Can members please keep their Souttar comments to the other two and leave this thread for other transfer discussion. Thanks Interesting. I get people want to come here for the latest transfer info. But the latest info is that Souttar is being transferred to Rangers. I’d say the other threads should be merged into this one if anything. But fair enough.

Think that was the agreement when he went on loan? 2 years left to run but Hearts can and will release him with 1 year to go this summer. Apparently even with Le Mans' (tiny) contribution to his wages we're still paying him over 100k across this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone commented that the original deal that took him to Le Mans meant he was off our book this coming summer and that was reported at the time. Whether we paid him off at that point I don’t know.

Not that I know who they are/have any suggestions at this point. I couldn't think of any players here that fit the early 20's and promising part of our transfer policy (of course not saying there's none). I thought we shouldve been in for the ex Inverness winger and Hibs have just sent him on loan to Killie. Just wondering if thats something we should be concerned about as a football nation, that there seems such a gap between players like your Nathan Pattersons and Kerr Smiths that EPL teams can comfortably gamble on and send them to decent reserve or lower league level, and there not really being the same equivalent here. Euan Henderson's time at Alloa is someone I wouldve said we should take a punt on, but having actually seen him play at this level for us, I can't see how we (or Hibs and Aberdeen with their players) as a team pushing for European can afford to give him the game time to actually get up to being a Premiership player. I've rambled a bit, my point is I agree with you but we're so tight with trying to get into Europe I can't think of any affordable, semi-established young Scots in the SPFL right now that we, Hibs or Aberdeen could afford the time to get up to Prem level with us.

Jamie McCart Jamie Hamilton Jamie McGrath (ok, he’s Irish) … that’s just the Jamies! I think there are quite a few. But I take your point to a degree. I prefer to see us sign 23-25 year olds (like we did with Halkett) as it’s often hard to give 17-21 year olds enough minutes to allow them to flourish, as the very best at that age go south quickly.

AndyNic Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 We were certainly trying to convince Jarrad Branthwaite to join us on loan in the summer with a view to a permanent move but Ancelotti put a stop to it as he wanted him in the squad. I think it was Ancelotti that signed him for Everton iirc? Wonder if there's anything in it and he'd look to join us and thrive like Beni. He'd play every week here for sure.

Fraggle Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Good that we've got rid of Roberts and Walker off the wage bills, along wit a couple of the younger lads away on loan. Hopefully a few more players still to come in, with maybe 1 or 2 more still to get punted. Edited January 15 by Fraggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnando has 4 offers from down south, I’d expect him to be gone once we have a striker ready to be announced.

Not entirely comfortable with the size of our squad now, especially due to covid concerns. Quite well stocked at the back even if Souttar leaves, but short on goalscoring options from middle to front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have a good squad and I’m pleased to see us clearing out some fringe guys like Roberts and Walker, but much may depend on who else goes. Would like to see Souttar, Gnando, and Halliday head out this month. If that happens I think we need to add a couple. Would be quite happy to see Moore and Cochrane on pre-contracts to replace Souttar and Halliday. And maybe a couple of similar loan-to-buy type deals for a striker and maybe another CH.
