Transfer Rumour Thread 21/22

[tHeArAb]

We desperately need an attacking midfielder in the Scott Allan mould at least ,

We have done for years. It's frustrating as fcuk.

[Arabknight]

Of course he has to say that in public. He can't go out there and say "the team is pish, I need to replace 4 of them and hope to by Monday", because if those deals fall through then he has totally ****ed up the dressing room.

He doesn’t have follow the party line. What’s wrong with him admitting we need to strengthen. Most managers do. He wld definitely get more respect for doing so. Not having a go. Just keeping fingers crossed for new faces tomorrow.

[tHeArAb]

whp would you offload ?

Biamou is the obvious one. Hopefully he bails in this window given there's interest in him. Looks like we're trying to offload Hoti but he doesn't seem to want to leave. It's a hard window to move players on really. Plenty out of contract/end of loans in the summer, amongst them Harkes, McNulty, Appere & Sporle. Four guys who most Utd fans won't lose sleep over when they leave. The summer doesn't help us out now however.

I can see Appere going out on loan he's a bit surplus just now

[ianharab]

Yes it is , stopped us getting top 6 last season and will do again this

Yeah I said the same thing yesterday. There seems to be a bit of interest in him, so there's a chance he'll move on in the summer I guess. He'll be 23 at the end of the season. If he isn't breaking into the team consistently by that age then its maybe the best thing for all parties. Shame as he definitely has something about him. I was away to say he's never shown it consistently, but then he's never been given a consistent run in the team.

Our squad is massive, we are definitely needing to trim that down and whi we let go is almost as important as who we get in.
Priority has to be not getting dragged into a relegation battle and our current trajectory suggests thats the direction we are heading. A decent loan deal/signing that can steady the ship and keep us pusing for a top 6 place is a must. We seen what happened with Killie last season...f#ck that...we need to be nowhere near that end of the table come the split.

[Shedboy1971]

if we aren't going to play Appere and Glass best to actually sell them. Mochrie and Chalmers too maybe as there is a younger crop there coming through who in small glimpses look better than them - get in 2 or 3 who are ready and blood in any 17/18 year olds now and again.

And hopefully offload Connelly, sporle, Pawlett, mcnulty, clark as well as the invisible man.

... our current trajectory suggests thats the direction we are heading.

A week ago I'd have agreed with you but we've since had a great result and a good battling performance (when most folk thought we'd be there for a doing). And next up the fun, phuck them.
