I'm a bit surprised at us taking Sammon on loan as he seems to be the same kind of player we already have. Pure speculation on my part but....could he be a replacement for an outgoing striker? Robbo recently said that we'd made offers for two strikers and were awaiting their responses and its strange that we have just received a seemingly unexpected offer for Ryan Bowman - coincidence? Would we go back to anohter target and tell him "Sorry we no longer want you"? To those who bemoan our perceived style of play this season I'd say just remember wee Tommy. When he first arrived his first few years were characterised by dull and boring sides but who were effective. Lets just wait and see this year.

Put me down for £15 Iain. Thanks again for doing this.

Rodriguez Gorrin?

He must be bad if he's even worse than John Sutton , who I was told, was Hearts' worst signing ever. This site is almost as negative as our Pie & Bovril thread and thats saying something. Give the guy a chance. If he wears C&A then he has my support.

I doubt it very much. If that were the case we'd have a string of clubs publicly denying these rumours and the club would soon earn a reputation.

Next week sometime?

Apologies Aberdeen and Celtic scuppered the change to league money distribution and voting rights. Aberdeen blocked change on the basis that they thought they'd finish second but as we all know we pipped them to it that season.

Both Hartley and Kipre are banned for this game; so we'll be forced to rearrange our defence.

Are you sure? I was always under the impression that it was only Aberdeen who torpedoed change.

Why are we posting about him on this thread? According to the Rancid and BBC he's ex Aberdeen and Dundee Utd.

His sell on fee will probably go to pay off previous "investors" as has happened with their earlier big transfer fees. I'm happy with our approach to squad building and its worked quite well.

Could they afford him??

Absolutely. Early days, very early days. Some of the "English lads" will take a month or two to settle in as Robbo said.

Nice finish from young Scott too.

Dixie Deans? 2 Scotland caps, 3 league titles with Celtic; 2 Scottish cups and a League Cup with Celtic. Appearance in European Cup semi?

Game cancelled?

Hugh Ferguson? Ian St John? Two worthy contenders to start with.

I noticed from Pie & Bovril that Shea Gordon appears to be on trial with Partick (Loan?) and Adam Livingstone is with QOS; again maybe a load deal. Can anyone confirm?

Does anyone know how the AGM went?

Of course not but its a definite factor; one of several though. At the very least it demonstrates to potential buyers that Scotland's international management rates the player. Not every decent player wins an international cap so that does say something.

Pretty much my view. I'd perhaps accept £900k + add ons. Am I right in thinking that the club calculated his development fee value at £600k? Other clubs and their fans talk up their players so why shouldn't we? If we don't get a decent offer, we should hold onto him and collect £600k next year. As the African says lets not forget he's a full international now and if he's as "mediocre" (or however you want to phrase it) as some of our fans seem to think why are bigger clubs interested in him?

Agreed. He's being brought in to remedy shortcomings in central midfield.

IF Kipre departs this window we will almost certainly look to bring in another central defender.

Moving away from purist issues like collars can anyone confirm if the claret band on the home shirt goes all the way round?

I'm expecting 1 more arrival, a striker, and perhaps 1 or 2 departures. Another youngster or 2 out on loan. But what do I know!!
