If he is desperate to stay with Celtic then I don't particularly want him here.
Childish maybe but there you go.

I presume using the same logic you don’t want pretty much every footballer in the world here?

Near enough everyone would rather sign for Celtic than Hibs unfortunately.

Come home Leigh !!

Jeez which part of childish are folk not getting here. I know my view isn't logical.

If your wage was £10K and was gonna drop to £3K would you not be desperate to stay?

If I had earned as much as he already has and had the option of 2-3 years on £10k week but hardly playing and being distinctly unhappy when I've already got issues, or £3k/week, playing, having a chance to get back in the Scotland squad, and most of all being happy working somewhere where I feel wanted and at home, I'd definitely go for the latter.

I think "definitely" is a stretch, as it doesn't take in to account your monthly outgoings suddenly having to dramatically reduce when you potentially have a mortgage(s), cars, plenty kids etc etc.

You'd have to make an informed decision financially.

Think this summer is going to be extremely quiet. Don't see much happening. I think we'll keep small squad. Also, if Celtic are keeping Griffiths then we'll probably keep Nisbet unless we've got another hidden gem lined up.

Hope it is more interesting than I expect as league will be tougher next season and we had some nasty stutters last season which would've been easier to avoid if we had some competition for places. When's pre-season starting?

I'm expecting to see a fair bit of action tbh even if we do keep a small squad.

We have already lost Marciano with Macey coming in although he was already here tail end of last season, will Dabrowski be No2 or go on loan?
Stephen McGinn has already departed and we aren't yet sure what Irvine will do?
I'd expect McGregor to have less game time and sure it was reportedly we'd sign another CB if Porteous was staying and 2 if he left.
Also think in may have been reported that we wanted another striker and again maybe 2 if we lost Nisbet.
There has to be question marks over Allan and Hallberg if they want to go and be 1st picks elsewhere.
Decisions also to be made on Fraser and Gullan I'd imagine.

Also expect Tom James to move on.

Edit.. Mallan not Allan

Not saying Mallan and Hallberg should move on I just think they may want more game time.

Think you're probably right. Already got Macey and McKay in.

Think we'll probably see another keeper (maybe a loan) ,CB,midfielder to replace Irvine (or Irvine to sign) and a striker. Can't see there being wholesale changes and it'll be about quality rather than quantity.

Could make for boring thread!

Fair point. I personally think Dabrowski should be our no2. Use him in the cup games. He's done well on loan and I hope he gets what Macey got, and starts the cup games.

Stephen McGinn isn't really like losing a player. That was a backup to the backup type job. Irvine is definitely a point, I have a feeling he won't be back and tbh I'm not bothered. We'll need to get someone though.

Tom James will likely be gone. Mallan and Hallberg are good points but without transfer interest I doubt we'll shift them on for free.

Fraser Murray and/or Jamie Gullan leaving will be a relative non-event as they've done well on loan but still look so far from holding down a 1st team position. Especially Fraser Murray, who clearly has quality, but reminds me of Sam Stanton.

My guess is we may see 4-5 player changes at most. Sounds reasonably large number until you look at squad size and Murray, Gullan, Mallan, Hallberg, James, Irvine and Marciano situations. Hope we've got youngsters ready to step up, I think the batches labelled very promising are still too young.

Cheers, not long then.

Should hopefully see something over the next week or so. Even clarity over Irvine situation…

He is away with the Aussie squad so may take a break before he makes any decision

Didn't realise Aberdeen had agreed a fee with Houston Dynamo for striker Christian Ramirez

Be some move for Porteous if it happens. Probably not the best league but Galatasaray are a massive club.

Interesting one. Given we apparently knocked back £1M for him in January, I can't see that going anywhere unless the 'plus' in £1m+ means another million.

Would be a far more ambitious and exciting move than a mid-table EFL Championship team.

In footballing terms it’s relatively risk free for Ryan as well as long as he keeps working hard. Even mildly succeeding at Galatasary will have him well paid and give him options should he get fed up. Yeah, Champions League vs EFL Championship is easy choice.

Hopefully £2m+ with substantial add-ons.

[Stuart93]

Reckon if we can get about £1.5m with a decent sell on he’ll be away. Probably wouldn’t complain at that

[BegbieHSC]

If true and we cash in, I’d be giving St Johnstone a significant share of that for Jason Kerr.

I agree. If we can get close to £1.5m I'd let him go and then ask St Johnstone what they want. If we can get him for under 750k it would be a good situation all round. Would be a bold financial move for sure but I think it would allow us to carry on seamlessly from losing an important player and invest in another potential huge sellable asset.

Do they also have a link up with Brighton
Have to assume we aren’t interested as no point in having a link up if we don’t get first dibs
