As much as he’s been a great player for us this season, I just don’t see it happening.
However, he does seem to fit the profile of player that the owners seem to be looking at. I just don’t think Grangemouth would let it go through-especially after all their Social Media posts in the last few days.

Barney will surely be staying at Falkirk. He’s an U-21 international and is improving all the time - I’m not sure he’s good enough to play in the Premiership yet but could see him being given a chance from the bench, especially while MacIver and Oliver are injured. Plus there are rumours Oliver might be leaving.
I do think we could go back for him eventually though, maybe in summer as he does fit the profile of player the club are looking for and I think he’s shown he is capable at our level.

Barney may or may not be a premiership player, we may see in the not so distant future, at the end of the day it is the top of Scottish football, and is the aim of every young footballer to play at the top of their profession, if he ends up warming the bench, does all his and our hard work become undone.
He seems a bright bubbly guy with hopefully a lot of common sense to come with it.
We have big goals at KDM group east end park, with aspirations of re joining the top flight either this or next season, if we make an offer that is accepted by Falkirk, he accepts, as long as he keeps his form up he is a starter for me, and hopefully he can keep playing and help us get promoted.
These young players will gain valuable experience starting and playing in this league along with the coaching and guidance from a very experienced manager and coaching staff, can anyone young or even more experienced ask for more.
He needs to keep playing and gaining the experience he needs to play in the top flight, and no better place to do it is with us, hopefully he doesn`t go back to cover injuries then end up warming the bench.
I am sure we have made an offer, if not we will. I just hope he accepts it when the offer comes in. If not good luck to the boy.

No hint in NL`s preview of the Ross Co match that we`re about to sign a striker. He`s hoping Chris Kane will be available. There is mention elsewhere that we`re looking to sign another CB though, despite Ngwenya`s emergence in that position and his satisfaction with his contribution. John Tod being out for 6-10 weeks may have triggered the need for further cover.

I`m not surprised he`s going for another CB. Tod injury fairly long term, Otoo looks way out of sorts and can`t be trusted there and I think we might see Fisher see out the remainder of his contract elsewhere.
He has spoken about the striker position being strengthened previously and now we have lost Barney, Kane also continues to struggle for fitness. I have no doubt we will bring a new striker in.
If this mystery striker has been hanging about for a few months, then I`m sure a bit more info would been picked up on him by now. Seems very little known for something that`s been in the pipelines for months. I think it may well be nonsense.

We might have an issue with JCM who we can assume the club would have been trying to tie down for longer than the years contract he signed in the summer. If he signs a "Pre" with someone else then there`s a scenario that Lennon being highly principled lets him go or doesn`t play him.

There has been reports, I think from IB, that we were looking at the possibility of strengthening the forward areas….was the quote that I remember.
I think strengthening CB is a must, for a team that predominantly play 3 at the back, then we are short in quality there when injuries kick in. Ngwema has been excellent in the last 2 games…but surely the question remains, can he sustain it? I think Otoo has looked well off it and canny be relied on as a long term option, and quite simply isn’t a CB. Have the likes of Fisher done enough….you have to suspect not for a LB like Ngwema to jump ahead of him in the pecking order.

We have to be after a striker with losing Barney. Would be utter madness if that wasn’t a priority.
A centre half and a centre mid in the Gilmour mould would also be favourable Id say.
I don’t get the belief that Lennon would be at odds about what to do with JCM if he did sign a pre contract elsewhere. The guys not going to down tools the minute the deal is penned. He still has a lot to prove to reach his full potential.

Kane can`t be trusted to last any sort of time, that has been obvious since he got here. The worry we have is Barney leaving only leaves us with Andy Tod as a goal threat. After him it`s Rudden with 2 goals. We know about Rudden and the injury, but nobody really steps up if Andy Tod hits a dry patch.

You have to realise Barney was only signed as a cover for Zak who was injured.
Zak is back fully fit so we don’t need a replacement.

I’d still like another creative forward/winger type player, I know it’s their first season at this level but McLeod and Jefferson have struggled a bit to make an impact and it takes the pressure off them as at the moment 1 has to play.
We almost brought in that striker from Italy and we already had rudden by then so we’ll defo have a striker as top priority. Can’t expect andy Tod to play every game and be able to make an impact.
I have faith we’ll do some decent business, lots of lessons learned from last Jan anyway!

Sadly Otoo hasn`t worked out this season, he was a standout when he joined, but I think our past huge injury list and Ewan having to fill in multiple positions has worked against him, not really making any his own, I`ve said before he owes us nothing, and possibly a move might be in his own interests -a pity, this is a player I liked a lot
Fisher looked great, but then went really off the boil, it`s not happening here I think.Surely better to cut, and he can find his level and build his career/life.
Bray has struggled to make this level, I think he`s on a longer contract? If that the case a loan would be good, he needs games.
MacLeod I think isn`t far off, NL will know better what do there- he`s looked really good, then nothing, I guess that`s not unusual for younger guys.

MacLeod is a solid player, and I don’t think he’s been much worse than what Cáceres has offered so far. My concern with Cáceres is that he may have bought into the early hype and feels he’s too good for this level. Unfortunately, his performances haven’t shown any real evidence that he’s above it.
MacLeod is still young and has a lot to learn, but his attitude seems good. Hopefully we can see him kick on if called upon.

