Cillian Sheridan seems out of favour at Dundee, potentially him? Not clinical but could probably do a job for you lot. There's talk of Matthew Cudjoe wanting away from United, not a striker but definitely someone who can make something out of nothing. Nadir Ciftci is still without a club after being released by St. Johnstone in the summer, certainly a goalscorer in the Championship if he's anything like his past self. Jahmal Hector-Ingram is another who was released by St. Johnstone in the summer, he didn't actually ever play for The Saints but he scored a goal every 261' in PL2. All pretty well-known names, 3 of which on a free but if Arbroath are desperate I'm sure something can be done.

Not sure if he's played a minute at Full/Wing-Back since Fox took over.

Think he's played Centre-Back every game under Fox and it's not worked once. Who would've thought playing a guy who's 5'8 at Right Centre-Back wouldn't work... Cracking wee Midfielder too.

As long as he's not playing Centre-Back you'll be grand.

He's said recently he'd take most job offers as long as the vision/plan was right. If Caley contacted him I reckon he takes it.

If it's a Right-Back yous are needing, Liam Smith is always available.. in all seriousness, please take him back, please.

Kevin Thompson or Shaun Maloney for me. Thompson needs to further his career and Caley does that just fine. Championship football is obviously a higher level than League 2 and if he gets Caley promoted that's already a good shot at an even better level for him. Walked League 2 picking up 2.11 PPG, took a 4th Division side to the Scottish Cup RO16 beating St. Johnstone and Montrose on the way there (Both higher league opposition). Maloney just needs another shot in management. He didn't do all too terribly at Hibs - 6W 6D 7L - and he picked up 42% of available points. He got Hibs from the 4th round of the Scottish Cup to the Semi and signed Hoff Melkersen, Bushiri and Henderson who still get games for them. Got to be one of those two if possible.

After a bit of research (One google search) Levitt signed for £300k + 25% Sell on fee to Manchester United. No release clause involved.

I wouldn't think so. He signed for around £350k + Add-ons, so probably around £500k as a whole. If anything he'd have a £500k(ish) Relegation Release Clause.

Whether it's true or not is a different story but Alan Nixon is fairly reliable as far as I'm aware. Would make sense for them seeing as they've only got two central midfielders currently and Levitt will almost definitely want away after this shitshow of a season. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwia9ras6Lz7AhUJhlwKHcyrA64QvOMEKAB6BAgJEAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffootballleagueworld.co.uk%2Fmillwall-eyeing-deal-for-world-cup-bound-midfielder-from-the-scottish-premiership%2F&usg=AOvVaw3NwkDVhMaWycHEqjSfDFNH&cshid=1668949232358017

(This is all theoretical and statistical bullshit) Also after doing more maths than I'd like to admit, I've worked out that if Birighitti matches Eiji's 24 appearances last season and keeps the same way he has so far that: Birighitti currently makes 3.7 Saves P/G meaning he would make 88 Saves in 24 appearances - Birighitti also concedes 1.7 GPG meaning he would concede 41 goals in 24 appearances. Eiji made 2.5 Saves P/G in the 20/21 season meaning he made 60 Saves that season - Eiji conceded 1.3 GPG that season meaning he conceded 31 goals. Meaning that on paper Birighitti would make 2.1 Saves for every Goal Conceded compared to Eiji's 1.94 Saves per Goal Conceded. In theory, Birighitti is a better shot-stopper than Eiji but less of a "passer out the backer" (I'll get onto that). Eiji made 33.5 Touches P/G x 24 = approximately 816 - Eiji made 16.9 Accurate Passes P/G x 24 = approximately 405. 816/405 = 2.01, meaning Eiji made 2.01 Touches per Accurate Pass compared to Birighitti who, I'll spare you the maths, made 2.79 Touches per Accurate Pass. It really does depend on how you want your goalkeepers to play but currently at United I think its a shot-stopper and not a playmaker we need in-between the sticks.

That is his 17/18 stats from FotMob his 20/21 stats don't appear for some reason Sofascore has him at: 2.1 Goals Conceded P/G for the 17/18 season and 1.3 P/G in 20/21 Sofascore also has him at 3.2 Saves P/G over the two seasons, 3.9 and 2.5 respectively.

I don't think we'd be safe with the current Eiji or the past Eiji in the squad right now. The boys only made a handful of appearances since he left for France (60 in 6 years, the bulk of which coming in 17/18 and 20/21) I think this image speaks for itself.

Looking at the Australian teams LB selection, Behich should start 3/3 assuming there's no injury or fitness concerns. Levitt might have a harder run in the WC with Ramsey also in the squad. On paper yes but we'll just have to wait and see... (I'd also argue that we only really signed Behich for the WC money but)
