It might not be long till the season starts but it's over a month and a half until the transfer window closes. We may not see any movement for a few weeks yet.

Rules: 1. One name per points tally for the season, first come first served! 2. Only allowed to change prediction until closure of January transfer window as along as it is to an empty tally. 114 100 90 80 79 78 77 76 75 74 73 72 71 TLG 70 69 Madbadteacher 68 67 66 65 - manc 64 63 62 61 60 - BigAl 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 - Tom_Widdows 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20

So he could be a good replacement for ferguson then. 2bh I would like all 3

I've not seen too much of him but heard good things. Is he not more of a centre mid though?

I would be surprised if he did 2bh. I think Goodwin likes him.

Resigned by Mcinnes but I take your point.

Even if we do bring in mcgrath and ronan we are still light for strikers if cr9 goes. Never gonna happen but I would love Bruce Anderson back.

There's defo grounds for optimism. The one I'm most curious about is stewart. As I said prior I have pal who's quite knowledgeable on the English lower leagues and he thinks he is tremendous business for us. We defo lack a bit of leadership at the back and I'm hoping he brings it. He's only 5'10 as well which adds a bit more intrigue too but abz did a pod with a guy from a Wycombe pod who assured this is nothing to worry about. Interestingly we still have a fair few Mcinnes players left in the first team squad now. Mcrorie Hayes Lewis Ferguson Mackenzie Can we include barron? We will probably be down fergie by the end of the window I reckon. He's only got 2 years left and he ain't signing a new deal.

No harm to the lad but I didn't see much of a player in there. Seemed to put a shift in at least

I have thought about this also, he's a very good pen box striker at this level. Thing is I'm not convinced he would be number one cf under Goodwin and at his stage in his career I can't see him accepting that.

Aye, ditto. I was genuinely surprised he came back for pre season but I suppose there are affairs to tie up and a free trip to Spain with the lads to enjoy (and who could blame him for wanting that).

P&j reporting we are willing to listen to offers for ramirez

Aye but it wasn't originally supposed to go like that though and you would think dunne would have been part of the original deal of we were after him.

If we were wanting dunne it would have been part of the Gallagher I would have thought.

I didn't say I was getting excited. I said this window doesn't feel as scattergun as the last two. Of course they could all be a disaster, very transfer is a gamble, but we seem to be being far more considered in who are we bringing in this window.

Credit where its due, so far our transfers this window haven't had the scattergun feel of the last two

He's able to get plenty power without much back lift on his leg, defenders don't like that as I gives them even less time to set themselves.

Sounds like this boy could be a really good bit of business. Boyce is a interesting one, really good penalty box striker imo and even at 31 I would expect plenty of goals from him should this be anything other than paper talk. If he did come in though surely that means ramirez is defo away?

Pal of mine who follows lower league football down south says Stewart is tremendous business for us.

Whether it's worth it or not will ultimately come down to how well he performs when he does play. If he's solid as hell and a key member of a team that gets us into Europe/Cup success then you can argue it's a successful bit of business however much it might leave a bad taste in the mouth loaning from the tims. I think it's fair to say though that he's probably never breaking into the celtic team regardless of how well he does with us. If he does well and enjoys his time here that could naturally lead to a permanent move like what nearly happened with Christie.

Klopp classically operates a small squad so I think he will get a fair crack of the whip.

Fair play to him for broadening his horizons

I didn't pay that much attention 2bh mate. That is a shame for Robson, that would have been a great gig for him. You can understand why they took JM though

Ross in advance talks with the jutes. Got a feeling he might do alright there. Could be a couple of tasty trips to Tannadice next season.

That looks a pretty solid bit of business for Sevcove. It will be interesting to see macintyre and dodds face each across a dugout.
