As is said in the other thread. If Balmer goes, and Slattery's injury we need further bodies in. 

Left back cover, Center Backs, Midfield   

Suppose there is always players out of contract, but the deadline is fast approaching.

Harry paton might still be available.

We have quite a few midfielders, and a few players who can cover in mid (like SOD), so if I had to choose, I'd still be looking at defenders first.

I know it doesn't always work that way, however, as we can only sign who is available and wants to join.

I think if Balmer goes, we sign one centre back. Also wouldn't be surprised if we signed a left sided centre back who can also play left back (like Charles Dunne, except good) so making it one defender brought in rather than two..

Might see a midfielder but with the arrival of Priestman and McGhee able to play defensive midfield, thr manager may feel he has Just for attacking midfield and can move Fadinger forward to it if required...

I know managers always say this but the manager (and Caldwell the other day) made mention of getting the right players. And we haven't signed many jersey fillers this summer. Wondering if that might mean that JBA would rather go with what he has rather than sign the 'wrong' player...

If true, we dont know what has been said behind the scenes. Perhaps it was always the intention to sell him this window, as he was never going to resign another contract. Hearts splashed £1.5/7m on a player and Hibs £1m bench warmer, lets us see what we are competing against. 

We do need some more bodies in.

Goalie? If the manager doesn't feel Oxborough is good enough with the ball at his feet...

Goalie has been a priority for me since JBA’s style of play become evident in the league cup opener against Clyde. Hopefully we are trying to move Ox on and bring in a quality replacement. That and an assured centre half top of my wishlist.

Rumours in the other place that Slattery has been sold!  Hope it is not true.

They don't always get it right  over there - why would we sell one of our best midfielders when we've just had the Lennon Miller sale?

If we want a Gk Darren Randolph is a Free Agent get him back in between the sticks.

If you're looking at former players and after a goalie with good distribution, I gather Trevor Carson is unhappy being second choice at Dundee...

Apparently his agent has been touting him about all summer. Hopefully if he does go it’s for good money.

I've never heard that re Slattery. I agree but I would find it strange if he moves on now
