Transfer Window

[DonUnder]

Taking a 6ft 8" Nigerian keeper on trial this week.

19 years old Nathaniel Nwosu, currently plays for Tayport, in the Lowland league.

19!

So he's younger than some of the wee fuds in black?

I know who my money would be on!

Apparently not on trial.

Story made up by his agent.

Ah. Under duress perhaps?

Watched Milanovic at the weekend. Difficult to judge given the standard but direct, positive and doesn't mind a shot at goal. Bit of coaching and I think he'll do OK.

I am looking forward to the summer transfer window. Huge amount of changes needed again.
Some amount of players needing moved on as well.
Interesting times ahead

Ross Doohan linked with a move to Celtic.

Surprising, but can surely only be sd their back up keeper.

I wouldn?t be against the move.

We are needing a host of changes for next season so let?s start with moving the goalkeepers on.

To be fair to Doohan he has not done anything wrong any time he has been called upon when Mitov has been injured, personally don't think there there is much between them as far as being first choice for us.
Should we be looking for a better class of keeper? 100% yes, are we able to bring anyone in that is better than what we have then I am not so sure. If wages is an issue then I would be looking to offload / replace Mitov and keeping Doohan, but that is only me and my opinion but hey ho wtf do I know

In JT we trust

We should always be looking to take in better players, but Keepers are always a difficult one.

There are better keepers than both Mitov and Doohan, but I doubt we will be signing much better, unless we fluke signing another in the mould of Joe Lewis.

Agree mate.
But for me there is not much difference atween Mitov and Doohan, always kinda feel a bit sorry for Doohan when he get's benched just because Mitov is fit again. The lad has not done anything wrong when called upon

Joe Lewis was okay for one season?rotten the rest of his spell.
Jim Leighton/Theo Snelders were good goalkeepers (I am a bit too young to remember Bobby Clark) and no one else comes close. These are the types of goalkeeper we need to unearth if we want to win things. Mitov and Doohan are too easily beaten (as was Lewis).

I remember the good old days when Jim Leighton?s dad was discussing that is was genuinely 50/50 between him going to Manchester United or staying with us. How football has changed (for the worse)

I'm nae a week in week out fan these days, but from what I've seen Mitov is miles ahead of Doohan.
You're looking for mair from your keeper than nae doing anything wrong.

Milanovic pre contract signed.
Three year deal with the option of a fourth.
I know absolutely the square root of fk all about the lad, but welcome to the club min and it says a lot about your balls if you watched our last two games and did not change your mind.
Surely that means the end of Okkels

I was told last week (think I posted it on here) that this was a done deal signed and sealed, so that info proved to be correct.

I was also told at the same time 3 other signings are agreed but cant be announced until the end of the season - I am assuming under contract players maybe - so hopefully that is also true and is also only the start of the summer recruitment.

Bottom line - just further confirms Thelin is going nowhere, for now at least.

A few rumours going around to support this.

Do we think Thelin identifies or has a say in these players or are they foisted upon him?

If the plan is for the club to sign players and then work under Thelin, then his job isnt safe. Different story if we are signing players he wants
