I'm not against signing older players. I just think we sign older players with injury issues far too often. Ideally we sign a couple younger players and move them on for a free
-
Also that Moses boy we've signed is on a deal to end of 25' season

Are we joining an 8 a side league next season then ? 😂😂
With regards to Bair add £1,000,000 onto it and we might be tempted. English championship clubs minted. Who would have thought we would be having that kind of discussion about the Bair about 4 months ago!!, love the big guy. Long may it continue but hope it's not another Connor Sammon scenario. Remember he had one awesome season for Killie ( assisted by Eremenko) , went down south for large transfer and then not done much since.
Thats our usual turnover per season 15/16 out 10/12 in
As for Bair I think his numbers will probably drop off with the departure of Spittal looking more and more likely so I'd take a 500K+ Fee this summer and try find the next 1 tbf to our scouts they tend to find some fairly decent STS

I like the way you've laid it out @thewelllfan. My only challenge is from current squad you'd retain 10 players, and I don't have confidence that the club have the nouse to replace it with better quality.
FWIW I completely agree about S'OD, Paton, Mugabi not being first team picks. Lots of plaudits for how improved Mugabi has been but persona view is he can't read the game, get's caught flat footed, wrong side of players all the time. (appreciate others disagree)
We should have a first-team squad of 20+ youth players so only 10 albeit with Daws heading the recruitment might be a bit audacious for the most part 1/3 of his signings come good.

Sorry but Bevis has been outstanding for us recently and his efforts on Saturday confirmed to me he is more than worth a new deal also figure in the fact he is good for a few goals a season 100 percent keep!
I agree recently he has been brilliant however I'd still let him go I feel there's plenty of good Central Defenders in the free agent pool this summer and Mugabi is always a bit of a liability again if he stayed as a squad player I wouldn't overly mind

That’s a bit brutal . There are some players worth keeping around to help the overall squad .
Likes of Paton , Kelly , S’OD and Mubagi have all added value .
Disagree mate needs a refresh and introduction of a bit of quality Mugabi is fine as a squad player but he struggles to pass the ball 10 yards at times. The rest have been poor most of the last 2 seasons

At least theres a little something to take away from toay, Bevis is a good defender most games and today i think he was great
I'm not usually his biggest fan purley for the fact he makes passing the ball 5 yards look difficult but he was probabaly our best player today
-
Those subs are absolutley comical. Mugabi handlwd Idah pretty well for the most part and he puts Butcher on. On the Manager once again.

Obika in the team is like starting with 10 men, he offers nothing, Vale has a lot more pace than Obika so id keep him up front with Bair.
I agree normally but against a team like Celtic who struggle aireally he could be very useful
-
I Have no hope at all Id start
Oxborough
Mcginn Blaney Casey
Devine Miller Davor Gent
Spittal
Bair Obika (Purley because he can hold the ball up)
-
Oxborough
Mcginn Blaney Casey
Devine Davor Halliday Gent
Spittal Nicholson
Bair
Would be my choices

Also we should sign that Oakley of them boy was brilliant bullied our defence.

Its been a decent window as a whole,
Like the Nicholson and Halliday signings.
The loans are all punts so here's hoping they do well and we'll see what Elliot can offer once he's fit.
But i do feel we're still light up top and lacking an experienced CB to organise the 3

surley there's 1 done and they'll announce it tommorow

If we don't get a striker in just can't really see us avoiding that relegation play off squads now
Kelly/Oxborough
Mcginn/SOD/Butcher/Casey/Blaney/Mugabi
Devine/Elliot Miller/Davor/Paton/Halliday/Maguire/Slattery(INJ) Montgommery/Gent/Jill
Spittal/Nicholson
Bair/Vale/Obika
Still short of a St and an experienced cb

What's the difference in prize money between 4th, 5th and 6th place?
Between 5th and 6th will be massive those 2 euro ties bring in big money for the clubs
-
Well that's why the folk in charge have to start making the right appointments so we don't have to sack them. Whatever idiot gave Alexander that new deal basically crippled the club.

Tbf our lucks no exacly been in
Spencer and Mika getting recalled has killed us a bit.
Even at that though surley Gent and halliday could cover LWB after Montgommery got injured.
We're needing a cb that can play in the middle of the 3 and actually organise them aswell as at least 1 st and 2 if Vale goes Notts County bit of a write off this season just get 10th and rebuild this squad next season
-
So if Vale goes we need 2 strikers and a cb through the door before half 11 tonight aswell as this LB were taking a gamble on

If this Jack Vale thing is true is actually cba anymore

Hopefully with the new investment coming in to the club we can maybe afford 1 or 2 better players for next season. If we sell Miller this summer we should be looking for upwards of the Turnbull fee as he's a great prospect.
The squad needs a fair bit of surgery in my opinion.
Only players I'd be desperate to keep are Bair, Miller and Vale made permanent. Spittal would be here but off to Hearts. Would be surprised if they didn't all receive far more appealing financial offers.
Definetley need a overhaul in Defence and Midfield who knows maybe Kettlewell will even change formation. Either way hopefully we get into the top 6 and manage to sneak into 5th for a wee European tour next season.
