McCoist wants to sit down with Wallace in Jan (transfer targets)

[CalvinC 1,414]

My only scepticism is why would it be news if it was for the summer.

[theweebluenose 4,332]

Transfer Targets? Walters old list from a few years ago?

[papaguy51 912]

I think we need to focus on getting bodies out the door in January tbh.

My worry is that everyone but Ally sees that.

[Smile 26,622]

I didnt see Sky Sports news. However, was he referring to bringing people in during January? Or was he perhaps just talking about identifying transfer targets in general. Remember we can start approaching players on pre-contract as of January 1st. Building for next season which make no mistake will be a tough league, especially if Hearts are relegated.

Hearts are weaker than us just now.

The negativity is astounding.

A football club can't stand still, it needs new players to keep pushing those in a jersey and to ship out those that are not making it. As long as we keep our overall wage bill under control, we should be looking to freshen things up.

It was noted by Derek Rae last night that Faure was suggesting he wants to leave in January if he's not getting regular football, I'm sure there are others that might be the same.

It's one of the main reasons I think we should be recruiting young players. If they don't get a shot with us, they'll want to move on. If you bring in a 30 yr old, he'll happily sit and take his pay and never play!

So a over the hill Kenny Miller taking the place of a young improving Nicky C?

Sounds like Rangers right enough.

Probably get Miller in draft him in at left back and drop Lee Wallace ....... That sound more like Rangers

Cammy Bell in the hole behind the striker.

Always holes wi you

Yeeeeeooooowwwww

[Jimfanciesthedude 24,779]

wonder what minico will say about mccoists belief that wallace will still be CEO in january

[RyanMac 185]

We need to be building for the spfl, that isn't going to happen over one window.

[Marco Negri's Beard 1,423]

If he's going to move out some deadwood, and streamline the squad, i wouldn't mind a couple of additions, aslong as they added to the quality of the squad. I'd suggest there will be absolutely fuck all money to spend mind.

[Bluepeter9 5,167]

They should sit down and discuss the situation with regards to the manager's budget, whether that means more in, some out or status quo. Actually think it would be great to get back to that rather that people thinking Ally should worry about the club finances.....he should think about his budget and that should be enough financial stuff to worry about.

I agree (I think)

I would be stunned if Ally and the Board were not going to have a chat about what could happen in January - there will (might) be players who want away - Faure has already stated he might want to move on (although he might be happier now Foster is out and he is getting a run of games) - I am sure Cribari can't be happy warming the bench and even Sheils and Templeton might want to move on. Discussing transfers is not necessarily a one way street - It would also not surprise me if some teams are showing an interest in Wallace so there might even be cash coming into the club (Lewis Macleod may also be on folks radar - although I see January as a time when teams plug gaps (so Wallace might be attractivve to teams weak at LB) but summer a time for buying deve,lopment players (like Lewis).

Ally will want to know (and should know) what financial constraints he is working under (it might even be the board NEED a sale !) so I just dont see why folks are worried that Ally might be chatting to the Chairman / bard about what will happen in January.

The 1 player I would be trying to sign wether it's this window or a future window would

be Hutton, he is the type of player we need in to keep us heading in the right direction if

we are to genuinely make a serious challenge to the mhanks.

[STEPPS BOY 74,692]

Miller and Ryan Mcgowan will be two he wants in.

I'd get rid of Cribari,Perry,Hegarty,Hutton,shiels.

Wages

[hammer93 15,065]

I honestly don't think he will be to hard to deal with, I reckon 8-10k would be reasonable

enough, the boy has made a shed load without really being settled since he left us.

As in Alan Hutton?

I would take Hutton but we already have foster and is there any need to have two highly paid, experienced RB's whilst playing at this level? The other issue is would he come? He has been poorly treated by villa but I'm sure he will feel he has something to offer a premiership team?

[The Godfather 72,437]

Hutton is not going to come to us unless we are in the top division and especially not for less than half his current wage.

[DarcheVinny 1,003]

There's no reason to sit down, other than for Wallace to say that his squad is large enough and good enough to win the Championship next season.

I'd suggest 10k a week would be rather problematic for us at the minute. Even then, if you think a guy with the ego of Alan Hutton is going to drop from 40k a week down to 10k a week (that's also assuming he's willing to drop down so many levels (and I realise he's not getting a game) at what should be the prime of his career) then, well I'd suggest you are a hugely optimistic fella!

well it looks like we have already given up the ghost of challenging the tims in the foreseeable

future, who have we to aim for at 6-8k a week to challenge.

As for Hutton I believe back at the club he didn't want to leave in the 1st place would be more settling

than getting fucked about down south.

Not Kenny miller again please! We need the deadwood out bring in young but tried and tested blood in this years championship is won so we should wait till summer
