Quality bit of business welcome Hagi

Hopefully it can only get better.....

[Mark]

Lewis Ferguson is the only one out of them that I’d consider but can’t see Aberdeen parting with him for a fair amount.

Dykes is a good SPFL striker but not the standard required while Shankland needs to prove he can cut it in the top league.

[Mark]

Calvin Bassey 20 year old LB signed on a pre contract from Leicester City. Rumoured compensation of 230k and was wanted by West Ham and Bayern Levenkrusen.

We certainly seem keen to get deals done early which is good.

[Mark]

Next in the door is former Hearts and most recently Sunderland goalkeeper, Jon McLaughlin. Alexander-esk signing which I’m happy with as a backup. Was very good at Hearts.

[Watp]

We need 3/4 players that can go stright into the starting 11 simply quality over quantity now

[Mark]

Jake Hastie signs for Motherwell on loan for the season with option to recall in January. Didn’t expect him to widen feature in plans so hopefully he can go get game time and continue to develop.

[Mark]

Matt Polster rumoured to be heading back to the States to New England Revolution for £300k.

Kemar Roofe is a Rangers player!

Leaked photos show him posing with the Rangers 2020/21 Home shirt.

[Mark]

Followed very closely by Cedric Itten. A young Swiss player who had been playing for St Gallen. Very good scoring record in the Swiss league so hopefully he can keep that up.

[Jack Sparrow]

Tims are Itten the Roofe about these signings

[Mark]

Gone a bit quiet on the Zungu front. Couple of suggestions that he perhaps wants too much money but we’ll see.

Andreas Skov Olsen is another name which has been around for the past few months. Huge break through season in Denmark got him a move to Bologna but for what ever reason hasn’t continued his form. Bologna now looking to loan him out.

[Watp]

Think we will see another CM in and that will be us unless someone from the first 11 moves on.

[Mark]

Ross McCrorie joins Aberdeen on a loan which will be made permanent at the end of the season.

I like Ross but harsh reality is that he doesn’t improve our starting 11 not bring anything different to the table. If we are to improve the CM options then we need to buy players who be forcing Kamara and Jack towards the bench. That’s means moving on the guys who aren’t even making the bench and that means end of the road for the likes of McCrorie and Docherty.

Can’t help wonder if McCrorie is a sweetener for a potential deal for Ferguson.

[Watp]

We need quality over quantity Now so if moving on fringe players allows us to bring in a better level of player then has to be done.

[Mark]

Bid from Leeds rejected for Ryan Kent.

If they really want him they are going to have to stump up a lot of cash!

[Watp]

If we have any ambition of winning things we simply cannot sell Kent at any price.

[Mark]

Linked with Daniel Johnson. 27 year old Jamaican Attacking midfielder with Preston North End.

Was linked during the week along with the suggestion he wouldn’t play yesterday due to the interest. Low and behold he wasn’t involved in their game yesterday and Alex Neil wouldn’t confirm or deny anything.

[Mark]

Latest name is Mo Besic. 28 year old Bosnian midfielder currently with Everton however played most recently on Lon with Sheff Utd and Middlesbourgh.

Talk yesterday was he was in Glasgow for a medical. SG said that would be news to him however didn’t exactly distance himself from the name.

SG says he’s hoping for an “addition” but warned there wouldn’t be a number of players coming in.