I dont think caceres has bought into the hype, i just think hes having trouble adjusting, and i feel sympathy, when i had a new job in greece for a year, i really struggled so i do sympathize with him, if it doesnt work out so be it, but its clear theres a really good player in there

I’m sure caceres will be better when the pitches improve in the spring. Wee eck the assist at st Johnstone is the only highlight in 4 months. Give me one other example where he’s impacted a game in any way (don’t say thistle!). There’s absolutely a player there but this season is an acclimatising one so we’ve brought him in to play very little in a physical league so it’s just not going to work.
McLeod should prob be on loan in league 1 this season with a view to next season but the way the squad is balanced he’s ended up playing a lot more games than I’m guessing was planned.

`Wee eck the assist at st Johnstone is the only highlight in 4 months. Give me one other example where he’s impacted a game in any way (don’t say thistle!).`
There`s more to `assists` than making the final pass to the goalscorer, although those who are obsessed with statistics might think otherwise. I remember Caceres being involved in early build-ups which led to goals in the big wins at Arbroath and Airdrie and he did in fact make the final pass for Tod`s opening goal at Gayfield. I`ve always suspected we were `bounced` into taking him from Sheffield United to free up a loan slot for a defensive player they wanted but I do think NL rates him. it`s just a case of finding the right role for him. He`s by far the best passer of a ball in the squad.
I also think you can develop some young players by playing them in the first team if you get the balance of the team right. The only way they`ll get better is by playing with and against better players and they won`t necessarily get that in League 1.

I’ve said before that I am disappointed with Caceres. I don’t think his performances have been anything to write home about and are definitely not of the level that would interest a club like Sheff United originally.
That aside, for me, the highlight of his season so far was his performance against Arbroath earlier in the season. He was highly influential that day and was involved in much of the good work going forward, especially in the First Half. I thought that was him clicking and he would go from strength to strength from there, but it’s not happened yet.
Still, the lad has time.

We have a few young players in the attacking mid role & not much between them so far. I think Lennon`s rotating them to keep them hungry & to see if one will claim the spot as their own.
I don`t think we`ll loan any out unless we get an attacking mid in that will be a guaranteed starter.
Then again I didn`t imagine Connor Young would get loaned out...
Fisher seems the obvious one to move on, he`s hardly had a kick & hasn`t looked great when he has got on the pitch.
Being honest, Otto is completely out of favour now, last resort at CM (1 game there this season?) and behind even Ngwenya now for a CB spot.
A striker is the priority, I`d like an experienced box-to-box mid too, I think we`d be in trouble if Gilmour was to pick up an injury

Ah how the tide has turned.

Wouldn’t mind a loan for Andy Halliday to the end of the season. As mentioned above there is a bit of a gap if Gilmour was to get injured/lose form and would add good experience to the squad. Halliday was one of Wells better players last season but is out of sorts with the new manager.

Maybe the `Well manager isn`t keen on him recording podcasts about how much he loves Rangers every other week.

In his interview, Jefferson stated that NL felt he needed to adjust to the physical aspects of the Championship. He needs to build himself physically for that. It will take a bit of time, but if he can do that he will be a real threat at this level. I think also the style of play is different. There have been a number of occasions where he has been in good positions but not given the ball. He has good vision and if players are in good positions he will give them the ball. It`s just that adjustment that he needs to make in terms of style of play and physicality. He has all the other attributes

If he’s struggling physically at our level, then the English championship is going to be beyond him.

To be honest, it doesn’t sit comfortably with me, current players talking about teams they support in that way, or plastering it across their social media. So it surely can’t sit well with some/most managers.

"I`ve always suspected we were `bounced` into taking him from Sheffield United to free up a loan slot for a defensive player they wanted"
https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united/sheffield-uniteds-january-reset-gathers-pace-as-decisions-made-on-quartets-future-after-disastrous-chapter-5461491
"Former Chelsea man Alex Matos will be allowed to leave Sheffield United in this transfer window if the Blades receive a suitable offer, The Star understands, while all of the signings made in United’s disastrous AI experiment have also been made available to depart Bramall Lane. Matos only signed in the summer in a permanent deal from Chelsea."
"The AI experiment signings who remain at Bramall Lane - Bulgarian right back Mihail Polendakov, winger Christian Nwachukwu and fellow Nigerian forward Ehije Ukaki - are also free to leave after failing to justify their arrivals as part of the disastrous transfer policy effectively overseen by self-styled data guru James Bord."

I think as NL has said its a mix of AI and good old fashioned management to identify players who may fit the team, bring them in, and improve them. Anyone who uses AI or other software, for that matter, should always understand its limitations on use and check the results. All software, no matter AI or other, is developed by human beings, therefore subject to human frailties. Despite the hype, I don`t see it replacing many jobs, other than repetitive tasks like certain admin. It can not and should not be a direct replacement for human decision-making, merely an aid to it.

Polendakov is only 18 years old. Christian Nwachukwu is 20 years old, and Ehije Ukaki is 21 years old. These are obviously players still in development.

Exactly this. If AI was perfect then there would be no need for scouts. It`s no different to Football Manager where you can see all the ratings for a player. Just because it shows they`re can hit a ball in a net doesn`t mean they`ll be a top goalscorer in your team.

From the chat I heard from Legends when he was over, James Bord seems to recognise that we are lacking experience right now.
The fact he can see that gives me confidence in what we are doing.
