Winter transfer thread - repetitive discussion only (hardly any transfer news)

***Diclonius*** · 15-11-2018 07:51 AM

As the initial one seems to have gone already, let's kick off the build-up to the January transfer window. A notoriously difficult time of year to buy in quality, we'll go in surely needing extra firepower up front and more steel in midfield.

Also - if this thread descends like last time into bickering between posters about who's inside info is pish or not, I'll close this thread. If you're unhappy because someone's confidental info (of which they were under no obligation to share with you) didn't come true, tough. Get over it.

Confirmed in
Gael Bigirimana, six month contract (midfielder, Motherwell)
Tommy Block, development contract (midfielder, Bognor)
Ryan Gauld, six month loan (midfielder, Sporting)
Darnell Johnson, six month loan (defender, Leicester)
Marc McNulty, six month loan (striker, Reading)
Stephane Omeonga, six month loan (midfielder, Genoa)

Confirmed pre-contracts
Scott Allan, three year contract (midfielder, Celtic)

Confirmed new contracts
Lewis Stevenson (two and a half years)

Confirmed out
Efe Ambrose (Bolton)
Emerson Hyndman (Bournemouth)
Ross Laidlaw, on loan (Dundee United)
Jamie Maclaren (Melbourne City)
Harry Mavrias (Omonia)

This is almost as bad as Christmas being promoted in August or Hearts winning the league in September.

We have transfer news (Stevenson's new contract) - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I'll wait for someone to start a thread that allows bickering. It's the best part of a transfer thread by far

Where is Cat123 when you need him?

But that was announced in Autumn not winter!

Anything past October is basically winter up here.

Any chance we can have a separate Greggs/Transfer board again?

He signed a permanent deal with Twitter on the last day of the August transfer window after a section of our fans hounded him out.

Any chance of getting him back on loan?

Oh no it isn't!

***Caversham Green*** · 15-11-2018 09:55 AM

I can guarantee we won't be getting Marc McNulty from Sheffield United.

Does that count as being ITK?

Oops!

**CMurdoch** · 15-11-2018 10:40 AM

Not ITK.
Celtic will let Allan move in the window for £250k but it could take until March to get him match fit.
We should give them the finger and sign him for free on a pre contract which would see him arrive at the end of the season with a full pre season to get up to speed.

No point spending that much money - we can get Leigh for 150k........

**eastcoasthibby** · 15-11-2018 03:12 PM

Not so sure Scott Allan coming to us is a foregone conclusion, I reckon there will be stiff competition for his signature with his wage demands being a problem for us, unless we push the boat out a bit !! Both Aberdeen and Sevco are in need of a player like him, so I hope we have a plan if we want him of how to make it happen !!
Ps and I am not itk ...😟

**~~The 90+2~~** · 15-11-2018 03:44 PM

I’m concerned Celtc will make it difficult for us to sign Allan because of the McGinn saga.

Where was this stiff competition in the summer and what has he done since to convince new clubs to come in for him?

Didn't happen did it. He got called out for made up rubbish and took the huff.

There's certainly less chance of him coming here in January than there was in the summer, I feel.

Absolutely

Those puddle drinkers blame hibs for McGinn not going to them

I'm really confident SA will be at Hibs in January and don't see Celtic being difficult to deal with given they're now hitting form

by all accounts it went right to the wire last hours of the window or he'd be here now. He wants games, he'll get them at Hibs and he'll get his profile back again. There's no doubt he'd jump at coming.
