SomethingAboutObua Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Priority number one has to be a CB, on loan at least. We only have 2 RBs and 2 CDMs, 1 if we dump Damour and I still think Brandon's not good enough, it's not smart to rely on other positions that we have the minimum number of players of to cover for 3 out of 4 of our most injury prone players. We don't need a new striker, we're only playing one up front and we have 3 CFs plus Walker already. Still don't see the need for ANOTHER LB when we've got 2 plus Halliday, who all play the same utility left side role. Would rather we actually gave Garuccio the opportunity. Hope we move on Damour and assume White has to be going if we are going for Kingsley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Decided to have a wee look on transfermarket to see if there were any interesting strikers we might be looking at. Absolutely nothing jumping out. Sow is obviously available and considering anyone we're likely to be looking at will likely be playing 2nd fiddle to Boyce & Naismith . Yes, his injury record is cause for deep concern, but we're not signing an improvement to Boyce, we're signing cover/ an alternative option. Certainly worth considering on that basis, but can't say I'm hugely awed by the prospect tbh. Bradford Jamieson definitely sounds like someone who could be on our radar. Wikipedia has him playing in Denmark last year. So it could be that he's trying to build a career in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Buck Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I think we desperately need one more striker. Don’t think we can rely on just Wighton if Boyce picks up injuries or suspensions, or goes on international duty. If we’re after Kingsley I’d imagine White will leave then. Garuccio, White and Halliday feels like we’re covered at left back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clerry Jambo Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Barry Anderson @BarryAnderson_ Kingsley is still a possibility. They'd like a deal done before the transfer deadline but it's not essential since he's a free agent. Would likely need someone to leave to free up space/wages. Another striker not ruled out but, again, could be a free agent signed after deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfer deadline day - window closes at midnight Celtic to sign left-back Rangers eye midfielder Hibs to sign Magennis Hearts interest in Leigh The Daily Record are reporting that he's about to sign for Aberdeen (unsurprisingly), so my best guess is that they reported our interest but then deleted the story given that it's not happening, but forgot to delete the bullet point.

It’s just the question mark players that I’m a bit unsure of relying too heavily on: Wighton Walker If these two have turned a corner and produce the goods regularly, then we will be absolutely fine. If they haven’t, then we are an injury to each of Boyce and Naismith away from being insipid and lacklustre in attack. Early sign are promising though, so hopefully they keep it up.
