that Craig declares that he is satisfied that his dealings in this transfer window have been a great success, and that business has been concluded ?

The White Cockade

Weird one

didnt get a chance at all until end of season and when he played looked good fit and motivated 

with Djoum gone and possibly Lee and Haring out it seems a strange one

either we have a signing lined up or we are skint?

Surprised by this,  (for me he had a good work rate)  every team needs a player who can win the ball back and give it to the football players to play. maybe not a 1st choice for the coming season but a decent option from the bench i would have thought.

We must have a whole midfield to sign now! Has been good since being given chance but I'd hope we are looking at a higher level of player than him.

Cut The Crap

Looking like the young central midfielders at the club might finally get their chance this season!

We were a better team with his energy in midfield, imo. Strange decision as he’d be a handy squad player. 

 

All the best to him.

Never really understood what the score was with him. File under strange signing. Liked his work rate. Will always have that goal from his time here. We’ve kept worse for longer

I honestly thought Edwards looked decent when given a chance.

 

Not the most gifted player in the team but certainly one of the fittest and motivated.

 

Can't understand this with Djoum and Lee away and Haring struggling with injury.

I’d imagine we are well advanced with at least one if not two signings.
