Saw a car at Tesco, Westhill this morning with the reg V1 HLA and thought hmmm Václav Hladký? But i'd assume we're not in for another keeper anymore after signing Roos.

Sounds like Dick plans to play him left wing or left back. I thought he always played Centre back for us but i see it was left back or left mid he played when at Stirling.

Played right back for us up at Buckie on Saturday but you could see he was taking the ball on his left side. Played really well

The squad can't be completely revamped as we want it in 1 window. The club have done really well so far i think but for me we need a proper number 10, a winger and a LB. Ideally all permanently. Then i'd happily have a young striker on loan dependent on what haplens with Ramirez. 

The club are obviously still knocking their pan in trying to get players. I suspect Ronan may end up being a loan and if anything he probably won't arrive anytime soon if Wolves want to look at him first.

Totally agree it will take more than 1 window to get proper competition in the squad.

But if we only sign 1 more player I'd be worried about the season ahead, we've made a good start of what is a big rebuild job but will need to add a several more imo.

The squad is still very small and too reliant on a number of players who've underperformed in the past and should be squad fillers at most until we can move them on or run down contracts.

[Bournemouth Gee]

I'm sure there will be a couple more soon

We need at very least a creative midfielder, winger and another striker.

That’s the Fartz signed the attacking midfielder from Peterborough. You’d think that’s them out if the running for Ronan?

Personally I think Grant is a first XI signing so don't think we'll be spending big for his understudy. And can't see both starting. Although Grant played wide left at Lincoln. And can play deeper. Ronan is out and out attacking number 10. So maybe. Kickback says we're in still. But also we're not. Who knows. Glad to help. 

[Zorba]

Still think we are weakest down the left, McKenzie has a first touch Darren Mackie would be ashamed of and is too injury prone, dont think Nweynga is good enough yet and Hayes cant be expected to play every minute. A new LB,LW and AM would get us through to January IMO.

Wolves have already made their minds up that Ronan is persona non grata haven't they?

Not according to various sites this morning, including the Retard.

Story they're putting out is that the Wolves manager wants to take a look at him in pre-season training before making a final decision on his future. Also seemed to be implying that if they were to let him go, it'd be as a loan.

25 for Bassey, yet we’re greedy asking for more than 1.5 for Ferguson. Deluded c**ts.

Calvin Bassey is an absolutely superb player

Looks like someone misspelled zoomer when signing up.

A pair of eyes. Can't remember a player with a worse first touch since DM.

Thats a Suzuki Swift

Find it very, very hard to believe that's his car

[starryfish]

Wonder if we’d be in for Darragh Burns. Wide attacking midfielder, probably the best prospect in Ireland right now, contract is up in November. Another Young up and coming prospect.

Reported the tims and Hibs in for him, might just be lazy journalism seeing as he's Irish.

Mikey Devlin off to Fleetwood

Yep, for footballing purposes

Definitely wasn't a Suzuki, was a Mini JCW. i must have got the plate wrong.

A player who i reckon we could be looking at as a possibility of signing on loan would be Elliot Anderson from Newcastle. Young player with huge potential, he can play up front, left midfield, attacking midfield. Went on loan to Bristol Rovers in Jan and was another level from those he was up against.

Eddie Howe has said he wants him to do pre-season with them before he decides whether to let him out on loan again. There are reported to be lots championships and league 1 clubs also interested in loaning him and Barton wants him back at Bristol after they got promoted to League 1. He made a comparison that he had similarities to Maradona in the box and thinks he will go on to be a star for Newcastle. England u21's are trying to get him to ditch us so shows how highly rated he is.

With the signings the toon are making i dont think he will get starts with them and not convinced he will get guaranteed game time in the championship so a move up here might be an option to compete with going out to league 1.

The only worry would be that Ameobi who is the loans manager at Newcastle will have blacklisted us after we didn't give Matty Longstaff minutes when we realised he was sh#te.

But if we could convince Ameobi and Anderson to come up here would be a good move, i think he would be superb signing and exactly the exciting type of player we need. Someone who gets fans of their seat, Scores goals, and provides assists but also works hard. He played for the  Scotland under 21's against Belgium and linked very well with Connor Barron.

That won’t be happening. Highly thought of at the toon 

Might be loaned out to championship side who are likely to be high up to really see his potential

Hibs did have bids turned down for him last year so I think the interest from them is likely to be true.

With his age, if he does join someone it wont be for free and there will be a considerable amount of compensation due to St Pats.

Very appropriate choice of words min. ?

On the contrary, we'll be blacklisting Ameobi for loaning out to us a player that he bloody well knew isn't made to play professional football. Ameobi must work on a commissions basis only.

Yeah, as i mentioned i know he is very highly rated but I don't think its completely impossible that they would consider a move up here.

If someone had asked this time last year about Longstaff people would have said that wont be happening either and he also had championship interest at that time. 

I certainly didn't expect Anderson to be loaned out to league 2 in Jan either.

Also most of the championship clubs have so much competition for places, players go out from EPL and don't get given the game time they would like so I'm just throwing the name out there as a possibility. Similar to when Maddison came up here as his agent felt his game would benefit more by coming up here at that time.

Also Dan Ashworth the new technical director has spoken about the benefits of sending players up here when he was at Brighton. 

Goodwin said he is not worried about asking anyone the question and the worst that can happen is they say no. So i say Go for it Jim, give it a try.
