Fair comment, not enthralled by Stewart either.

Again, I can confirm I'm not bongo either. I wouldn't like to be that guy due to the abuse he takes for passing on the info he does

He gives as much as he gets. 

Not that I'm bothered but I don't believe a word that he says. 

I tend to find all the itk stuff on here amusing. There is a couple of posters who are worth paying attention to but your pal Bongo is not one of them imo. 

That is not abuse it is just my opinion. 🤔

Should we be concerned that Devlin isn't yet announced? ...just wondering if something came up in his medical 🤷‍♂️

I thought they said that they were doing his medical over the weekend to give him a bit time to get over the jet-lag.

I am guessing that yesterday was the FoH day and they didn't want other news put out on the day we became fan owned.

I think today he will be announced. Usually in the afternoon. Not worried, he's in the bag!

Do we really need another forward? Does it suggest Gnando could be moving? Working with Boyce, Gnando and the likes of Woodburn, GMS, Ginnelly feels okay to me through to January.

 

Can see today being Devlin day + a loan for a 3rd choice nobody goalkeeper.

I'd say we definitely need another forward if we aren't planning on playing Henderson. You have listed 5 players for 3 positions in or team. I think its good to have two for each position, so yeah if hendo leaves I think we need another.

Yesterday was also a public holiday so guessing any paperwork that needs to be completed with SFA etc would have to wait until today.

He was at Tannadice on Saturday, chatting away with RN and the bench, then watched the game from the "red area" - nothing seemed untoward...

Aye that as well. If he passed his medical then I would like to think the "scarf above the heed" pic will be released today.

Is the cryptic “6” the number of new faces this summer? So not counting Stewart and Ginnelly, we have Cochrane, Baningime, Woodburn, Moore, Devlin and one more? So then that would be the numberwang 6?

Not in the know, maybe we're hanging on, to show all the signings off together. I still think we'll get a striker, RWB and possibly a centre half. Talks have apparently been ongoing with regards to a striker. The keeper can wait, possibly when the window closes, we will pick up a free. I think we'll move on one of McEneff or Walker, and Popescu will leave.

yes, no and not really - youve named our whole attack there - pretty thin. If you look at our stats our goals and assists come from very few players

Pessimistic is thinking we will only get one more, your bonus is already banked. 

Surprised this little teaser went uncommented on. Any further hints?

Hope he is worth the wait. Would be great to get all the new guys bedded in before the Derby.

@Jamboj1 is the one to listen to.

I certainly give his posts more credence than most. Usually focuses on providing info rather than tooting his own horn. Or banging his own drum 🥁

Someone replied to the question of how many loans we are allowed, but forgot to quote.

I wonder if we're back on the blower to Everton for an attacker. Ellis Simms interests me. Done well at Blackpool before his season was cut short with an injury, and he has previously been banging them in in EPL2 for the U23s.

Correct. A 2nd choice keeper is required not a 3rd choice. Hopefully, we are only calling it a search for a 3rd choice keeper to make Stewart feel good and in case we fail to recruit anyone.

That's about loans between SPFL clubs though. Doesn't restrict loans from outside Scotland.

 

Yup, loans from outside of Scotland are treated as transfers and not the same way so no limit.

If anything happened to Gordon I would rather recall and play Harry Stone than put Stewart in goals. He's shite.

Indeed , one of the main reasons for the fiasco at Brora and the defeat v QoS the following Saturday.

Anyway, a striker and a central defender would be great.

Pretty sure you can't recall a loaned player outside a transfer window.

Heard from someone at work today the name Jamal Blackman is doing the rounds looks like he was freed by Chelsea in the summer 27 year old. If he was to come in id imagine he would be a 2 and Stewart would become the 3rd choice.

...I'm assuming 'external' loans must be completed by close of play today then?... as they treat them as international 'signings/transfers'?

We definitely need a 2nd choice goalkeeper. Can you imagine if Gordon picked up covid while away with Scotland and we went into the derby with Ross Stewart in goal😭

Simms is a good player. Think still recovering from surgery though.

Follow a Chelsea youth account on twitter and seemed like he was rated. Only thing being is if would be looking to be first choice. Scully might be the more realistic one.

Should never have gave Stewart a contract. He’s no better than Doyle, Pereira or Bobby

 

Everyone is better than Periera.

Budge said one maybe two this morning. Surely can't include Devlin. 

 

Striker needed. Obafemi or similar will do nicely. Blackburn definitely interested which would count us in as a possible, not out of the question. Back up keeper should be easy to do, centre half is the bonus

 

She said definitely one, maybe two so my guess is the definite is Devlin as she's wise enough not to say something is definite until it is practically done as all sorts can go wrong. The maybe two I'll guess is a forward, and we've probably got one or two on a list we'd like, otherwise we won't just get someone else for the sake of it. Seems like a GK is also high on the list but I'll guess Budge hasn't referenced that because she's thinking deadline day and we'll go for someone that's free or lower league loan which can happen after. All pure guesswork obviously, I'm not important enough to be in ITK!

I'm fairly certain he would be. He was certainly highly rated at one point at Chelsea.

I see he was dropped by his new Eredivise team at weekend after conceding 3 the previous Saturday.

ANN BUDGE INTERVIEW: following the handover of her shares in the club to the FoH. 

 

Speaks about the Working Together document which means nobody can change   Major things like the colours, the stadium, the name of the club without the members voting on it. The power of the football fan, committing to minimum of two more years and praise for all the staff at the club. 

 

I’ll hold my hands up and say that when the club went into administration I was too young to appreciate how severe the situation was, but yesterday speaking to guys like Stuart Wallace, it really hit home how differently this could’ve panned out… 

 

Will have a Stuart Wallace interview up tomorrow, also Joe Savage, Eva Olid, Gary Halliday and Andrew McKinlay to follow later in the week. 
 

As for deadline day I’d expect just the one new arrival, they seem certain about getting an attacker in the door. 
 

Backup GK is wanted too, but a bit quieter on that front. Youngsters can still depart on loan after today’s window, that’s the plan for them. 
 

Reads appreciated

Bloke's a goalie imposter. Needs to pack it in.
