Rumour on P & B that Callum Hendry may move back to St Johnstone in the summer. 

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.

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.

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. 

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.

I think if a bid came in the 1.5M 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.

Just my opinion but if we got offered over a million then take it. I have never been a huge fan and if JBA wants keepers to be an extra outfield player then better options out there.

I've only watched him a few times but he's been good most of those times he's earned Dundee 4 points against us by making some big saves in the games, made a few decent saves in the derby game I watched and the game they beat Celtic. He's also young and Scottish so we could make some money from him if we can platform in a way he takes 1 of the back-up keeper slots in the National Team.

Agree with your reasons pal, just not for me

Can't say I've been paying much attention to opposition keepers, but had a wee look at their passing accuracy stats for the last couple of games.

Ward was between 70-80%, McCracken 50-60% and Prior around 40% for both matches.

Could be to do with how many long balls they're hitting, but given what happened with Oxborough, you'd wonder if they're the type of keeper Jens would be after.

I've not seen loads of either I've just thought both GK's have been decent in the games I've seen them in. I'd imagine both Gk's passing accuracy would improve in our side. Ox last season was a decent keeper for us before his injury and if Ward was to leave I'd be comfortable enough with Ox starting for us again. Might be harsh but Connolly is not for me at all. Too small and that performance against Aberdeen left a lot to be desired.
