I really rate Fuchs.

Out of contact in January, currently at Cheltenham after signing a 3 month deal - far too good for them.

That's a good shout. I've seen him play a couple of times and he was decent. I didn't realise he was at Cheltenham now - as you say, he's got the quality to be playing at a higher level than that. I suppose that is why he only signed a 3 month deal. Obviously no one knows how he would fair up in Scotland but IMO he is worth a punt on a free transfer!

We only have to make one signing : Tony Mowbray.

He is getting on a bit but could still cover the centre back role I guess?

Why would he move from doing relatively well with Blackburn to us?

Must be signing for Hearts [emoji57]

The first priority in January should be a solid goalkeeper. That would bring a bit of confidence for the defence.

Honestly that is the least of my worries in our current squad.

Centre half
Left wing
Attacking mid
Striker

All need to be strengthened before we consider a new goalie IMO.

I actually think Macey has had a good season, he has the odd fluffed clearance like Wednesday but he’s a very good shot stopped IMO and is getting better at coming for crosses.

I don’t think that’s going to happen he will get the rest of this season to improve and decision will get made in the summer

John McGlynn won't play Dylan Tait in the Cup this weekend, at Hibs' request, so that he's not cup-tied if/when he comes to us.

Hibs keeping their options open here. It wouldn't surprise me if, depending on our other business in January, he stays at Rovers for the rest of the season.

See the lad Charles at Accrington will be sold if those interested meet their valuation of the player!

Wonder if we are still interested?

That's nice of McGlynn, fair play.

Why not give big Kevin Dabrowski a run in the team ?

Would struggle to make the top 10 priorities. Nothing wrong with macey anyway

You wouldn’t bring a largely untested jerker at this level into a team that’s losing imo
But I don’t know how he can improve as back up when not playing Catch 22

That really would surprise me if we allowed him to go back on loan.

We were supposedly desperate to get him in last window but Raith refused as they never had enough time to replace him. Only agreement that could be made was sign for us and loan back.

He’s also been training with us twice a week, unless he has been poor which I very much doubt I think he’ll be straight in

Probably agreed a loan in Jan for one of our players in return.

Thing is, he's not kicked a ball for them since he's refused to sign a new contract. If he were to sign a pre contract with us, surely it wouldn't take much of an offer to sign him early unless they are happy paying his wages and not playing him.

Jack Ross on Chris Mueller:

"Chris Mueller will arrive in the UK on Wednesday, which will give him a month with us before he's ready to play. It gives him time to settle at the club and in the city. He has always earmarked the derby as his first game to be involved in."

He's one of the worst midfielders in the league in terms of losing possession, both from poor control and poor passes. I dug up the stats a few weeks back when posters suggested him and if I remember right only Gogic and Jordan Tilson had worse stats in terms of how often they give the ball away.

we could definitely do with the option of an aggressive box to box ball winner who can cover a lot of ground, think a player like this would compliment either Newell or JDH well in certain games - but we really need it to be someone who is better with the ball at their feet than Fuchs, someone in the mould of Alan Campbell or Ali McCann.

I know it’s been joking said thousands of times, but HTC when you see it here must be some attraction for players https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8tNykox/

Can’t be many teams in England below mid championship level plus all of Scotland outside the old firm who can compete with that plus our stadium.

I'd keep eyes on Ross Callachan, Jambo I know but stood out at Hamilton last year and has been performing well at county. Real battler, good range of passing, scores the odd goal with a point to prove. No idea of contract situ.

Can't stand him always tries to do a Hibs player when we play them wouldn't have thought he would be good enough

Maybe would have thought similar once upon a time had he not had deeply unlikeable Hearts connections.

Moreover, screams of the Martin Scott-type of signing - looks attractive at the time but wouldn't have been long before we realise we'd want/need a lot better.

If we're keeping an eye on ex hamilton players, it should be our former youth player Scott Martin. It's no coincidence they were relegated when he got injured.

Get more effort from any of the aforementioned, rather than the present incumbent.
