Theres not a chance either of these 2 will be at the Pars next season. What we do need clarity on for now is the manager and the other players waiting to sign deals. Rumours on Hibs sites that they are making a move for JCM so be good to get him wrapped up on a deal of some sort pronto. Even if it is just his extension to mean wed require being paid off for him.

I wouldn`t have thought so, DJAS, but every man has his price. Remember some of the signings Therangers made when they started out in League 2? Kevin Kyle was called up by Ally McCoist and asked if he`d like to jump on the Ibrox bandwagon.

I wouldn`t have thought Wanyama or even Lennon for that matter were realistic yet it happened so anything is possible.
If we are throwing silly about for wages who knows. Armstrong isn`t your stereotypical footballer, sure he was a late developer to FT football and is also a qualified lawyer so he may fancy a move back near home to see out his playing days. Wishful thinking of course.
I think we`ll see a few on the north side of 30 years old, possibly ones who Lennon has experience with and/or ones he brought through at Celtic who didn`t quite make the final step into the first team.
Outwith that Joe Shaughnessy is out of contract at Dundee, would fit the bill nicely for an experienced centre back especially if we play a back three. Ditto Ross Docherty from Dundee United for centre midfield although i'm not sure if he still has another year left to run.

I wouldn`t consider bringing Raymond back. Despite Ngwenya missing 10 games last season, I believe there are better and more consistent alternatives available who can genuinely challenge for the starting spot. The release of Comrie seemed to point towards a system using wing-backs, we will need 4 (2 each side ) first team quality players to contribute over the course of the season due to the physical demands it requires.
With that in mind, I wouldn’t be keen on signing any players released by St Johnstone. For example, Clark only featured for 25 minutes across their bottom-six fixtures and wasn’t even in the squad for their 2-0 defeat to Dundee. If st Johnstone thinks they are not worth keeping for the championship, I can`t see us going anywhere near them.

Clarke`s had 2 season stints in the Championship with us, Rangers and Dundee Utd, plus a 1 year spell at QOS at this level. 190 games, 54 goals and 25 assists – works out at 1.75 points per game, which isn’t bad on paper.
That said, last time he played in the Championship was with Dundee Utd in 19/20 – five years ago now. He’s 33 and clearly not fancied by St Johnstone to do a job at this level anymore. Or maybe they don`t see him being reliable.
We’ve already got Kane, who struggles with fitness when the workload ramps up. Do we really want to take another gamble up front? Clarke could maybe bring some experience to the squad, but I don’t think he would be worth the gamble. Feels like we need someone a bit more reliable. But he does know where the goal is I just don`t think we need another player who might struggle with the demands of a season.

Just to say though that st Johnstone are cutting costs, don’t assume that they didn’t think Clark couldn’t do a job for them in the championship as they released him, it could just be they can’t afford what he was looking for or have other strikers signed up for next season.
If Clark ended up at a half decent championship team he would score a few goals in the league next season for sure.

I know it’s all about levels but I saw him at Dumbarton a few times and thought he looked a player. I’m sure he’ll stay in the game and at 19, he might be a handy player to have in a Development Squad somewhere

It was another dig at me no doubt.
I suppose if we had a better team the striker doesn’t need to as mobile, it depends on how Lenny wants to play. Thistle play to get the ball into him at first opportunity and he doesn’t have to track back as much etc, it’s worked for him but as team it only gets you so far. Figure we’re aiming a bit higher than distant 4th next season?

Ah, I agree the "mobility" claim wasn`t the word I think he was looking for. Now if he had said reliable I`d agree with that considering how much games kane misses.
I saw that Archie Stevens has been released from Rangers. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. One of those players I actually thought he showed promise on his first appearance for us. He wasn’t afraid to take on his man and looked like he had that bit of spark about him. Thought if we’d worked on his delivery, he could’ve turned into a real asset out wide. And to bring it back to your earlier point, had the looks of someone who could really benefit a striker who isn`t the most mobile as maybe younger models.
But after that game he just seemed to go backwards. Stopped being direct, always playing it safe ,laying it off to the Comrie or into midfield instead of driving forward. Hard to know if that was the instructions from the dugout or a lack of confidence.
Maybe he just didn`t fit our system, maybe low on confidence at a club who struggled . Time will tell, I suppose.

Merely suggesting you don`t need to be "mobile" to be a successful striker in the Championship.

Are you seriously saying that if the top scorer in the league was available, you wouldn’t sign him?
After the absolute dross we’ve served up over the last few seasons, I’d bite your hand off for a "distant 4th" right now. We were literally the lowest scoring team in Scotland last season. Signing anyone who can stick the ball in the net is a welcome upgrade at this point.
That said, It`s not just about finishing. We also need players who can create chances. Maybe I’m missing your point here, Berkey, but I don’t get your logic.

I worked beside a family member of Docherty, so you obviously watch him closely over the years, for some office chat, and I must admit that he’s someone I really like and would love to see here.
He had injury and off field issues last season, which hampered his time at united, but I believe that’s all behind him now, so someone is getting a cracking player for this level.

Totally agree. We only just scraped by without ever looking convincing, and let’s be honest, there weren’t any real standout performers over the season ( Tobi maybe the only exception who is no longer here). Every single position should be up for grabs going into the new campaign. Whether it`s fresh signings or current players finally pulling their socks up, there’s a huge opportunity for someone to stake their claim.
If I was a new signing coming in, I’d fancy my chances of starting pretty much anywhere on the pitch. The competition for places could be a good thing for us as a squad. Kane’s maybe the only one who gets a pass when fit. If someone comes in, stays fit, and starts hitting the net regularly, it’d be hard to justify benching them just for the sake of kane.

If we’re looking for experience, there are a few players with knowledge of the Scottish game (and who may be looking to return) whose contracts are up and are being released down south: Sam Cosgrove (Barnsley), Jamie Walker (Bradford City), Dylan McGeouch, Paul Dummet and Josh Vela (all Carlisle), Conor McAleny (Salford) and Alex MacDonald (Rotherham). Regan Hendry (Tranmere) is also out of contract but the Wirral club is “in negotiations” with him. Given the team’s fortunes when he was in the team compared to when he was injured, they would be foolish to let him leave…

Good chance it`s Graham. Obviously played for NL at Hibs. It`s an offer to move into coaching. NL will want attacking football. Graham is obviously passionate about the game as still performing well at championship level. A good pro and role model for tge younger guys and will chip in with goals.

Lennon wasn’t known for his passing ability. He won the ball and played a simple pass. Was judged as being a hot head too, but was he not Martin O’Neill’s first signing for Celtic ?

Agree.
Playing in a back three he did well and surprisingly, given his height, was rarely beaten in the air. I also think he`d be a decent option as a right back in a back four.

Not against Hamilton staying, quite versatile in what might be a smaller squad and not the highest wages. I would be worried about our ambitions for top 3 if he’s regularly getting a game in middle of the park though.
Kane (young when Kane is injured) and Graham up front is an interesting one, if we get some decent wingers and midfielders in could be decent. Better than what we’re watched in the last few years anyway.

Spot on, DA. Just posted something similar on the other thread about Hamilton. He’s a solid squad option and gives Lennon a bit of flexibility,can cover a few different roles which is always useful. At the end of the day, we need a squad, not just a starting XI. Good to have players like him around who can do a job when needed.

I suppose it depends on circumstances. No doubt NL would put a team on the park he thought was best suited to winning the game. It depends on your opponents and what system you want to play. NL wants to play attacking football o I assume his recruitment may determine how he selects the team from the squad he puts together. NL has said you need to have the right attitude, and there were things he observed in his time when he arrived he was not happy with. The right attitude is what makes good players go on to be great players. At 23 CH best games are ahead of him. Personally, I see him in a back 3 or 4. He`s no slouch, and if you are playing attacking football, you need people at the back who can cover ground and defend.

I’m not totally convinced that NL fancied Ngwema. Maybe his ragged selection is down to injury rather than opinion, but with NL playing Raymond/Chalmers (who he later released) in front of him more times that not, I’m not sure he’s someone that NL would choose to have as part of his squad.
When Tidser had his rant about players attitude, after the Hamilton game, he seemed to disappear for a little while, but was never mentioned as being injured. Is he one of the players that Tidser singled out?? We’ll never know, but time will tell if NL rated him.

There is the possibility of a mutual termination. Manager tells a player he isn`t part of his plans and said player rather than sit in the stands wants to further his career.
I don`t particularly see it with the afore-mentioned but who knows what turnover of players we might see this time round.

It`s madness to even think that. Mehmet WILL be our back-up keeper next season, and the rest that are under contract will remain. UNLESS another club wants them, even if on loan.

It really does speak volumes about how bad recruitment has been when you look at some of the players still on the books. I’d be delighted to see of them moved on with a partial pay up if it costs us significantly less than the full cost of the remaining year on the deal. I’d actually keep Ngwenya in the squad although I’d like us to sign someone to play ahead of him.

