Or Ramirez will be allowed to walk away when we get a replacement and its:

Bojan, New, Loanee, Harvey

Ramirez released, loaned or nominal fee

Harvey is nowhere near ready.

with Ramirez, I think he’ll being given a free transfer if he agrees to rip up his remaining contract.

Lauritsen looks tricky now with him and his team-mate being in Rotterdam. Sparta have made a bit of deal about it on Twitter. Think that ship has sailed.

Goodwin has said next striker coming in will be a youngster and possible loan, lauritsen is dead in water nah?

Onwards and upwards. 

 

 

Apart from the fact I’ve said I’m happy with the signings (other than the fact Scales is a loan) but hey whatever floats your boat.

[DandyDonside]

Lauritsen is 100% dead in the water. Jackson Conway is still a strong possibility, but now having doubts about the chances he’ll get in first team. 
 

Ronan waiting until later in window before deciding. He’s waiting for a bigger club. Time will tell if he gets one

If they aren't committed then we should just look elsewhere rather than wait and see only for them to sign for someone else in a few months

Not true, you were pissing yourself weeks ago, this thread was full of it.

I am more than happy with the way things are shaping up, keep up the great work.

I'm guessing he said that because right now he is either planning on Ramirez being here or not giving away the fact he'll be gone. If Ramirez goes i'd expect an experienced striker to come in. If he stays then yeah a youngster. 

But the key thing now has to be a no10, winger and a keeper.

You mean when we hadn’t made any signings or at most 1? Read my comment… ‘I’m happy with the signings’… we’ve now made signings and I’m happy. Is it really that hard to understand?

It was only last weekend you were still panicking on an hourly basis though. 

Worrying about whether we would have new signings for the Buckie game or the trip to Spain. 

 

[Dons79]

Squad is shaping up nicely a few more attacking players and a keeper should do it, hopefully ngwenya kicks on and proves to be a useful addition as left back, or at least pushes mckenzie to be better, mioski signing has got me excited, bring on the title COYR

Just because you recently posted ‘I’m happy with the signings’, doesn't detract from your utter pants pishing posts from around 10 days ago.

Nice try with the 'is it really that hard to understand'

Not really sure you do though.

But you have said it now, such a clever boy!

Think Goodwin runs with a very tight ship, him and Sharp do all the coaching and training shit themselves. Did see Simmie overseeing matters, however. No sign of Robson in any pre season stuff I’ve seen

Worries me a wee bit. Obviously we aren't going to be like the OF and have 8/9 coaches outwith manager but Goodwin and Sharpe maybe have good tactics etc but its a different skill to improve a player. I had imagined we would have around 4/5 coaches outwith the manager ;

GK Coach

Attacking Coach

Defensive Coach

Fitness Coach 

Tactical Coach (which could be manager and/or assistant)

JG may be a good manager, but struggle to think of players he's improved in a noticeable way. He's signed ready made players mostly and the younger players seem to stagnate a wee bit like Erhahon and MacAllister.

I think Dave Cormack has sent you to appease the fans with frustration building. Strange this account starts the week the deals start getting completed and you know. Thanks Dave ?

Conway as third striker is fine. I would not be expecting a third striker to get the minutes that Jack Gurr ended up with as we had no defenders and Ramsay wasn't fit for every minute of every game. It's probable he is on the same level though... done pretty decent in the reserves for Atlanta but got no where near the first team.

Ramirez has to stay on until an experienced striker ready to be involved in every game is signed.

We've probably got a gentleman's agreement with him that we'll aim to sort that during the MLS window (July 7th - August 4th).

We just don't need that amount of first team coaches at a club our size. 

 

 

[Toondon]

Craig Samson is the GK coach. Barry Robson is under Simmy ( I think ) as lead development coach as the work he his doing with the young lads looks like it’ll bring plenty fruit from the tree so to speak

He no made 11 first team appearances, 1 goal?

Lauritsen will be announced as a Sparta Rotterdam player, if not tonight, then certainly by end of play tomorrow. This is a fact. Confirmed.

That’s hardly an exclusive, it’s all over twitter.

Fine by me. Seems like we got the better player anyway. And i'm guessing the money we had bid for Lauritsen probably went towards securing Miovski. But if it didn't then lets use it and get a proper quality '10' in. 

Hladky should be a no brainer if we can get him for 100k aswell. 

[Don Fonte]

We pulled out of the Lauritsen deal when it became apparent Miovski had agreed to sign.  Lauritsen was always second choice.

Great transfer work from the club.

 

[Zeus]

Choosing Sparta Rotterdam over the Dons. LOL

Weakling

Gurr maybe 2 appearances? So perhaps JC is 5.5 times better than Gurr? 

Nae muckle difference

[sooth_stander]

Goodwin also said in his press conference today that he wants to run with a 22 man squad and has promoted Duncan and Milne to the 1st team squad.

No mention of Kieran Nygwenya being promoted which suggests to me he’s either happy with McKenzie or wants to sign a left back.

Nah we were definitely after both, and they are different types of players - although obviously we are going to mostly play one up front.

Am not endorsing him by any means just I googled him earlier ?? if he’s back up to our back up - no major harm done signing him. 6 foot 3, might get his head on the odd ball.
