Peak physical fitness and ripe for a big pay day move. Whether he would be a success or not I have no idea, but I think he'll want the opportunity.
Unlike previous seasons, however, I'm not as bothered as I would normally be at the prospects of losing quite a few players, as we will get good money for them and I'm confident our owner will invest in good replacements.

That said, I can't see all four assets moving on this summer.

I dare say winning the cup and a guarantee of 6-8 European games will help retention/ recruitment?

I can't see us selling 4 as I think Boyle will stay but the precedent here is the fact that the 3 other lads are all young and very talented, the last time that happened we sold Thomson, Brown and Whittaker all at the same time.

Wouldn’t be surprised in the case of Nisbet and Porteous in particular if they were told see out this season, get us into third/win the cup and if acceptable bids come in this summer we will let you go.

I realise not at the same time but from the same successful team, Thomson went in January, Brown in May and Whittaker in August all in 2007.

If we lost those players but made circa £8m+ for them, I’m far more confident of our ability to spend around half of that back into the squad now, and recruit well, than I was looking back at 2007. We have infrastructure and barrowloads of debt that the majority of the money went towards. We are actively loosening the purse strings just now even without that income, with it and I feel Ron will be very generous about how much he gives to the playing squad.

Rocky apparently rejected a contract back in Israel and has offers to remain in Scotland. Only going to be one of the uglies.
Can't pretend I'm not disappointed in that, even if it makes total financial sense for him and his family.

One left mid season, the other at the end of the season. The point is a good one - we had to replace both that summer and it wasn’t easy.

Looks like (potentially) we will need a new GK, Centre Back, Left Back, Winger and a Striker - busy window ahead.

I think it’s inevitable that Nisbet and Porteous will be sold in the summer and I wouldn’t grudge them their moves, don’t see the point in also selling Doig unless it’s a ridiculous offer. Doig needs to be playing first team football at this stage of his development, his value will not drop over a period of 1 year.

I'd rather not see any go but that's unrealistic. Some will definitely go but I don't see all 5 leaving. Should the worst case occur I wouldn't be totally dismayed as I feel our recruitment over the last 4 or 5 seasons has been good and getting better each year.
I think the fact young players see our best young players getting bigger moves will help make us an attractive prospect to potential targets so unfortunately if the right amount is bid we need to accept otherwise we stop being able to attract players like John McGinn and Kevin Nisbet.

Also worth noting he's now the wrong side of 30, so probably doesn't fit our profile.

They were irreplaceable really.

Recruitment has been mixed, Nisbet has been a great signing, as has Gogic. S.McGinn, Wright, Murphy, Cadden and Magennis less so.
I named six players. I reckon we will do well to retain three of them.
They can go with my eternal gratitude, if they win the Scottish Cup.
