From those who were in the squad last year that he wants to retain? Yes. New players? Not so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I suspect we'll be relying heavily on the loan system this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every available Dundee United player will be distributed between us and Cove. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaithRover123 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Josh Meekings released by Dundee would anyone take him here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilted John Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Josh Meekings released by Dundee would anyone take him here? Definitely... we are going to be in the market for a decent centre half! Especially given that Bene is out of contract and Davo surely doesn’t have a championship season left in him. Not as a consistent first choice anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I guess the power is with the clubs at the moment, there will be plenty players around and the season doesn't start for a few months yet. It's not ideal, but I've got 100% trust in the manager to make the most of whatever situation falls our way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 McGlynn will have a list of names I have no doubt about that. Perhaps even more than 1 list depending on the finances at the end of this mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover94 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Completed agree mcglynn and smith will be busy talking to players who he wants to keep he will probably be taking to a load of players and players he can get on loan he will have his contacts managers will know how well he works with young players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Talk of an increase to six from four loans for this season. That would be excellent as McG has shown a knack for finding loan gems at League One level, so hopefully can continue at the Championship level. Given the recent travails and partnership, wondering if Dundee has any developing players that might not be Premiership ready yet and would loan them to Raith and Cove. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottydog Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) Wouldn't be surprised to see almost all of our league winning squad re-signed (Baird, Ziggy, McLean and Victoria excepted). So it looks like Bene will be here, I wouldn't be surprised to see Davo and Anderson back too, Miller might be back too but I'd love to see a better RB. I worry that McKay will be released as I get the feeling John and Paul don't rate him, especially given the way he was promptly dropped after being (IMO) the mom in games. Midfield is pretty solid if Matthews is resigned but lacks width especially if Armstrong goes. Strikers will be the main issue, Smith and Vaughan are good but we need depth. I reckon Thommo will re-sign but hope there's another keeper coming in as competition, Jamie MacDonald or Danny Rogers would be ideal. Hopefully by Friday we can see beyond this legal farce and more exciting news. Edited July 13, 2020 by Scottydog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilted John Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I hope you’re right Scottydog but I’ve got a feeling it’ll be a fair bit longer than that. My understanding is that they asked for all the tv contracts, communications etc regarding the vote etc and pencilled in Wednesday to start sifting through the details. If they need to call witnesses and such like, it could become fairly drawn out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speculation abounds that this season will be a buyers market in respect of signings, loans conversely IMO won't come cheap. The donor clubs will be tight for cash and won't let players away for next to nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 The common thought is that players will be forced to reduce their wages demands but I read an interview last week (can't remember who it was) where a manager was expressing his frustration at the continued unrealistic wages demands of players. I expect it could all be a bit of a stand off until the players get a reality check. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I think the Pars have played a bit of a blinder here. I thought as soon as all this happened a club that was willing and able to splash the cash a bit could built a right good squad due to the amount of players looking for a club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFARAB82 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Is it this week we find out if we both keep our promotions brothers in arms? if so hopefully we can go back to the old days and send a couple of players on loan in the near future as an act of goodwill 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
