With it only 3-4 days until Jan window opens, do you think we need to strengthen or does it depend on who goes

Imo, we probably need another Striker to replace Curtis Allen and possibly someone in on loan who could replace Foran whilst he's injured.

 

 

If Aberdeen get Greatpenis then I wouldnt say no to making a move for Josh Magennis (awaiting abuse). Ive always been impressed by him. Powerful pacy and versatile. Not an out and out scorer but still capable and brings a different approach up top...

 

 

I was going to suggest that myself. I think Josh Magennis and Billy Mckay are mates so it might be a decent partnership. 

 

Josh can also play at right back which in an ideal world would be back up to David Raven rather than sticking Graeme Shinnie there. 

 

 

Just noticed that Magennis's contract is up at the end of the season, one way or another he will be getting pushed down the pecking order with Zola, Vernon and whoever they bring in over January contending for places...

 

 

I hope Yogi is aware of this. Megennis would be a terrific signing. 

Hughes is hopeful of 1 coming in before Saturday, wonder if its Tansey he means. He also says that 1 or 2 possible additions have fallen through.

Tansey might be the best arrival for us in the short time at least?

 

He knows the set-up and was doing fine when he left, as I recall.

 

Comments?

Ignore that, he signed for Gateshead

 

Who?

Aberdeen are now in the running for Rooney as well, seriously Magennis would be worth taking a chance on, perfect little and large strike force with Billy...

Aberdeen are going to have some strike force with Tony Watt, David Goodwillie and Adam Rooney all about to sign. Expect a press conference on Tuesday.

Imo, we only need a Striker or 2.

Got 2 Goalies so defo in no need of another 1 and in defence and midfield we have numbers and also players who can play in numerous positions.

Any idea or rumours of any potential Striker signing, Tony Watt would be a good shout but he's on loan at Lierse so thats probably a no go, Maggenis has been mentioned, that's also a good shout.

I'd prefer a loanee from lower English leagues as we seem to find gems from that area but i don't watch League 1, 2 or Blue Square bet Premiership so can't tout any names.

Agree. We are now well covered in all positions apart from attack. Need to bring a forward in by the end of the month.

I think we need a new CB. Going by Twitter Joe Gorman seems incredibly strange. Tokely IMO

Where is that boy that used to play for Hughes at Falkirk, Pedro Moutinho and what position did he play?

He was a striker/winger IIRC.  Seemingly he no longer has a club and is now 34.  His last team was way down the leagues in Spain apparently.  He was a good player in the past from what I remember, but I wouldn't take him now.

I find it worrying that with under 2 weeks left of Transfer window, theres no sign of movement regarding getting a Striker or 2 in.

just because we arnt hearing about it doesn't mean there's no movement.....

Thats a fair comment old caley girl but Aberdeen and St J have been going public with their interests.

When does the window actually close? Is it midnight on Friday 31st January? Or does it 'stretch' to Monday 3rd February with a flurry-of-activity as the officials return after the weekend? 

S F A still work Saturdays?

Closes 23:00 on Friday 31st

Loan dealings are not usually done till near close of window. Also likely waiting to see if Billy is staying.

I just think that its not a good idea to go public. It raises fan expectations and if it falls through it disappoints folk. As frustrating as it is at time I think not shouting about signing till they actually happens is the best policy.

apparently not this time according to the journos on bbc sportsound the other night! 

I think after watching us struggle to get back into the game on Saturday and having to end it with a weird 3-6-1 looking formation, we really really could do with another striker.

Last day of the transfer window and still no word about any back up for billy mackay?

Does anybody know if loan deals can be made after the deadline?

Free agents can come in after window shuts...

Edited January 31, 201412 yr by old caley girl

Can't see us finding anyone up to the job if we're scraping around for free agents

Relax, we can always turn to Gary Goals.

 

He'd be a way better signing than Gary Glen, that's for sure!
