RicoS321 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 How long's Bavidge out for? We're going to need a striker. Might have to wait for Miovski to leave before we get a proper one. In the meantime, it's either Alfie or a lamppost ahead of Gueye and Ambrose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wee toon red Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I see there's talk that Liverpool want to loan out Ben Doak. Given our previous dealings with them, I wonder if there's any chance? Exactly the type of player we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely WTR, however unfortunately there is also chat that at least three Premiership teams are after him and pretty sure most Championship teams wouldn't mind getting him as well. Shame as he'd be an exciting player to watch in red (AFC red that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's slightly different with a guy like McGrath though, he's of an age where he won't be getting a move to a significantly bigger club. I think he'll have other priorities, like family or maybe wanting to expand his horizons (or not) or whatever. Realistically, this is the first point at which we'd have opened talks with the change in management anyway, so I don't think it's a case of running down a contract. He's basically put himself in the position where he can expect a deserved pay rise. If his family (if he has one) are settled here, then I'd expect him to stay, but otherwise I would expect him to keep his options open and see what's out there. He doesn't owe us anything and he's not a young lad. If Thelin gets him enjoying his football then that'll have a big factor on his decision.

Yep spot on Only thing is maybe his big chance to make "big" money In this form, he will get a good move no problem I really, really like him But his mouths a bit narrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I was trying to remember how long that took. Slightly different situation though, given that we're a trusted club with over 100 years of history, not some new start with an unsustainable business model and no stadium. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Evening Express linking us with a loan move for 19 year old Chelsea midfielder Leo Castledine. As I said before woukd rather give game time to one of our own players than than develop a player for somebody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he moves to Scotland on loan, it is likely to be to the Huns I'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
