Killie knocked back 500k from Nurnberg for Greg Taylor - He's a player probably still out of our reach who I'd love us to go after.

21 years of age and over 100 appearances for Killie and a very good left back. If we were speculating to accumulate then he's the type of player who would probably make us money. Unfortunately we won't be paying over 500k on one player anytime soon

Never say never.

I think we will need another two decent midfielders. Current midfield is probably as weak as the Butcher era.

In the last few years we have lost - Mcgeouch, Mcginn, Fyvie, Bartley, Milligan and Omeonga.

Out of F.Murray, Mallan and Allan I think we can only play one of these at a time as they are quite similar from what I’ve seen / luxury players.

Plenty of time left left in the window to get the right players in so I’m not overly worried. I’m sure there will be money available to replace the quality we have lost in the last three years or so.

[ancient hibee]

How can a player that most. consider to be our best attacking midfielder possibly be considered a luxury player?I would say he was essential to the team.

[Heisenberg]

We are extremely weak in midfield and Hecky knows that. Hopefully we’ll get someone in shortly.

We gambled on Spike last summer and although he did ok he wasn’t enough. We needed Omeonga to make central midfield really tick last season.

Maybe Jackson can play there but we need more.

Actually haven2 seen him play, all I know is he's scored goals. Guessing there may be a reason why he's not got a move to a bigger club?

I’m thinking that the boy has scored a million goals, had clubs linked with him from all over, become a free agent and the club that ‘wins the race for his signature’ is a Scottish championship club with average gates only just averaging 5,000

Somethings not right there.

I agree Allan isn't a luxury player but I'm guessing the OP probably means he'd want to see more bite in midfield which I'm inclined to agree with.
I'd probably say you could play two of them depending on what you're doing with wingers and strikers in the XI.

There are a few too many teams being bandied around with everyone outside the back four and Rocky being in there for goals and creativity and we're going to need a midfield platform to utilise those attacking players.

I think based on the way Hecky lined his team up last year / what we have available we are looking at
Whittaker, Slivka and Allan combo with Horgan / Newell / Boyle fighting to wing it and Doidge or Kamberi through the middle. Probably a sixth to eighth place finish at best, however, there’s plenty of time for this to change and get the right players in, particularly being debt free and the investment publicised.

I'd say with the current team we'll finish higher up the league than sixth to eighth but that's a reflection as much on other teams not being great as us being exceptional.

I reckon you're not far off the mark for how we'd line up and I'd find that centre midfield concerning.
Allan isn't a shrinking violet in midfield but equally we didn't bring him in to tackle or retain the ball.
I want him roaming that area from the centre circle to the edge of the box looking to damage the opposition at any chance and not worrying about tracking runners.

For me if you're playing Allan, two wingers and a striker the other two midfielders have to be in there to hold midfield rather than for attacking reasons.
Not saying they both need to be defensive mids but they need to be spending most of their time in the midfield winning and retaining the ball and setting the platform for Allan and the 3 attackers. In my head that gives us a problem with Mallan

Supposedly will be on around £4k a week. Will be a shame if they don't come up this season..

There is 0 chance Utd are paying a player 4k a week. Especially one that came from Ayr.

I think you’ll find they are paying in the region of that and whilst I don’t know and colleague of mines is a big Utd fan and has confirmed this.

They are desperate to get out the league!

Yes this is weird. Have they offered him a huge contract? Are they gambling on this one?

Not sure if quite 4K but he’ll be highest player in the league and guys like Pawlett and Sow will be on over 2k.

They have a very wealthy US owner. And there’s nothing wrong with that....

Why did he go there then, given how many clubs were supposedly chasing his signature?

[04Sauzee]

Signed a young boy for the development squad. 17 year old from QOTS

[Fergus52]

Did Tom James not say that he's comfortable playing centre-mid?

So if we only sign one DM he'll probs be back-up there.

Although if he is getting paid that(which I cant see) utd are playing a dangerous game, if they dont get promoted then they will struggle finincially