Aye, it’s a tough one. From what I’ve heard, Tidser approached MOH about a mutual termination and he wasn’t up for it. A bit of a Rodwell situation really, like you saw on Sunderland `Til I Die. Unless a player’s got something lined up elsewhere, most are just gonna sit tight, pick up the wage, and wait it out. That’s the gamble you take when handing out longer term deals. Easy to say now with hindsight, of course.
Kieran’s a decent squad option, no doubt, but if we’re serious about kicking on, I’d like to see us bring in someone better. Especially if Lennon’s sticking with the wing-back system, not re-signing Comrie seems to hint at that. Getting someone who suits that role would be a smart move.
I’ve got a feeling we’ll see a new face in the door early next week. Still loads of time before the Betfred starts to get some new faces in.

We won`t be paying players off surely, no clubs are desperate to sign unwanted players from a team that`s been fighting relegation for 2 years, especially since this week ...there`s hundreds, if not thousands of free agents available.
Ngwenya is pretty decent anyway, the only in contract players who might be gone would be for breach of contract.
Mehmet will be our back up, before he signed for us he played almost no adult football (25 games in 11 seasons for a variety of clubs) so there is zero interest, he will be 33 this year also. He`s going nowhere.

Don’t think anyone’s accepting low standards, people are just being realistic. If we pay players off, that’s money gone, and it means less to spend on actually improving the squad.
Mehmet played 6 league games last season and shipped 9 goals. Not exactly screaming No.1 material but we are lumbered.with him because of mcpake.
Some folk need to temper what they’re expecting from this new owner. Yeah, the board’s got money, but we’re not going to chuck millions around just for the sake of it.

The reports I’ve heard is Lennon is on £10k a week…….and thats come from two separate sources with no connection to each other. IF we are paying that amount of money in this division, then we are already throwing money at it.
I guess the rest of the transfer window will either confirm or deny if these guys are willing to chuck millions at it or not.

Absolutely no chance Lennon’s on anywhere near 10k a week, that’s £520k a year. Worth keeping in mind the whole squad was on £832k last season (source: salarysport.com).
For a bit of context, David Gray is reportedly pulling in around £275k at Hibs. Lennon might be getting similar, maybe, but definitely not 10k a week.
Reckon he’s probably on a modest deal compared to other championship managers, but nowhere near those kinds of numbers.

If Gray at Hibs is on £275k then I actually don`t think £500k for Lennon is miles away from his `market value` - he`s more experienced, higher profile, and, frankly, we probably need to be paying him to drop down to this level.
It`s not beyond the realms of possibility that we are paying him that much, however most likely it`s a relatively low base package with significant performance related bonuses that works out at £10k a week if the performance criteria are met.

That`s the weekly figures i heard as well, albeit from the short term deal last season with a hefty bonus on top for keeping us up, to the tune of six figures.
Remember at the time he said the owner was a `very persuasive man` or words to that effect when talking about convincing him to join.

Could be that Lennon reckons he`ll get Tobi in. If he continues to improve, we might get a decent fee for him, whereas Bain has no sell on value and will demand a bigger salary because of his greater experience.
Wouldn`t be a "marquee signing " though, would he? 🤔

I’d actually love to see him come in (same goes for Callumn Morrison). Not sure The Wee Team would let him join us, so it feels unlikely — but he’s exactly the type of player we need, and I’d be delighted if it happened.
Sure, a few of our supporters might kick up a fuss — a small minority, no doubt — but if he performs, that won’t last long. I’m old enough to remember Andy Smith getting pelters on his debut, and he ended up a bit of a legend from the Paton era.

Some fans weren’t happy when we signed O’Hara. That section loves to give it out, especially to players "taking up the rear", but suddenly get a bit precious when a player scores and gives a bit back. I remember Scott McDonald doing the same ran backwards past them, stuck the bum out after scoring against us, and folk were raging then too.
Personally wouldn’t mind Easton. Quality player and proven at this level. If some can’t handle him giving it back to the young team now and then, that says more about them than him.
That said, I can’t see him coming here. Looks settled at Raith, I`m pretty sure his sons are ball boys there. he might be involved in the Joe Cardle Academy in some capacity too?

He’s no going to be a starter and lost his place to Clay for the end of the season.
He gets booked as he plays with passion and commitment, although he was rash and stupid in bookings from the last few games of the season.
Why you don`t rate him is baffling to me, though, as he is a commited, passionate player with skill. What`s not to like in that?

Some folk seem to think if the team`s had a poor season you should just get rid of everybody. It`s like the old view that anyone who was in the squad that got us relegated should have gone, regardless of how they performed in the promotion season.
The whole point about changing manager is that he casts a fresh eye over the squad and maybe sees players he thinks may not have realised their potential under previous managers. This may be because they were played out of position or in a formation that didn`t suit them. In some ways giving a player a new contract is possibly just like signing a new player.

If we had 11 Chris Hamiltons we wouldn’t win a game.
He tries and runs and loves the club but there is no end product or quality.
He’ll be a squad player and that’s it.
What qualities are you expecting from a holding/ball winning midfielder ?

Quality as in a final pass to a team mate would be good.
I’m not denying he’s a Pars fan and he tries every game but his overall quality is not good enough.

I think we need to temper our expectations, I feel some are assuming a title challenge. After the last few years I`d settle for being up there and around the play offs, it would be a vast improvement imo and signs of progress, promotion and building a team of the type of signings to achieve that is a quite a challenge in one year.
Last year I said I’d be happy with 5th and took Pelters (before the Forfar game mind you, a lot of folk changed their tune after that 😂) not being funny but I want us to be in the hunt for playoffs this year but again, improvement and 5th would do. If the boys want to surprise everyone and chase a league title, I’d bite your hand off but from where we were that’s to that is to much to ask.

Thomas didn`t get the chance to chuck it because he was stood down against QP. The team as a whole regressed at the business end of the 21/22 season, having looked to be turning the corner at the end of March.
He can, however, be dismissed as any sort of option given that he was part of a squad which once got relegated - and that means he`s proven to be not good enough at this level - and never will be.

And as DA rightly pointed out, let’s not forget how he left the last time. Didn’t exactly cover himself in glory, did he?
No doubt he’s a good player on his day, but how often is that day? Starting to feel like the cons outweigh the pros for me. Right now, we’re trying to build something fresh, hungry, and happy to be part of a squad. I`m not sure he fits that mould anymore.

I’ve no idea if either signing is actually on the cards, but both would be fantastic additions for the club. We all know how effective Callumn Morrison can be at this level, a proper game-changer and a goal threat. F**kirk definitely seemed to struggle after selling him in January; their results certainly dipped not long after.
Liam Boyce has had his injury troubles at Hearts, but he’s still a proven goalscorer and a real handful up top, a proper battering ram of a forward.
I imagine both players are still under contract, having only joined Linfield and Derry in January, but if there’s even a chance of bringing them in, they’d be cracking signings.

Boyce on a pay as you play deal would make sense. Class act when fit, no doubt about it, but keeping him fit is the big “if”. Can’t see him coming in on peanuts either, even on a reduced deal. We`ve already got Kane who`s made of glass how many times have we said “once he`s back fit…” only for him to break down again? Having two strikers on decent wages, both with injury red flags? Seems a bit of a gamble. Wouldn’t want to be relying on both week in, week out. That being said, when Boyce is on it, he’s a handful. He has a good touch, brings others into play, knows where the net is very similar to kane. Could be a shrewd bit of business if we manage his minutes properly.
As for Morrison no doubt he is a talented lad but similar to someone thomas in that he always seems to come with a bit of baggage. Think if the dressing room is solid enough to keep him in check, he could be a game changer and will improve the current squad 10 fold.
Feels like a lot of high risk, high reward signings being talked about. Again every signing is a risk but some are definitely more than others.

Agree with that, Berkey. Dom, on his game, can add that bit of quality or creativity that can make the difference in a tight game.
I also agree that a player`s relationship with his manager is vitally important. I believe Dom got on reasonably well with Peter Grant. Not so much with Mr Hughes, and he wasn`t alone.... 🙄

I always thought Dom Thomas played better when the TV cameras were there. In his first season, he scored one goal against Hearts and that was it.He scored 5 goals in 46 league appearances in total for us.
I remember he had a few assists from corners for Euan Murray at one point but I can`t remember too many from open play for a player of his ability.
I always felt he went into hiding if he didn`t fancy it. One game away at Cappielow sticks in mind, it was 0-0 and everyone was honking but he hardly had a touch before he was hooked and put out of his misery. He started 36 league games for us and I reckon he was subbed off in more than half of them, very rarely did he play 90 minutes?
All of that being said he is an upgrade on anything we have seen in recent seasons.

