Keep an eye on events in Ingerlund with respect to Ryan Fraser.
We get a healthy chunk of wedge if young Ryan moves from Bournemouth.

Don't know about January but by summer we'll be looking to replace Considine (hopefully), O'Connor, Arnason (I imagine), Stewart, Ball, McLean, Christie, Storie & Maynard at least.
Even in the poundlands & Charity shops we buy from we should be able to upgrade most of them I'd hope.
Aye, we could be looking at a major overhaul
8 of the 9 above are regularly in the squad of 18 and 5 or 6 of them in the starting X1
A major overhaul may not necessarily be a bad thing, however, given DM's mixed record in the transfer market, it could be a complete disaster.
Look at how we've regressed this season.
(The biggest downgrade being the replacements for McGinn & Hayes)
If O'Connor & McLean refuse to re-sign, then we should look to sell for money in January.
Hopefully a couple of decent signings are made in January to help for the rest of the season.
On current form, we'll be lucky to finish in the automatic Euro spots of top 3.
Not sure if its going to be as much as that.
No chance Considine is going anywhere he is here to stay,I would say there is a good chance O'Connor will sign a new deal and Arnason might stay on for another season.
Ball,Storie and Maynard will be off but wont be hard to replace, Stewart has looked ok the last few games but we can do better.
Christie will be hard to replace and depending on who you talk to McLean wont be.
So really from that list we will only need to replace two first team players and 3 or 4 bench warmers.
My point was this should be an opportunity to improve and have a squad of 2 players per position we can actually use instead of having bodies in to make up numbers. Ideally we would have 3 or 4 ready replacements in our youth team and could offer better wages to those we had to bring in.
