Caley Thistle sign Steven Boyd from Alloa, very surprised he managed to bage a Championship move to be honest. Quite an underwhelming signing from an ICT perspective.

I was sure he'd either extend with Alloa or resurface at another league 1 club.

Never saw a Championship side coming in for him especially Caley who will have ambitions of competing at the top end. Likely a squad player and could do them a turn.

So far in the Championship there hasn't been stellar signings from the league above or down south. Very good signings from Thistle and Rovers who have just mopped up some of the best L1 players and there's been a bit of sideways shuffling as expected. 

As McInally said in the P&J a few days ago there's a dearth of players available

Jim McInally was saying it's the quietest window player availabi!ity wise this season and struggling to get players in,  Looking at the released players from championship and league 1 teams to be honest the majority have been snapped up, a few decent left which would be out of our wage bracket Telfer, Longridge etc surprised Boyd got a gig in the championship would think he would have done job at us...

 

A few on here seem on think we have signed a few unannounced  players, not convinced at all..   McCabe has to deliver, have we been caught out here, massive couple of weeks coming up....

Cove, like Airdrie, have lost arguably their best player, have lost a strong manager and need a decent amount of recruitment in what looks like a very quiet market.

Just doesn't seem much out there looking at the released Championship and L1 lists. Guys like McCall, McGlynn, Murray trying to do business early as possible which is normally wise. Don't want to panic buy but it's approaching the end of June, teams are back in training with the LC under 3 weeks away. Can't all bank on the loan market. Last thing we all need is more SPL clubs filling the LL.

Must admit I'm worried about what we'll manage to bring in.

Interesting article with an interview from McCabe about player recruitment. Seems like he won't be just going for anyone and signing players that will improve the team and that the replacement for Easton is the main priority.

Don't know what to make of it, hints at a few things going on behind the scenes but it sounds like Airdrie are at the early stage of recruitment.

Hints at replacements for Paterson and Afolabi being lined up but no hints at a goalkeeper.

A did hear about a good few loan players in training yesterday don’t know any names tho do expect to be seeing atleast two Celtic loans coming in again this year 

Yeah I’d expect another celtic loanee, Owen moffat was spoke about in January, wouldnt be surprised to see the boy devenny back as well.

Cant see moffat coming back pretty sure he knocked us back last minute that’s why Afolabi came in 

100% would take deveney back can see he’s got potential to become a top player just never got a chance last season under Murray looked well in his short spells of the bench

Stands as loanee gone back to parent club, Harry away on PCA to Partick, offloaded 3 and not even a faint glimmer of a new signing! Frustrating but still time I suppose

Didn't Max go to QoS?
