If we lose 0-2 and Hearts draw we are tied on points and goal difference - what happens? I notice in Spain that it is not goal difference that decides but head to head - we are 2-1-1 with Hearts if it means anything.

Sorry mate, think you are clutching at straws here. Nicholason couldn't get a game for Rangers and he's a winner because he played for Dunfermline (what did they win?) Smith couldn't get games for Celtic and left and I don't think Den Haag were winners/champions. Would you say Michael Hart has a winning mentality coming from Livi having previously been punted by us?I understand what you mean by a winning mentality but you don't have to leave a successful team to be a winner.

"Experienced in leading his team to relegation?! No thanks. We've had stacks of players who were more than qualified in that department. I'm happier that we're looking at winners rather than losers." How many of our current team are winners? We should dump Anderson then since he's been with us for years when we were bottom six and crap. Don't get your logic at all - there are plenty of players on relegated teams who would be great additions to our team.

Am I the only one not overly excited about one of our main transfer targets being a 33 yr old whose best position is right back. What will we get, one or two seasons max?

This is a tough one - we stick it out, lose the player, and end up with a no use umpteenth choice player who does nothing (we've signed a few of them.) However, we stuck it out over the Lee Miller deal and got him for free - who would have ever thought we'd get him on a freebie. Saying that though, I'd rather Milne forked out some dough - the boy is a high earning club captain and from what I gather a respected player - 70k doesn't seem much for an experienced leader, and we certainly lack ballsy hardcnuts tough tackling leaders on the park.

Since we are skint and have to be realistic, think any of these players are worth a look? All from relegated clubs who may look to offload to possibly an affordable wage- Richie Partridge – wide mid - rotherham utd Stephen Crainey – left back - leeds urd Eddie Lewis – wide mid - leeds utd Steve Hammell – left back - southend utd Steven Schumacher – attack mid - bradford All seem to be have been decent at some point I think......

I seem to recall Strachan and McLeish having shameful attempts at a tash.

Since we seem to be avoiding Rae and Kerr, is Michael Stewart any good? I think it's more than an ability issue at Hibs but rather a clash with Collins. Another freebee that cannot be worse than Dempsey, MacAuley, or Winter me thinks.

Surely both must be reasonable targets given they will be free agents. Even though Rae has stated he may go south, a decent contract from his home club may sway him, plus Kerr has suggested he'd move on if they didn't keep McDonald. With Dempsey, MacAuley, and Winter going/gone could we afford both? While I understand Jimmy wants wingers, losing these 3 and Seve being injury prone leaves us pretty thin in the middle.
