According to various sources, Preston have told us to up our offer for May,they want 400k for him.

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

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?

aye, good point. nice options to have though...if they are there! mcinnes seems to have been after may for a good while though

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.

I think I'm right in saying that May has also played a lot of times wide, cutting inside. It could very well be that May is coming in to play wide.

Obviously won't know until all signings are in place and the season starts, but I would be very surprised if we see a wholesale change in formation

Tansey, Christie, Maloney, May (if last 2 come off) would be a great start yo the summer in my view. A dominant center half would be the next key player on my list


Also, McGinn still looking, maybe a chance he will stay?

Must admit I was thinking about the McGinn situation as well, sh1t loads of various rumors flying around about sh1t loads of players and not just associated with the dons, but never one single rumor about McGinn, would love to see him have a "u-turn" and sign back on again, guess to be honest it's highly unlikely to happen but would be great....

I hear Mr Fyvie tried to do a U-turn on turning down his Hibs contract and got told to beat it!

I'm not suggesting that would happen to McGinn, but it would a bit cocky to expect the same deal after turning it down in the hope of greener grass else where.

I would agree with that, but there is also the case of cutting your nose of to spite your face.

If DM feels he has replaced mcginn, then he should have no route back if he did a U turn. But, if DM hasn't (and I don't think we have) and mcginn wanted to come back, then we should welcome him back with open arms. The level of goals and assists that mcginn provides is not easily or cheaply replaced

Sad times when Scottish SPFL clubs can't compete with village pub teams like Burton f*cking Albion on the wages front!

Yup, 500k is small potatoes for teams in the Championship but I have no idea the last time we spent anywhere near that...
