Bavidge away back to Caley for the season. Jimmy says it’ll be reviewed in Jan and that they had a good look at him during pre-season and feel he needs regular games.

No surprise. I'm not sure it really does a whole lot for us him having a good spell there, but game time is definitely beneficial. I'm not convinced we'll see much that'll change Thelin's view between now and January, I think he'll take a few years to get to his peak.

[BigAl]

Nisbet - Gone

Dabbagh- Gone 

Gueye - Gone

Bavidge - Gone

Vinnie - Gone

What's the Dazzler up to these days 

Time to reach out for a legend to return to the fold 

 

[redordead]

Can't say bavidge ever stood out last season when I seen them. Marshall did well at cove and got a step up this season with my mate at Arbroath.

Although I maintain that fyvie was still coves best player

[RicoS321]

Fuck sake, we're down to third in the table already as things stand. When the fuck are we signing a striker? Absolute disgrace.

We haven't even managed a shot on target yet this season.  Sack Thelin.

P&J linking us with Luca Stevenson from Liverpool  who was at United last season.

Defensive mid seems to be an odd position to be strengthening.

He played all over the place for Dundee United last season.

He began the season at right midfield, was moved more centrally, and one of the games he played at left-back was in the 2-2 draw at Pittodrie.

So, our new #9 then!

Interesting. Like Dorrington, it strikes me that we'd be predominantly better signing him for fear of missing out, as he is apparently a good player. At the expense of squad imbalance and resulting in some players getting less minutes than we'd want. Either that, or it suggests we're going to be regularly changing our system to a three in midfield. Unless Clarkson or someone else is leaving.

Anyway, looking like no number nine for tomorrow, which is a touch disappointing.

Had seen somewhere that we’d lodged for a work permit, but seems odd as I always thought it was the other way around? I.e, sign first then get the visa sorted?

[BigAl]

Dabbagh no more 

Won't be returning to us in this transfer window as away to play for some Egyptian team.

 

[RicoS321]

Squad numbers out. Interestingly, no number three in there. Also, Lobban in the squad. He looks like a great player, but not sure how he gets a look in with Devlin and Jensen there. Perhaps just to make up the Scottish quota. 

[OrlandoDon]

Devlin shinnie Duncan Boyd Milne lobban, how does that leave the Scottish quota??

No number 3, 12, 14, 15, 16, plus polvara is 8, topi 81, gyamfi 77, don’t know if squad numbers mean anything other than just a number..

[Jute]

Squad numbers as everyone else is to lazy to copy and paste.

Think there are 7 that qualify as Scottish trained plus  we can call back cooperation loans to make up number to 8.

You're too lazy to include the second "o" in too.

We also get a dispensation, as Ambrose hasn't been trained by any football association.

pretty sure Ambrose gets counted in the opposition quota

We have gone over this before I am clearly too lazy to be grammatically correct.

The same lobban that was it on loan l at cove last season?

He's not ready to step up to the premier. Steady enough at div 1 but not a stand out at that level and you really should be to play in our first team. 

 

On that note alloa have a keeper on loan from hearts Liam something. McInnes was watching him on Saturday. Unbelievable saves! Looks like a young Craig Gordon.

I thought he was a stand out every time I saw Cove. Although I'd agree that he isn't quite ready, but one I thought could be given game time to develop this season. He looks most likely to be the one to make it out of him, Marshall, Stewart, Bavidge and previously Emslie in my view. It's getting that transition between loan and first team where we really struggle. We should be able to carry a right back to some degree during games, and we should be forcing ourselves to do so in order to blood the young players.

See this transfer hasn't gone through yet.

Right at this moment in time signing Dabbagh would be a massive step up from where we currently find ourselves.

[Jute]

If we are looking at last seasons loans I would rather we went back and tested Millwall’s resolve on Nisbet.

Don't disagree Jute, my point, I guess was that Dabbagh coming back would be a huge upgrade on where we currently find ourselves 

[Jute]

Oh totally agree that Dabbagh is a better player than Yengi on what we have seen so far. 
 

I would love to know what those that watched Yengi saw.
