4 new faces at least

3 or 4 more players being hunted for another striker winger and cb 5 out 7 in cant remember that happening since the Turnbull days

it will be Maloney, May, a CB & possibly 1 more.

McNaughton; no Thanks as he's passed it

I'd give McNaughton a year for his experience alone, he could surly pass some of his knowledge/experience on to the boys coming through.

Shaun Maloney failed medical?....

So a couple of posters on Afc Chat are saying who claim to be in the know. Bugger ! And Stevie May situation would appear to be on hold as well.

If he's failed his medical, it only backs up what I feared. He'd be a great signing ability wise, but he'd miss half the season injured.

As for Stevie May, I don't think he'll sign either. Alex Neill is about to be named their new manager and he's an ex team-mate from May when he had a successful spell at Hamilton
Think Neill will want to keep him and give him a chance.

Might have dodged a bullet there with Maloney. I take it a failed medical means that the deal is definitely off?

[GGMDONS]

I will believe this once the club make a statement, until then I will hope its just another rumour

I was hoping the club were going to annouce the signing of a centre half at the same time

[Feck_the_Huns]

It MIGHT be something incidental like he's haggling over some bonus or other from Hull or some other contractual issue but, by fcuk, this hasn't half been a long drawn out affair.

Would be interested to know where the BBC got the news from last thursday that the deal was on. McInnes didn't exactly pour cold water on the deal when quizzed at McDermid Park at the weekend but looks like someone has possibly jumped the gun here, and that there are still either medical issues to be dealt with or money issues.

If it is medical, I wonder how AFC will spin this, because I doubt they'd want to influence the player's future employment elsewhere.

The Maloney transfer is looking dead unfortunately... Something major has happened for this not to have been concluded today. Possibly failed the medical as been rumoured.
Stevie May on the other hand is just a case of waiting until Preston name a new manager. I honestly think he would be a fantastic signing and I only think Preston are holding on for a bit longer as we have not met the £400,000 as reported.
We like things to go a bit difficult at this club and nothing about transfer windows runs smoothly.
My worry is that if we don't sign Maloney and May...what is plan B? They area two excellent players on their day and could certainly offer us something.

I hope this isn't true & we still sign him cos if we don't we could end up regretting it
