“Reports from Greece indicated that PAOK Thessaloniki were interested, and Goal.pl reported that Hibernian from Scotland were also monitoring his situation. However, interest from those clubs hasn’t materialised into a formal offer, so that scenario is also no longer realistic.”

These stories totally overlook that - while we know we are in Europe - the outcome of the SC Final next weekend will have a massive impact on our budget for signings.Quote:

To be fair Partick in general.have been absoloutly honking in these 2 games, but I do agree Megwa won't be anywhere near the hibs team next season.Quote:

Pretty sure he is going to have plenty to think about in the summer. But he will need to wait till he knows the outcome of the Sheffield Utd v Sunderland play off and the Scottish Cup Final before he can really start thinking about it
I think the way he is playing he will fancy his chances of getting a game for them, and its a standard up from Scotland. Not sure if they are safe from relegation as yet but that would hopefully influence him if they did.Quote:

It felt like he was angling for a move after signing and thought he looked increasingly stroppy after the bid from Birmingham was rejected . Which is why I’d be surprised if he was a target.. just my opinion of course .Quote:

Ryan Alebiosu will be a free agent after impressing on loan at St Mirren. He could be good competition for C Cadden.
Tawanda Maswanhise at Motherwell could be a good super sub option if Youan leaves. He must be among the fastest players in the country.
Not so sure he is tbh . Noticed on the Aberdeen forum one says ‘ I’m not convinced he wants to be here’ which was much what I thought about him at us .Quote:

Good shouts , anyone is better than Nisbet , occasional player.
Call me greedy, but if we do strike a deal with Bushiri. Faced with a European stint, I'd still be keen on picking up Porteous.
We will need as many good quality proven international players as we can get, it will be a long tough season, with 2 games a week up to Xmas.Quote:

Boyle, Bowie and Nisbet should get you goals.
Not really basing anything on the Aberdeen fans speculation but more on when he was our player in the moment he arrived through the door he seemed to be looking for a move away ( or least it felt like that to me ) .Quote:

Gray I think is quite a strong character and was a leader on the pitch that we know well having been at our club ten years or so.
Jimmy Thelin i know nothing about or that he even existed until he got the Aberdeen job so I don’t know how he’d handle it . I do think Gray wouldn’t be speaking as positively about Youan if there were issues there though.
Bobby Wales signs for Swansea.
Wonder if that tells us anything about Mykola’s future?
I’d be amazed if anyone buys Nisbet this summer. Equally amazed if Aberdeen don’t want him back next season.Quote:

Thats a very good point, I'd have him back at Easter Road for next season.Quote:

He went to Millwall and the fans were certainly not happy with him there and now at Aberdeen theres a few who are now again got doubts about him or at least asking questions ..
I do think he’s a good player but it does feel like to me that at most clubs Kevin Nisbet has went to there have been unrest with him either wanting a move or fans generally questioning the guys attitude… doesn’t really fit in with the right type of character the club have repeatedly mentioned about wanting in a player IMO .
Nisbet for me too huffy
And only ever thinking about his next big move
We’ve moved on and so has he
There aren't much more dubious characters than Anthony Stokes but we still signed him and he still helped us to win the Scottish Cup, scoring 2 goals. It'll obviously be down to Gray and possibly McKay as to whether bringing Nisbet back would work or not.Quote:
Originally Posted by Donegal Hibby

