Cptn Hooch Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 The Sun (I know I know) reporting that Stoke are set to divert their interest from Sam Cosgrove to Lyndon Dykes as he won't command the same multi million pound fee. Would hope we would be pushing for a couple of million at the very least with how integral Lyndon is to the way we play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy.1995 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Wouldnt trust that rag as far as i could throw it.Big money would surely be required if we were to even consider any approach from anyone for our prized asset. We know we are going to lose him eventualy, wee would be fools not to hold out for as much as possible.Would be hard to replace,hes that good,imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy.1995 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Kinda gets boring Atlis going over the same old thing over and over again.Till we can get things sorted out in Scottish football maybe people are reluctant to post without going round in circles.Undoubtly when things start moving a proper manner, think youl find fans will come out of said hibernation.Till then we will just have to be patient and grin and bare it.Stay safe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghLivi Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 We end the season with our second best finish ever and a positive goal difference. It's been a very enjoyable one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thruthenight Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Finishing 5th. Absolutely outstanding achievement, but in the circumstances it feels a little hollow. Outstanding job by everyone involved. Hopefully some magic happens that allows us all to get back into stadia by August, but I wouldn't bet on it. At least we now get to prepare for next season. Hopefully we see Lawless & Dykes again next year, or if not then I hope Dykes goes for 7 figures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) I imagine trying to get Lawless & ATS on new deals and bringing in a new keeper will be all we are aiming to do this summer. Edited May 18, 2020 by EdinburghLivi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thruthenight Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Yeah, ATS will probably stick around, which would be decent business. I suspect that if Lawless wanted to stick around he'd have signed a new deal by now, and will be out the door. Which is a shame, but noone can blame him at 29 looking for the biggest contract of his career after a season like this one. Who all is out of contract? Lawless is the biggest one, I think Odoffin might be? Other than that, I have no idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a great achievement but I'm gutted Livi didn't get the chance to see out the fight for Euro place. We had one game against 'Well (1 win in last 10 games) and two against Aberdeen remaining. Thought we were in with a good chance of taking a spot. That Motherwell have won only 46% of their games and lost one more than us; and with an almost identical GD record, says that there isn't a lot between us and them, for me.

It wouldn't surprise if Lawless was interesting bigger clubs so I fear he will move on, along with Dykes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 We threw away so many points from winning positions and didn't pick up many that were undeserved on the balance of play. I am sure other teams will say the same but I agree with you, crispy - there was not much between us and the two teams above us. Motivation for next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 We've been fantastic at bringing in keepers the last few seasons, Alexander, Kelly & Sarkic were all outstanding. Same goes for defenders, after losing Halkett & Gallagher it was a huge hole to fill, but Guthrie has certainly done that, and Brown coming back on loan for a 2nd stint paired up nicely to form a formidable CB pairing. Devlin & ATS also worked out well with us switching to a back 4, and having big Marv in there protecting the midfield helped too. Anyway, bit of a damp squib to the season ending with a lockdown/shutdown, but a well deserved 5th place finish for the team, hopefully we'll get to vote for PoTY, and have those awards handed out, some worthy nominations this season, in our 2nd best Premiership season in our history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's get Devlin and Guthrie extended ASAP though! Reckon we'll see Lawless go, and Dykes will go for no less than 7 figures barring an absolute scandal on our part. Saw that Scougall is out of contract atm, we'd need a striker too - huge step up and he turned us down before but Nathan Austin? Scored something like 48 goals in 36 games with Kelty, then again I'm sure Jordyn Sheerin had similar numbers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will amend. Agree with you on Lawless leaving which may mean Souda coming in more regularly with Rafa as backup. I don't think we will be bringing many in given the money we stand to lose. Would rather see Jack Hamilton getting a chance than us going for Austin - he's not shown much above League 1 level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there is the small stat of Motherwell having seven more points, that’s quite a gap. Personally I think there are two Livi teams, the one that plays at home and takes full advantage of the pitch and the one you sometimes see away from home who look a whole level lower at times. There is no doubt that they have done amazingly well given the budget though so fair play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
