Just you focus on trying to pip East Fife and Montrose for the last playoff spot next season champ.

Or not getting relegated for the third time in four years.

If we're so shite (which we are) and you're on here mocking us, why not take the bet? Easy way to get some money for the charity of your choice, no?

You're not confident enough in your own team to take that bet are you?

Zanatta, being a good player, is a bit of a footballing myth. He has the occasional (use the term loosely) bit of quality, but on the whole, he’s not got nearly enough (or any) fight and battle in him to win a division, or even get promoted, which is what our aim should be, so not really a loss. 
McCall has a good record with developing players, but they are all players who are willing to be helped, I never got the impression from Zanatta, that he was willing to change.

So this weekend, Players who have contributed f**k all to the club and are therefore totally complicit in getting us relegated jump ship at the first opportunity. Says a lot about their character.

Zanatta wouldn’t have cut it in League 1 anyway. Another duff Caldwell signing. Hopeless.

Think he does at least try, far more than Dario. Also seemed capable of some goals. Though banzo and oware were worse than him last season. Though they both seem to be staying

Agreed.

Our central midfield of Bannigan, Docherty and Niang certainly lacks creativity. Gordon might be a good option off the bench if we need a goal, but hes an absolute passenger at all other times.

Wouldnt mind us going for a Ross Forbes - Joe McKee type player to dictate the tempo and have a few cracks from range as I imagine we'll have far more of the ball next season compared to last 7 or 8 years.

Gordon, might be a passenger at times, but he tried a lot more than Zanatta ever did. Gordon doesn’t work as a CM,  because he can’t defend or even keep possession well, but, he’d be much better in behind the striker, and for his lack of game time this season, he’s scored a fair amount of goals. Wouldn’t be devastated  if he left, wouldn’t mind if he stayed, play to his strengths and he’ll be good.

Exactly This! 

We need an attacking midfielder to join them. Docherty, a good tackling midfielder, Banzo’s a possession-keeping, game flowing type midfielder and Niang is a defensive mid (I think), so we really need someone with strong attacking intent to run in behind and so on.

With Lyons coming in it's a relief to see Zanatta go honestly. Probably on a sizeable wage and has no dig about him. Was great on his debut and has been anonymous since.

Fox was poor last season and with most of us wanting Sneddon to start anyway its convenient for him too leave.

 

Excited to see who McCall signs, desperate for a playmaking cm and a right winger.

I assume the club has put some sort of deadline on the players that have relegation release clauses in their contracts because, in this climate, it makes no sense for Fox or Zanatta to leave. They could go months before getting another club and as a result will have no wages until they get signed up again

A good creative cm is a must but the plus side at the moment is it's a buyer's market at the moment as there is so many players getting released throughout the divisions due to teams cutting their cloth, you will obviously having players out there who still want to be full time (willing to reduce their wage) opposed to going part time looking for a gig so we could have a good window as we are getting rid of some big earners from the club as well

True. But if the rumours of leagues one and two not starting until Jan or not happening next season at all, then anyone remotely decent will be signed unless you go down the loan route
