You're going to loooooove Kye Rowles.

Look forward to seeing him in Maroon

He's 34 - he'd last a fortnight in Scotland.

[Jeff]

He wasn't really but thought I'd get the juices flowing

[dazajmbo]

Robbie playing down the Shankland stuff. Take that with a pinch of salt. Wise thing to say

[Agentjambo]

Eli Dasa??

[Jambo 4 Ever]

We’re looking at Jayden Ferguson from Celtic for the B team

 

anyone know much about him?

[Pans Jambo]

This could be a long day...🙄

[Dick Dastardly]

Mohamed Shaker? Rw/rb/cf. One assist all season till the relegation round and then 6 goals and 4 assists in 7 games.

Out of contract, but I’d guess beyond our reach

Reading between the lines, Maybe to reassure boyce that he is still the main striker?

Boyce Knows that anyway. I think its to put other clubs off, and play equal hardball with his club. Think it will happen

I trust the management team know that. Should we adopt Hibs' scattergun signing policy just to appease impatient fans or should we take our time and try to get the right type of players in?

11th August for the play off. 1st Sep for the groups

Not saying we’re even interested in this particular guy, but I was hoping we’d get at least one or two ‘marquee’ signings. Of the more modest variety - as someone said further up, of the Stephane Mahe ilk. Players who will take us up a level and have European 

experience.

agreed.  

[Heartsofgold]

Would take Eli Dasa in a heart beat (pun 100% intended).

 

I've been impressed every time I have seen him play against Scotland, which is a few times over the past few years.

Thanks for the update, and I hope we end up as excited by him as you are👍

Certainly seems to be a great prospect.

Seems to be the same story each day regurgitated by a different source. I suspect we are posturing a bit on the Shankland one so they don't rip the hole out of it with the fee. They will know they have a player that wants to come back to Scotland. Suspect this one will get over the line soon.

Yeah, made it sound like there was some unknown big transfer. Still backs my view that its pure clickbait.

Agreed, hardly earth shattering news but then he has to get clicks on his Twitter feed to keep the subscribers and ad men happy.

[Pans Jambo]

Its official, the 4th official is unofficial.

 

What a loadapish!

I'm not so sure, but we will find out in due course.

He should have just made something up. Michael Smith to Aberdeen. There. That would do us nicely for about 25 pages on here!

Neilson has pretty much confirmed Cochrane and Grant will join too, so that's 5 signings with a week still to go in June. We aren't exactly asleep at the wheel.

6 weeks till our first meaningful game. Be concerned about this when it’s 6 days.

 

And then, when we’ve completed our business by 30th July, you’ll have the whole of August to greet about no one else coming in

To put things into perspective, this time last year we had only made the loans of Stewart and Ginnelly permanent. Before the start of the League cup games we had only added Cochrane, and then before the start of the league season we had signed Beni. 

 

This season it looks like we will have at least 5 players signed before the end of June.

The 4th Official is Bandersons alter ego.

I don't know why medical or admin staff would have to go early. Seems a bit strange to me too, but then I've never been on or organised a pre season training camp so my knowledge is very limited lol. 

Of course they'll need to be there ahead of the team lol - its not pigeon racing where you just open the hatch and let them go - there's a hell of a lot of planning that'll go into this sort of thing. The players will just show up with their wee Gucci toilet bags in their hands and everything else will be done for them. Staff will have been there for at least a few days taking care of absolutely everything from renting/collecting/setting up medical equipment and stuff like that, right down to inflating footballs and making sure Barrie McKay's flip flops are in his room lol. 

 

Listen to Peter Crouch's podcast for some insight into this side of football. He said he could literally turn up to a pre-season tour with the clothes on his back and everything would be sorted for him - from passports/visas, transport, accommodation, meals, clothes, underwear, socks, toiletries, medication/supplements, kit, boots, trainers, even things like sunglasses, phone chargers, stuff for making coffee, for mixing energy drinks blah blah blah... The kit man and staff would have absolutely everything he and any other player needed. We won't be quite as silver service as that but we won't be far off.

Why would Neilson state no bid has been made?shanklands club have stated the same.

Shanklands club said no ‘official’ bid has been made. That in no way rules out that negotiations on fee have not taken place.

 

As for RN. I would trust your info on transfers before I trust what RN chooses to tell the press to the point that I’m not really sure why the press continue to ask him. He is serially evasive to rag journalists and uses them to feign ambivalence all the time.

 

Its no coincidence that he shrugs his shoulders and says we don’t really want Shankland a couple of days after their spokespersons comments.

 

Pretty sure we want Shankland, pretty sure we know that he would move, pretty sure we have spoken to his club, pretty sure they would sell him. Everything that has been in the press this week is down to them trying to get a higher price and us trying to pay what we think he is worth.

It's this sort of thing we're aiming for I think, isn't it.

 

When there was talk that not every extra penny is going into transfer budget, I tried to list the reasons why not and how it still all adds up to us getting better players.  This is the sort of stuff.

 

We want to take that "next step", part of it is an every stone approach to how we look after our players.  Might all seem namby pamby to us kids of the 80s and previous, but it's two things - it's showing prospective players we're as polished and professional - even in Scotland - as they'll find elsewhere; also it's letting our squad just think about football.  We'll do the rest, you focus on you.

it’s the strikers we need to solve.  Everyone would feel a lot better if we had strengthen in that area. 
 

Shankland, simms and Ronan and everyone would be feeling great

Everton return to pre season on the 1st or 2nd of July and have two games in America on the 16th and the 20th.

 

I'd imagine Simms will be going. He might make it for the start of the season.

Very good points you've made, especially the highlighted one. I expect, and hope, it's a pretty accurate summation of how our players are treated now, not because I think they deserve it, but because the better players will demand it.

If Shankland is the best we can afford, or attract, then that's who we'll sign, but we would all like to think we can, and will, sign someone better. I'd like to think we can get lots of players better than all the players we've got and are rumoured to be after, but know that that would be an impossible dream.