Aren`t we obsessed with stats nowadays with concentration on goals and assists, and clean sheets for defenders and goalies? How do you assess the impact of a player who is a bit unpredictable, raises expectations when he gets the ball and drags opponents out of position with his movement and passing, say?
This isn`t meant to be an unqualified approval of Dom Thomas who would bring a bit of `baggage` with him if he signed but I do think there is still a place in football, certainly in the Scottish Championship, for players like him.

A piece in the Belfast Telegraph about Want`s departure, from two days ago:
Scottish defender Shaun Want has left Larne after three successful seasons at Inver Park.
The 28 year-old departure is a hammer blow for the Invermen, as Want is widely regarded as one of the Irish League’s best centre backs.
In a statement, Larne said: ‘We can confirm that Shaun Want will depart the club upon the expiry of his contract this month, returning to Scotland for family reasons.
“The club respects Shaun’s decision to put family and wishes him the best of luck at his next club.”
Want joined Larne from Hamilton Academicals, where he spent seven season making 47 appearances in the Scottish Premiership.
At Larne, Want won two Irish League winners’ medals and lifted the County Antrim Shield on two occasions. This season he helped the Invermen qualify for the Conference League thanks to a second placed finish in the Sports Direct Premiership.

Don’t think many apart from a few on here expected the club to just start chucking money around. We`ve put some funds into improving the pitch, minor adjustments to the astro with a few portacabins at Rosyth. Fair to say we’re spending more on the first team than we have in recent seasons, but I doubt Lennon’s been given a blank cheque.
From what he said in his last interview, it sounds like the plan is steady progress. Aim for top 4 this season, then kick on from there with a few required tweaks.
That said, it will cost us a bit more this time round, just because the first team squad really needed strengthening and we paid off a fair bit of the squad from last season.

Totally agree, Cammy. I think the new owners and club board have done really well with the investment so far. That said, there were definitely a fair few supporters — on here, P&B, and across social media — who seemed to expect the club to go all-in and bankroll “well kent faces” like GMS, Gallagher, etc.
Hey, it still might happen (I’ve said a few times that I thought Gallagher would’ve been a great addition), but personally, I’d much rather see us take the progress route than build a squad full of 33 year olds.

I think the plan is development. It will put the analytics to best use. Sensible investment and small steps. There is little value in bringing in players in their mid 30`s unless they bring serious experience, still injury free and able to contribute on the park over the season.

Out of the clubs who were already in the league there’s not been much in the way of signings so no really missed out on anyone.
St J have signed 3 players who were in this league last season and imo are not that great.
Ross County have signed experience yeah Gallagher would have been nice but our defence was good towards the end of the season and as for GMS he will get booted of the ball most weeks and has been injury prone last few seasons.

Getting Lenny in was a massive statement from the club. Let’s be honest, we landed the best available manager to develop the young talent we`re clearly building around. And he’s got the CV to back it up. Look at what he did with Frimpong. Perfect example of how he can improve a player and help them kick on to the next level.
As for who we’ve “missed out” on?I’m not seeing it. Be interested to hear who you think we should have gone for. From what I’ve seen, Livingston have recruited really poorly given they are now in the top league. Can’t say any of the Championship sides have made standout signings either, unless I’ve missed something?

Whoever wanted want has a want about them. I mean if you want me to want what other people want, then I want to want it too, but sometimes I just want to want what I want, regardless of what you want, because wanting what others want isn’t always what I want to want, even if you really want me to want what you want.

From the Courier -
Freed Dunfermline midfielder Joe Chalmers could be on his way back to Inverness Caley Thistle. The experienced play-maker’s availability has alerted rival clubs in the Championship but it is understood Caley Thistle have held talks with the former Motherwell and Ayr United player and made clear their interest.

Good luck to McCann, plenty to thank him for, but good for both him and the club, he needs a new start, i hope he has something left Ned up, sounds like he might.
Dapo needs some luck, and a run at it, probably needs to step down a level to get that.

From what I’ve seen and heard, whether it’s chatting with other fans or reading through forums and social media, I think most of us would be pretty happy with a solid push for the play-offs. Whether that’s the expectation inside the dressing room or at the club, I’m not so sure.
One thing I think we’d all agree on is that Gallagher and Docherty going to County are solid signings for them. If they can keep GMS fit and consistently on the park, he could be just as important. St Johnstone have been quietly steady too, and to be honest, I think Tumilty would’ve been a decent signing for just about any Championship club.
So yeah, we’ll need to wait and see what kind of business we do from here. But in my view, aiming for a play-off challenge feels like a fair expectation at this point. With just one transfer window, it’s a big ask to go from 7th to 1st overnight.

Yeah I think we’d need a pretty big improvement from players already under contract (alongside our new signings) to go from 7th to 1st.
It’ll be really interesting to see who we actually sign after all of the players rumoured.
With the signings of Gilmour and Oakley-Boothe I wonder if it’ll be a 4-3-3 with those two in the midfield with Otoo? If that was the case we need at least a CB, a couple of wingers and a striker.
So plenty of work to do.

These signings are the type that would liked to have seen our investors go for. Experienced players that have succeeded at this level before.
We either haven’t gone for them, or been priced out, so let’s hope we can make moves for the next tier ahead of Raith, Ayr, Partick etc.
Would like to see a couple more new faces come in this week, so that this window doesn’t start looking like previous summers. Optimism is still high btw 😂

I would think top 4 has always been the aim, and to be fair to Lennon, that’s a realistic and steady target given where the squad’s at. He’s clearly focused on building something sustainable, and you can see the year on year progress being the plan.
I’m all for bringing in "pathway" signings as long as it’s balanced with (ready made) for the want of a better term, quality where we need it. The holes in the squad are obvious, but I’m hopeful we’ll get them sorted in good time. Still some weeks left in the window I still think there is no need to panic yet.
Wouldn’t shock me if Tobi’s in goal for the opener, and I’m alright with that if it happens to be the case. He’s shown he can handle it when called upon. Defence obviously needs attention imo with RWB, CB and LWB are all areas where we need proper reinforcements. But again, I’ve got faith the recruitment team knows this and moves will be made to strengthen these areas.
Midfield`s in a good spot if we play with a 3. Solid options and a bit of depth too. If the right upgrade comes up, great, but not a priority. Up front, we could use another striker. Someone to take the load off Kane and give us a different option when needed.
All in all, I trust Lennon’s got a handle on what we need and where. Would be nice to see a couple come in soon to give them time to bed in, but there seems to be a clear plan in place, and that’s a big positive compared to the last window.

I’m not too worried that we haven’t announced any big signings yet—aside from Gilmour, and time will tell with him. What does concern me, though, is the lack of obvious, realistic talent out there, domestically, for us to go after.
I’m assuming we’re not shopping in the Scottish market this window, or if we are, surely it’s not in the free transfer pool?
Also, getting a bit fed up with the Dylan Easton rumours. No one’s backing it up with anything concrete, so it just feels like folk are at it for a laugh.

``I’m assuming we’re not shopping in the Scottish market this window, or if we are, surely it’s not in the free transfer pool?``
Cook said in his June update that we are exploring International and domestic markets. Data driven and traditional scouting techniques in the domestic market.
Lennon said a few weeks ago that he wanted most his players in for the start of pre-season training, clearly something has not gone to plan and we have missed out on a few targets.

Moses Ebiye whilst not especially prolific in the SPL, is big and powerful and would give us something we have sorely lacked up front.

Lennon said he “expected” signings in the next few days, not that they were already in the building and to be fair we did make a new signing yesterday.
Anyone who`s followed a transfer window knows how quickly things can change. Agents drag things out, other clubs get involved, players have second thoughts or want to wait for a better offer, it`s not a pc game we are in here.
Cook saying we’re looking at both domestic and international markets doesn’t change anything either, that’s what we should be doing. Doesn’t mean we’ve binned off our targets, just that we’re casting the net a bit wider, which is smart if deals are stalling.
I get the frustration, everyone wants new faces in early. But it’s better to wait and get the right player than panic and end up with another 6-month wage sink who’s not up to scratch. We’ve rushed into enough duds in the past, haven’t we?
Let’s see where we are come pre-season proper. If we’re still short then it`s fair enough ask questions regarding recruitment. But two weeks of quiet doesn’t mean the plan collapsed. We don`t know who the club are looking at or have been looking at unless you have that information of course?

3 signings when your squad needs overhauled was never going to cut it when the manager had been quoted as saying it was a “big summer”.
Under McPake far too much influence was placed on loans who as well as being a gamble got started late and the team were playing catch up until they gelled which you could argue never actually happened. We had one goalie for the cup campaign, incredibly amateurish. I thought we were sure to avoid similar this time round, but there’s plenty areas where we are left with the same personnel as per the last two seasons.

