ONeils40yarder Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 2 central midfielders and our incoming work is done I'd say, the two of them need to be 'starters' with Lasley as back-up, Cadden also has the potential to play in there and then we can look at some of the even younger youngsters like Campbell to make an impression if necessary. Outgoings, I'd say Law and Chalmers time is well and truly up, Ainsworth has a decision to make, Watt and Thomas should be sent out on loan to the Championship as thats better than another season on our bench or in the Stand. Johnson and Moult are the only two that I could see bids coming in for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yabba's Turd Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Spoke to Skippy at length at the sponsor's night, his words were he'd definitely be here next season. Wring out yer knickers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check twitter @Yabbas_Turd May 13 @domeski7 Had a long conversation with Skippy at the tail end of the night, 99% certain he'll be a dosser next season.

If Ainsworth leaves, Thomas may well be needed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 From the sound of McDonald's press conference it seems as if there's a fair chance of Pearson coming back. Also he clarifies the option/contract situation, says that to all intents he had never "left". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dossertillidie Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 McGhee's already stated that it was one or the other with McDonald and El Bakhtaoui so with Skippy taking up his option that should be that put to bed. I doubt we're in the market for another striker now, it'll be 3 from; McDonald, Moult, Johnson, Blyth and Moore. Again in line with McGhee's comments midfield is probably our priority from now. I think Jonson is seen as a midfielder. With Clarkson and fletcher away it leaves room for 2 replacements. I still have a feeling their could be 1 more in up top. Prob 3 signings at least in total and I'd guess 2 of them will be loans and 2 of them will be midfielders unless we need to replace people like law which I have a feeling as well we will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He quite often messes with the media in that regard. Signing that "young keeper" he wanted is just the latest example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick Lasley in there as well and we are only really looking at a midfielder for a first team place. Probably need another midfielder as competition/rotation with Lasley. That should be it. We need anyone else then give kids a chance.

By the sounds of it, our targets are contracted players waiting to see if they can get into the first team plans of their current club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
