He lacks a football brain but he has the raw attributes to make an impact at this level, which he has done this season with a number of assists and a couple of goals. And while it doesn't come natural to him there has been the odd disciplined performance that has improved the balance of the side. With the right coaching he could prove to be a right handful at this level. He strikes me as someone that could hit a purple patch, like Humphrey in his early days, and attract interest.

Decent enough looking start. Glad our first home game isn't midweek. At least we should benefit from a good St Mirren turnout. 7 games in January. 2 in March!? Obviously there is the Scottish Cup and international break to factor in but it seems daft to plan so many games for January. Celtic twice away again.

McFadden needs replacing. Despite not meeting expectations last season he contributed significant a to our points tally from Christmas onwards. A forward/winger, particularly in the absence of Moore, and a centre half and we're sorted.

Good work keeping him here. His technically ability shone through last season and with a pre-season behind him, he has the ability to kick on and be a key player. Shame it's just a year as I think if he stays fit and focused, he's the type of player you can make money from. Once we get Butke in, we'll be flying.

Great news for Hutch. One of my all time favourites and a deserved move.

Despite the Celtic strip picture, I never really held it against Pearson. He was just a Celtic daft boy with an absolute cunt of an agent. McKay was pulling the strings when Leicester were reportedly interested and Pearson stopped performing. If he's over his injury problems, I'd love him back at Fir Park.

Burke would be an amazing signing. Surely no.

Chris Burke? Supposedly turned down Birmingham in search of a final big payday in the Championship.

Would expect the club to notify us of the Hollis, Hutchinson and Ainsworth situations soon enough.

Increase in ST price, increase in Euro ticket prices, £800k society target for November. I 'd say we are being squeezed pretty tight. All because we stood our ground against Rangers...

Fans are being fleeced with these prices. £25 should be reserved for the playoff round. I know the financial constraints but there is no chance of enticing many fair weather fans at they prices. The pricing structure at the time of the Breidablik/Aalesunds/Odense run was far more sensible and delivered big crowds.

Maybe we'll end up with his brother Hindrek one day.

Glad to see Thomas, Neill and Higgins signed up. Are they 1 year deals? All the best to those released.

Pleased to see the Leitch deal done, hopefully he develops into playing a pivotal role over the next 2 years. Can't see Boyd coming here either but he'd be a fantastic addition. Much more than a goalscorer these days and seemingly a good influence off the park.

Slightly odd piece from the BBC.

Even if Ainsworth signs, I hope there is a few quid to cover an alternative attacking option in the absence of McFadden and Moore. Unless of course, Erwin and/or Thomas are ready to make the step up.

Delighted he got a 2 year deal. In terms of fitness, he continues to lead by example. There would be nothing more beautiful than seeing Lasley lift the Scottish Cup.

According to Sun, Derby and Birmingham the options for Hutchinson. Derby would be a right good move at this moment in time.

Good news regarding Moore. Nice to see us being proactive in securing the future of arguably our hottest prospect.

Not seen much of McNaughton in the last year or so but up until then he was one of Cardiff's most impressive performers. I can't see him bring available though after Solskjaer gave him a contract extension a few months ago.

Who would be willing to pay a development fee for him though? Do we therefore not offer him a contract as the likelihood is he would accept it and maybe McCall doesn't think he's worth it? Potentially a similar situation to Hateley where we couldn't afford to offer him a contract despite being eligible for a development fee. I'll be pleased if we get Leitch on a 2 year deal and sort out the Thomas situation.

Man City are reportedly offering Sagna £150k a week. Wonder what McCalls deadline is for contract offers. Thought Lasley would have been signed up by now.

Aye Butcher couldn't see the quality in Lasley. Used to do my head in to see him shunted to the right. Not that Butcher will be at Easter Road for much longer.

If there is any chance of Sam Stanton leaving Hibs on a free, I hope we make enquiries. He's got a fair bit of talent from what I've seen.

Think he's still got a year on his £15k a week contract.
