Transfer Rumour Thread 22/23

[Mr_Brightside]

We are…but Beerschot are trying to recoup most of their transfer fee to us which is a massive stumbling block. He’s top of Neilson’s wish list too since Ellis Simms is signing for a English championship side.

Safranko wants to come back but he’s not a priority for us.

Ross’s priority is Jamie McGrath, we’re in talks with Wigan about buying him or loaning him. He also wants Doidge and Aiden McGeady.

Robbie McRorie is now our preferred GK signing, Zander Clark’s still an option but Utd believe they can get better for the money he’s wanting.

We’re also looking at a list of international players that have left clubs in Russia and Ukraine.

Same source gave me the scoop on Biamou weeks before we were linked with him so I’m inclined to believe them.

Would you rather we had signed players whilst we had all the managerial bollox going on? Players are hard to attract whilst they don't know who they are going to be playing for. I'm relaxed about signings, I'm sure there will be movement soon

That would have been relevant if there had been absolutely no mention of this work going on regardless of who the manager is, or if we have one?

Trying to recoup the transfer fee they haven't yet paid?

TC said we were needing players in a couple of weeks ago, TA has said that we are looking to get some players in, RJ has said that because of the change in manager we are playing catch up with the signings but there is a lot of work going on to get caught up.......I would expect at least a couple of signings in by the end of next week. There is no way that potential signings and requirements weren't discussed by Jack Ross during his contract talks...he will have been given assurances that we will be looking to get certain players in for him to come to the club. There will be a lot of sounding out players before he signed his deal. Players ain't back to training for a wee while yet, so we have a but if time. If there are no signings in by next week, I'll be worried but I think JR will be wanting them in ASAP so he can get working on HIS team straight away! In JR we trust!

I was quite relaxed this time last season too. Its just been an unfortunate last few summers with the managerial merry go round. I'm happy we have Jack Ross in now, but would have been equally happy to have some continuity too. Interesting post above that seems to suggest we have specific targets in mind and McGeady apart I'd be happy with all of them. Sir Lawrence coming back would actually make me erupt with joy!

Are they not back in training tomorrow?

Thanks for some juicy gossip Mr Brightside. Cant see Shanks coming back to us, but i live in hope that it can be done. Safranko keeps popping up and i rank that somewhere beside Nadir coming back to us. While i would love both back, i dont think that will happen if Doidge is a JR target.

Saw that McRorie might be on his way out and wondered how much he has improved since we went up against him in the championship?

Rumours are rumours though and while most dont come true, things like the list can help add to the excitement of the managerial appointment.

[Arabknight]

Really hope safronko is no where near our target list. He did ok for us but from what I can remember his second touch was trying to catch his first. Don’t think he is good enough for us. The same as nadir outstanding for us but done nothing since.

Hope there is some truth In doidge McGrath and microtome. 👍

Not keen on the McGeady chat tbh he's 36 now ffs not exactly building for the future
