Next season transfer plans

[Dazzjw1875]

Firstly sorry if this is posted elsewhere, was just wondering with the recent board statement regarding looking over the end of season and possible changes perhaps inc NM, where this will out us interms of recruitment? I'm thinking this could perhaps damage and potential incoming/ conversations had with players or do these days players not really care..

[Jones28]

I think the manager will be in or out at the end of the season dependent on results, but McDermott is reportedly working very hard behind the scenes getting players in/out.

[Donegal Hibby]

Thing about it for me is the type of players Monty will have discussed with McDermott that he wants mighten be the same type of players another manager would want.

Also if we were after the Aussie lads Farrell and Nisbet would they still want to come if Monty wasn't the manager? .

Purely on our current manager will know who he wants to move on and wants in and we probably even at this stage have started identifying targets I think a new manager will probably throw the whole process back to square one again.

So are the posters saying he was leaving in the summer wrong

They might not be, but he's still got a job to do before he leaves if he is.

Why? We should be looking at and signing players now.

Luke McCowan
1 x goalkeeper
2 x centre back
1 x left winger

If they only wanted to come because Montgomery was manager I wouldn’t be signing them anyway.

It would be a huge step up in their career. That should be the incentive.

Both might end up having other clubs interested that are on par with our own or bigger , having played for our current manager before could give us an extra advantage in signing them .

[DH1875]

Would expect a few loan signings from the other clubs that the Black Knights are involved with whoever our manager is.

It’s not a case of we’ll take stock and start looking at the end of the season.

A lot of players probably already know where they will be next season as their agents would already have been involved in ‘informal’ discussions.

I’d be surprised and disappointed if Hibs hadn’t approached a few by now…..

Hearts have already got three on pre contract agreements and that is out in the public domain.

[WellingtonHibby]

Would like us to go for the Wellington Phoenix Goalkeeper. Stand out in the league this year, good with his feet and a good age

Maybe one of our fringe players that we might be able to move easier than some others ? .

Decent stats. Wonder if we're keeping tabs on him to bring him back in next year

Hibs won’t be the only clubs interested in them.
Their relationship with and respect for Monty could tip their decision our way.
That’s not to say that Hibs ARE actively trying to sign them, and I have no idea if they are, but both have recently expressed a desire to play outside Australia.

They are decent stats . I would imagine we are keeping tabs on him and even though he's young I think he's one we will probably try and move on as he's never really got a look in at us .

Might be totally wrong though could be a case of he's found his level there .

Keeper you have mentioned looks decent btw .

[Greenio]

Jus reading Lennon talking about Hibs and NM.

Cant work out what it is he's saying tbh - said something about the upcoming matches not changing anything, but then goes on to put the boot in a little, not underserved at all mind.

I honestly have no idea whats going on, is he staying, is he a dead man walking or is he fighting for his job in these last few games?

Could be all 3 tbh

[number9dream]

I'd like to think we are targeting a goalkeeper with more experience.
Someone like Mitov at St J must be under consideration. He wouldn't cost that much with a year on his deal and, at 27, could be our number one for a long time to come.
Again at centre-half, we need a couple of guys of who are more seasoned to give us a solid platform.

And then we have the usual not his players if the inevitable happens and NM goes.

And Hearts also appear to have a stable management /coaching team in place.

Interesting observation.

Not directed at you, and speaking generally,but I’m just not sure what constitutes a ‘stable’ environment football wise these days.

If managers have a few bad weeks they can move quickly from ‘stable’ to ‘shoogly’.

Naismith to his credit, did it the other way…….back in September the cries by their supporters to replace him were long and loud.

His board stayed with him and now he is seen as successful.

Funny old game.

Any chat about Luke coming? Think would be an excellent signing

I would have thought we have our signing targets identified at this stage so maybe it's a possibility even if we had a change of manager NOW they still wouldn't be the new guys players .

Always a chance that if our current manager gets the players he wants he can still turn things around too. We can only live in hope 👍

Would add a left back.
Depending on how many leave might need 3 centre backs and 2 strikers

It sure is, personally I still hope NM can turn things around

[Fuzzywuzzy]

I thought about Robbie McCrorie but then saw how many games he's played in 10 years, hes 26. Only six appearances for the stickies. You wonder if he regrets signing that new deal when he did.
