Souleycouley93 Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Every team in this league will be hard. Dunfermline/Inverness/Hamilton/Partick will all be up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Nineteen (at least) players out, including four on loan. So far, just seven in. I don't expect all 19 to be replaced and the likes of Burke, Connell and Brindley might resign. But progress on recruitment has been slow, with training recommencing in two days time. Evidence that persuading players to come to the Championship is proving difficult? Edited June 16, 2021 by skygod -3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker71 Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Last season we had a clueless nice guy in charge if decisions... This year we have an edoerienced manager who is used to buiding a TEAM and squad with a purpose and in the same market we are shopping in. Leave it to himx and imo we will have a squad which is more than capabke of getting us promoted without the supposed superstar signings. -2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting looking at one of thr blogs on transfers that there's barely been any transfers in the top flight either. Wonder if we are still in the few weeks where players go off on holiday and mull over decisions? Edited June 16, 2021 by mitch14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are dealing in the free agent market where negotiations can commence on 1 January so the groundwork could already have been underway, but relegation probably forced a major rethink. Anyway, I see Lyle, Connell and Brindley have resigned for undivulged terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I see Lyle, Connell and Brindley have resigned for undivulged terms. Most of the too flight is dealing in the free market too, to be fair, but agreed in terms of having players lined up. I get the impression we might be a lot of players second choice, ie they'll hold out for a bit to see if there's a bite in the Premiership (Don't mean all this to massively defend the club by the way, I hope we speed up too - just thought it interesting there's wasn't much movement elsewhere either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfc_superteam Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 I think as we all probably thought recruitment is difficult. As previous commentators have said clubs in Scottish football seem to go after the same players. We had this issue in the Premier league where we struggled to bring in players when other teams are interested. The delay now will be we are either waiting on players /agents. We were never going to keep up this current recruitment pace but so far we don't have anywhere near a squad with 3 and a half weeks until we play East Kilbride. The preseason get to know you trip in Ireland sounds good until you realise have the players might not be in yet. The disaster will be if we can't attract the players we need, could be a long season at that rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one sense we've done better business than I expected in terms of building a solid base, but it all rests on how we fill the remaining spots in the squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie Conman Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) I wouldn't be surprised, if a few deals have been done with currently English based players, who will appear at training on Friday No point in these Covid times, having players come up before they need to Go Conor ? (Yes, I do know we have signed a couple from down South already) Edited June 16, 2021 by Killie Conman -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
