Best for both parties.

A bit like Stama, just hasnt worked out.

Also too injury prone to be serviceable for us.

If the Saintees want him we should facilitate this.

If St Johnstone want Hendry I wouldn't stand in his way, can see Liam Gordon going there as well to be honest.

This summer we are probably going to have a rebuild on our hands again with the amount leaving on frees or players who may be sold.

At the moment we should be signing :

- 2 x New CB (Welsh goes back to Celtic, Gordon and Balmer OOC)

- 1 x LB (Longelo needs competition and Wilson is probably not Premiership level)

- 1/2 CM (Need 1/2 CM Watt may leave and Whyte may not sign a new deal).

- 2 AMF (If Just leaves and Slattery doesn't sign a new deal)

- 1 RW

- 1 LW

-2 x ST (If Hendry and Maswanhise leave)

Players Leaving :

Slattery, Gordon, Balmer, Nicholson, Robinson, Halliday - Contract Expiry

Oxborough, Wilson - Loaned out/Released

Stama, Maswanhise, Just, Watt, Hendry - Potentially sold.

Welsh - Returns to Celtic.

Hendry like Cook always seemed to be injured. Hard for them to get a run in the team never mind finding form.

Every signing is a risk. Can we take the risk next season on them being fit?

Maybe best to try something different.

See Theo Bair has been loaned out to Swiss Club Lausanne Sport. 6 goals in 13 games a decent start but unsurprisingly he didn't have it for the French top league.

Any thoughts on ward being with us/ not being with us next season? Haven't heard anything concrete, but hard to imagine his ability to play combined with the clean sheet record going unnoticed. No idea what sort of fee he could command either.

He was a one season wonder, that we cashed in on at the right time.

I wouldn't think there will be queues of clubs after him. Much of our clean sheet record was down to our style of play.

Correct and I'm starting to think we should do the same with Manwanhise

I think if a bid came in the 1.5/2M range he'd be off. He's been good for us but I feel he always has a mistake in him. If he is off I'd be having a look at Prior from Livi or McCracken at Dundee who's OOC. Oxborough also was a solid enough keeper for us when he was starting last season so I wouldn't mind him getting another go.
