I quite liked the January transfer window thread on here because it brought a lot of speculation and good discussion between posters. 

How would you like to see the summer window go? Where should we strengthen? Who should leave the club? 

My wish list for next season that we strengthen in the left back and attacking options. Keeping guys like Miles Storey and Owain Fon Williams should be an imperative.

Noticed in in the daily record today that John Fleck is looking for another club. Would be an ideal replacement for Ryan Christie. El Bahkatoui of Dunfermline would be a fantastic addition to our club too. 

Hope we get our business done early doors. 

Great news , a striker and a decent contract . Well done Richie good start .

Looking forward to next signing .Exciting times

And its a 10 from me !  

Eh? Not.. Bo Derek , oh heck ok how dya delete this ,oh ****

 

Have just seen some of this guys goals and he looks sharp in the box, just the type of guy we need now, has good rapport with fans too. Will soon see.

I see there's talk of Noel Hunt returning to Scotland.  No idea what he's like nowadays but was a good player the last time he was up here.

Makes me wonder if Butcher is aiding Foran with his recruitment, either way good signing! I'm sure he could bag us around 15 goals next season.

I think that we can say with certainty that Foran will be speaking to his old managers/ former colleagues for advice and information. It's quite logical. 

Foran has played with a lot of players who will have went into coaching/managing/scouting and I've little doubt that he won't be working through his contacts for an inside scoop. 

I see Lee Cox is out of contract with Stevenage.  I certainly wouldn't be disappointed to see him return, provided Ryan Williams doesn't sign on again.  Could cover at right back as well.

We are after Kallum Higginbotham on a free - wouldn't object to his signature. 

Anyone know why don't Killie want him any more?  

 

Higginbottom's a decent player, wouldn't be unhappy at all if we signed him

Higginbottom is an excellent player and just what we need behind the striker. I'd be surprised if we could get him because he should be in demand - would be fantastic if we managed this one!

picking up a player of his quality on a free would be a major coup...lets hope we can do something to make us stand out from the crowd that's likely to be after him.... goals off the bench maybe....

Jake Mulraney, 20, has signed a 2 year deal. http://ictfc.com/news/team-news/1780-2-year-deal-for-jake

He's a midfielder from Dublin. He was with QPR but never played. 

Going by Twitter he turned down a new deal with them (they must have rated him then).  Previously with Crumlin United in Ireland and Notts Forrest, with loan spells at Dagenham and Redbridge and Stevenage.

We did offer Danny Devine a contract mind.

Still, another interesting signing. Young attacking player. If he knuckles down up here, turns in some good performances he could win himself a good deal back down south. This is likely what we will be selling these guys on. Fingers crossed he's a success.

Length of contract might be the way to go. 3 year contract would be my call! C'mon Richie, do your stuff and get this guy in!

Wikipedia link

Someone's been at his Wikipedia page already.

"On 17th June 2016 Jake joined Inverness C.T. on a 2 year deal as the second signing for new manager and all-round street fighter Richie Foran. "

I get confused by the various transfer regulations, but if he is 20 and turned down an extension from QPR, aren't they due a development fee?

If the player was leaving QPR and joining another English club there would be a fee to pay but because he is coming to Scotland it's void.  

I'm sure I've read though that Rangers are paying for Josh Windass and Jordan Rossiter in the same scenario. It seems that the compensation is a fraction of what their club would have received had the player gone to another English club, but there is a fee to pay all the same.

A wee note to the person who drafted the ICT press release on Mulraney - there's a huge difference between him becoming "a fan's favourite" and "a fans' favourite" 

Grammar and punctuation might seem pedantic, but it's the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit!

Yeah...that's exactly where my priorities were at today!!

...and "let's eat grandma" and "let's eat, grandma"

Best not mention the time I helped my uncle jack off a horse!

Mulraney, small ell !

He's an excellent player when he can be arsed. Thing is, he isn't consistent enough week in week out. There's a lot of talent there no doubt but a lot of the time he doesn't apply himself very well. If Richie could get him to somehow knuckle down and make him more consistent we'd have a cracking player but there's a reason why both Partick and Killie have let the guy go.
