We need to get rid of the 'surplus' in the team. That's the likes of Kennedy and McGeouch, probably Ojo as well despite him impressing the management team. Cormack mentioned in the podcast with Spiers that our wage budget is higher already than last season. We need to lose the dead weight to get players in who will improve the starting eleven. Ojo, McGeouch, Campbell and Virtanen should all be getting a clean slate. I'm not sure we should automatically think its Campbell who should be at the front of that queue. I wonder if he'd benefit from a loan spell away Link to comment

Depending on those leaving permanently in August he may well go out. Would be good for him to play every week and get minutes under his belt. He's not going to be a starter yet if Ferguson and Brown are starting every week. Virtanen doesnt look like he's going to make it here. Best if he leaves to for his own sake. Although the majority of us have no idea what type of player he is. Link to comment
Don_Corleone Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 If Hedges leaves we've basically got no pace in the entire team and we lose a large part of our creativity and excitement / entertainment value. If he can leave next year for nothing we would likely need to sell if we got offered a million. I could see him linking well with big JET as they are both very neat footballers. Hedges would not be easy to replace - outwith Rangers and Celtic, he's the best winger / attacking midfielder in the league. I'm actually surprised one of them haven't been sniffing about him.

fine-n-dandy Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Genuinely think our best chance of getting McGrath is if we offer them McLennan &/or Kennedy for free & continue paying their wages. Loan until end of contract basically but make it permanent on paper so they have chance to sell either if they want. Add a small fee if needed to make up to their realistic valuation. doubt they would go for basic loan as they have no sell on benefits if either somehow managed to attract interest. Joking aside rgds their ability but maybe a club like St Mirren would work for them edit, also the likes of McGeouch/Ojo just as St Mirren who they want ? Link to comment

ThomohawkKid Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I was more implying he’ll likely go for free or minimal fee in Jan rather than selling now. Link to comment

True but it's so random he's like 5-6 years older than Ramsay. One of the best players in the championship 2 seasons ago. It's poor squad management we have him as the 7th or 8th centre mid. He's more than good enough to be 4th or 5th alllowing us to divert money to other positions Link to comment

I'm all for Fergs getting sold at the right price. McCrorie could step right into the midfield along with brown. I'm still in Deano's corner. But I'm all for moving dylan, ojo, etc. Chura type signings are a good way to do business. Develop and sell on. Ronnie has a goal and seems to be getting a chance in ATL. Keep the pipeline open.

Glass said he picked up a knock from the Hacken match on Thursday which is why he wasn't in the squad. If he is being sold I hope its for a minimum of 1 million. I'd be reluctant to let him go unless we receive a very good offer. I think we'll struggle to replace him. Same applies to Ferguson. If Hibs are receiving 5 million for Doig, we should be expecting the same amount for Ferguson. Another player I think we should hold off from selling this summer. 1 Link to comment
