Transfer Window

[Shetland Don]

Not any real surprises in that list and doubt we will see any of the loans back, but who knows.

I'd be tempted to take a punt of Dabbagh. More of a poacher/finisher than the type needed for Thelinball, but just something about the loon I like.

I don't really follow the youth team, but was Blair McKenzie not highly regarded at one point? Think injuries hampered his progress.

I also read today that the Plymouth manager has asked to leave to join Schalke. Not an ideal scenario for Jack.

Dabbagh, on the limited appearances he?s made, appears to be capable of taking chances and his Cup Final penalty was excellent, though I?m not sure that he brings much else to the table. I really think we need a good strong presence up front to hold the ball up, something we really missed on Saturday in the first half till PG came on and made a tangible difference, along with Morris and his pace on the right. PG has a few flicks and tricks to his game but he?s never going to beat defenders with powerful runs and dribbling skills as he doesn?t possess such qualities. Keskinen and Nisbet weren?t able to hold the ball up and we immediately lost possession every time the ball went into their half. Mark McGee, though not the tallest, performed that role really well back in the day. Ambrose is another alternative option but he looks to be overweight and I think he?s one of our poorest ever signings, unfortunately. I think overall that the squad requires most attention in forward areas, especially with Nisbet and Dabbagh departing.

Its been mentioned elsewhere about the possibility of bringing in Ronan Hale from Ross County.

Maybe not a bad shout considering he got 18 goals in 42 games for a relegated side.
