piffer Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 2 hours ago, Alan56 said: Losing in the cup v Hibs without signing a new striker is one thing but for that to happen next weekend v hamilton might be seen by some as the club dragging their feet and not learning from last season. I’m not sure it’s quite as bad as not learning our lessons from last season or the season before for that matter. It seems a fairly unanimous opinion that all we need at the moment is a striker(or two). Look at last season and we are talking about keeper, defender, midfield and striker at this stage even after we had a fairly busy window and the remnants of what could have been a strong squad. AA’s season we felt he still needed backed in the market right up until he was sacked as he hadn’t got near the players we required. I want us to boost our attacking options but I’m more comfortable with us where we are than where we were previously. There could of course be madness in my opinion as we are looking to win a league not just compete with the rest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleycouley93 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Gullan was definitely discussed on loan. Hibs now have lost Doidge till end of October earliest so I imagine that’s out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackwilson Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Wouldn’t be surprised to see us sign Gavin Reilly until January. Works for us as a replacement backup striker until Burrell is back from injury, and works for Livi as they’re wanting him out on loan until January to get more game time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbs Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) I was told yesterday that there is talks with a striker ... and it could be a decent one. I think we might try for a 6month loan as well to cover Burrell being out. At the back we have McGowan and Sanders to fill in. Edit: If the boat needs pushed then I think the board will do so within reason. Edited August 16, 2021 by chubbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee_Eck1979 Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 How much wages are we paying Burrell? The season is only 9 months long, he is missing at least 2 months. We did this last season with the young GK and paid him till January to then go back, who's to say the same won't happen here? I'd send him back and use the wage on another player.

Doubt we will be covering much of his wage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many clubs do with loan signings, will depend on the length of time any such player is set to miss, often the parent club will want any rehab done by their staff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Althoigh he sat on the bench for 2 years at best for Sevco, any time he got on he still looked a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Departure left a sour note though and weren’t ‘Well interested. Can’t see it happening but you just never know. Why Stewart isn’t with someone else by now is a mystery. Who wouldn’t want him in our side. Maybe a deal till January to get him in the shop window for another shot at a higher level would be the tempting offer and if he enjoys till end of the season.

He has been chased from Bristol Rovers, Carlisle United and now Livingston. We cannot see him as the answer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Daily Record saying Scott Burns has five transfer exclusives. Wonder if we’ll feature. First two have been Aberdeen in for Boyle of Hibs and Celtic after another expensive unknown. Next two are Hibs looking to bring James Scott in from Hull and Dundee United looking at a Finnish striker. If other rumours on here are true then these might impact us. Final one is County signing a winger on loan from Watford. Nothing to see here Killie wise Edited August 16, 2021 by piffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebigguy68 Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Leigh griffiths needs to get away from Celtic. I’d have though Scott brown would be trying to get him to pittodrie on loan till January. I know he signed a 1 year extension but it’s unlikely to play out. Sorry wrong thread. Unless TW ready to bring him to RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
