Really important month coming up. We need 3 players with 2 of them being wide players that can run at defenders and stretch the play.

I'm predicting a Henderson to de liver transplant if I don't cool it on the gin over New Year.

Would love- Swanson and Hendo, plus a pacy wideo.

Stokes is one name doing the rounds,more than likely nonsense,but who willbe leaving ,we can't be adding to the wage bill,bringing in so called better players will cost more money ,the books will have to be balanced.

I think we'll have to get rid of a few also.

Id think Lennons summer recruitment took a fair bit of wages.

He he needs to sort it out this window....as Summer's window has been shocking so far.

**eastmainsmsh** · 27-12-2016 01:21 PM

see the player in the stv video 52 on training top could that maybe be nigel reo coker lol

**GreenCastle** · 27-12-2016 01:28 PM

Stokes / Henderson ? Legends but is it what this team needs ?

Henderson obviously would add quality to team and morale etc but where would he play?

Wingers surely are the priority but who is available and this would mean changing our formation.

**gegs70** · 27-12-2016 01:34 PM

Does he still have the American player on trial?

Is that you Rod?

To hell with balancing the books. A FOURTH season in the championship would be a disaster. We need to pull a rabbit out of the hat in January. A game changer. Someone who would start every week and improve the team. Last time in the first division we struggled until we signed mixu and latapy. We still need two signings like that as we've went backwards under Lennon.

I've no idea who we sign though. That's the managers decision. But I fear if we don't sign someone like that, we'll be in the same league with home crowds of 8,000 next season.

I have no problem if that means moving on graham, shinnie plus one or two others.

Over to you Petrie/ Dempster/ Lennon.

Given that we are in our third season in this league and getting crowds of more that 15,000 I would love to hear your evidence as to how more than 7,000 fans would simply vanish away. If we are sitting near to or better yet top, the fans will come out in numbers. That was proved in the Latapy/Sauzee years and it's the same now. Your figures are imaginary.

If we hadn't won the cup that's where we would be right now. I didn't imagine sitting in crowds of less than 8000 last season. It actually happened.

We can balance the books in the summer when we sell McGinn or Cummings. If we don't go up, balancing next years books will be very painful.

But we did win the cup so we will never know what our crowds would be just now. If we had done the treble last season my guess is that we would have had to move temporarily to murrayfield to accommodate our crowds of over 40k.

***superfurryhibby*** · 27-12-2016 03:20 PM

One of the most important transfer windows ever for the club. Logic and the league position dictates that the club will need to push the boat out a bit to try and get the guys in who will give us the edge in the next few months.

We need decent quality players who are ready to play from the off. The club and the fans needs a lift and we desperately need options, out wide in particular. It would also be good to offload if possible and I'd be pleased to see a good few out the door if possible.

I have no idea who we will bring in, other than I want to see Henderson. He would be a huge boost.

**Unseen work** · 27-12-2016 03:41 PM

Peter pawlett should be getting looked at and any other winger with pace and a bit of quality.

We could attract half the players in the league above to join us imo.

No way will selling Cummings balance the books. Who is going to pay that amount off money for a striker with no first touch and no right foot .

Pure conjecture on your part, you have nothing to back that up.

I have no idea what amount .Put it this way how much do you think we would get for him next week .Certainly not as much as a couple of months ago

That's not what I asked .

You said that we wouldn't get "that amount" for Cummings....presumably the amount you think we need to "balance the books.". How much do you think that is?

I was referring to Ozyhibbys comment that we could balance the books by selling Cummings

...which suggests that you know how much we need to do that.

At this stage of the season, I'd reckon that's impossible to know.

I never said clear our debt. Just any deficit we may have to incur to get the players we need to get us promoted.

When the budget was created by LD/RP what crowd number did they use?

I'm pretty sure that the budget would have been based on lower crowd numbers.

A significant amount would also have been set aside for an SFA fine. That's now available.
