The defence was honking and we have done zip to fix that yet, but it’s only the 10th of June and apart from Strapp, there’s not many decent defenders floating about for free. Agree with all you say but there hasmd two years to recruit rb and left back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need at least 6 decent players in Maybe best to at least wait until the transfer window opens on Friday to be disappointed. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I actually cant remember any year when we have been in a better position this early. Even in McCall's days everyone was only on a one year deal and at this point we were still waiting on the majority of players returning form holiday to find out if they were going to stay for another year or not. This year its only Musonda we are waiting on. Most other years at this point we couldnt put an 11 on the park, this year we can and its already (on paper anyway) as good, if not better than what we had last season. Yes we know its not the finished article and we are in need of at least a RB, CH and CM but we are in a really strong position compared to normal / most other teams in our league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 We will just need to outscore the opposition this season - who needs a defence anyway? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Stone RB Stanger CB Reading/LB Henderson CM Murdoch Murphy Oakley Dowds Subs: Mutch, McAllister, McGinty, Reading/LB, Dempsey, Syla, RW, McKenzie, McRoberts Bring in another 5, loan out Bryden, Watret etc. Ecrepont probably stays till January with Mutch injured. Even loan out McRoberts and get another attacker in if money/space available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could probably do with another LM and maybe a quick, nimble striker with Dowds and Oakley too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muZZa__44 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I’d say if we can get someone who can do both LM and ST would be great 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 There were hints a few weeks ago of at least one "marquee" signing that would 'impress everyone'. I assume that's not happened yet, or did I miss the part when I was meant to be impressed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that's not happened yet, or did I miss the part when I was meant to be impressed? I can’t remember but we’ve likely missed out on him. Brown said he was happy that the four we’ve signed so far were all first picks but I’m sure he alluded to us missing out on other targets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Bryden needs a loan for his own development and to get him out of the "he's one of our own" bubble, I'm sure everyone wants the boy from the stands becomes star striker story to come true but for that he needs to be playing regularly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Bryden needs to have a think about what kind of career he wants to have and do what is best for him. If that is getting slated doing donkey work out wide or playing as a goal scoring forward, he’s probably not going to do the latter at Ayr next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Oakley (28) - June 2026 *Youth players not established in first team. That's our full squad at present of players definitely signed. 21 however, I have highlighted all I would class as "youth players" which brings us down to a squad of 16. You then have question marks over McGeady and McGinty. McRoberts, Guthrie and Watret all need to go out on loan. Happy to see Tomlinson stay first 6 months as I feel he can add something to the squad and with Mutch rumoured to be out until October, Ecrepont probably stays as well. Bryden, as said needs his loan. Fancy there still to be at least 5 or 6 to come in. Next few need to be defenders though as well as the illustrious Rus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