That is a concern Dandy, if players want to play in the highest league in the country, they may not fancy us as a good bet for promotion after absolutely dismal last few seasons we have had. We haven’t looked like a team anywhere near getting to the SPL since the horrible moment that Peter Grant walked in the door.
This is where signings can snowball tho, you bring in a couple of players with real quality and then others start to fancy coming here a bit more because they believe we have a good shot at getting up. We haven’t had that yet but I’m hopeful it is coming. We need 7 or 8 quality players to come in and start if we are to compete at the top.

I think so far we are all a little underwhelmed about the lack of quality signings. Other than fan gossip there has been very little about who we have actually had as targets and so very hard to say if e have missed out on them or if discussions are ongoing.
As an example it has been posted that we made an offer for Dylan Easton of £80k which was rejected. I have no idea the truth in this. But if true, it doesn’t mean we won’t go back with a better offer. Likewise some of the players we have targeted may be waiting to see if there are any other better offers or they may have turned down our initial offers and are waiting to see if we will offer better terms.
That does not equate to being able to say as ‘fact’ we have missed out on all these targets and are now on to plan B targets.
Also totally ignores the fluidity of the transfer window, where a club higher up make a they have new signing which in itself releases a current player they have as a possible signing.
Anyone who makes a statement and tries to justify their opinion as being a ‘fact’ needs a block filter applied.

I do wonder if there`s been a complication with gamdom becoming the club sponsor, as DC said in the recent update they are still finalising sponsorship and kit etc.
I understand there`s been a few clubs down south impacted by league rules and gambling sponsorships recently and I wondered at the time if this would affect us. That would explain the delay and also srj being on the new training kit. How would this affect the managers budget?
This is purely me asking the question and I might be adding 2+2 and getting 5 here but it doesn`t yet feel like the big summer promised or the new owner bounce we felt in January (potentially for good reason signing wise)

I think that with NL`s reputation we are going to attract a certain type of player. Coupled with the fact that we don`t want too many loans but permanent signings, it probably leaves you with a small percentage of an available pool.
I feel confident that the end of June we will see some players coming in. For me it`s quality over quantity.

At the moment this pre season is a repeat of the previous couple pre seasons some big chat from Lennon and Cook but not much actually happening.
You would think going to Bulgaria we would have at least 4 or 5 new signings get them integrated with the current squad build team morale etc but if feels like are aren`t close to that.
But we shall see it`s still early.

No one can say the Witherspoon deal was done early, in my view it was at least a year too late and that was reflect in the precious little he put up last season.
Paradice might be on to something, we’ve undoubtly missed out on a couple of players we were after, maybe there’s an issue with the fandom/sponsorship money coming through which means we haven’t added anyone.
We’ll need a few in before the trip to Bulgaria, otherwise it’s an expensive excercise sending the reserves out there!

From the Record -
Raith Rovers have snapped up Richard Chin on a two-year deal.
The wide man arrives at Stark`s Park following a standout campaign with Farnborough.
He brings versatility by being able to play comfortable at full-back or in a more advanced role while he also offers an option on either flank.
He scored seven goals and provided six assists in 42 appearances last term.
If he can cover two positions he must be a double Chin or maybe a quadruple Chin!

Lennon wouldnt be here if that was the case seeing as according to some they are apparently paying for him also?
"We’ll need a few in before the trip to Bulgaria, otherwise it’s an expensive excercise sending the reserves out there!"
or maybe there will be a load of foreign trialists being looked out when they are there?
talking of missing out on players, Hancock was one i would have liked to seen here if we could have got him. Wilson leaving has been rumoured for a while, wonder if McNamara has the depth in his client list to replace these guys or will Airdrie have to look outside his agency.

Some news from Dundee -
Dundee have revealed they remain in talks with Josh Mulligan over a new contract. The midfielder is set to become a free agent this summer amid interest from Rangers and a number of English clubs. But the 22-year-old could yet remain at Dens Park.
The Premiership club also revealed that Scott Fraser, Mo Sylla, Antonio Portales, Scott Tiffoney and Joe Shaughnessy would depart a the end of their deals.
Lyall Cameron and Jordan McGhee also leave having penned pre-contract agreements with Rangers and Motherwell respectively.

The owners have a recruitment team who find players for all three of their clubs. So that is certainly a possibility.

There`s a difference between asking for patience and just tossing out daft suggestions like let’s go sign a guy who was a regular in the league above.
Seriously, why on earth would Tiffoney come here?
Scott Tiffoney 23/24 Season (Dundee):
Apps: 33 (23 starts)
Goals: 5
Assists: 4
Key passes/game: 1.1
Minutes played: 2,100+
Helped Dundee finish 6th playing decent football.
He`s 25, entering his prime and just had a solid season in the top flight. Do you think he’s giving that up to join a side that just about scraped survival in the league below last season?
I get folk wanting signings, we all do, but let’s be realistic here. We’re not going to suddenly attract players who’ve just played 30+ games in a better team in a higher league. There’s no logical reason he’d drop down I can see.
Set the bar where it belongs. Tiffoney will probably have a deal with a new club lined up and I don`t think it will be us.

I don`t see the wow factor in Tiffoney. He`s a forward with the goal scoring stats of a decent attacking midfielder. He doesn`t score many goals. 6 goals in 35 games doesn`t sound great to me.
I`m just saying.
As someone above said, there is a reasonable chance the manager will be looking at a few players in Bulgaria. We could pick up a gem that sees us as a good stepping stone.

Celtic have signed Isaac English, a 17 year-old defender from Morton, who hasn`t played a first-team game. The fee is reckoned to be c£50k.
Btw, good luck to Joe C. Maybe he`ll be more appreciated at ICT than he was with us.

I see youngsters like that as adding depth to academy, with the potential to make an impression in the first team, and in the end net us a decent transfer ahead. It`s prudent business if it pays off. Not all will be successful, but I think it`s worth the risk as they won`t be costing a lot.
We`ll still be bringing in more immediate first team focused players, I don`t doubt that.

Possibly made signings and waiting to unveil them with the new strips.
Possibly the issues with sponsorship have impacted our budget for players, temporarily at least.
It’s hard to know but it is frustrating watching other teams in the division sign players who would improve our squad.
We need 7 or 8 players of real quality in the door to compete at the top of the championship. Whether we get them or not will only be revealed in the fullness of time.

Good young Goalie. Coached with his Dad for a few years and he brought both his sons along periodically to our youth sessions. Good to see Lewis making his way in the game, think Kyle has had to drop down to amateurs or lower WOSFL to get an opportunity.

Can`t believe the wee temper tantrums by the dot net babies on here over news signings. There`s not many that our rivals have signed that I would have liked to see here. I`d say only Dec Gallagher and Ross Doherty would get a game ahead of the players we currently have on the books, and I`d expect us to either already have better signed up or be about to. They are both the wrong side of 30 too.
Euan Murray, give me a break. He wasn`t that great when he was here, despite a few goals. Totally downed tools when he decided he was off elsewhere too. Guys like that aren`t fit to play for Dunfermline Athletic.

Or
Both wont to use the options so another year happens
If it not an option available and both parties want to extend they do it.

What makes you think the club is "dilly dallying", Neil? Players and their agents have held the upper hand in negotiations at least since the Bosman ruling. Agents will stall on any deal, especially if there is interest from other clubs, and will use that as a lever to get more money for their clients.
Some of us make think these tactics are a bit underhand, but it`s the agent`s job to get the best deal he can for the players he represents and, of course, it will see him net a bigger cut of the cake.

I don`t think there is much genuine panic although it will start getting that way watching teams squad building whilst we aren’t signing many players. That being said from the championship signings so far there isn`t much if any I would want to sign for us.
Transfer windows aren’t won in June. The smart clubs do their groundwork early but pull the trigger when the timing and price are right. Just because other teams are splashing cash now doesn’t mean it’s smart business. Livingston signings have been for the most part underwhelming.
Just because deals aren’t public yet doesn’t mean nothing’s happening behind the scenes. The club could easily be working on 2–3 priority signings that take time due to agent games, negotiations, players reluctant to sign without exploring their options.
Let’s judge the window after it closes, not while it’s barely opened.

I thought that the communication from the club indicated they hoped to sign players within the next 2-3 weeks. Realistically, that`s the end of June. It suggests that they are in negotiation with players and agents, and it may be that some are still under contract or their agents feel there is still time to look at their options. I`m not expecting any big money signings, potentially one or two with experience and others looking for first team football to kick on with their careers. It will be up to the coaches and manager to shape them into a team that can challenge for the title in the championship
As others have said, I don`t see the players signed by other clubs in the league as being a marked improvement on the players we have. I wonder how many of them we were actually interested in signing. I suspect we are going a bit further afield. The English leagues, U21`s, and potentially international players but that may depend on permits etc.

