Summer transfer targets

[caleydawson]

That's Dundee United's Gavin Gunning been released no doubt he will be moving to the rangers, but with him coming with his family to support us in the final and being good friends with Doran should we have a wee look at him. Also Farid Al-Alagui is considering leaving Brentford if he doesn't get more first team action, he's another player i wouldn't mind looking at.

Looks like Gunning is off to Sheffield Wednesday http://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/sport/dundee-united/gavin-gunning-set-to-move-to-sheffield-wednesday-1.402815

Agree that Al-Alagui is worth looking at. Morgaro Gomis was released too, I liked him in his first spell at United but not heard much about him recently.

[Renegade]

Don't think we need another defender really.  Gunning would probably command a high wage as well.

[AJS]

Alagui would be a great signing.

[RiG]

Gunning also isn't very good. He would be 4th choice at best in our defence.

[ICTRoughi]

Would most defintely like us to sign El Alagui.

[RiG]

James Keatings is leaving Hamilton. Bagged 11 goals in the league last season which isn't too bad considering he was battling with MAC and Scotland for a starting berth. Not fully clued up on him but he might be useful as a back up for Mckay.

[Yngwie]

Leaving Hamilton to sign for Hearts, according to some reports.

[caleydawson]

He is joining hearts because it will better his career  

[Alex MacLeod]

He is joining hearts because it will better his career  

It possibly will. Look at the tv coverage that leagues going to get.

Apparently he has failed his medical due to his knee injury 

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

James Dean has signed another years contract with Chorley

[Huisdean]

I thought he died years ago  !!

James Dean has signed another years contract with Chorley

 

That's a Giant setback

[MacShimidh]

Don Cowie been offered a new contract by Cardiff, but rumours about him heading North (to "wealth-off-the-radar The Rangers")

 

Some interesting chat on the Cardiff forums:
 

Can't help feeling, though, that Don is a bit too good for the Scottish Championship. Think he's from the highlands, though I might be wrong.

 

 

I personally feel that he is waiting for Malky to get a club and then he's off, son of Malky and all that

 

 

 

If he wants to go, good luck to him. He has been a good servant to the club and this move would be back to his national roots. He can leave with his head held high and I for one wish him every success north of the border, both for club and country!!!

 Here's hoping he's been reading about The Ranger's financial state and signs for us for a wage he will actually see!

[Oldken27]

We certainly need to be looking for another striker!

 

We did not score many goals towards the end of the season as McKay's prolific scoring faded. We do not have another out and out goal scorer.

McKay did run dry but I'd put that more down to the playing style robbing him of chances more so than an almighty downturn in form.

Agree. McKays excellent goalscoring in the first half of the season relied upon really quick breaks, defence in disarray, incisive ball into the 6-yard box - GOAL! Slow patient build-up play is not going to suit his style of finishing and Hughes needs to recognise that.

[MacShimidh]

Thirded. He never stopped making the runs or looking for the ball, but kept getting played in far too deep.

In part, maybe just other teams adapting to us - might have happened under Butcher and Malpas.

 

[RiG]

Ryan Baptie has been released by Hibs. 18 year old left back. Could be worth signing him and trying to blood him when Shinnie leaves next season.

Exactly .i.e teams probably have sussed us and Billy.

[finmack]

It looks like we won't be making any new signings.

[Kingsmills]

It looks like we won't be making any new signings.

 

Where have you heard that ?

[Dale94]

It looks like we won't be making any new signings.

You can't just assume that so early, there is plenty of time to make signings and I'm sure they'll come in if Yogi feels he needs them. It's likely that if there are any talks that they won't be heard of with everyone's attention on the World Cup.
