Lindsay - as Paudolski said, way out of our reach and is he that good? Certainly not £750k worth of good
Devlin - out long term and is no better than Ash Taylor IMO
My tuppence worth?
Largely depends on who goes does it not?
It could be a clusterf*ck of a summer if McInnes goes
He could potentially take any/some of Lewis, Shinnie, Hayes, McLean
Let's assume that it's "just" Jonny that goes and we get £1m
I'd look to try and get;
- Centre half - no idea who, I'm not a scout, but neither of the above - likely it'll be a lower league player from England
- Ryan Christie (on the assumption we receive a fee for Jonny)
- a winger - not sure - GMS has been linked and if we got the "Dundee Utd" GMS then that wouldn't be bad. Greg Stewart on loan with a view to signing?
- a centre forward - off load Storey and replace him
- possibly another centre mid but depends on what budget is left as we have Tansey, Shinnie, McLean & O'Connor that can play there
- ideally I'd like two centre halves but very unlikely
to be honest, we can't really plan anything until we know the managerial situation, which is a ballache