Dandy, I have set my expectations on what the club has communicated through Cook, Lennon and Bord. Playing at the top level and European football, getting out of the championship as quickly as possible. It would logically follow that we intend to put in a credible title challenge. We would need to sign several good players to do this. I have been expecting them to arrive this summer.
Perhaps with two teams coming down from the SPL, we have shelved our ambition for a year and do not intend to have a real go at getting up. Maybe it is now the plan to tread water for a year in the championship and sign some players to develop awaiting a more favourable opportunity to splash cash and get up.

It`s a difficult job for any manager to turn a bottom of the league team into an instant title chasing team. It takes time, especially with a such a large turnover in players. F*lkirk winning the league was a very rare freak result that nobody would have predicted.
Have a bit of patience. After last year anything is possible, but I`m not expecting us to go straight up. I`d be happy scraping into the top 4 or finishing not far off it. Anything else is a bonus. Neil Lennon is a very good manager, he is not however, a miracle worker.

Wrexham fans were disappointed he was let go. Don`t think there were any fitness issues and his technical ability is way above our level. Think he could be a brilliant signing for next season. Connor Young could learn a lot from him and Kane.

I was very sceptical when the Pars signed Brewster at 35. It didn`t take me long to realise how misplaced that scepticism had been. Brew was perfect for Stevie. He could hold the ball up and lay off the perfect pass for his strike partner to run on to. Neither player was as effective without the other. Craig added a lot to his game during his time in Greece.
And Brewster was still playing for the Pars at 38, so I`d be delighted to welcome Fletcher. Age is no barrier if you`ve looked after yourself and you train well. Fletcher is class. Would love to see him at EEP.

He would do a job for us both on and off the park. He still doesn`t seem ready to retire. If he has kept fit he still has 2 or 3 years of playing and making a contribution. He would be a great signing for us and a leader on the park up front.

I think it was a lot more interesting before they introduced transfer windows and signings could be made during the season until about 6 weeks before the last game. Leish in particular seemed to sign players on a Friday to whip up a bit of interest for Saturday if fortunes were flagging a bit.

A couple of young players are heading south from Hamilton with compensation due according to the Record -
Sheffield United are set to sign Hamilton youngster Cole Hay. The left winger is set to make the switch to Bramall Lane. The Scottish youth international has been down training with the English Championship side throughout the course of the season and has impressed. The Blades are set to make it a permanent arrangement with Accies due compensation for the 16-year-old. Sheffield United have previously raided Accies with grand success to sign Ryan One.
Meanwhile, young Accies keeper Kerr Reynolds is also set to move to Hull City. The 16-year-old, also a Scottish youth cap, is set to move south for a compensation of around £75,000.

Comrie been most dependable player we’ve had for years so can’t agree at all.
Reason why I was ok with him leaving is would be good to have more of a wing back, that is just as dangerous up top as they are solid in defence and I think Bray aligns more.
Would be an excellent signing for Hamilton.

I agree Camdeanboy. I don`t agree with this 7/10 every week stuff. Not the worst of players and certainly one of the better ones we released but limited. Not good going forward, not great on the ball. Felt he slashed at things a lot when under pressure. Physically thought he was out muscled in 50/50s. His best attribute was sticking at it, even if the winger beat him he would keep at it. Clearly most comfortable when being asked to sit as a defensive right back and not do much else.
I think we can improve that area and it was the right thing for him to go. Think Top end league 1 bottom end championship was his level.

It’s hard to argue against the fact that League 1 is where he`s ended up, it doesn’t mean he’s a bad player, just probably reflects where he’s best suited at this stage. I liked Comrie too, always gave a solid shift and rarely let you down, but in a team that was crying out for leaders or standouts, he never quite stepped up beyond the steady 6 or 7. Nothing wrong with that, but if you’re wanting to push for top 4 or promotion, you probably need more than just steady. He’ll likely do a good job for Hamilton, but it says a lot that no Championship clubs were queuing up to take him.

I think it’s a case of, if you need a dependable, strong right back then you’d be hard pushed to find anyone at our level better than Comrie.
Think it’s more of a case that football has evolved and the requirements of those in that position are different and like I say, more wing back, which isn’t in Comries toolkit.
Don’t think we should take that as a slant on his capability as a footballer.

I would have thought Hamilton are favourites to win League 1. ICT will be their main rivals but they start with a 5-point penalty.

Another ex-Par on the move -
Experienced defender Jackson Longridge has signed for Morton on a one-year deal.
The 30-year-old spent the last two years at Hamilton but left the club following their relegation to League One.
And Dougie Imrie has moved swiftly to bring the former Livingston defender in, hoping he can bring `experience and versatility` to his defence.
I’m delighted to get Jackson in. He will add good experience to the squad, and he can play a number of positions that will provide real versatility to the backline as well as providing competition for places.

Just as there is a `merry-go-round` of Scottish players, there is also a Romanian one according to the president of Dinamo Bucharest who are on the point of signing Danny Armstrong.
`Negotiations are very advanced between us and Danny Armstrong. He is very close to signing for Dinamo. He is a very promising player and will play a big part in our long term plans.
We have decided to look at foreign players for the new season rather than sign the many Romanian players who are roaming around, having done nothing in their careers. We are trying to build something at the club. We are very ambitious.`

Not a rumour, but Portuguese winger Jair Tavares has just been released by Hibs. Was in Benfica youth, played 30 odd games for Hibs over a couple of seasons and a few for Motherwell on loan last year, mostly off the bench (sometimes at right wing back). Career looks in need of a re-boot. Described as one who takes on defenders. Could be worth a look for the Pars?
Sat next to him at Easter Road season 23/24 one game and had been bombed out by Lee Johnson. He had 4 steak pies during the game 😂

Never really rated McMullen when we had him before. Always felt he lacked vision and didn’t pick his head up before putting a ball in, the result being most of his balls into the box were ineffective. Ran with his head down. I thought he was big downgrade on cardle who I think we had just released. He might have improved with experience.

Certainly, with Louis Moult they have asked the question but hasn’t gone far beyond that. I also hear that there is potential interest in an Irish player...`

Moult and Kane could be an ideal pairing, Kane’s hold up play when there is two strikers is what he was best known for at St Johnstone. He’s had to do all the hard work himself last year nobody reached anywhere near his goal contributions.

Moult did well 2 seasons ago in a team largely dominating but is now 33 and barely played last season due to injuries. He would be a big gamble and given Kane can’t string a run of games together, we need someone more reliable.
Hopefully we are able to cast the net a bit wider than an aging striker with an ever increasing injury record, this was what I hoped for anyway.

One thing I believe we wont do is sign anyone suspect on the injury front. Lennon has stated he wants "available" people. We now have a very robust backroom team of analysts/physios etc. Age wont matter - durability will.

Some could do with taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture here. A fully fit Louis Moult is a top striker at this level, no two ways about it. 18 goals in 33 Championship games in his last spell in these waters says it all. Yes, the injuries last season is a slight concern, no denying that, but if we`re building a side that creates chances, he’s exactly the kind of player you want on the end of them.
A few on here are dreaming big because Bord`s in the building, but let`s be honest, we’re not suddenly going to be chucking six figure wages about. Moult, if managed right, is a smart addition. Knows the league, knows the game, and can finish. For a team that struggled for goals I can`t see the problem.
And for those questioning the signing, who exactly do you think we’re getting that’s better? There isn`t a queue of 20 goal strikers just waiting to drop down to this level. When Kane’s going to miss spells, we need someone who can step up, and Moult’s got the pedigree.
Big if, keeping him fit, but if we manage that, he could turn out to be a good bit of business.

Moult`s predigree and recent success at this level makes him a logical signing. Its not comparing apples with apples as the supply lines in that Utd team with Sibbald/Middleton/Fotheringham even Mochrie created many of the oppertunities he put away and partnership with Watt etc.

As DA put it, easy to say no to things on here but little by way of providing alternatives.
It would be interesting to see how it would work in terms of game time with the existing Connor Young, Kane and Sutherland alongside a Moult/Easton/Fletcher or whoever comes in.

Would be a decent option in terms of adding experience and if (massive if) we can keep both him and Kane fit the only problem is who will supply them with the chances.

I also saw the teams from that and was surprised Cosgrove didn`t have anything set up. Can only assume he wants to stay down there, and is maybe looking for decent wages, as you could see a number of Scottish clubs fancying him.
Kane Hemmings in that lineup was the one that gave me horrible flashbacks. It seems like some kind of ridiculous fever dream imagining going into a playoff against `lowly` Cowdenbeath and them pitching up with the brilliant Greg Stewart and Kane Hemmings up front.

After Celtic he has pretty much lasted one season at every club and then been moved on the following year whether it be permanent or on loan.
Easy to brand him a bad apple, big ego, lazy, disruptive influence and all the rest of it but there has to he something behind that especially with all the talent he undoubtedly had.

