Club telling Glentoran that they have until tomorrow to accept or reject the McMenamin bid.
Not being left hanging about here - Glentoran clearly dragging their hells to see if they can get better elsewhere and the player side of negotiations will be the easy part. He's told the club he wants to join us so we really do need to force the issue here.
Think the player will have a chat with the chairman and force the move . The player can refuse to go to another team and play out the rest of his contract at Glentoran . We have made a fair offer , and if he is as good as they think he is , there is a good chance they will make a few bob out of a sell on fee .

In the last 6 months we have sold 4 players, 3 of whom were not getting a game. And the income is helping finance hopefully first pick players. Quite a turnround for us.
Realistically we can make three decent signings and maybe get a couple of loans in and keep hold of OHara , Baccus and Strain , which would give us our best ever squad in recent years .

I'm thinking Robinsons first choices would be Main and McMenamin. The idea of suggesting interest in other players is a reminder to others to make their minds up .

Are you certain we leaked this to Scott Burns? If it is true then I'd suggest it was already a done deal and we are getting it out there before the official announcement. Why? Shows we mean business and are doing well and gets the fans up for season tickets and merchandising.
I like that version . Might not agree with it . But I hope your correct .

Bedeau is a left footed centre half. We already have Dunne and Taylor. Would assume we will go back for Bedeau next summer. I would say it's McMenamin, Fletcher and possibly Sule
I've never seen Bedeau play , but I'm thinking he,s a centre half that's left footed , who can play centrally or on the left side of three central defenders . Was thinking he would be taking over from Shaunessy.

I think the three players we are hoping to sign are Bedeau , Sule and McMenamin.

If we replace Brophy, Henderson, Shaunessy, Tait and Small with Nahmani , Strapp , McMenamin , Sule and Bedau and keep Baccus , Carson and Main I think we could have a very solid well balanced team .

Ah right ok. I wasn’t thinking of McMenamin as a striker.
Would be nice if it were two strikers we were pursuing and McMenamin. Would settle for one new striker if we keep Main .
So far it looks like Tait, Shaunessy, Main , Carson Small , Brophy and Henderson will need replaced . Probably Baccus too .
We have brought in Nahmani and Hemmings , so I'm thinking we,re due another six signings .

Pulling the plug on the mcmenamin deal it seems as we can’t reach an agreement according to Scott burns.
Both teams playing hardball . All part of the process . McMenamin asking for a transfer and Saints upping their bid by another £10k might swing it .

McMenamin is left sided.
He,s left footed , but often plays on the right .

Think Dunfermline will need quite a few players to be challenging for the top half of the table if Friday was anything to go by.
Ayr will be nowhere near it.
So who do you see being Dundee uniteds main threat ?

Has anyone seen the odds for this year's championship. Think Dundee United will romp it . Dunfermline and Ayr Unired will put in a challenge but will drop out by Christmas . Think United will be 6/4 .

For who? Nouble or Anderson?
Wouldn't pay a million pound for both of them , and Main and Alunga were a far better partnership.

Is Robbo taking advantage of an opportunity to get Zach Hemmings on a three year contract , with a view of having two strong keepers this season and Letting Carson go at the end of the season ..

Inverness have a midfielder David Carson , I'm sure I saw a news clip that Dundee United and Dundee were both interested in signing him . Could someone have seen this and got him and Trevor mixed up .

Wasn't the Love St game v Fulham played in conditions similar to last week's Scotland v Georgia game ?
Kinda like waterpolo with football boots ?
It was pouring down that evening. Five three to the Saints , thinking it was three three at full time .

Disappointed to lose Baccus for such a low fee , but if the money is spent on signing Bedeau and the winger from Glentoran and on keeping Main , I would be quite happy .
Add helping get Sule signed and getting Strain to sign a contract extension and I will be very happy.

Look at John McGinn to Villa with one year left on his contract. Was it something like 2.75m+ add ons? I'm not saying we would get the same for Baccus, but you can't help but think we would be short changed if we accepted anything under 750k for a full international who featured at the World Cup and is a regular now in his national side?
I think many of the teams looking at Baccus think there's a profit to be made and will look to sell him on . Add ons will be hugely important in any deal to sell Baccus .

I think Greive is worth a try. Always very mobile and definitely helps us get up the pitch. Does have a goal or too in him but so for not prolific. Not too far away from cementing a place last season before his injury. I think he's done more than just ok.
Greive is still young and improving. Not in the same class as Strain or Baccus , but still a good prospect.

Happy to see him back for a year but I'll be honest, I'm gutted if this means that ends the chase for Bedeau.
Maybe the plan us to get Bedeau next year for nothing .

I think Baccus will move this season . Bolton is a reasonable step up . I think St Mirren and his agent are working together on this, ideally we would like him.to sign a new contract , failing that we get the best price . Watch other clubs start to get interested . Think along the lines of Ipswich , Norwich , Derby , Coventry.

It's letting them put up a shop that brings in the real coin.
Don't think we let them . They just did it .

Baccus played well today , he played in front if the back four znd a lot of play went through him , he made several forward runs with the ball and seldom wasted a pass. Any football manager/ head of recruitment worth their salt would be watching today's game . Think a few teams might make their move quickly before interest hits up . I'm expecting him to sign for an ambitious championship side.

I think they have played us to generate interest of the players availability. Clubs that might not have been aware of McMenamin have now been made aware of his availability. But will they pay £150k and a decent wage for a relatively unknown player .
They have already brought his replacement in at no cost , and it is worth noting that his replacement Daire O'connor played for Cliftonville at the same time as McMenamin and went to Ayr United where he made little impression. So there is no guarantee of highly rated players coming from Northern Ireland and setting the heather alight .
I'm not convinced the deal is off .
