I'm guessing they'd be selling/releasing players rather than loaning them out at this point.
Lang is out of contract I believe

I said it earlier, but I suspect he was on the wrong end of some bad advice from his agent who no doubt told him to play hard ball and he'd get more money.
And it didn't work.
That's all very well and good, and that doesn't make him the bad guy....spouting off in the media and trying to spin it in the direction of the club is what makes him look bad

Plenty words of wisdom being spouted on here as usual...but for me, Tait has made a total arse of his contract situation and hes made an arse of himself by trying to make the club look bad.
Going by the two statements, it's pretty easy to see that Tait, is the 'bad guy' and that disappoints me, as I liked him a lot

Is that in the best interest of the game though? Scotland needs less senior teams, not more. Punting the premiership up to 14 and adding Kelty and Brora to the setup just because "its fairer" isn't the answer IMO.
There was a decent article going around recently featuring Gordon strachan talking about this. His opinion on the number of semi pro teams in Scotland is harsh, but can't disagree with it.

(I'm sure there was a more in depth article somewhere but I couldn't find it and this is the jist.)
In these unprecedented times, I think it is in the best interests of the game...we help protect clubs from losing money unfairly and we dont make the game look as though its ran by clueless

Still waiting to hear what solution you had that would have been fair to every team in promotion and relegation slots.
I wouldn't have let it get to this stage...but right now, the only fair way is to increase the size of the leagues

Who would have thought that handing titles to teams who didn't win them and relegating clubs that didn't deserve to be relegated would cause problems!
Burrows hasn't mentioned anything to do with this in months. He obviously knows the SPFL have fucked it.
I'm looking forward to everyone else realising it as well...rather than just shouting 'get tae fuck hearts'

I can only assume these new signings are replacing the wages of those released?...Robbo is always pleading poverty but yet we seem to be signing plenty. Have no problems with us signing players but as I have said before I feel we should be giving youth a chance. Again all about opinions. COYW
Pleading poverty is what we do...and to be fair, it works

Does anyone know Yet who the new National League striker it is that we are meant to be signing?
It's not national league level from what I've heard

As far as centre backs go, management may not see Mugabi as a long term option and may view Donnelly and Maguire as midfielders - will the latter even move on. Gallagher of course could move on although I'm not aware of any evidence he will. Charles Dunne - on a short term contract and injury prone.
In midfield, a player or two could move on who knows? You also have to take into account the type of player in there, where we need a balance of defensive and attacking types.
Agreed, the way things are shaping up, we do look a bit stronger than last term, if we can add more firepower up front.
All that said, it'd be great to see some home grown talent push through and establish themselves.
Mugabi hasn't been signed so that he can watch 18year olds from the stand, if that was the case, I'm sure he'd be given a deal to go. ..
...while Maguire and Donnelly are arguably midfielders, I'd imagine if everyone were fit from our midfield depth and we had a defensive crisis, it's more likely that either of them would fill in before two untried guys.
In midfield, I think it's almost certain someone will move on, and that's why I hold out more hope for Cornelius than I do for the guys at the back.
Oh, and Maguire has signed a new deal btw

Given that Robinson said a couple of weeks ago we'd be depending on more youngsters this season, we need to hope they are good enough.
Devine and Hussain are the two youngsters that will be competing with Lamie, McGinley, Mugabi, Maguire and possibly Donnelly for the 'other' centre back slot beside Gallagher...I have a feeling that neither will see much 1st team fitba regardless of what Robinson has said previously, given the level of competition they have.
As it stands, I'd think MacIver is about the only youngster (and by that I mean, youngster that hasnt properly broken through yet, and obviously not forgetting the ages of Campbell and Turnbull) with a shouting chance of regular game time and thats only because of our wafer-thin options in the forward positions at present - and from what I gather there is a forward on his way in shortly from our lower league hunting ground in England
The likes of Cornelius and Semple, have the task of displacing Polworth, Campbell, Turnbull, Donnelly from our midfield which will be no mean feat, unless either injury, or more likely, we cash in on one of our bigger assets...and we dont go back for O'Hara.
I know what the manager has said recently, but I'm almost of the opinion that our 1-18 is stronger (should we bring in the forward that I've heard named, and add a winger) than it was last season, and any youngster is going to find it tough going to get a crack.

Hopefully a good signing and I wish him.well but I would like to see is giving more of our youngsters a chance first before we sign players from down south.. whole point of a youth academy is to train them and have them competing for first team.
Maybe the latest batch arent good enough?

Chillax, I can see us picking up a young Premiership reserve with decent talent on loan. Given 3rd place football and Europe it's great experience for a team to toughen him up a bit and stretch his legs...watch this space. (the one between my ears).
We generally don't operate in that market

Seems to be Nathan McGinley from Forest Green. Left sided defender left back and centre back...
Badly needing a striker...any on their way in?

This boy has clearly been brought in as a centre back

I realise that but i thought the financial uncertainty might have kyboshed alot of things. A few English clubs owe us quite a bit of dosh and who knows if they will have the ability to pay it when this is over.
How can it be kyboshed when they were signed months ago?

You're trying too hard now. You won't catch any fish unless you dial it back a bit.
Trying too hard for what? In my opinion the guy is awful, not decent, or no bad...absolutely awful.

And while I don't think ODonnell is who we should be going for, he isn't shite imho.
You've not been watching closely enough...the guy is rotten
