D'Jaffo Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Very much doubt he will ever get near the first team. 1 goal in 16Tbf Stranraer are apparently absolutely dreadful this season and he’s not even been on the bench at times so he’s probably been injured. He’s not what we need right now so another spell on loan is probably needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMIP Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Bottom line is that we’ll need to sign at least 10 players before the start of next season. If we don’t have a strong January transfer window, I think we’ll leave ourselves with too much to do in the Summer. We can only hope that there are 2 or 3 ready to step up from the academy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvie, Forrest and Docherty won’t re-sign. Houston, Kelly and Doohan will return to their parent clubs. And then there will be decisions to be made on the likes of Bell, Geggan and Muirhead and whether they are good for another year - my guess is all 3 will be retained as we have plenty of jerseys to fill elsewhere. McCowan has faded a little recently, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone (The Jobby) offered us a bit of cash for him. It’s a major re-build job, and I would doubt we’ll have the finances to do it in one transfer window, hence the reason we really need to make a start this month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two summers have been relatively quiet - with us extending deals and bringing in 4 or 5 (including loans). We'll hopefully keep harvie, bell, muirhead, the big tall centre half, geggan, Murdoch, mcguffie, moffat, Moore and the young lad up front. 10 players with maybe ecrepont and a couple of other youngsters adding to the squad. We'll need between 5-7 players under those circumstances - a bit more than the last two summers. And that's if those mentioned stay, which isn't guaranteed. Hopefully Kerr can get a few key players in this window and it'll make it more like recent years. One of the problems is that a lot of central positions need filled - and they're more important than wingers and full backs. Losing doc is such a blow and kerr is still one of our key players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 The summer will be hard work as there’s players we won’t be able to sign and then another group of players that I really don’t want us to be re-signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 No way Harvie stays, and the way Kerr has talked about the defence since he became manager you'd think he'd be after a new CB pairing. Geggan & Bell can you squeeze another season out of them, I'm not sure. Was always going to be a big rebuild job in the summer, we were talking about it even before this season started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEHonestman1910 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Geggan can stay for next season for shithousery, Bell and Muirhead can go. I don't even though what happened to Roscoe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I like bell, and hope both he and geggan stay. Ecrepont straight in as lb, hopefully get Houston signed up or maybe the youngster back on loan as rb. Like I said, it's the centre half and centre mid areas that are most worrying. McCowan, mcguffie, McKenzie, moff and Moore is a shit-load of attacking M's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 His contract will be up anyway. Watch him screw the nut and put in some towering displays six weeks before it ends.

Yes to getting Ecrepont more involved but I’d like it if we could sign an older left back that can play elsewhere to take the pressure off him. Don’t want to rely on a 17 year old all season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