I’m firmly in the camp of people who are glad we didn’t sign him, and to be honest, if we were seriously interested, I reckon he would’ve come here.
After that initial breakthrough at Celtic, I’ve always seen him as one of those Scottish strikers who showed real promise early on but let himself down with having a poor attitude.
Andy Halliday and the Open Goal lads have touched on it too. Halliday mentioned last season that Watt used to eat takeaways every night, three-course meals of Chinese every night, but he eventually got himself into good shape with the help of a dietitian last season. So maybe he is starting to take his game more seriously now, but it’s probably too late to truly fulfil the promise he once had and is probably why he’s had around 15 clubs and never really stuck anywhere.

Not like wee eck to take me referencing a single game where it was memorable in how poorly we were set up and extrapolate that i must be saying something totally different such as it was the youngsters who relegated us in his rush to try and score a point. Gosh darn it, the gruesome twosome, those heros of mediocrity who follow every post I make within 10minutes of making it have scored a rare win. At ease soldiers.
In many cases including that game against Raith where it was blatantly obvious, the youngsters were effectively hung out to dry regardless of being individually good enough or not.

I don`t really follow your logic in the second paragraph above. In 2020-21 Stevie Crawford was the manager but he resigned during the following close season to be replaced by Peter Grant for 2021-22. I`m pretty sure the consensus is that it was his recruitment and style of play that set us on the path to relegation, aided and abetted by John Hughes who replaced him after about 3 months. I fail to see how the way SC set us up the previous season had anything to do with it.

I wondered that myself. I saw him a few times at QoS and he looked excellent. I know a GK Coach who worked with him and he says he will be an International Goalkeeper one day. The couple of times I watched Ayr last season, he was in and out and when he was in, I didn’t see anything that made him a standout but I didn’t see anything to suggest he wasn’t good enough.
I spoke to Paul Gallagher about him (at the Meet The Goalkeepers event at East End) and he said he is very highly regarded at Hearts and they are also funding him through a legal Degree, but Gallagher also said he felt he had a big future in the game.
I would be in favour of signing him, but it would probably be a loan deal again, by the sound of things.

Harry Stone I’d take if we were going with Mehmet as number 1. He has looked alright whenever I have seen him.
I’ve also read Buster that he is very highly rated, I can only comment from experience of watching him much like yourself.
On another note all together, I’m really surprised Hale is still at County. Would really expect him to be off before the window is closed.

Whilst we would ideally like better than Mehmet, if we had to we could stick with him. If we are a bigger more physical team it would mitigate some of his flaws in terms of not leaving his line at free kicks and corners etc
Assuming we can’t have everything we want this summer I’d be happy to go with Mehmet so long as we got a new number 10 in to help create the goals

In fairness, Mehmet showed on Saturday that he`s not great when he does leave his line either

A couple of items from the Record relating to the Championship -
Stevie Mallan featured as a trialist for St johnstone in their 1-1 draw with Dundee Utd. Mallan impressed for Simo Valakari.s side as the Finn looks to add to his squad ahead of their Championship campaign. And fans` reaction to the former St Mirren and Hibs star was positive, with a number keen to see him win a deal with the Perth club for this season.
and
Celtic have ditched their co-operation agreement with Queen`s Park and will go with Ayr United instead.

We`ve watched enough of Mehmet to know his level by now and one thing he`s definitely not is a starter for a team chasing a championship title. Lennon knows this fine well going by his comments. Mehmets a good back up option.

From the Record -
`Hamilton boss John Rankin is hoping the club`s transfer embargo will be lifted in the next `week to ten days` – allowing him to sign trialists Charlie Telfer and Ricki Lamie. Accies are unable to sign players after being hit with a 15-point deduction and an embargo in May. The docked points meant they were relegated to League 1 and they`ve been unable to sign anyone since. Telfer and Lamie featured as trialists in the 4-0 defeat to Hearts and Rankin is hoping to be able to offer them deals soon.`
Did Aaron Comrie sign for Hamilton or not? I haven`t seen him in any line-up.

At this stage, he`s probably being tagged along with promise of a deal as soon as the embargo is lifted. TBH he`s not that likely to be awash with full time offers.
Footballers take risks all the time. I`d say potentially signing a deal with Hamilton is quite a big one when it`s known that they recently have failed to pay wages. If he`s not got another deal ready then it`s not that much harm hoping it works out. If it doesn`t he can put himself back on the market without much issue at this time in the season. He`s got about 6 weeks of clubs actively looking to improve their squads to work with

Louis Lloyd - watched him play for Caernarfon v Newtown back in October. Looked decent but the standout player on the pitch that day was Josh Lock for Newtown. 21 year old TNS attacking midfielder. Ironically, got loaned to Caernarfon in January after his stint finished at Newtown. Looked like he could move up in the game, suppose needs to establish himself at TNS first who are obviously head and shoulders above the rest of the Welsh League.

I wouldn`t say da no 1 and I always share the same opinion but I suspect we are both frustrated by the tendency on here for posters to form an opinion when not in possession of the full facts. For me that is particularly clear when the role of the CEO is discussed. I wouldn`t like my performance in my job to be criticised in public by people who don`t know the specific terms of reference my employers have charged me with and I would think most reasonable people would feel the same. It`s different for the manager, say, because he operates in full view of the public and his success or failure is more easily assessed - by results on the field of play.

Ross County aiming for bankruptcy? It`s widely reported that teams like County and ICT struggle as few players want to live there far from the central belt. This means they have to offer incentives like extra wages or free/reduced rent. County will never attract a big enough crowd to be offering more than any similar sized central belt team and we all know what happens when a benefactor gets bored/runs out money/dies.

I took a few weeks off from .net cos I was bored of it myself. Come back and it’s still happening. Couldn’t help myself. I like seeing people discussing differing opinions, I don’t like a pile on because someone has a different opinion.

I like .Net cos I can see and discuss our club but I really can’t be bothered with snarky, know-it-all gang ups and constant berating of particular individuals. I’ve stuck up for peoples opinions on here even though i didn’t necessarily agree with that opinion just cos I could see what was happening.

Surely there must be some medium term plan for County.
Settling for 11th whilst ducking and diving every year by virtue of hoping there is one team who are worse than you, whilst bringing in the majority of players from abroad and/or lower English leagues on loan and often having to supplement that by paying over the odds in wages or other incentives due to their physical location. Then when it goes wrong, rinse and repeat with the same cycle to get back up.
Not sure if McGregor family are involved the same way the Thompson`s were at Dundee United but you have to wonder what will happen when the time comes and there is no more investment.

Declan McManus went to TNS for about 70k according to Transfermarkt, and looking at his numbers (132 games, 95 goals, 26 assists) he’s clearly been banging them in for fun. He`s just made the move to Coleraine now but it does make you wonder.
Some folk are quick to turn their noses up at the Welsh league or the Irish Premiership, but goals are goals and if they’ve got the attitude and fitness to step up, why not take a punt?
Especially given the market we’re in, we’re not going to be spending six figures. A proven finisher like McManus at the right age and price is exactly the type we should be targeting. That level’s no walk in the park either physical, tight games, similar in ways to what we face week to week.
It’s the sort of deal smart clubs make. Let other teams be snobby about it – if they’re scoring goals and fit the system, bring them in.

Nicky Clark Signed for Ross County on 1 year deal
Not sure this really improves them, but does it signal the end of Hale’s time there??
A lot of (Pie & Bovril) rumours state that he was a really bad egg in the dressing room and was behind a lot of unsettling rumours during his time at St.Johnstone.
When I have seen him play, since leaving us, he doesn’t seem to have the legs anymore. I know TV can be deceiving, but he looks totally done.
Wouldn’t be the signing I’d want, but it’s another that’s sure to boost the Ross County wage bill, and he may even be an extra player to keep GMS company in the stand 😂

The last couple of years hasn`t been great football wisefor us to say the least, but I can say the players have been decent guys, honest professionals trying their best.
In the not too distant past we`ve had our share of toxic personalities, grown men with ruinous habits etc.
I would like to continue with doing our diligence on the players we bring in.

I’m not sure if Clark will still have goals in him at this level or not. It’s a gamble.
He was a decent penalty box striker when we had him although offered precious little else. Sort of player that was fine if you are controlling games, getting plenty balls into them.
Interested to see if he is still as dangerous in the box, I hope he isn’t.

