Or he wants rid of Zanatta.
Or he intends for Brown to play more at Centre Back until Lang is fit, necessitating Easton playing as a 6/8 instead of a 10, so Ross moves into 10.
If that is the case for brown then surely Brad would be playing the deeper role as that’s what he’s best at (obviously when he’s back if course)

Either Murray wants 4 wingers for competition or moving one of the other wingers into another position or IF the rumours of Ethan Ross is true then be a massive downgrade imo but we will get good doe for him

IF true about Ross we should demand a big fee for him as we hold all the cards but I’d rather keep him than get the boy from hibs in he’s done f**k all at Killie or Inverness bit underwhelming and be a Dario 2.0

Do we? We have Berra and a returning Lang. For short-term cover we have Brown, Dick and Masson. If the budget is a concern, as it seems to be, I suggest we will see one CB in, preferably one that can cover RB (Oh, why did we let Big Dave go, eh?
) in a pinch, although Dick has ventured there too before…but would be less than ideal, especially as it leaves us with Young and no cover at LB.
Ideally speaking, we would like 4 or 5 CB on the roster. Our current options cover 4, counting Lang and Brown, so I’d be surprised if we didn’t plan on possibly trying to find a loan CB over the next couple of months after we sign one more CB soon. However, with Berra and Lang clearing being the intended starting pair, it may be difficult to get a top quality loanee, as a starting wouldn’t be assured.
Scrap this Make shift pish!!!!!! Browns better in midfield, Masson isn’t anywhere near ready and Liam Dick is pish defensively both at LB and CB, Lang is too much of a risk just throwing him in there he needs at least a month or 2 to get fitness/match time we need at least 2 and on the Loanee situation you could be right but what IF Lang comes back and gets another long term injury these things need considered

Ex Loanee Kai Kennedy been linked with a Loan Move to Falkirk, I think he will do well League 1 level as he’s not really done it at the championship with Us, Dunfermline or Hamilton

Indeed, I think there have been 3 signings announced in the division since the beginning of last week and all are unknowns from England, which seems to be becoming the market of choice for clubs in the championship. The market up here in Scotland is absolutely dead.
Because Paul Hartley is taking every Scottish player and their dug to Hartlepool with him

I’m looking at a few signings In this division and most teams have signed people from down south/ league 1 or 2 up here because there’s no real quality in this league at CH or Forward areas. (Also Hartley signing every single player in Scotland doesn’t help either)
we all know Murray needs at least 2 CHs but getting the right ones for his style of play/quality will be a bit difficult as I said yesterday the premiership teams are back in training and playing games so it will be maybe 2/3 weeks before anything concrete happens in the loan market

It’s clear there are reasons why Musonda and Benny left the club when you consider we don’t have enough centre half’s but it certainly paints a picture when a Zambian internationals best gig is Ayr United no disrespect to Ayr , Ian Murray is not daft he knows where we need to strengthen but do we need another Riley snow a panic signing like last year and IMO gullen was a panic signing aswell offering a 2 and a half year deal with little in return so far . Hopefully lessons have been learnt from last season by the club regarding desperation signings and I would rather go with what we have and sign the right player rather than squander what little money we have on shirt fillers just to make fans like myself a bit more happier
Riley Snow wasn’t really a panic signing it was more like a Gamble signing and unfortunately it never paid off, the real panic signing last season was he who shall not be named on January 31st

Quite a few CBs on that list that could be good for us apart from 1 that dumplin Efe Ambrose keep him as far away as possible

I could be wrong but can loan players not still play for the b teams similar to how the u21s work? They wouldn't be available to us for the cup games in that case but it's no real loss.
Yes I think Cooney did when he came was still playing U21 with Dundee United same with Kai Fotheringham this is just 2 players from the top off my head btw

There does need to be some movement soon, no doubt but I wouldn't be surprised if it's only one in the CB position and then not even in time for P'Heid. Unless the trialist striker starts showing up a lot better (and let's face it, that's unlikely) then my guess is the striker signing likely will be a loanee with probably half the championship fighting over the same same three names.
I’m not having a go by any means, but 1 CB ain’t enough we need 2 in case of Berra picks up an injury or Lang does his ACL again then we’re back to a makeshift back 4 which was part of the reason why we never secured playoffs, whether that a 1 permanent CB in and 1 loan or 2 permanents.
as for the striker position we need at least 2 there as well because no one knows how Vaughan is going to be when he’s back there’s more work to be done than you think

A lot of premiership teams are already back in pre season training and playing friendlies/bounce games already so if we are looking at the loan market for a CH or forward then I think it will be the next week or 2 before anything is clear/rumoured to be on that front

Hopefully not of the quality of Adam cooney from United and if true about Lang that is good news
The Lang news was said on the K107 radio show that apparently Lang was ahead of schedule because had an extra procedure done and could be back sooner than expected but just take it with a pinch of salt the now until himself or the gaffer says it
1 -
I think we might get a permanent CH from down south or even abroad, 1 Loan CH from the premiership sides or maybe a versatile defender that can play along the back 4, apparently Lang is well ahead of schedule and could be back sooner than expected but won’t be rushed type thing

new players do we actually need. maybe 2. a cb and a striker.
Imo I think we need at least 4…… 2 cbs as we can’t wait forever with Lang and No guarantee Berra can play every game, 2 strikers (1 on loan) we can’t pin our hopes on Vaughan and Jamie Gullan can’t play up on his own I still think we need 4 at least

Our creativity was poor with Connolly and especially Easton having poor games,
Tbf to Dylan Easton he was playing in a 2 man midfield and asked to do a lot more defensive work than he normally would, he never had brown or Stanton covering for him to get forward and create

I see Ryan Schiavone who was the trialist the other night has signed for East Fife today, hopefully see a bit more squad movement this week. Did young play well today?
Aye Young played ok, he had Higginbottom in his back pocket but Kelty scored a screamer

I think we'll see Murrays prefered line up next Saturday, we can't read too much into these pre season games but it is a tad concerning regarding the back line
Hopefully he’s got a CH by next Saturday as that back line gives me the fear if he’s thinking about
1 -
Murray’s comments in the FFP are quite concerning saying that he’s in no rush to sign anyone, I think he’s struggling to get someone in that he sees fit in his style, or there’s no one there in our price range.
we will be going into the season with 4 defenders 3 full backs Liam Fucking Dick at CH, what if a defender gets injured are we just going chuck Masson in the deep end? I don’t mind waiting but if your barebones in 1 position then it’s a risk you can’t afford to take imo

Agreed, he should be brought back in slowly. Not chucked back into starting games. That probably means us needing two forward players and two CBs to come in.
I felt last season when he came back he was rushed back too quickly and just chucked into the starting 11 if I’m correct he started most pre season and the first 4 league games and most of the cup ties, that’s a lot of football for someone just back.
hopefully Murray and Aggy does the right thing and gradually integrate him back in

Nothing new to learn. Sticking a number 9 on Gullans back won't cut it, nor will sticking Young at left back and playing Dick at centre half. But isn't new information.
I think Gullan will benefit with another striker playing next too him and we all can see he can’t play up top on his own and looks lost

Aye he did because he played on the left against Qos Zanatta on the right and against Kelty Connolly take zanattas place and kept Ross on the Left
