    Who do you think we will sign in January?

    Bit premature for this kind of thread i suppose, but more to talk about i guess! So, who do you think we'll sign/who who would you like us to sign? (Realistic)

    Oh, and will anyone leave?

    There's players i'd like to see come, but whether or not we could afford them that's another matter. Hoping TB can do what he's done at Inverness and find talent down South that can rise to the challenge, ie he got Mackay from Northampton.

    I think we'll sign some players we've never heard of before. We might try and offer a contract or two out to ICT players that can speak to us but I can't see there being any chance of us signing their players still on longer contracts.

    I seem to remember an interview with Steve Marsella where he said they were given a very tight budget, so he had to scrape around the conference etc. and he then mentioned there was more scope for him to look at players with a bit more of a price tag. the good thing that I see is there are probably a lot of players he has been scouting/scouted for Inverness that they maybe couldn't match their wage demands that we could now at hibs, just a thought

    in terms of who they might be, I can see us turning into a bit of a Peterborough. buying players like Dwight Gayle from Dagenham and Redbridge, watching him play well for a year and then selling them on for a lot of profit. who knows, then we might be able to get the corners of the stadium filled in.

    Kenny Miller & a couple of overlapping fullbacks.

    Some un-heard-of players including a right winger who can burn past opposition before always picking out Collins or some other tall player of ours with an expert cross.

    And a striker who doesn't need to be 3 yards from goal before shooting and actually has a decent shot on him (anyone else think Marc McNulty of Livi might be a worthwhile target?)

    After that.... if we can find one; a RB that is similar to when Steven Whittaker was at him very best for us. And one or two other players, maybe a CB on loan to cover for McPake.

    Money has always been made available.

    My concern is that there may be no suitable players available at a price we can afford.
    Buy nothing online unless you check for free cashback here first. I've already earned £2,389.68!

    When he was talking about the budgets, I thought he was talking about his time at ICT ??

    Kenny Miller is a must. Higginbotham from Partick and at least another full back (we cant go on with mcgiverns woeful distribution) would be perfect.

    Correct. While money's always been available it's never been enough. Maybe Tel has the kahoonies to fight Rod for more. I think he'll probably be better at " negotiating" with Rod than his predecessors.

    I find him more convincing than our last few managers. Also seems out most intimidating manager in a while

    It's a policy that works well but we normally have to stump up a fair wedge of cash with the initial purchase - they're rarely "cheap". CMS was £150k, McLean £150k, Tomlin £100k, Boyd £260k, Bennett £500k, Gayle £700k. Most of those went for many multiples of the initial fee though. Only Boyd went on a free but we got a couple of "loan fees" for him so still made a profit. Tomlin will be the last to go - probably to Celtic in January so you'll all get to marvel at how such a fat ******* can be so talented! Not sure who the next gem is - Assombalonga doesn't count as we paid £1.5m for him with the money we fleeced from Palace for Gayle!