I don’t think we wanted him then and I don’t think we’ll want him now , will be very surprised if we do in truth.
We definitely need a new GK to challenge Smith. Reckon with the connections of the Black Knights it will be Paulsen from Auckland.
We 100% need a new centre half, Right Wing Back, Centre Mid and a Forward! Not much to ask. But 5 players of a higher quality than what we have has to be the aim especially with a potential European campaign
Anyone know what’s happened/happening to Kwon?
Done really well for St Mirren last season and when he first signed for us I thought he looked quality, despite us struggling.
His confidence and form then completely went during our poor run and he then picked up an injury
Saw on Instagram he posted ‘see you again Hibees’
Be stunned if we sign him though
I wouldn’t be adverse to Nisbet & Porteous coming back to the club permanently or on loan. Need an experienced squad for next season. The lad Hale is definitely worth considering as well. Can also supplement with loan deals from the Black Knights consortium to fill in any gaps. Don’t want European venture to negatively impact our domestic ambitions of at least 3rd place again and some silverware.
Hopefully he means he's coming back as a spectator, like Dwight Gayle. Can't say we've even remotely seen anything from him on the pitch that makes him worth signing, even as a squad player.Quote:

Maswanhise has impressed me all season and thought he may be a good replacement for Youan with his pace, directness and goal threat.
Hales a tough one, had a brilliant season with the amount of goals but I can’t say I’ve noticed him much. He does seem pretty clinical though with some of the finishes I’ve saw.
Other couple of players that have played in the league, had good seasons snd we may be interested in
Richard Taylor - Out of contract
Josh Mulligan - Out of contract
Mackenzie Kirk - 8 league goals in his first full flight season for team at the bottom of the league
Simon Murray - We failed to get him last season, but now we’re in Europe and Docherty has just been sacked from Dundee, could they swing it?
Callum Slatterly - Always impressed me and been flying since he came back. In a position we’re well stocked though and has had injury problems in the past. Recently signed a contract extension
Oluwasaen Adewumi - Just turned 20, good goal and assist returns in the league. Really impressed me a couple of times and was only on loan at Dundee.
Boyd- Munce - Can we sign yet another St Mirren centre mid? Another that’s impressed me and reminds me of Callum McGregor. Unlikely to be a position we look to sign though imo unless it’s someone of similar ilk to Triantis
Jordan Amissah - apparently been brilliant since signing for Ross Counrt. Young keeper and in a position we’re we’ll desperately need to add numbers to
Sam Dalby - 15 goals and 2 assists in 35 games, 25 years old and out of contract
Johnny Kenny- More game time with us and in Europe? He’s previously played and scored in Europe too
Not suggesting we sign all of, or any of them, and I imagine we’ll be scouting far and wide for players.
But I think SDG will likely to keep a base of players that know the league, some good options available. We’ll also need a bigger squad for Europe.
Strange one started off well at us then his form just fell off a cliff and he totally dropped out of the pictureQuote:

If the bit in bold is true, then next season is the perfect season to have him on loan. He's in the last year of his Millwall contract, and if he's wanting a move somewhere else then he'll have to have a really good season next year.Quote:

Whilst thinking of the spirit in the team just now and our dressing room, some words come to mind.
Applecart Upset Don't
Hibs lose a goal and he's standing pointing the finger at others.
Our Band of Brothers wouldn't tolerate that and the friction begins.
Have a wee look at Roman Hales , player profile , he’s played a lot of European ties, in the conference league, and scored a lot of goals, once getting 4 in one game.Quote:

If what you say is true then I doubt David Gray would want him. If it's just another case of a blowhard fan thinking he knows what's what, with no real clue, then don't be surprised if Gray does go for it. After all, he'll have a better idea than any of us.Quote:

Probably explains why he fell out of favour at Watford and gradually worked his way back onto the bench at Preston.
Can't fault his passion for the club but he's a liability.
Id imagine Ammisah would want guarantees of getting the gloves fulltime for a team after the season he’s had. A signing target for the ‘Smith’s only average’ brigade.Quote:

I hadn’t realized Bobby Wales had been pinched by Swansea. £350k a pittance for them and looked a quality young striker.
Iredale strikes me as the type that would be quick to call out another player putting another down or acting a bit too big for their boots
I remember the Dundee game up there when Bursik had given away the goal right before half time. Walking off at half time and it was clear as day he was trying to blame Iredale for the pass back to him (which he should easily have dealt with). Iredale certainly didn’t miss him in response to that and told him in no uncertain terms what he should have done.Quote:
