ForeverBlue1872 463 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Ryan McGowan, Vuckic, the full-back playing for ICT, Scott Allan. Graeme Shinnie? He looks like some player for ICT, shame he's going with the sheep in the summer, would have been a great signing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibrox_Nights 429 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 There's nothing wrong with taking a punt on a young, out of contract player with a decent record from the Championship IMO. Dundee Utd have shown that it's a market where you can find talented players if you do your homework. You have just as much chance of finding a Griffiths, McKay-Steven or a Robertson as you do of finding a Clark. Totally agree this is a route we should be trying to look at and hopefully with a scouting network implemented sometime soon this can be a route we can go down. That said, for every Robertson there are dozens of failures and never had-its. Not too many have come from the lower regions (in a first team squad) and made it to play for us or that mob. What worries me; if the promised investment doesn't materialize and we end up signing a load of frees from the Championship and the like, making that the rule rather than the exception - with the expectation being for us to challenge the MM within a relatively short time frame - I think we'd be fucked.

The Monk 3,207 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 No idea what kind of money well have but hoping Cummings, Allan, Sibbald, May, Vuckic and Ferguson are all on our shortlist, wouldn't mind us taking a chance on Streete either.

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Difficult to say who we could sign until we know what our budget is. I dare say there's a few in this thread with their heads in the clouds as far as some of the suggestions so far go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figo 91 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 The best keeper we can find. Sorry but Cammie Bell is a nightmare at cross balls... How about young Christie at ICT. Played a blinder against them last weekend. Quite like the look of their wing backs as well, shinnie and the scouser.Christie is looking like he will be going to West Bromwich...

MacBoyd 5,439 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I an judging this on promotion to the spl. I think we will get in the region of 5 to 10m to spend on transfer fees and if spent correctly we could challenge a poor celtic side. It can be very easy to catch up in the spl as O'neil big eck and Walter have proved recently. Those saying it will take 7 years are wrong imo. Massive job though.Out - everyone of of contract bar mcgregor. In - wilsonAllenMayDorrans HuttonAlukoAnyaMackie Mcgregor (I know)vuckic These players are realistic and wouldn't cost a bomb in transfer fees. We should play a 433/451 next season A Mcgregor Hutton D Mcgregor Wilson WallaceDorransAllen Murdoch MackieMayAlukoUnfortunately these players we have now might not get us up tho...

onefootwillie 1,518 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 No chance of any EPL player they would be on huge wages. McGregor has a contract and the fee would be in the millions as would Hutton Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

docspiderman 1,228 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Does anyone really think that we will have any money to use in the transfer market never mind 5 to 10 million?I think our wage bill will have to fall dramatically as well.

GraP 1 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 What if we don't get up. Would anyone deserve a new contract? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Check edited post£10 Million on transfer fees, now we move onto the wages. Hutton will probably be on about £20k a week. Mackie will be on the same, if not more, since he previously played for QPR who just hand out money.Anya must be on at least £10k a week.Vuckic is apparently on similar.McGregor won't be on less after he left us, so make that at least £20k a week.Aluko will probably have been on 5k-7k while in the Championship and they usually have a bonus in their contract which doubles it when they're promoted, so again at least 10k a week.Allan and May, we could probably afford. But all that? They're not going to lower their wage demands to play for us. If you follow that rough guide that's adding £5million onto our wage bill and that's not including bonuses and such that they all get. So all in all, it's not going to happen. Also, Allan requires a fee too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
