Lang Toon Saintee Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 My positivity is definitely on the rise again as the squad is now far stronger and fresher. If we can get one or two more in before the deadline then that would be a real bonus...I agree with the departures mentioned Ambrose and Craig with May and Etu out on loan...I don't think.we have seen the last of Liam though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what comes to pass over the next day and subsequent months, the club needs to remember what caused this season and always make sure they have a plan going into every window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 This would have been an excellent set of transfers if we weren’t bottom of the league. I still feel we nee proven quality in the middle and up front before the window closes otherwise it’s a big ask for the new guys to come in and turn it round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still feel we nee proven quality in the middle and up front before the window closes otherwise it’s a big ask for the new guys to come in and turn it round. I think that so far we've done what we can. Given what happened in the summer, and the sheer size of the squad now, it does look like we'll be seeing a few exits. The difference this time is that other than Clarke (and Gordon but he's just signed a long deal) I can't think of a single player that we could lose that would hurt us anywhere near as much as McCann and Kerr did. Would not lose a wink of sleep if McCart, Rooney, May or MOH left for example. So in that sense we're in a decent enough position. Booth and Kane might be losses but nobody will be buying them. By next weekend we could conceivably line up something like Clark Brown Cleary Gordon Mahon Gallacher MacPherson Gilmour Hallberg Bair Hendry Which would be a bit nuts considering where we were at Christmas.

I still feel we nee proven quality in the middle and up front before the window closes otherwise it’s a big ask for the new guys to come in and turn it round. Agree with this. Davidson’s 3 prior windows were littered with short term signings which has really hurt the squad, which was so young, vibrant and on long deals before he arrived. There’s no accounting for selling your two best players on deadline day obviously, but the short term nature of other signings hasn’t helped. Cleary, Mahon, Gallacher, MacPherson, Crawford and Bair have all signed up for two and a half years and Hallberg for 18 months. Even if we go down, which is probably more likely than not now, we have a strong base to build from and makes the summer a more targeted window. This has been a complete disaster of a season in a lot of ways but there’s green shoots of recovery after this window. I’m not expecting any more long terms signings after Bair, but hopefully at least one more signing to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 50% is a massive sell on, but they clearly still have high hopes. Wonder if we discussed a loan and a ended up agreeing to a transfer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never sure what to make of sell ons that high, presumably we're sure we'll end up with more than we spent regardless, while they have high hopes they'll make money too. Only guarantee is it gives our fans a chance to moan either way. Bair could bag 5 goals this season, keep us up, bag 15 as we stroll into Europe, get sold for £2m, and you'd have our fans moaning about signing him in the first place because we had to give away 50% of the fee. Just now, Valentino Bolognese said: The fear we've gone for quantity over quality is still there but I guess that's the January window. Yeah tbf I don't think they had a choice, ideally they needed both but I doubt theres much guaranteed quality floating about this month. A lot of gambles in there but they feel like calculated gambles to me, so at least theres a chance it works out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see that being right, think it’s more likely to be based on the profit of a future sale rather than just any future sale which does make a bit of difference. Both clubs must be confident in his ability if they’re thinking it’s worth putting that into this deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) next seasons’ team: Sinclair Cleary Gordon Mahon MOH McPherson Hallberg Gallacher Bair Kane Wotherspoon Subs Wills Booth Brown Kucheriavi Ferguson Gilmour Ballantyne Crawford May Vertainen Probably looking for a starting goalie, starting RWB, starting striker and more depth in midfield as a minimum in the summer. It will be a much easier window for the club to shop in than this one would’ve been as well. Edited January 30, 2022 by Kyle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sainthearted Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Apparently we’ve agreed to pay $135,000 (£100,000) for Bair. Edited January 30, 2022 by Sainthearted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
