Libero

it is being reported that Butcher and Malpas are going to be offered new contracts: Linky Fantastic news IMO, Butcher and Malpas has showed enormous passion, determination and drive in their efforts to take this club onwards, i hope they are at the helm for years to come. In Tel we trust.

Certainly hope its a false alarm and Tokely is free to play

Just heard, I think Tokely may be suspended for the Motherwell game! Disaster!

I agree, the reports from people who saw him play the other night sound favourable, understandably it was against HL competition but by the sounds of it he likes to get stuck in and has a good range of passing. With our current lack of options at RB i can see Terry signing him up

Just read this on the official site, fantastic news!! Linky

Yeah thats the one, Butcher mentions in one of the articles that he was an U21 international and recently played against the Scotland U21s

Michael Andrews, who was on trial with us has signed for Montrose

is currently on trial with us, he is predominantly a right back but can also play left back. According to todays Highland News and Press and Journal, he played at Buckie last night and recently turned out for Kilmarnock as a trialist playing at Ross County at the weekend. He played 45 mins at right back and 45 mins at left back over the bridge Anyone who was at last nights game notice how he played?

The highland news reporting that it was the Austrian RB that played:

its easily done! ive done the similar on many occasions!

Its actually our former loan striker Alex Macdonald (who is now back at Burnley) that tweeted that unfortunately Would have certainly taken Chris McCann

Thats the team i think he'll go for If it were me then i'd go: --------------ESSON------------- PROCTOR(SEEING AS WE HAVE NO OTHER RBs)------TOKELY--------ALDRED----GILLET DORAN-------TANSEY------SHINNIE------HAYES --------ROSS(BASICALLY FREE ROLE BEHIND THE STRIKER)------------------------------ --------------------------------FORAN-----

I agree in a way, if we had held onto Grant and Russell then we would have a settled team going into the new season. New players always take time to gel with the team It all comes down to whether he can replace them with better players

Been a while since we've done one of these, may as well start the ball rolling early: Saw this in todays courier: If no further signings are made before saturday then i think with our injury sitation a little better and with the likely formation change that Butcher has alluded to, i think we might line up something like this: -----------ESSON--------- PROCTOR-----TOKELY-------ALDRED-------GILLET -----------TANSEY---------- DORAN-------------------------ROSS --------------HAYES------------ ------TADE---------FORAN----------

Jamie Stevenson will not be offered a contract according to todays Inverness Courier The article also says that Butcher is keen to add a defender, central midfielder and striker to the squad A boost on the playing front as well in that Tade is pushing to be fit for this Saturdays SPL opener as well as Sutherland and fellow new signing Billy McKay

Cant remember seeing Vidal when he was on loan at Aberdeen but i think Brian McLean would be a pretty good addition Completely indifferent about Ross, really cant decide whether he'd be a worthwhile signing, didnt really set the heather alight at Motherwell

Any players, recently released that ICT fans think could do a job for us? I'll start, Robbie Neilson just released by Leicester, right back, formerly of Hearts. Marauding right wing back from what i can remember about him We're crying out for a right back, not sure if he'd be out of our price-range though

What position has he played so far in the friendlies?

he is to be told today whether he has earned a contract or not Personally i havent seen him play so cant really comment What about anyone that has seen him play in friendlies so far? Worth a deal?
