Barrowman wasnt paid to leave. His contract was cancelled. No cash exchange was made. Im sure we wouldve had to pay off Brewster when he got sacked, thats the main one i can think off.

The only talent i seem to recall him having was his ability to take penalties. Saw him to take a couple in the shoot outs we had last season and he always managed to find a top corner. But that is his only real way of hitting the back of the net.

Would be a terrific signing imo. But he is on the back of a difficult season and he wasnt at his best which is probably why all the hype about him died down last season. However we signed Don Cowie in similar circumstances so he could turn out to be great. Would love Richard Brittain as well.

All i can say is he defnitely has a point to prove and if they suffer from a lack of goals this season we will know why.

The only talent i seem to recall De Graaf posessing was the ability to miss open goals. I agree with what your saying, last season they had the likes of Stokes, Miller, Riordan, Brown all hitting full form and imo they were the best side in the league for playing football. Stark contrast to this season where they have been totally dire. But Hibs are paying the price for their lack of stability. 5 managers in 5 years is hardly helpful. Thats 5 different people with different ideas, approaches and plans. Calderwood obviously feels that the squad is in need of a refurbishment and whether fans agree with him or not he is the manager and what he feels is best will be done. I think what Starchief says is right though, they are heading for big problems on the horizon unless they can seriously strengthen their team. Its probably the quickest demise i have seen of a team in a long time, or one that hasnt involved administration anyway.

Glad to see we have aquired Tansey, club seem to be going all out on these 1 year deals though, if most players we sign over the summer are on the same terms then com next summer Ross, Sutherland, Morrison and Shinnie will be our only players under contract. Not too bothered about big Shinnie, but would've like Irvine, especially if we only end up bringing McCann back, imo Irvine wouldve been the better option.

I hope so. He's a great little player. So it is said yet he's never played first team football at a decent level. I take it you've never seen him play before?

Terry and Mo strike me as the sort of guys who would want to know the in's and out's of anything to do with the squad.

Not convinced this guy would become much more than a fringe player. Wonder if we will have another look at Mackay-Steven this summer.

One of the best target man strikers we ever had. His commitment and experience will be a great gain for Dundee.

Irvine has family in the Higlands apparently. He is the nephew of Brian Irvine.

We found Gillet playing for Barnet who stayed up by the skin of they're teeth this season. SPL clubs have unearthed some real gems from League 2, the likes of Gillet, Chris Humphrey, Giles Coke, Richie Foran were all found at the same level and all went on to establish themselves as terrific players in the SPL. Tansey is coming with a good reputation so there is no reason why he wont be just as good as them.

Sounds like Tansey could be a great signing, would love if we could add Tade and Shinnie to the ranks as well and would defnitely prefer Irvine to McCann as a full back.

We had a great midfield last season . Why get rid of good midfield players and then bring in more

P&J has George Fraser saying he expects some new signings to arrive next week, i shan't hold my breath.

Duncan and Duff, your argument there i can understand and i actually agree but McCann and Munro are 2 very different players...i liked McCann though i think he is too injury prone to take a risk on. But you've got to say, who's the better player to have in your team - McCann or Munro? Munro is the handsdown winner. I never really took to McCann at all. He was always injured, slower than a week in jail and couldn't pass the ball to save his life. Yeah i totally agree. Munro is a better player by miles. But im just illustrating that one is a full back and the other is a center half.

Was Mihadjuks not capped while playing for us? Or was he just called up to the squad for the first time while with us?

Partick get hee haw, Tuffey was a free agent when he joined us.

Well at least we are in the driving seat here. Tuffey is too good a keeper to have on the bench, and while it is great to have both he and Esson in the same squad it will never keep both happy. But he has another 12 months to run on his deal so anyone wanting him will have to pay for him. Could raise funds to bring in a good player or could go towards a couple of contracts for any free agents we find.

Anyone offered a new deal by the club is yet to sign just now.

Ross County have signed a premier legaue player there. Glad he hasnt had to move away at all. Hope all goes well for him.

Please stop wearing the skin tight leggings, they simply look ridiculous.

Heard that Chris Innes has agreed a deal to join Dunfermline, dont know if its official or not so placed in the rumour mill. Good luck to him.

Apart from left back and goalkeeper i think we're needing personnel in just about every department.
