Ramirez, Bates, Lewis, Watkins and McLennan must be hoovering up over £20K a week collectively, for little or no return. If we could get even half of those off our wage bill at zero cost, we'd be laughing. Maybe we have already budgeted on the possibility of that happening by bringing in Miovski and Ramadani on what must be big bucks, but it looks like we're in for a busy August Share this post Link to post

Mini though, for example, has messaged a few times saying "signing today" or "singing tomorrow" and been correct every time. If that's guesswork then I'm going to have to ask him to do my lottery tickets as well. It's all very well you saying that but when their public hints look exactly the same as all the other ITKers random guesses and they never actually give names that aren't public record then you'll forgive me for being skeptical.

Lewis for sure would need replaced Why would anyone think its a good idea to go through a season with only 2 unproven strikers. Nobody actually knows how good Miovski and Duk are going to be. We need to have options up front to cover for injuries, loss of form, players just generally not being good enough (like JET last season!!). If Ramirez goes then we will need to replace him.

BaaBaaRedSheep 76 Posted August 3 Watkins or Ramirez + some cash to Fleetwood with Morris in return. Ronan on permanent deal from Wolves. Dunne still a live option from St Mirren. McLennan to be released, potentially to St Mirren as part of Dunne deal. 1 Share this post Link to post

I don't believe that's the plan, 2 players for each position. I'd rather he stayed though, jury is out on the new number 9 for me. Share this post Link to post

I don't actively hate the people claiming to be ITK, but what I do hate is how openly some members on here will brown nose them for the sake of a 4hr heads up on a player showing up that we were openly linked with and JG himself admitted to working on getting to the club. Let's also not forget that every day this week has come with forecasts of sun and . It's educated guesswork at best. We do it to wind a few of you up. Head is up your arse if you’ve not noticed. You can’t even deny it works as you’ve just admitted it Mini has been spot on all throughout the window however. Share this post Link to post

I half wonder it the data behind Morris is that he was a dynamite striker in the youths/reserves. He's been converted to a winger when breaking in to the first team. So perhaps the thinking could be he'll be a reasonable winger (eg better than McLennan) but a potential project to unlock the striker in him 1 Share this post Link to post
