Thought I'd start a transfer thread in its own right for the up coming season. 

Any new players coming in can be listed here along with our thoughts on how they will fit in

Yeah and the worst thing about him, his biggest mistake and ultimate fail was his complete and utter refusal to believe that even when it was blatantly obvious to everyone else, internally and externally that his players and tactics weren't working, that he might have been wrong. His stubbornness and pig headed determination to see it through in his own vision single handedly cost us our place in the spl

There is no such thing as the SPL anymore. It folded 4 years ago.

If it is true about Boden's salary, he has to be right up there amongst our worst ever signings. At least Barrowman scored a few goals. 

I shudder to think how much we had to pay him to leave.

Looks like he is going to sign for Wrexham.

Astounded by the amount Boden is rumoured to be getting paid. What a complete waste of money that transfer has been. Certainly hope that the termination of his contract was by mutual consent rather than a pay off!

I'd like to think rather than being paid off so to speak, we continued to pay him until he signs elsewhere. And maybe any difference in wages if he's taken a wage cut.

Seems though that the wage money is there to reinvest so any pay off appears nominal.

 

 

On another note, I'm sure I've had Joe Chalmers in football manager.

My thoughts entirely 

Out of interest, anyone else see that mcnaughton was a trialist for Aberdeen today? "Purely for fitness reasons"

Your signature is rather out of date 

Two Dutch lads coming in on trial next week I'm told.

I sincerely hope that they are better than they succession of third rate Dutch players who came and went at County under Adams.

I have signatures turned off. It could be anything for all I know.

It refers to Bridge and Castle and Butcher.

Really!? That's even more out of date than my one on P & B

Tyrone Smith tweeting that Ridgers and Oakley are now confirmed as having officially signed. 

Wouldn't be too surprised to hear confirmation of OFW's departure in next couple of days.

Any news in Vigurs, is he injured?

Reported Club turned down a £50,000 offer for Draper from across the bridge.

Delighted to hear it as he is key to success.

If true, here's hoping that is with a view to keeping him and mounting a promotion challenge rather than squeezing another ten or twenty thousand out of County or indeed anyone else.

Would be heartbreaking seeing him in one of their strips. 

What a fall from grace it would be for County to poach one of ours. We can't let that happen.

With County in a division higher than us, we have already fallen from grace. We need to be retaining players like Draper rather than letting them cross the bridge for a relative pittance if that situation is to be remedied.

Tell them we'll take their £50,000 but for OFW instead.

More referring to the fact that we used to poach their players like Rankin and Cowie, hopefully Drapes would be more loyal than to move to our main rivals.

Any word about Cammy Mackay?

Last I heard the club were speaking to him but that was a while ago.

I thought this could be his breakthrough season, but perhaps not.

If the club accept a five figure offer from County it says more about the ambition, or perhaps lack of it, from the board rather than Draper's commitment or loyalty which I don't doubt for a minute.

He's been offered and accepted a 1 year deal

I wouldn't part with Draper unless it was for a fee closer to double that.

Was he a Hughes or a Foran signing?

It was a parting shot from Hughes the deal was done before Foran took over.
