We paid over £100k for Anderson in January I'd say if Levein believe their was sell on value and potential in Bain we would pay £400k, make him first choice for 2 years then sell on for £1million by which time Hamilton would be make or break 1st choice

Feel free to tell me why I am wrong. Bain is a good keeper who could become an exceptional keeper but as it stands he's worth less than 500k and your tin pot club wouldn't turn down a bid of that sort.

Dundee wouldn't get any more than £400k for Bain and they would take it.

Bain is the man, makes perfect sense, could get him for 200k and sell on value and long term no1 until then. Have to agree Alexander is reaching the use by date and not sure if Hamilton is the sucessor on that timescale

Charlie Telfer £170k plus VAT - 1 first team appointment and 0 u21 caps Jason Holt - 81 first team appearances plus 9 u21 caps....... Odds on us getting less than £100k?

It's not really a glamour friendly though. Pre-season friendlies are generally shite and a rip off at nearly £20 I'd struggle to justify £20 for Barca or Real Madrid never mind a mix of everton reserves/first team barely trying.

Bit surprised they are up. Not a massive increase but there was a lot of demand this season in part due to circumstances and the championship line up. Extra games yes and premiership but if Rangers and Hibs don't go up I'm going to feel a lot less excited about next season.

Wanting to be reunited with Nade and enjoyed being tried out by Kevin Cuthbert......

Scott Allan doing a Danny and invoking his non-promotion clause to sign for Hearts

Bit mixed on this Danny is ok. He isn't as good as he thinks he is. He'll go to Celtic or the championship and warm the bench then come back in 3 years with his tail between his legs. Given how much faith and support this club has given him personally think he should have felt some duty to give us the final year of his contract. I'm not concerned about replacing him. Ozturk is a better defender and Robbie and Craig will find better to partner him.

I'd expect most of this seasons squad to stay Possibly except for Eckersley who will get money down south if he wants and Zeefuik who isn't worth 300k.

Apparently had a dig at them on twitter (like previous loan player) and got sent back. blackpool maybe need to work on why players seem so quick to have a dig at them. Comment was along the lines of blackpool kick off more than they take corners.

If that's the case would be surprised if he doesn't end back at Stenhousemuir eventually. be waste keeping him at tynecastle when we'll have 6 strikers to choose from in front of him

An emergency loan (31 or 93 days) would be ok I think - they don't count as "transfers" Sure there is a few players who have done this before and played for 3 and 4 teams in a season. We won't do that until the 93 days will take him until the end of the season though and/or Carrick and El Hassnoui are back.

I would guess Carrick will be back at the end of the month and we'll at that point send Oliver out on a 93 day loan until the end of the season. Win win as Carrick gets games and fit, might damage hibs and rangers then comes back to us fit and fresh at a stage he might play. At the moment he will be behind Sow, Keatings, Zeefuik and then possibly El Hassnoi and Oliver. As for Holt. An Enigma, never got the gushing for him.

McGowan signs for Dundee Utd I think it will quickly be realised that McGowan is capable but no world beater. Will probably play most weeks but not first on the team sheet. Remembered at Hearts as a sort of cult player as opposed to a world beater. Surprised he isn't after wages beyond SPFL but suppose he's made his money in China.

The same applies to Holt, Robinson and Mckay Not terrible players, possibly could go on to be decent SPL players however all 3 are now over 20 and haven't been able to cement a place in the team. Yes we have good players but certainly not world beaters and if they can't get in the team before them and don't want to be back up then it's no real loss. Yes they may go on to better things but then they may not.

McDowall's on 12 months notice too and gets his salary doubled for it! Christ may as well get Ally and Kenny to re-do the pitch

It's Durie's turn Whose going to assist him?

If people think McKay is going to turn down first team football at St Johnstone to be 4th choice at Heart's people are deluded. He might be a fan but even then. I'd go as far to say he'd be borderline brain dead to do so. As for Jason Holt he is only just about to turn 22. If we've offered him a new deal we'll be due a development fee (not clear if we have I'd hazard a guess we've offered him something). 75 first team appearences, 8 goals and 7 Scotland U21 caps compared to Charlie Telfer's lone first team appearence. On this basis any development fee surely has to be a quarter of a million pounds upwards. Knowing the SFA we will get £10k.

If he's on about £20k a week then it's probably as well to play for Chelsea and be loaned out every season than leave and end up being paid £2k a week by these clubs directly. He could seek career advice from John Fleck.

The fact we've allowed Beith to stay on loan until the end of the season suggests Holt and Robinson are going nowhere. If the rumour they are both on circa 2k a week each not surprised. I'd imagine their Agents would have been laughed at by SPL and Championship clubs and not convinced either is good enough yet (or will ever be) for big money down south.

He's not long turned 19. How many of Celtic's current 1st XI are 19 or under?, What about at any clubs? He's still very young. He'll serve his apprenticeship and will probably have to settle for u21 football or playing league 1 or 2 until/to prove himself.

What about twitter legend Jason Cummings?

I do agree and King has improved massively but he's more of a consistent all rounder whereas Walker can spark games into life when it looks dead. I think the 3 wingers is probably the one position were even Robbie and Craig haven't decided who is best. I'd probably play King and use Walker off the bench to spark games.
