Yup!

It would be funny to have May and Christie in the same team - two players we hated originally.

May and Rooney could be an interesting pairing up front.

I dare say a formation adjustment is on the cards. Replacing both McGinn and Hayes with players that can consistently provide assists for a lone striker is obviously tricky. They don't grow on trees. And we've seen how toothless Rooney, who has been great for us, becomes when he's isolated from service. A foil up front in a pairing with Maloney and Christie tucked in sounds very interesting. I think May is a quality player and would be very welcome here.

Don't think we ever hated May to be honest. The chant was banter as he was built up as St J's big threat before the LC semi. Fair came back to bite us at Ibrox.

He'd be welcomed here with both arms wide open as far as I'm concerned.

same here. may and maloney would be very welcome. bring it on 😀

Followed up quickly with Stewart and Lindsay - would certainly allow a bit of patience for the centre midfield and left-back.

Aye, it was. will confuse the feck out of opposition crowds when we start chanting that same ditty "in support" of him !

I don't think we'll sign another centre midfielder or a left back
DM likes Considine at LB, and prefers Shinnie in centre midfield getting in the face of the opposition
We have Tansey, Shinnie, McLean & O'Connor that can play in the "2" of a 4-2-3-1 if DM sticks with that formation.

I think we'll sign;

- a striker and offload Storey
- a centre half (personally I'd try for 2, but unlikely)
- 2 wide players (whether DM will regard the likes of Maloney as a wide player who knows)
We definitely need one out and out winger such as a Greg Stewart.

IF, and I stress if we're prepared to pay £400k, or maybe more likely a compromise of £350k for May, would you rather;

- Pay £350k to£400k for a player with knees that are extremely suspect, or;
- Pay a wee bit more (£500k) for Liam Boyce or Louis Moult?

Depends how much we want him doesn`t it ?

Probably offer the £250k , wth further payments if he plays a buch of games for us.


On the other side of it, maybe they are happy with the £250k as a selling price, but are asking for the further £150k to settle up his contract ?
If so, he could write that off IF he wants to come here badly enough.

All these figures flying around. Tip of the Iceberg !!

Rico I thought you were going away to burst into a Weather Girls song

And that various sources would all be from social media
Thankful DM and TD are back to work today we might actually start to see some movement in the next few days and then will find out what rumors (if any) actually come to fruition. Hoping the rumors of Maloney and May are proved to be correct, and also Lindsay. Not fussed one way or the other on Greg Stewart and dont know anything about the Belgian lad from Boro.

In Deek we trust
