4 new faces at least

Indeed, different players are more effective at differing clubs.

I'm not yet ready to discount Storey as I think there can be a very good player in him
Hayes was not great in his first year and hoping Storey goes on to make the impact Hayes did in his subsequent years.

From what I've seen of Storey, I'd be staggered if he makes an impact.
Headless chicken with no touch and no game intelligence at all.
As for his finishing, least said the better.
He's a Killie player at best. ICT was his level.
We need to admit our mistake and let him go - which I think will happen when we sign a new striker.

Storey not really had much of a chance in the first team. However, presumably hasn't impressed at all in training and will probably be shipped out.

Real sickener with May. Think we were on verge of a deal before Grayson went to Sunderland. I think Neil will want to keep him. His stats at Hamilton were pretty impressive when he was there on loan and I don't think Preston have a huge amount of money for marquee signings compared to some of the bigger Championship sides.

It sounds like our plans A, B and C have went wonky after (in no particular order) Boyce, May and Maloney for different reasons are looking unlikely at least in the short term.

Hopefully McInnes has a plan D (or E).

Hopefully, the idea of banking solely on signing two talented but clearly injury prone players as replacements for McGinn and Hayes seems a wee bit hair-brained.

If you look at the team and our likely starting team, we have already replaced them with Stewart and Christie.

May would be competing with Rooney.

Maloney I'm not sure, just great experience to bring in as we replace older players with younger ones

It's not yet a foregone conclusion.
Preston I recall have just signed two strikers, so he may still be surplus to requirements

Absolutely, a tenuous connection between the two from a few years ago has led to doom and gloom with no foundation. Must be a great party at all your houses.
