Also hearing that Watt has agreed personal terms with Samsunspor so it’s now down to the clubs to agree the fee. 

I have no inside info whatsoever, but this seems a peculiar move, if true. I'd be looking for somewhere between £2m and £3.5m for him.

Totally agree that it would be a strange move, their head coach is German, most of their coaches are Turkish, they have no British or Irish players so I’d assume there’s a bit of a language barrier with the squad, money talks though.

If we lose Watt , Just and TW it could be a challenging period ahead . 
 

Very different to the team without McGinn, Welsh , Slattery and then these 3 top players. 
 

For a new manager replacing our best manager in donkeys years it’s an uphill challenge . 
 

Ideally sort the outgoings and incomings  at a decent lick

That's one of the pitfalls of telling everyone we are a selling club.

As last season we had an exceptional manager and some excellent players. The model is we sell them,make money ,replace them and start again. It will always be thus.

The issue we face now is not so much sourcing replacements as bringing in match fit players. We have our first Conference League game in just under 3 weeks and our first league game in about 4. How fit will will our newcomers be without a pre season with us? How long will it take them to get up speed? Thats been our issue many times before and was always going to be our issue this time round.

Replacement solutions for Slattery and Welsh should have been lined up weeks ago. If not, we’re heading into the Conference League qualifiers half-cocked. With McGinn now injured and Gordon choosing to go elsewhere, the immediate priorities have to be two centre-backs and a creative midfielder. And that’s before even considering the possibility of losing and replacing Just, Maswanhise and Watt.

Honestly think it'll be Monday before we here about any incomings as thats when the team are back from Denmark

Keeping in mind by this point last season ie the twente game we had a very different lineup then to what we did have come the start of the season

Don't see any way round it if a manager and players do well...dont think players let their fitness drop the way they did in the past
