Would love Allan (if anything else it would piss off the huns) but I can't see it. Mcgeoch is heading south apparently and why would he leave hibs for Aberdeen? we don't even have a training ground.
Ferguson is an unknown quality, comes from a good background though. He's 6'1 which pleases me, I think one of the reasons ball has done well in midfield is that he has a bit of physicality. Fwiw I would try and keep Ball too, he's a versatile team player and worth keeping if he's not wanting the earth wages wise. He has a year left on his deal at Rotherham but I think they got him on a free so might be prepared to release him to get him off the wage bill.
One player I would DEFO go for is Alex Shalk of county. I really like him as a player, reminds me a little of Scott McDonald actually, and his contract is up. I think he would be a great addition to the front line and is a completely different option to anything we have.
A new lb is clearly needed but I actually can't remember when that wasn't the case.
