After I put on here that Kerr McInroy's dad was following the club on Twitter before he joined on loan I remember someone moaning on Twitter how it somehow ruined their transfer deadline day so now just avoid directly naming names and drop hints instead. Feel free to message me if you want to know but it's not that exciting. Lyall Holding? No I know he was U18's POTY and is a CB so possibly involved since Musonda's not back yet.

If the blonde boy is who I think then he only turned 18 less than 3 months ago. Assuming the level will be a step up too.

Think I worked out one. He is from abroad but got a UK passport too. Be surprised if he was a being considered as a starter for this season though. Tried with the other but difficult to work out without knowing his position.

Doubt the bottom one would visit White City, looks more of an Eastern Suburbs type of person.

One between Ecrepont and Reading doesn't appear to have a number. The one on the end is I think Lyall Holding.

O.Ecrepont and Watret are included already. Viviani is correct though he's between Reading and F.Ecrepont. Unsure on the blonde boy behind Donovan and the one on the end but doubt it's anyone exciting.

Guthrie, Jenkins and I think Tomlinson. Guessing the other 3 on the right are U18s.

Comparing the face Armatey is next to Stanger and McAllister, also the other guy has a trialist look about them. Assuming the players in the back corner are standing on something as none are the same height as McGinty in person.

Bit of an exaggeration. Bullen has a say in who we sign whether you want to believe it or not and isn't being handed anyone. Can twist the narrative to suit whatever the agenda is this week but surely you don't genuinely think the manager of every other club in world football personally scouts every signing they make.

First one I found was Ndaba the season he trained and then it turned out he couldn't sign. Although given his recent transfer I'm now going to rename it the Sinisalo mum rule. He did mention his dad was a Rangers fan after the semi final but unsure who he qualifies for NI through as his family are from Corby, so before anyone thinks it he's not signing for us as it's closer to the ferry.

TBH it's not as glamorous as it sounds. You see a lot of weird stuff that your eyes can't unsee.

99% sure it's today. On mine the first 20 followers always seem to be Ayr fans and the latest follower is 21st. He's 23rd although no idea if that logic works for other people.

Haha, I've had 3 this summer already so you can have this one since I never put 2+2 together earlier.

Essentially you probably just Google the words Pendlebury Slough and see what turns up.

Not sure taking selection advice from Scot Gemmill is the way to go. Some of his line ups during that campaign were embarrassingly bad including playing full backs as wingers on both sides

Us bothering to make an offer for Graham would seem strange considering he was already under contract to 2024 and he's manager of their women's team in the top flight which we couldn't offer.

As I said yesterday he had a good 21/22 season but possibly the jump up two levels for him last season was too big so hopefully people don't write him off straightaway based on that.

Such a player does exist. Seems to only score screamers and takes free kicks so hopefully he can stand and watch while Reading takes them.

Was optimistic when he signed given McCall had turned a few careers around but sadly the site which listed him as the best player in the world at 15 will be disappointed that ten years later he's playing for Falkirk in L1. Suppose the English equivalent would be a former U16 captain that was once linked with someone like Chelsea and has ended up in non-league, which actually sounds like our ideal signing if such a player existed.

More of a guess who I think it is rather than definite. That player in question had a successful 21/22 season and stepped up a couple of levels last season but ended up having 3 loan spells down a level.

At least people aren't going to look at the stats from last season of our new signing and write him off before seeing him...

Seems too much of a coincidence that VoR article appeared 20 minutes before the tweet so likely in reference to offers mentioned in that in some way. Maybe at his next club he should put a release clause in if he doesn't intend to stay for the full length so he has an easier get out.

It's a lazy assumption that a player is only worth what a club is willing to pay for them. In fact a player is worth what you can get someone to pay for them. It could be argued that plenty teams expectations in January will be different now heading into a new season. A team sitting mid table will want to push on, teams promoted need to strengthen and relegated teams will want to bounce back. Doubt many on here know what Ayr value Dipo at but I think £250k is still achievable as a large part of his goals drying up was our formation change which left him isolated for long spells so only ourselves to blame.

The only certainty when fans start talking about budgets they don't know much about is that if half of them were in charge of the club we'd be in administration by Christmas.

Was less a dig about the talent in the lower leagues and more a joke in reference to our next signings seemingly being from down south and the open day being on Saturday so I doubt it would be a secret for long even if we tried to announce someone that day who nobody's heard of. Lower leagues in England is probably similar to the old juniors here where players stick to a safety zone and don't take many risks. Most youth players we released went to Ayrshire clubs for various reasons rather than an Albion Rovers or Dumbarton type.
