we were dreadful last season - absolutely dreadful - the basic expectation of having the ability to pas to a man in the same coloured shirt isn't the same as expecting attractive free flowing football.

start of a new season - would be nice to be trying something new. BUT another 3 man midfield Would expect to see testing different formations, new players, new ideas etc

This takes the jam out my donut. We've been a SPL team for 30+ years and should be able to complete with Utd, St M, StJ for salaries. Particularly when we've made £XX m on player sales in recent years. The chatter at the end of last season was expect a smaller squad, less players higher quality. This is the type of signing that would fit that category.

nice to see Donnelly back.

it's the best Livingstone strip we've ever had.

replacing black with a dark claret would have been a winner. If we win every game we play in it - it will grow on us.

best signing we've made for quite some time - very pleased with this.

There were several issues with players in the Jan window. Suspect that was down to lack of game time than the level of the leagues they came from. Getting a full pre-season should be fine. I still believe the Scottish Championship will have some decent players to scoop up.

his goal ratio is far better than most stickers we've signed. On the face of it a very decent signing .

He's only 17 but I agree - would love to see more game time. Was thinking we could push S'OD further up and slot young Max to give him some cover. Also creates a question over the likes of Grimshaw - is he still around ?

Why would we look at a right back ? WIth both S'OD and young Max Jonhstone - who 's a damn fine prospect I don't see the need.

wonder if 1st July will be the day for announcements - many contracts expire on the 1st.

completely agree - he was a regular with Aberdeen and don't imagine he'd be any worse that say Gallagher who has gone in the reverse direction.

a year ago I was excited about the season ahead- Turnbull coming back from injury along side Campbell etc, had a false feeling of optimism. Fast forward 12 months and we've signed/resigned 10+ players since Jan who at best feel like squad players + reports of trialists who will make our squad players look good. Not feeling the same excitement - we need to step up the quality

loads of talent - had a great first season when he had plenty of ball winners around him. Good luck to him.

Be interesting to see if we retain S'OD. Personal view if he stays is push him further up field. He's more effective moving forward than in defence. For Scotland last night was as lesson on how to play football, retain the ball and do the basics well. We were punished for lapses in concentration and not having the required quality in all areas of the park. Thankfully we have some very decent young guns coming through and the future looks brighter.

only has 1 position that works - centre forward - will score goals . Works best when playing 2 up front. When rotated as part of a front 3 - didn't work.

born in 1964 signed in 1986. From memory he lied about his age and said he was 19. Thankfully as he was only 3 feet tall Mclean believed him .

Vardy had scored +70 goals in his previous 2 seasons. Had as signed anyone with this type of record I'd be jumping for joy. My general point is GA has signed 11 players . Other than S'OD + Shields it's not convincing that many who have signed will be automatic starters. A smaller squad of better quality was the promise. With Kelly, Gallagher, Campbell , Cole all leaving to date we have a smaller squad - there's a distinct lack of quality .

Dougie was approaching 22 and yes plucked from Pollock and proved to be incredible. Some frogs turn to princes - not many though. I hope this lad proves to be a great player.

completely with you. By the age of 24 if any good he'd have gone beyond non league. It's not shaping up brilliantly thus far. Connor Shields + SOD both get a big tick BUT pretty much every other signing since GA has arrived has been very Meh Fox ,Carrol, Mugabi, Crawford, Lawless, add to that Cornelious and Devine who if good enough would have been playing by now.

A number of championship clubs must be watching thinking he's worth a punt. Wouldn't be surprised if someone came along and offered £1m+ to lure him away - probably the big move he was hoping for before arriving at FP.

It was a big opportunity to Gallagher. Had he played well and continued to have game time I suspect he'd have played in the last 2 games. I've no idea if he was injured or not BUT it's irrelevant - either way his chance has slipped away.

completely agree - for a Well player to represent their country and play that well. Well done sir. I do think he adds more value the further up the park he plays.

Big man likes a signing on fee. Other than at Well think he's had a new club every season. Good luck to him, hard working player.
