Cheers. Interesting. Whats a fair transfer value for these players. Lauritsen has 5 months and Miovski has 11 months.

whats the stat attack for big Toby? Is he decent or a diddy?

The Russian mob Novogard (or whatever they call themselves) were in for him in January so somebody must think he's half decent.

Well it's safe to say he's not going to have come back for a week so presumably he'll be here for a while. When does the MLS transfer window open? Mid July? I can see us holding on to him till January as his transfer value may not be that different from July/August to January if it is a move to the MLS

I'm not convinced the PPV's are gone for good. Let's see what happens with these league cup games (the non tv pick ones)

I'm thinking Liverpool will give Ramsay more of a chance than most of you guys are thinking @RandomGuy. Liverpool play 60-70 games per season and some of these games are 11 or even 13 sub games. In addition to the LC there will be dead rubbers in the champs league thru the season, there will be injuries etc

He's not saying no to Liverpool. Even something like 10apps and 10 unused sub games would be a result for him this season. This move also wins him his next move if it all goes wrong eg he'll get an English Championship gig

He'd need a nickname

I believed Vinny but certainly sat starring at the screen for 3 mins when Ramadani's name appeared.

Aye good point that I had not thought about. If he was offered between £2k and £3k a week basic + expenses + bonuses, and that was a derogatory offer then aye what is he on.... Starts to paint the picture why Goodwin ended the negotiations. Hopefully plenty wages for new signings

If we sign a player from abroad you'd be hoping there is a higher chance he's been missed by others and could have a big upside. players from english championship, league one and league two have been seen by probably 100 clubs who have decided not to sign them.

If that was the list then you are hoping for Macedonia or Ukraine at Hampden followed by a home tie avoiding Italy/Portugal. Even away to some of the teams is not much different to drawing Serbia away. Hopefully ladyluck shines and we don't even play any seeded teams. The likes of Czech or Poland could very easily take a scalp in the first game.

As we are out of Europe and the League Cup it's 18 men squads and only 3 subs from here on in. Senior squad is 26 Lewis, Woods (2) Ramsay, Gurr (2) Bates, Gallagher, McCrorie, Devlin, Considine (5) Mackenzie, Hayes (2) Brown, Ferguson, Campbell, Ojo, McGeouch, Jenks, Longstaff (7) McLennan, Kennedy, Hedges, McGinn, Watkins (5) Ramirez, JET, Samuels (3) Not including Ruth, Ngwenya and Hancock etc. So you've got 6 of them not stripped every week and 12 of them not playing every week. Should be well covered to absorb 3-4 injuries every game.

I wouldn't read anything in to the lack of photos of Ferguson. It seemed like there has only been photos of a handful of the squad. Maybe 5? Less than 10 anyway?

Cosgrove and McInnes didn't speak after he turned down the France move. Big Sam and Logan will be about the only two ex players Derek does not try to re-sign when he gets his next job.

Not like Scott Burns to be beaten to the punch by Sky Sports News and the Iceman.

I'd suspect Ramsay and Mackenzie will be in the u21's when the call offs start rolling in

The pitch will hinder Qarabag more than us I think. Fingers crossed for a shitfest.

He'll be on a fair whack now so fair play to him. The Dons have been played here. We'll go hide in the corner now.

Not clear if it's going to be them clawing some of the £2M back that they put in previously but he is only on loan. So a permanent transfer will need done at some point. I don't think he'll be back providing he stays in the team and presuming there is no dramatic change in the exec management at Atlanta.

Atlanta could make a quick buck here as they owe us £850k for Hernandez in January.

Cool story that one. He won't be signing a new contract unless Hibs do something stupid like make him their best paid player in the last 20 years

He is keen on the move, and it's been discussed for a long time

I'm sure we'll know before too long if the deal is a no go this month as Hibs will come out and confirm as much. If they avoid saying anything then maybe it is a go-er? I'm sure we'd have something to say if Dundee Utd bid £500k for Ramirez or Ramsay.

No word on tv? I see Premier have announced the St Johnstone first leg and Celtic second leg but no news on any of the other ties as of yet?
