Our Current contracted 23/24 squad looks like Gk- Kelly, Oxborough Cb- Mugbai,Butcher,Blaney, Lamie Cm- Slattery, Maguire, Miller Rwb- O'Donnell Lwb-Mcginley Cam- Spittal, Tierney, Danzaki St- Van Veen, Shields That looks worrying.

OBika was a loan Mandron was a 6 month deal

If thats the case im not too bothered losing either always thought efford was a decent player

Aitchison signed an 18 month deal if i remeber correctly thought efford had another year aswell

Hope we release the retained list soon hope we can keep hold of Casey, Mcginn, and Cornelius wouldn't mind O'Donell staying either

Really Hope Morris is let go and we loan out Tierney if hes not going to play.

What goalscorer are we going to atract? weve already got 8 contracted attacking players for next season in Van Veen who's off, Efford,Shields,Atchinson,Tierney,Spittal,Danzaki,Morris In that group the only 2 who have performed are KVV and Blair Spittal we need 2 strikers imo and Fletcher could defintley get 10 goals for us with the amount we create. As for his age i dont mind the odd punt but upfront we need a guy whos got a bit eperience if we want to execute the current style of play suspect Moult will also be coming back and them 2 up front could at least keep us up.

Ewan Wilson is the one closest apparently from what we heard under Hammell believe he is A Lb

If were losing Van Veen id honestly love Steven Fletcher on a free might not have had a great season at Utd but his Link up Play and movement is far better than that of Obika and Mandron also would happily take Levitt of Utd if he were available.

Im sure we can find a buyer at that price 25 goal striker shouldnt come cheap Nisbet will go for 3-4m should at least get half of that for KVV.

Dont think hed come personally want Furlong back for another season

Thinking about the upcoming season and assuming we keep the 352 shape what areas would you improve Kelly/Oxborough Mcginn/Mugabi Butcher/New Cb Blaney/Lamie New RWB/New Rwb Slattery/New Cm Goss/Maguire/Miller Mcginley/New LWB Spittal/Danzaki/Tierney Van Veen/Shields Efford/Aitchinson Looks like the squad we have contracted with only assuming Mcginn and Goss renewing who would you bring in to improve us

How would it not be that money sets us up for 2-3 years he gets his move not pricing him out of one in my opinion

I say we hold out for 2-3M you can laugh all you want but if he was at Celtic thats the least they'd get for him

Anyone in the SPL whos contract is running out you think well be looking at? (realistic)

Don't think he'll go there he'll go abroad and if the Chinese windows open during the summer can see him heading their for a pay day

We'll probably lose alot of our important players in the summer suspect we'll be losing between 12-15 players this summer and bringing in around 10 or so suppose the type of player will be dependant on what formation Kettlewell wants to play next season

thats good to know hes been great since he came in could do with him or someone like him in midfield aswell

Realistically outside Van Veen, Johnston who will likely go and Butcher and Casey is there anyone you'd be desperate to keep? Would be intrested to hear who and why.

Is it just me that thinks we should be playing the youth players were basically safe and theres no difference in finishing 7-10th to us get minutes into Lennon and see where he is Luca Ross seemed close under Hammell so why not give him a go weve got nothing to lose and a lot of the current players need to bet let go off

good job were not Hibs then

1 million for Van Veen id let him go hes not getting any younger and gives us some cash to re-invest come the summer we realistically should be safe if we win 2 more games this season.

Well id assume we renew Johnston and sell him on for a big fee at some point in the next year or so. Kelly will have a couple of suitors down south and apparently there is intrest in KVV in Holland so it wouldn't surprise me if we take a fee for him either. Well also have some money albeit not a lot for new arrivals and the reason i wouldn't give Kettlewell the permanent job is we need someone to find gems in the lower leagues and use the loan market to get a better quality of player.

Disagree its like a trial period for the club allows them to see his impact across half a season and the club need sellable assests so will be determined to keep the youngsters like Johnston and Deano and our good players like kvv beyond the end of the season personally would be happy to let all of their contracts run out bar the young players and kvv as theyve been pish all season and let a new manager put his own stamp on the squad

Id give him the gig to the end of the season and get in a new manager then no point just appointing a manger to get us out of bother and have no real direction going forward