Can you not just start a thread in off topic and put this petty pihs patter in there?
St J have signed a prolific gs from the welsh league. Seems to be highly rated but difficult to judge how well he will do over here.
Louis Lloyd - watched him play for Caernarfon v Newtown back in October. Looked decent but the standout player on the pitch that day was Josh Lock for Newtown. 21 year old TNS attacking midfielder. Ironically, got loaned to Caernarfon in January after his stint finished at Newtown. Looked like he could move up in the game, suppose needs to establish himself at TNS first who are obviously head and shoulders above the rest of the Welsh League.
Ahh interesting. I wonder if it’s a league we have looked at. Probably pick them up for pretty nominal fees.
Declan McManus went to TNS for about 70k according to Transfermarkt, and looking at his numbers (132 games, 95 goals, 26 assists) he’s clearly been banging them in for fun. He`s just made the move to Coleraine now but it does make you wonder.
Some folk are quick to turn their noses up at the Welsh league or the Irish Premiership, but goals are goals and if they’ve got the attitude and fitness to step up, why not take a punt?
Especially given the market we’re in, we’re not going to be spending six figures. A proven finisher like McManus at the right age and price is exactly the type we should be targeting. That level’s no walk in the park either physical, tight games, similar in ways to what we face week to week.
It’s the sort of deal smart clubs make. Let other teams be snobby about it – if they’re scoring goals and fit the system, bring them in.
Yeah I’d agree with that. I’d actually take McManus back in a heartbeat. There will likely be a good few gems in those leagues, such as Kearney. Though I’ve obviously only seen highlights and a short cameo vs hearts, I’ve got a really good feeling about him. A similar type of player on the left would be perfect!

With Kearney arriving thats RWB done with KRH as back up- the midfield sorted ( Lennon says so) - Otoo as LWB ( lennon says so) and I assume Ngwenway as back up ... I think we can expect:
1st team keeper ( strong pedigree) plus a back up
1 striker of note
Seasoned CH as its a young defence
and we are done
If still here Fisher and we get a CH then out on loan
Sutherlands out on loan
Andrew Tod on loan with a view to January being game fit

Not sure I would take McManus back, worked his socks off but was never prolific and took the wrong option loads with us. Looking at his record in the Scottish championship he has 28 goals in 160 games so it’s a level he’s hardly excelled at.
Ripped the Welsh league up though, to me that suggests the league is poorer rather than him improving. It’s maybe more the equivalent of league 1 level.
Coventry who’s creating our goals and chances from the centre of the park this season? Gilmour, Oakley and amade are more defensive. Lennon tried to get Easton, he knows he need quality in there to unlock defences.

in the official site version:
"A goalkeeper remains a priority, with Neil confirming: “There’s a list of options. Again, we’ll take our time. We’ve already inquired about a number of goalkeepers that haven’t worked out, but we’ve still got plenty of options that we’re looking at at the minute.”
add in the part in the Press:
The club are, though, looking at a range of targets, with their on-trial goalkeeper, who Press Sport understands is from Bournemouth, featuring in a bounce game with Rangers on Tuesday.
"He`s still here," Lennon said."He was here late last week. He played in the bounce game on Tuesday and he`s still here at the minute, so, we`re still looking.
"But, in terms of the number one spot, if you want to call it that, we`re still looking at the minute."
dont think it would be McKenna either but would they need to look at Dennis on trial with the amount he played at Killie? Paulsen was on the bench v Hibs the other day so its not him, that last line about the number one spot plus he said he wanted two keepers makes me think its one of the other young keepers, Allan played for their youth side last weekend which would leave Kai Crampton.

Looking at the full list of Championship signings and departures so far on the BBC website https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ce3vdx0x76no)I would say:
- the Raith, Partick and Queens Park squads look less promising so far than last season, with some influential players not yet replaced like-for-like.
- Airdrie and Morton look broadly similar to last season.
- Arbroath, Ayr and Ross County seem better equipped for a successful Championship campaign with some proven quality new recruits.
- Pars and St Johnstone have both had big clearouts of underperforming players but the promising (on paper) new signings are largely untried at this level.
Looking at the bookies’ odds, Pars as second or third favourites at approx 4/1 still looks a little optimistic compared to, say, Morton(who finished above us)’s 50/1, but there are still two weeks until the season starts and over a month before the transfer deadline…

We’re generally keeping our transfer business close to our chests, and I like this. We can only assume we were in for Easton, due to the rumours and then the Raith contract extension statement, but that aside, move seem to be leaked a day or two before the signing.

To be honest I’ve seen to many different sources saying too many different things. 2/3/4/5 players with “experience”.
Looking at what he’s added and who’s still left in the squad I’d be looking to add A GK and a winger.
Then I’d be looking at a CD and a striker or a midfielder.
I don’t think we’ll see loads of new faces in between now and the end of the window. The with experience statement is actually quite open ended. It could be 22yr old who’s got some 1st team experience or it could be someone dropping down from the premier trying who wants to play rather than sit on a bench for the majority of a season. Could also be someone who’s been playing league 1/2 down south or perhaps in a league elsewhere we don’t know about - another Amade 🤷🏻♂️

You would think with some decent crosses whipped into him from Kearney he could do some damage. Probably a better option up front than anything we had yesterday. Mind you, I`ve been saying he could do some damage for years and it`s not happened so far. Lennon obviously doesn`t fancy him anyway

We should forget about Kane being our main striker. We`ll be lucky to get 20 games out his calfs.
Can`t believe we`re in the crazy position that we`ve to pray to the high heavens every Saturday, for Kane to be injury free for the next game.
What a ludicrous situation we`re STILL in for him to be our No1 striker.

His present injury has nothing to do with his calves. He was kicked on the knee in Tuesday`s game. The physical nature of his game makes it inevitable he will suffer the normal knocks and bruises a striker tends to attract.

You can see Kane’s quality when he plays. It’s night and day compared to when he’s not there, and I think that’s exactly why St Johnstone let him go.
The problem is, his constant absence really hampers us. That said, players who score the kind of goals he does are what every team is crying out for. Just frustrating we can’t rely on him to be available more often.

Stop fluffing it Eck. Doesn`t matter what his injury is this time. These normal knocks and bruises keeps him out for 2/3 weeks at a time. Fact of the matter is, he is injury prone. Some players are, some aren`t. He is and we can`t afford to have him as number 1 striker mate...surely you have to agree 🤷♂️

I don`t think there`s much argument against what Kane brings to the team and i do think he`s a victim of his own getting stuck in, however, plastic pitch, he`s abscent, games you look at and think "we`re gonna have to score here", often abscent, it just gets frustrating.

There is an answer here…….
Kane has the experience but is injury prone.
We have several youngsters who can play a 9 but don’t have the experience.
Change Kanes role to Player/striker coach.
He can pass his experience on to the youngsters whilst taking the pressure of himself to remain fit all season. Everyone wins surely?

I would hope he`s passing on his advice at the moment anyway. I saw him having a chat with Lucas Fyfe at half-time at Dumbarton last week as well as encouraging him during the game.
If he didn`t have any injury issues he`d probably still be playing in the Premiership. We just have to make the most of him while he`s with us.

Yes we need another striker who is good at holding the ball up and can mix it with the physical nature of most centre backs in this league. We don`t have another player except Kane that can do this. Connor Young and the Sutherlands are only other centre forwards. Young is trying to add this to his game, the Sutherlands are quite there yet to have an impact in the Championship. Young is more of a run in behind, run the channels forward anyway - something Kane isn`t.
Tod, Cooper and McLeod (I think) are all attacking midfielders, at the moment they are doing a decent job, there is some flexibility with the formation as one of the forwards can swap with whoever is playing deeper from time to time. You can even play two behind a central striker. However, I don`t think it will be enough to score the number of goals we need to be competitive at the top end of the Championship. Hope it is worth the wait, in fairness, the signings all looked to have added something so far.

If its true he only played 7 full 90 mins last season, then thats under 20% of the games we played in league. Thats where the issue lies.
Its great that he is a good scorer and high work rate, but not making more than 20% in full 90 mins is a worry.
Also, looking more in depth, he only scored in 7 of his games last year as well - including 1 hat trick and 2 braces. 1 goal in 6 cup matches as well.

I`m sure Data Analysis could be used to find a striker with a negligible injury record, who invariably plays for 90 minutes and scores at regular intervals rather than in clusters. If he`s not already under contract to a club playing at a higher level and paying higher wages, that would be ideal.

Shaw might have no interest in coming here if he wants to leave Hamilton but its too much of an obvious one not to ask the question at least.
if you got him, maybe the other striker could do a similar job to Kane if required. Lennon talks about having a look this week, might have to look even further far and wide to even get one forward in at this rate.

You`re a hard, hard taskmaster, Berkey. I don`t know how many appearances Jakubiak made for the Pars, but it`s hard to argue with your brutal analysis. He was outstanding in the game v Dundee United that you alluded to and he scored 2 goals at Somerset, although I wasn`t at that game.
My thinking is that if a player can demonstrate that kind of ability in 1 or 2 games a good manager should be able to use him in such a way as to maximise these performances. The only way that wouldn`t be achieved would be if the player was bone idle. There can`t be that many footballers who don`t want to do their best to win games once they`re out on the pitch.

