Given the financial difficulties these clubs will face they might be looking to get rid permanently to ease up their wage bill.

I thought Drinan had another year to go on his deal down there , would be some great news if we got him on loan , even better if he’s been released and we get for keeps . Three year deal would be superb . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three year deal would be superb .I think getting any of them on a permanent deal is a stretch. They’d have to take a wage cut and then move up here on a permanent basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Kerr is on this ! He was never in our price bracket , Burton will be paying just as much as most of our Premiership clubs , Disappearing fast ? There are more player’s available at this moment in time than there has been for many years , we are well on top of who we want and need , if you check back there has been over 40 players mentioned on here by fans saying we should sign so and so , Kerr knows who he wants and will sign who he needs which is never anywhere near who fans say should be signed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Steven Lawless was one of the best players in the Premiership last season. I don’t know why anyone would think he’d move to us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Ok , So in your opinion , who from the players available list on wiki would be both within our price range and of some benefit to us . .? Just wondering !Well I’ve no idea what the budget is. What I’m saying is Steven Lawless had a cracking season and would’ve been looking for a move to progress his career. He’s not looking at a move down the divisions to better his career. There are literally hundreds of players we can pick from that have either been released from Premiership clubs in Scotland, players in lower leagues looking to progress or any number of guys punted from clubs down South. If you’re asking me outright who I’d like to see us sign that wouldn’t be too unrealistic then I think Stephen McGinn would be a class replacement for Kerr. He’s pretty much finished in the top flight although I’d imagine he may eat into our budget a fair bit. Ray Grant is another one who would be pretty realistic and ready to step up from Clyde. At the end of the day we can all say who we’d like Kerr to sign but the reality is he’s probably got 4 or 5 players that he feels are both realistic and good enough for each position he needs to fill. He’ll ask about all of them and from the ones that get back to him he’ll make a decision. There will be a fair bit of sitting around and waiting on Kerr’s part as he waits to see who he can and can’t bring in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t waste my time looking at the list , I will leave that to Mark Kerr and Mick McArdle as I trust they will sign a more than capable squad 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would agree with you on McGinn , might be ready to do a Kerr and come to the likes of us as a senior pro/captain as he looks to the next stage in his career . I am however curious where our expectations are when a guy like Cadden is deemed not good enough and goes to L2 in England and Lawless is good enough but is way out our range in L1 . Doesn’t seem to leave us much wriggle room . I know we cant sign five or six on McGinn type costs but one or two would be nice . We are after all trying to secure another play off slot . Aren’t we . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren’t we .Cadden was fairly mediocre with us but I wouldn’t have been gutted had we signed him last summer. For whatever reason it just clicked for him at Morton. He’s worked with Hopkin before and seemed to benefit from playing consistently which was something McCall couldn’t give him. By the time this summer rolled around he’d already become out of our reach and was likely to return to the Premiership or try his hand down South. As Robbo says we can all speculate until we’re blue in the face but Kerr will have his targets and we won’t know who they are unless they sign or are mentioned in the press. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Thought we may have went for Tom Walsh with him being local, but I read in the paper Hamilton are interested in him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 The likelihood is it will mainly be Unknown’s from down south we sign as that seems to be Kerr’s signing policy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Steven Lawless wasnt released from Livi by choice and would have had several other Premiership offers as well as Livi. There's not the slightest chance he was ever dropping to the Championship (except possibly if Hearts had chucked a lot of money at him). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEHonestman1910 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I see that Craig Conway is on trail with St.Johnstone so any chances of us signing him will probably be slim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be lots of players that none of us know about who could potentially sign, also a players past successes or indeed failures mean nothing when signing for a new side as we should know only too well. I'm sure none of us had even heard of Drinan prior to him signing and the same could be said for Harvie, Doohan and Kelly and look how they all turned out. Kerr will be looking at character as well as ability and I'm sure both he and McArdle will have things well under control. All said there's no need to panic about signings as they WILL come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
