Possible Transfer Targets

[Proctor]

I think John Baird has joined Dundee so we missed out on that one.

[Council Juice]

Stephen Elliot has been/ is getting released from Hearts. Dunno what type of money he was on but he could certainly do a job for us.

[Alex MacLeod]

Proctor, we only miss out if we actually go for someone and another team wins out.

Think Elliott is being released because he's a high earner so unless he's likely to take a big drop then I'm sure he wont come to us. Blackie left us for three ttimes what he earned with us and he's now being released along with a few other high earners at Hearts.

[Proctor]

Fair point Alex.

[DundeeICT]

Gary glen is being released by hearts too. A Possibility? Only 22. Again depends on wages but dont imagine he was a high earner!

[lukemackay]

Stephen elliot fits the bill. Works well as a lone striker can pop up with goal. Only question us wage. Worth a look certainly.

[Libero]

Stephen Elliot is rumoured to be on around £4,000 a week, not a chance we will be signing a player on that sort of money

[AJS]

Gary Glen would still be a shout, he's shown flashes of quality at Hearts and scored some important goals for them too. Combination of managerial changes and 1 or 2 injuries have haulted his progress but he could defnitely do a job for us.

[Govan Jaggie]

Glen scored his first Hearts goal against us as well!

Austin McCann got released today by Dunfermline.

Austin McCann got released today by Dunfermline.

Along with Hardie, Graham, and Mcdougall

Out of that lot maybe David Graham could do a job for us. I have doubts about the rest

The only person I would ideally like from Dunfermline would be Joe Cardle. As you said David Graham would do a job too. Plenty of options out there.

[AJS]

Graham wouldnt be a bad signing, with Aberdeen sniffing Cardle is unlikely to come here...the rest that got chucked are either old or crap.

[+DoofersDad]

I think some folk need to be a bit more realistic about who the club can afford. There are some fanciful suggestions on here.

By the way, I hear Drogba is out of contract and is leaving Chelsea.

Chris Smith and John Potter have been released as well but DONT want them either!

Smith could be the next Andy shinnie. He's our top assisted in the Scottish cup yknow

With all this talk about new players, I had a look up whatever happened to Liam Molesworth (for those who don't remember, he was a cocky little striker that came on trial, apparently thought he was amazing, played one game with the U19s, scored in said game, but was deemed not good enough and not offered a deal). I see he's now playing for Cove FC in the South Australian League. That's basically the third tier of the Adelaide suburbs! He must've been rubbish!

Ian Murray got released by Hibs.

It's the 3rd tier of the South Australia set up. There are only 10 teams in the Australia A league and then 10 teams in the divsions at SA state level. His team are top of the division so you could say they are ranked 22nd in South Australia. It is therefore not as bad as it first appears. We may be talking Highland League level perhaps but the lad has scored 6 goals in 4 appearances so clearly has some potential. It will be worth keeping tabs on what he achieves.

[Guest Mahonio]

Jon Nurse got released by Dagenham and Redbridge, i am certain he was Daggers top scorer, worth a look?

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream, Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream.

[fraser]

7 players released from arsenal. 5 of them are under 21 - surely at least one would want to prove themselves in a league like the spl

Whenever I want you, all I have to do is

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

Chris Mcguire has been told he can leave Derby along with Lee Croft, both are proven SPL players who could do a good job for us.

[Libero]

Mcguire and Croft would both be on wages outwith our reach. Basically we cannot compete with championship teams and would struggle to offer better terms than a lot of league 1 teams. I certainly dont like it but thats the way it is.

St Johnstone were very lucky to have Lee Croft on loan last season (much like us with David Davis) but i would think they, like us, would struggle to offer him wages even close to what he is on.

I would be very suprised if any of the signings we make in the summer will be well known names. I would imagine most will be youngsters being released from U19 squads or academies
