Centre forward or two.
Out:
Hallberg
Mackie
Gullan potentially
Gogic potentially
New contracts
Allan
Porteous
Nisbet
I'd have twoQuote:

I’m a bit surprised about the lack of interest in McCart by some of our fans.
Every time we were close to scoring it seemed like he was the one I get a block, tackle or header in to prevent a goal.
Block on Gullan in first half
Header then block and foul won start of second half when it fell to Nisbet
Clearance when ball fell to Hanlon in box
Won foul to prevent Nisbet’s second disallowed goal
To name but a few. Yes it looked like Nisbet was onside for the first goal but I’m sure St Johnstone fans watching that will say Hanlon sclaffed the ball out which lead to the corner which then Porteous scored an own goal from 😬😂
I’m not saying he’s 100% better than Hanlon and McGinn. But this is only his second season in the top flight and at 24 has lots of room to improve.
Also think he’s very comfortable on the ball for a defender.
Could do far far worse than getting him in for free and providing competition. I think he’s one fans will appreciate more when he’s playing for your team.
Not really anything strange about that?Quote:

To me McCart plays in a reinforced defence in a team set up to play defensively.Maybe unfair but I see nothing in his game to suggest he would fit into our style which relies on defenders being comfortable on the ball in bringing it out of defence.
Him in the middle. Porto right . Hanlon left.Quote:

Gordon signed a new contract last month until 2024Quote:

I’d be slightly concerned if McCart is mobile enough/good enough to play in a back 4 . No issues if he’s part of a back 5 as looks steady enough
Isn’t a wingerQuote:

Allan will be offered a new contract 100%. Why wouldn’t he? Whether he accepts it is another matter. Unless there’s someone else to come in.Quote:

Bevis Mugabi solid no effin about type
Would prefer him to McCart. To be honest, I'd probably prefer Robert Mugabe to McCart :na na:Quote:

Did we not actually bid for at least one of them? So not really fans linking the club but actually the club doing the job themselvesQuote:

So who’s out the door then?
Hallberg, gogic and possibly Gullan?Quote:

Meanwhile Josh Campbell, despite having a great attitude, was, again IMO, one of our poorer performers.Quote:

He’s big, physical, mobile and looks after the ball really well. He’s a very good option to rotate the squad with or bring on.
Yeah, assuming his wages aren't too high I'd definitely want to be keeping him as backupQuote:

He isn’t even in the squad tonight, I’ll bet he’s banging on the door to leave.Quote:

How would selling a striker balance the squad? Nisbet going nowhere and if he was, certainly wouldn't be agreed now with zero speculation.Quote:

Tonight when JDH tired Halberg would have been an alright sub. So he could stay Wright and Gogic surplusQuote:

Think what might depend on Mcgennis too

I can imaging Allan will be getting frustrated with his game time, whether he leaves this window or at the end of his contract is another matter. As has been said, Ross just seems to want to play him as an impact sub with the odd few minutes here and there, it all depends where Scotty sees himself playing, he may have to drop to a lesser team to get the game time he wants.

I will be very surprised if there are no enquires about Martin Boyle in the January window.
Scott was a ridiculously poor signing, really hope we let him leave in january and get better inQuote:

Can't see it. Worth more to Hibs than he is to anyone else. Would cost big money with his new deal.Quote:

That’s because he’s not anything more than a good member of the squad now. He could start a game every now and then but he’s best utilised off the bench. I think whether or not he’s here next season will be down to how he feels about that and if he wants to drop to a bottom 6 side to try for more game timeQuote:

He's a well known quality player in this league. He's been available multiple times for way less than his value and he's still here, and signed a new deal. Boyle is one of the least likely to leave.Quote:
