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.
