Pawlett to sign pre-contract with fermers

Good.

I would say we need about 6 or 7 out but some of that depends on contract status. We might not be able to do that in one summer window. Loan players returned ASAP, so that's 2 straight away. Pawlett makes 3. That leaves 4 and if you know my posting history I would list Harkes and Butcher in that 4. I wonder what we'll do with Powers who's recovering from concussion.

Our attack this season has been ok.
Our defence this season has been ok
Our midfield has been a clusterf uck

Jeando needs help.
We need players who can pass to each other.
Consistently.

Hopefully Mickey and Tony can get the wages cleared down so we can see some actual footballers coming in next season.

We also need to be building toward next season in the remaining games. We're basically safe, so selections have to start taking into account where we're heading next season. That means starting to get more game time into the likes of Chalmers, getting Appere back in up top (I thought he'd done well in the recent games he'd started and have no idea why he has been punted back to the bench), not playing guys who are leaving (e.g. Pawlett) and ESPECIALLY not playing the loan signings - particularly McNulty who frankly has been an absolute phucking disaster.

McNulty to me always looks like a player running on ice in slippers. Him and Bolton will be on the M6 come May. If not I predict a meltdown on here, mainly from me 😄

Agree about Chalmers and Appere. We need to find a system and a blend. It's been sadly lacking all season but now he has the chance relatively risk free to blend some players together who can start to look like a team as opposed to 10 players crashing the ball at each other a lot of the time.

I get that survival has been the only goal. And well done for achieving it albeit at the expense of playing good football. Fair play, he's lost key players at times and been unable to select a settled side from midfield to front. I'm looking forward to this window much more than most.

The likelihood is that our transfer dealings will go on until the end of the transfer window.

I suppose that's just where most Scottish clubs are ATM.

It would be nice to get our business done early if at all possible. A good pre-season with the squad that are here for the season would be great.

Let's get the squad back early so we can have a proper go at a LC run. I don't like the way the group stages have become part of 'pres-season'. It's still a major trophy and I would love to see us compete strongly in the competition. So, back early and a good few friendlies before that competition starts in earnest.

We are reported to have opened signing talks with Peter Pawlett. Was he not reportedly on 'big' wages for us? I presume he wouldn't be offered enhanced terms?

[Arabknight]

Im not sure how I feel about this. In the time that he has been here I’ve seen very little consistency and ability to make me think this is a good idea.

Who is reporting that? FFS, I'm sure he is a good guy, but would be no big loss to the team if he went.

Offshore mentioned Pawlett was signing a pre-contract with St Johnstone. Is that not right then? Just speculation?

was in the courier or on tully website mate, same people who are now saying we're in talks with him

If stories are to be believed part of his deal to sign for us was a hoose in kingennie so he's not came cheap, for me we let him go, failed to impress and always injured

If he signs for ST Johnstone it will be a Bedsit beside me.
