Looking ahead to next season, regardless of the league we are in, today and most of this season has shown that we need to improve in areas of the park so the priorities in the next transfer market has to be defenders, especially centre half and right back.  I think we probably also need a striker as well, preferably one that scores regularly. 

To be honest, this also depends on who stays or goes because players like Donaldson, Polworth and Doran will be linked away.

I'm not sure on this one, but it could be beneficial in his development as a player.

Alfredo Agyeman, Italian forward recently been on loan to Kilby from the Motherwell Reserves, I'm not entirely sure on it, but if Jordan ends up leaving (like most of our top goal scorers do after one season) it would make sense to have a backup striker, and this lad could be promising...maybe take him in on a trial in the summer.

According to Pie and Bovril Partick are interested in White. 

Getting back on track we need 2 solid full backs( hoping Carlo lasts another season), retain our centre backs, find a creative midfielder and a pacy forward like McMullan.

He’s a good player, I’d take him.

Never wer not 2 far away a bit of quality up front and in the middle of the park instead of the usual unknown shirt fillers use our talented youngsters to fill the squad least it's building for the future and as I say can relate to these young guns rather than poor quality players from minor leagues in Ireland or England only way ahead been years since wev unearthed a gem from English lower leagues Tansey was the last 1

You obviously don't understand what I mean by structure. I will try to explain.

■ Totally revamp our youth "academy" to include only kids with potential - numbers mean nothing if none are good enough

■ Have a defined path for youth to progress to full-time football with education integrated with training and coaching

■ All full-time players should be playing regularly at either first team or reserve team level

■ If you are employed full-time you should work full-time.  Employees (players/coaches etc) should be promoting the club to encourage local support.

I could go on and on but I would no doubt bore the drawers off you. Structure is about the whole business from grass roots up - not just the first team

With chalmers, Trafford and Donaldson leaving us on top of polworth loss I trust Robbo will recruit well. Badly need a full back.

Perhaps or maybe or should we read too much into Donaldsons recent twitter post ? - "Been a pleasure working with all these boys this season! Disappointing way to end but we certainly have a lot of positives to look back on! See yous next season"  - And Trafford posted "Devastating way to end the season. What a group of boys to play along side. Proud of all everyone at @ICTFC Regroup and come back stronger next year."

I haven't heard the Trafford rumour,  but I heard last night that Chalmers and Donaldson are County bound next season.

Austin signed for Kelty Hearts apparently

Dancer if somebody takes Trafford of our hands for a small fee get him gone sharpish far better players out there out of contract

County are rumoured to be wanting Coll and Charlie so they will get them. Done deals.

Rumoured=Done deals ?

?

 

Jesus have County got Ray Charles doing there scouting can do a buy 1 get 1 free deal buy Chalmers get Triffid thrown in grab any transfer fee for that duo before they change there mind ffs

Chalmers is off - Coll is staying put with an increased contract - I thought that Trafford was our most improved performer of late.

I hope you are right regarding Coll and I hope we can keep Trafford as well as you have said he has improved a lot lately.

Just so long as John Robertson doesn't leave......eh?

 

Money talks every time.  First it was Aberdeen, now County with the open purses.  Oh well, our Club will unearth new players and then who will entice them away.    I recall quite a few “unknowns” who came to ICT, ie Draper, Tansey and who then left for the lure of the filthy lucre.  So be it.
