I can see us bringing 2 in for those positions but really need to move a few out to do it imo. Bates and Ramirez or Watkins. Edit to add it won't necessarily be easy to move them on so we might have to be patient on the rebuild being completed. Link to comment

Can't see Ramirez going now since the MLS window is shut. He'll hang on and head back stateside at the end of the season. In terms of players leaving i think we'll see McLennan, Watkins and Bates all leave permanently. Polvara will go out on loan. Somewhere like an Inverness or the likes wouldn't be a bad shout for him. I know Goodwin said Duncan will stay until Jan but i think he may be loaned out now. Is he going to get sufficient minutes when he's behind Besuijen, Hayes, Roberts, Morris, Duk etc? Can't see it. If we can bin Watkins, Bates and McLennan i tgink we'll sign another left sided centre half and perhaps another loanee full back. Right sided preferably but fuck knows how long Coulson is out for. Goodwin didn't seem to chipper when asked about it. That may force him to look for a left back. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 It's funny how there is plenty chat about how we fit the team together but in reality there is so few weeks in the year where we are missing no players. Now missing Coulson, Mackenzie, Morris, Roberts and Barron which is on the excessive side but you'd expect 2-3 to miss every game Link to comment
Bournemouth Gee Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Fingers crossed with Coulson... Link to comment
Tord31 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 So weve played 6 games and McCrorie has ended up in defence in 4 of them. I think we need to hurry up and either sign a defender, blood young Milne or give Bates another chance. Link to comment

Exactly the positions some folk thought we had too many players Link to comment

Confirmed by both Hibs and the Saudi's he's heading back. He’s odds on to get a few against us then. He loves a goal against his boyhood team. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I see Goodwin brining up the 22 players thing again in his comments and saying we'll probably move a couple on. We are on 25. The obvious candidates to go would seem like Bates, McLennan and Watkins. Outside shouts for Lewis, Ramirez, Polvara (loan) and Duncan (loan) Link to comment

Only Bates would need replaced. To finish off the squad ideally we need a left centre half & an out & out “no10” maybe and then we have all bases covered? Link to comment

Watkins can go too without any fanfare but we'll need another defender in when Bates moves. Lewis will stay until next summer at least Ramirez will stay until the next US window, maybe even until his contract ends I wasn't convinced before that Polvara would head out on load, but Clarkson's arrival and excellent first impression makes it more likely Duncan will stay, especially if Roberts and/or Morris aren't fit/ready. May well go out on loan in January if he's not getting much game time Harvey will go out on loan Shirt numbers 6 & 7 are still both available, if anyone fancies reading anything into that Link to comment
BonnieDon Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Watkins, Bates, McLennan and Polvara the mostly to leave. Obviously too early to tell however could this potentially be one of the best transfer windows we've had in the last 30 years? Link to comment
Crashnyploshnit Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Polvara should be loaned out. Watkins, Bates and McLennan should be binned. Link to comment
Zeus Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 McLennan will come good. At Elgin City Link to comment

Fine move for him. I think Dundee would be a good move. Same treatment as Campbell to see if he can prove himself as a player of £200k to £500k value and we can get some cash. Otherwise he's freed in January or May. Link to comment
