MelvinBragg Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Possibly. However iirc McGhee suggested yesterday that he was only getting one of his no.1 targets, which I presume to be Frear. I'm therefore not anticipating much long-term thinking with the remaining signings.I thought he'd said that he had three targets but it was looking like we were going to bring in four players suggesting that one wasn't a player he had targeted for a long time. Given we've looked at a couple of keepers in training, I'd suggest Griffiths maybe wasn't someone we were looking at... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given we've looked at a couple of keepers in training, I'd suggest Griffiths maybe wasn't someone we were looking at... That's how I interpreted it as well. That at the start of the window he'd been looking at 3 or 4 positions however of the two that were supposed to be coming in yesterday only 1 of those was one of those targets that he'd anticipated strengthening. I took the additional guy to be the goalkeeper too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Club still haven't announced the deal for Zak jules yet? He's started following the club on Twitter so it's clearly a done deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dezz Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 3 at the back? Had a think about this myself but I don't know where Frear would fit in in that formation unless he is able to play LWB. I guess Jules gives us the option of 3 CB's though.

grizzlyg Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Jules highly rated and seeing as Scotland lacking in centre Half's it is chance for him to impress. Can only be good for us if he does well. Another song for Bois 'Zackety Zak.....Don't look back'......ah'll get me coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellowell Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Have said on numerous occasions he's discussing deals abroad and that came from Pearo himself has not been in discussions with us although that was 2 weeks ago said that .

Lobey_Dosser Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 If we end up with Pearson and a striker surely a few have got to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dossertillidie Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Belic and Laing are away, bowman being offered around. Don't think we would stand in Blyth's way if someone takes him. And we have a few out on loan, Thomas/Mackin etc. Space is being freed up over the weekend Also take into consideration the keeper yesterday was a straight swap for brill and on loan so there's a saving of wages there as well. I think we are being smart and boxing clever this window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelvinBragg Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 If we end up with Pearson and a striker surely a few have got to go?If we sign Pearson, it makes extending Lee Lucas' deal bizarre similar to when we extended Mark O'Brien's loan and then brought in Laing a couple of days later. Pearson returning would give us himself, Clay, McHugh, Lasley, Lucas and Cadden all, I would assume, on a first team wage. At a time when we're trying to balance the books, seems excessive...

Still a wee bit heavy in the midfield mind you, particularly when we have Campbell on the fringes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
