Interesting to read in today's press and journal that John Hughes fears he won't have time to replace Mckay.

Anybody worried about this sort of talk. I really fear for our European hopes if we don't get anybody in in time. Any names being mentioned regarding potential signings or we all in the dark

Not sure all the fans will warm to him unless he fires up the rest of the team

not sure he will be a success ... only works properly when he is out of his box !

I'n not a fan of flare players.

Sounds like a flash in the pan if you ask me. Be better bringing back old flame Lionel-Zippo-Zadi

Nice to have a red head back in the side.

I see the Canadian international Andre Hainault is unattached.  I'm sure he played at left-back for Ross County and looked a quality player.

That season he was with Ross County, I was frequently at their U20s and he used to always coach the young defenders in the team pre match and then often went on to have a good game.  He is definitely someone worth having a look at but I'm fairly certain he was a centre back and not left back - which in that case he may struggle to get ahead of Danny Devine never mind Warren or Meekings. 

IIRC he's a left-back but can also play at centre-half.

Interestingly, I heard at the Clach game that Richard Brittain turned down a one year deal with us to sign for Brora.  God knows how true that is though.

Not familiar with Hainault . What is your take on him Scotty?

If we could afford a transfer fee (which I don't suppose we can) I would like to see a striker who is already a proven prolific forward who already plays our style of football. 

Jack Redshaw is still in contract with Morecambe but if we could afford a bid, would be worth a look.

Dale Carrick has just been released by Hearts, only 21 and a very athletic striker who I always thought had good potential. Definitely be worth a punt.

Nothing special. He has a lot of caps for Canada and is solid enough but not a standout. Depending on your viewpoint you might call him a 'journeyman' or a 'workhorse'. 

There are a number of more experienced that have been released from Scottish clubs that I wouldn't mind seeing as a number 2 striker that we've needed for 2 years now. James Mcfadden/Lee Miller/Jon Daly/Scott Macdonald. Obviously if there's room in the budget. 

Also maybe worth mentioning Andy Driver now left Aberdeen - could be looking to kickstart his career again, though after signing Roberts realise this is very unlikely - And Keith Watson leaving Dundee United

 

McFadden's finished, while Miller had a hopeless season at Killie.  McDonald and Daly would probably be too expensive.   I myself suggested singing Andrew Driver a few months back but seemingly, according to the Aberdeen fans, he's finished now.

I don't do red dots, but suggesting we sign Lee Miller definitely tested my resolve.

Dale Carrick looks set to join Killie it seems

So basically he's Richard Hastings.

I wonder if Yogi will/has offered a deal to Ian Black.  Seemingly he's considering signing for Berwick after going on trial.  I wouldn't offer him a deal myself, but I can see Yogi viewing him as his 'type of player'.

Ian Black is not very good and centre mid is a position we have ample cover for. Give Yogi some credit...

He seems to still have *some* interest in adding to that position when he brought Norburn in on trial.  He also allegedly offered a contract to Iain Vigurs (he didn't want to return apparently).  

Nothing about "credit", but Black's a ball player who I can see Hughes wanting to take a chance on.  I wouldn't look to sign him myself, but I can see Yogi taking a punt.

I don't get how people can say Ian Black isn't good, he was consistently 1 of our best players and was at Hearts too.  He's had a poor time at Rangers but that doesn't make him a bad player, he could easily do a job in the top league with someone.

And how old is he?

And how old is he?

He's 25.
