LogieLivi Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 That's surely our last loan signing that we can make now. McMillan who hasn't set the heather alight. Penrice who I'm disappointed is leaving. Toddy who I'm not convinced is an out an out striker but has done reasonably well. Boyd who's played one game but showed great skill. And now Thompson. Any additional signings we are to make are surely going to be permanent rather than loans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I think we're looking to extend McMillan's loan spell, he looked a good player but has been injured and not had a game since around the Dunfermline 2nd half one. Boyd is staying too I think, another who looked good in a game then got injured, but I presume it isn't going to keep him out too long if we're keeping him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Can't argue with it at all. One issue though @stumigoo ... I wish you didn't mention Halkett so much, at least want a slight chance of people not knowing how good he is Edited January 6, 2018 by LiviLion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogieLivi Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Any more signing rumours?Today's match proved we need another CB or 2 and a proper striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Yep Gallagher not playing affected the formation and we didn't really have wingers today, Longridge was hanging back too much and neither wing was being used to get in behind Queens defence or hit the bye line. Thought Robinson did ok up front but he's not a striker, and neither is Boyd, and both are preferred over Carrick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B0baFatt Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Any more signing rumours?Today's match proved we need another CB or 2 and a proper striker. Heard a rumour that Motherwell are looking to take both Gallagher and Halkett which would leave us needing to find a few new defenders 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylivi1 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Trying to get 2 in this week coming. I don’t know any names though. Would certainly expect 1 to be a centre back and we are crying out for a striker. Edited January 7, 2018 by andylivi1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we will get Balatoni despite him being a decent fit for us.There's not many strikers out there on the free market. McFadden was released by qots. Might be worth a punt in a coaching sort of role? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregor Buchanan wasn't in our squad yesterday, so he may be an option for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda looking like Hoppy's target of 8th place is more realistic than my hopes of a top 4 if we lose key players like this, isn't much between teams as yesterday showed, but a wee bit of quality in key positions makes a big difference, and that'll be 3 we've lost in this window if this happens, has to have a big affect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livilion28 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Can’t see gallagher going anywhere , he’s been good this season but Halkett and Lithgow have been much better and played more games. Declan signed a 2 year deal so Motherwell would need to pay a fee can’t see that happening. Halkett will have clubs after him in summer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Just now, ATLIS said: Robinson is an AM but looks a good fit up front, Boyd is a striker though is he not? Hoppy has him down as one but i'm sure I read he was a midfielder. Both are quick and good with the ball at their feet but unless they start banging in goals, or helping someone else score then they're not much use playing as strikers. Maybe we need to get a settled pair playing up front first though, since Mullen left, or even before as he was out injured, we've had Cadden, Rafa, Carrick, Robinson and Boyd all playing up front partnering either Mackin or Toddy. About time we stuck with one of them and found out the two best players to use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a big guy that can play consistently and offer something new to the team. I think the secret would be playing Rafa up top to be honest but I doubt Hoppy will go for it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
