Decent season or two and there's definitely a chance to make some £. Injury thing is a bit of a red herring imo. Aye he's just coming back off a long absence but he was out for about a month longer than Morelos was with his groin injury. Not every signing is going to walk into the starting XI and we're unlikely to sign a CF who comes right into the side unless Roofe, Morelos and Colak all move on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The summer is where the real work will be done. There is no hiding place I expect it to be vast. If i was MB i’d be livid if no signings in January. Let’s no kid ourselves, if tarriers extend lead in league and win the treble, Beale goes into next season under real pressure. A bad start next season in league, like Gio had, and we could be back in same place this time next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 33,338 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Are any of the young lads looking good enough to step up soon? Obviously King and Devine look decent prospects for next season's Scottish trained contingent, but McCann struggles for game time. Anyone else likely to be at that level any time soon? Finding a good standard of Scottish-trained elsewhere seems like it's getting harder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldson was highly unlikely to stay and Allan McGregor had a farewell at the Cup final but both are still here If Morelos stays it’s only because nobody else wants him, time to get rid tbh or else he’d sign a new deal then only a matter of time before the toys were out the pram again, he really isn’t worth the hassle or the 40k a week he’ll be looking for.

Not substantial wages for them. His nationality, pretty clean injury record and experience will be enough to tempt some I would think. Don't think he moves to any of those clubs if there is a transfer fee involved though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
