Still being pedantic, but he’ll play with them plenty in training and pre-season.
It’s not like we will sign a goalkeeper and then all them to isolate until match day.
Conrad Logan was brilliant when he’d just met the team. They don’t have to have some mad mental link - they just need to be able to communicate at a fairly basic level while that relationship builds.

He threw a massive wobbly hence him missing the Aberdeen defeat.

Enough to give anyone the willies.

Plus getting Mcgrath in and Sallinger in early is brilliant from the club, getting the business done early in anticipation for a big season ahead.

Manneh is also effectively a new signing up to speed early.

To be fair, Conrad's finest hour came because his defence absolutely abandoned him umpteen times, then he crowned it all off by excelling 50 yards away from all his teammates.

Also heard Gray say we haven’t seen the best of Bowie and how a good preseason will be beneficial to him .

I would have thought the discussion with Hoilett would have been pretty straightforward, wonder what’s holding it up

Now a free agent do maybe just wants to see who else wants him before making a decision and given his age get best deal he can
Did he not also say his family hadn’t joined him in Scotland

MM’s interview/chat with Graham Spiers, he said that Hoilett’s family had remained down south whilst JH was living in Edinburgh

Possibly family reasons.

I thought their anal tics was supposed to be identifying hidden gems that nobody else knew about. Surely if it's identifying players we are after then it's no better than what we have and not the amazing revolutionary system they've not stopped banging on about for months. Supposedly they pay Bloom to use his data and I would think we don't pay a penny as it's one of the benefits of having Black Knight on board.

They pay Bloom to use his data??

He gives them 10m and they pay to use his data? Is that right.

Wonder who from Scotland are in for this boy. Another A league player who seems to be in demand.

🚨 JUST IN from @marcothejourno (🌕):

Noah Botic (23) has offers from clubs across 10 European nations. 🔥🇪🇺

FC St. Pauli and at least one other German Bundesliga club are interested in signing Botic. 🇩🇪

Clubs in the English Championship, Scotland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, Turkiye, Croatia and Slovenia are also interested in Botic. 🤯🇪🇺

Botic's future is expected to be confirmed next week. 🍿

Following the conclusion of the 2024-25 season, we can now provide a summer squad update.

We are saying goodbye to first-team players Jack MacKenzie, Ross Doohan, Tom Ritchie, and of course, Jamie McGrath who confirmed back in February that he was leaving to join Hibernian.

Lastly, after two seasons in red, Jamie McGrath has left for the final time. The 13-times capped Republic of Ireland International joined on a free from Wigan Athletic and has enjoyed a fruitful time in the North-east, playing 81 games, scoring 16 times and laying on eight assists.

The Dons were keen to retain the midfielder, but a lucrative and lengthy offer in the capital has tempted him south.

He's not given them any money yet.

I think so, heard it a while ago on a podcast but cannot remember which one so asked ChatGPT and from the answer it seems very likely to be the case.
