Have a feeling you will see us beating Celtic or Rangers to a signing over the next few seasons.

Not sure about that.  We’ll only beat them by signing smarter not competing for the same players.   Assuming they want the player as much as we do,  they will still be able to pay more.

Then a few seasons after that it will be Barcelona, Real Madrid, Liverpool and the rest of the cream of Europe

Stop.

Absolutely nothing against the guy but I genuinely cannot wait til he retires so the constant shouts for us to re-sign him stop. 

Even then they probably won't.

Plus his deal with MK Dons for the next three years is phenomenal considering they are a League 2 club.

Watched Hobro vs Lyngby earlier, was impressed with this guy very solid and good on ball.

Gino, Patererson giz a ****ing break!!!

What's wrong with that Gino would give us the option to go in behind,something Shankland doesn't offer ? 

 

 

Because he can’t hold the ball up and link the play like Shankland does. Shankland also scored a **** load more goals than him in the 2 seasons they played together.
 

He also had a good 6 months, nothing else. He’s not kicked a ball in 2 years.

 

This isn’t a nostalgia trip. 

[gregzy2k7]

I do wonder if we will look to try and shift a few more of the fringe players out in January 

 

Guys like Forrest, Vargas, Kartum and perhaps Spittal?

 

For me its clear that we need to bring in another RB and probably one more winger, hopefully get the other khazak boy in addition to Chesnokov

 

Apart from that i am pretty happy with the squad, just need to get a few bodies out I think.

If we're looking in estonia

 

Rommi siht - 19 years old 2025 - 26 games 8 goals 

Karel eerme - 21 years old 2025 - 25 games 12 goals, 2024 28 games 28 goals

We now have Braga who does exactly all that and more.

For a L2 club their 30k stadium is phenomenal as well. No corners to be filled in.

Heard he's one of their highest paid, which will probably put him on about £7-8k pw.

He will by JKB aye. Even if he's got nae interest in coaching.

He’s on more than what you are estimating, hence what a good deal it was.

You're asking for an explanation of a statement, yet you quoted a post that contained that explanation.

 

 

 

As for the rest of it, he's clearly not been our best striker this season, has he?

 

And I don't think there's any shortage of people on here that think having him as captain is to our detriment, as it's made him basically undroppable.

Best. Striker. At. The. Club.

[Mikey1874]

Derek McInnes wants a Scottish or British core in the squad. One of the factors with Jamestown.

 

Already looking at players for next summer too especially freedom of contract.

[johnking123]

Wonder if we will go for David Watson.

Wonder how many signings that represents and how big an issue this is for him?

 

If we sign, lets say 6 players and perhaps 2 of them are Scottish or British does that represent a "core of players".

Or does he want the primary focus to be on domestic players?

 

When you see what we're picking up from foreign leagues, it could be a limitation on the system if we're narrowimg our focus and not full maximising foreign markets.

I'd be surprised if we weren't at least interested. There are question marks over the future of several of our midfielders for various reasons and he's a good player with the obvious McInnes connection. As ever, though, I expect clubs with deeper pockets than ours to be sniffing around.

Should be all over him if we've got the opportunity. He'd maybe cost us a million quid but there'll be money to be made from him in a couple of years.

Would be a really good addition to our midfield.

pre-contract?  we don't need him this season

Could do as he's out of contract at the end of the season, but he's under 23 so would still need to pay for him. 

 

[Pingu]

Latest thoughts on exits:

 

Keepers - if everyone gets fit, we have too many. If Gordon displaces Clark in the match day squad, I can't see Zander wanting to stick around. I could also imagine Stone moving on either permanently or on loan. That would leave us Schwolow, Gordon, Fulton and McFarlane out on loan.

 

Defenders - we can't afford to lose any full backs. We might be able to get by with one less centre back but we seem to permanently have at least one injured, so I'd keep them all.

 

Midfielders - we're overstocked here. I think Kartum will leave and potentially one more but hard to say who. Perhaps Nieuwenhof or Spittal. I'd rather see Spittal move on, but my guess is Nieuwenhof is more likely.

 

Forwards (including wingers) - Vargas will probably move on permanently, and if he gets fit, I think we'll loan out Pollock. If Kabore starts to make an impact, I could see Wilson potentially going out on loan but I wouldn't bet on it. Forrest will be surplus eventually, but more likely to go in the summer, I reckon.

 

And, of course, there may well be a surprise exit or two if the right offers come in.

 

But that's five or six players we could lose without much of an impact on the team. Which would surely create room for 1-2 top quality arrivals!

[johnking123]

We will try to move on 4 and bring in 1. Think pre contract players will be the big aim, for the summer.

Outside of Watson, I don’t really see any obvious PCAs within Scotland. 
 

Exciting to see if JTA finds us more Kyziridis quality free transfers next summer!

Would love to get Watson in tbf. Feels common sense, but then so did Mulligan and we didn’t do that one. 

[boag1874]

Think it'll be more about outgoings for sure - things can change but as it stands Kartum is the most obvious one who can't get a look in & I think will definitely be going. Other than that we'll see who's getting gametime & who's kicking their heels once the window opens. 

 

Incomings if we can free up the funds then a quality RB would be the top of the list. 

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

Players that will move on will be those who are wanted by other clubs on the correct terms. Who we think is pointless

[johnking123]

If Beni and Devlin are not signed up. We will be looking to move one on. Or both, depending who is available at right price at the time.

I don’t think any of us would have considered/suggested signing Harry Milne (although he was known/rated within the game). 
 

Maybe there are one or two other gems in the Scottish leagues.

Yes but there will also be players who just aren't getting a look in & might want to go elsewhere rather than kick about the Oriam knowing they're not going to be picked. Most players want to play, Kartum for example will have come here expecting to be an important player & in reality now finds himself completely out of the picture after a change in manager - it's mutually beneficial for him to move on in January, he turns 30 tomorrow so his situation is different from some of the younger guys like Kerjota & Kabore who are biding their time waiting to step up

Someone has to want them, at the correct terms

[jamboinglasgow]

I think we will see a few move on, either on loan or permanent as players decide they need to get game time.

 

I do think we will sign at least one other on top of Chesnokov. I think we will look to take advantage of players coming to the end of their contracts in leagues that finish shortly.