He certainly isn`t a prolific goalscorer. His career average is 1 goal every 6 games although he did manage 1 every 3 games at Dundee. His main assets are the strength to hold the ball up and a decent turn of space.
He never seems in any hurry to get signed up. It was right at the end of the summer window in 2023 that he signed for us and last season he didn`t sign for PT until February. Maybe football isn`t his sole source of income.

Motherwell’s Kofi Balmer has a number of growing options in Scotland and England.
It remains to be seen if the Steelmen will listen to offers for the big defender.
An English League Two side is keen and he also has a number of Scottish Championship offers.
It will all come down to whether boss Jens Berthel Askou is prepared to sanction a move.
The Northern Irishman is also keen to play regular first-team football and that could also come into the equation. (daily record)

Welsh is going to have to leave for the good of his career, I would have thought. He’s 25 now, nowhere near a First Team regular or an internationalist. He’s in danger of wasting his career.

Ben McPherson has joined Partick Thistle on a season loan.
He makes the short move from Celtic for the campaign ahead - as reported by Record Sport over the weekend.
The right-back, 21, has Championship experience from a previous spell on loan at Queen`s Park and he earned minutes during pre-season for the Hoops this summer against the likes of Cork City, Sporting and Newcastle United.

considering they sold their #1 striker in Jan and still not replaced him a week into August (when the striker they sold has already moved clubs again since leaving them) not sure how long these things do take/should take.

Agreed but you can compare the SPL to League 1/championship and he struggled to get in to Birmingham`s side last season. For what it`s worth, he shouldn`t be anywhere near the Scotland team imo

"Speaking this afternoon ahead of the Diamonds clash, Lennon said that he is also looking to add another defensive option, but was hopeful he might have another forward signed up before Saturday.

"So, we`ll see, and maybe one other player as well.
"We`re in talks with a number of players in positions that we want to strengthen."
When asked if attack and defence were the areas he was looking at, Lennon replied: "Yeah, at the minute, yeah, and then we`ll just do a little bit more surgery on it, in terms of adding to it and maybe getting a few more out on loan.“

Ross County Football Club are delighted to have secured the signature of Alex Iacovitti, who returns to the club on a one-year deal!
Alex was previously at the club, first signing in 2020. The defender spent three seasons in Dingwall and was part of the side that finished in the top six in 2021/2022. Iacovitti then moved south to Port Vale, before returning north of the border to sign with St Mirren. Having already made over 100 appearances for the Staggies, Alex is no stranger to the club and the area, and is a welcome addition to our Championship squad.
Manager Don Cowie commented: “We are absolutely delighted to have brought Alex back to the football club. Having spent three years here in the Premiership, he brings a knowledge of the club and area, as well as a vast amount of playing experience. Alex played an integral part of a top-six finish here while I was the assistant manager, and I’m hoping he can contribute to more success for us.”

We can cross James Scott off our list of potential strikers -
James Scott has moved to Ross County on loan.
The St Mirren striker heads to Dingwall for the season.
He will wear the No 44 shirt for the Staggies.
Boss Don Cowie said: “I’m delighted that James has made the move to us. We believe he is a fantastic addition to the group.
“After making contact with St Mirren, it was clear to see how motivated and eager James was to move North.
“With the attributes he possesses, he adds real versatility to our frontline.”

Not sure that I do feel this Berkey, I do think the squad is in danger of being bloated and that some need moved on, I also feel there’s a huge drop in quality in the squad, but I’m not sure that the wage budget is almost maxed out mate
Huge drop in quality? I genuinely can`t see how anyone can come to that conclusion
Quality has improved in certain areas Biggles, but in others just as weak as before. 1 striker to start league season is like last years goalie debacle 😂 we also could be sacking 2 centre halves before the close of the window…..

Having followed football for so many years I`m surprised so many fans seem to think that running a club and managing a squad is some sort of exact science in which every contingency and circumstance should be anticipated and provided for. There are so many variables at play which are beyond the control of a club such as ours that make a nonsense of such an idea.

Current squad is a definite upgrade but we 100% need extra forward players. I`m a massive fan of Andrew Tod (and John too) but we can`t rely solely on him, Young and Cooper. Young is our only fit out and out striker. The rest are injured or out on loan. If we`re getting nowhere, I`d hope we`ve at least enquired about Oli Shaw.

I’m not going to name players, because I’m not that guy…but if you look through the squad and if we get injuries, are the replacements necessarily better?? I don’t think so, and in some areas of the park, I think there’s a significant drop in quality.

The replacements are better than last years options. We may be shorter on numbers but quality? I don`t think so.

I agree that some areas may be as weak as before but that isn`t a "huge drop in quality" as was claimed.
Granted the striker situation isn`t ideal however we have two strikers at the club, Kane and Young. We`ve loaned out Sutherland whom is also a striker because we know there are signings coming and the young guys need regular games for their development. A Tod and Cooper have filled in just fine in the interim.
I have no idea on the current legal proceeding timescales to know whether or not there will be a conclusion before the end of the transfer window or not. Fisher is far down the pecking order that losing him or not isn`t going to have any meaningful effect on the first team selection

I kind of get what’s being said here, the Tod brothers were no where near the team last year and are now getting a game, Lennon didn’t see much of cooper last season to start him but now he’s getting a game.
Have these guys massively improved over the summer or are they now starters as they are the best we have?
The squad is only better than last year IF the potential we have signed so far this summer is realised (plus obv gilmour a massive upgrade) and we of course add 2-3 quality players.
Looking forward to today’s game and seeing more of the new guys, hopefully we look more dangerous in attack this season.

So there’s no drop in quality between Kane and A.Tod?? There’s no drop of quality from Otoo and Ngwema??? There’s no drop in quality between JCM and Fisher?? There’s no drop in quality in Gilmour and Hamilton??
I’m not sure if i’ve been picked up wrongly here. I think there’s additions to the squad have been of a really good standard but the drop in quality in the squad is there for all to see.

Barring a few loans (and someone ive probably missed), that`s the squad changes that have happened between last year and this year.
I can`t be alone in my thoughts that this years squad has actually improved and not been significantly lowered in quality - as originally suggested. There isn`t one of the released players from last years squad I would have over this year`s squad players.

We do, however, still need to add more quality to the team.

Not convinced Coventry, we need a creative midfielder too, cooper seems okay but too often chooses the wrong option or the execution not quite there and it’s such a key role.
Agree on the others, a CB and at least 1 striker a must along with the art midfielder.

From the Record -
`St Johnstone have knocked back an offer from Peterborough United for Mackenzie Kirk. The Championship leaders have turned down a bid from the English League One side. It remains to be seen if the Posh come back in for the Northern Ireland under-21 cap.
Saints have already knocked back offers from English rivals Bristol Rovers and another from a Scottish Premiership side this summer. Championship rivals Dunfermline have also held discussions with Saints over a possible move.
Kirk netted an impressive 11 goals in a team that got relegated from the Premiership. The Perth side is under no pressure to sell and will only cash-in, if the price is right. The youngster was signed from Hearts last year.`
Too much competition for this one to be successful I fear.

"Adam Forrester joins St Johnstone from Hearts after the clubs confirmed a Cooperation agreement."
right back at Hearts is injured so Forrester might go back immediately, if it happens what do StJohnstone do, sign a different right back or wait until Forrester can go back even if its months away? thats one problem with the "cooperation agreement"
on Kirk, they will sell to highest bidder but that is very unlikely to be us.
"We have a creative midfielder - Amade."....wouldnt class him as creative at all, and the point i think being made is about the number 10 role in this system which if 2 strikers come in you could have at least 5 options already here, if someone else comes in in that position then players will have to go.

Am I correct in thinking that the number 9 shirt is available? I can`t wait to see who wears it. 2 weeks without a game so hopefully it`ll be filled by then, followed by a debut hatrick against the lino lickers.
Ps I`d say Amade has creative qualities in him. You`re entitled to your opinion though.

Gilmour is an upgrade on Joe Chalmers
Comrie wouldn’t have fit into these kind of tactics and actually KRH playing well and Kearney looks a good signing
Oakley-Boothe looking much better this season and Amade from what little I’ve seen, looks like he could be a great signing.
J Tod/Mullen IMHO looks so much further ahead than Fisher/Breen.
Otoo settling really well at LWB. Couple of weeks positional things but nothing that can’t be addressed.
Munn looks a fantastic GK. much better “shot stopper” than Mehmet. Confident coming off his line. His distribution needs work but his core skills in terms of shot stopping etc look solid. He’s almost an opposite to Tobi who started off with excellent distribution and the rest of his game had to progress during the season. I don’t see anything to worry about here tbh.
The bench looks stronger as well 🤷🏻♂️
The only place I think we need to improve the starting 11 is a striker and possibly another attacking midfielder.
For depth I’d like another CB LWB (if Ngwenya isn’t going to be it)
I genuinely am struggling to see a drop in quality. I wouldn’t bet on us winning the league but I’d bet on us taking more points than last season before we add any more to the squad.
