Forrest Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 3 hours ago, tcjambo said: We still need continuity like Kingsley or Gordon. We don't want to end up soulless like the Hobos. I think you're right, but I think it's probably more likely to be defensive players, as the exciting attacking players tend to be the ones to attract most interest. Although I do understand that our record sale is Gordon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see St Mirren have entered talks to try and keep Olusanya. He's a bit older at 27, but I think would be a shrewd buy for Hearts IMO. For the defender, I'd really like Liam Lindsay. Him & Kent would be a brick wall Although, neither of those suggestions will feature I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will definitely be looking at players in the lower league's in England and English 23s . But that won't be to the summer. South, north and central America will be on agenda. A lot of players will be going out of contract or will be available January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull's-eye Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Wouldn't surprise me if we see nothing. Critchley got the job because hes a good coach. He got the job because he has a track record of improving players. Plenty games between now and the end of January to see what he can do with this group.

OTT Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 See one thing I think is probably worth cautioning on. Identity. If we become like a kid in a sweetie shop picking up all these random foreign signings, my worry would be that we could very quickly end up with a team of foreign players that don't give a **** and I worry as well that the incumbent players may see the writing on the wall - this start to the season has been wholly unacceptable, and I think has put a big question mark over a lot of the senior players in the team. I'm sure the club are smart enough to realise this anyway, but I think its really important that a strong scottish core in the team is maintained as much as possible. We can all remember the complaints not long after 2014 where we saw a litany of foreign signings being made and I think its really important that the club do go all in on Blooms analytics, but that the identitiy of the team is preserved (Where we aim to recruit the best Scottish talent we can get our hands on, supplemented with academy grads and analytic driven signings).

Section Q Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 I think we should consider offering Ryan Kent a 6 month deal until the end of the season. Critchley knows him well and allowing for the fact we may still be in Europe post January, he might see it as a chance to be in the shop window. I know some on here are dead against this and have issues with him, but he scored a couple of decent goals against us, and he's proven at this level.

NannyMaroon Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 (edited) I'd be expecting 7 to 10 in and about the same out January. Mostly loans and frees but 2 or 3 for small fees.

tiger Rudi Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Doubt we will see much change in January, unfortunately we are stuck with this squad for a while. Grant, McKay, Boyce and Halkett (if he's not going to be given games) all need to be moved on. Musa and Salazar too, wtf have they been signed for? There's 6 names to start with. Oda, now in his 3rd season and we are still not getting any consistency in performance from him. Forrest and Devlin both squad players. There's another 3 that are not starting 11 level, week in, week out. We also need a younger goalie coming thru. Just why we signed Fulton is beyond me.

AC Mallin_51 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 January is as important about who’s going out as who’s coming in. Halkett, Boyce, McKay and Grant all need to be shown the door and should’ve been out the door before atkkinson and Tagawa who I think may have actually contributed something this season.
