Would be pretty disappointing if they firm interest in Docherty as well as pretty inevitable McLean sign-on. Pretty sure we could land long-term replacement with a re-sale value by offering similar fee to letting McLean get to Huns now, maybe with percentage sell-on if Accies play hardball. Can see Docherty and Shinnie working well as early signs are the youngster could follow path to English top-tier at the current rate of progression.
Try and land Henderson on a pre-contract, tie up Arnie on a 1yr extension and no major surgery required in summer, just the longer term centre half/left-back issues. Bit of stability and forward planning, maybe an increased chance of pressing more of a challenge for europa league spot.
Hope McInnes is convincing Stewartie of the sense in acting now, chances of not being out of pocket and being ready to go for June, with the major part having had a decent chance to settle in whilst McLean vies with Jackie for who is the bigger fanny.
