Final few days of transfer window, how many in and how many do my fellow posters think will depart? Although I'm not keen on huge turnover of players each season I think there may be 3 incoming and 4 outgoing. Thoughts?

There definitely needs to be outgoings as the squad is bloated. Get 5 or 6 out and maybe a couple in.

I think Souttar and Cameron will go on deadline day, as they'll end up accepting whatever they can get at that point. As time passes by, I'm less certain that Raskin will leave. I think Manny will still be here, and I don't think we'll sell Gassama with the way he's been playing unless we get silly money.
Unsure on Barron as well.

We need 5-10 players out. However, I only see 2-3 max. 2 days left and no real signs of concrete bids. The thing that worries me is that if it is a player who needs replacing, our recruitment would struggle to conclude by the end of the window. It takes them too long. I may be wrong, but it appears that they are stuck in 1st gear, whether it's identifying players and agreeing a deal, arranging visas, sending someone for a medical, getting them registered, getting them on a plane.
As I say, I could be wrong, but the pace appears to be poor.
I don't know the inner workings, but that is the impression that the window has given me. 🐌
Clearly, if it were surplus players like Souttar, McCausland, Nisala, Cameron, Barron, Mio, and Raskin (💷), they wouldn't necessarily be replaced anyway.
If it were Rommens, Aassgaard, Fernandez, or Gassama, we might struggle to replace them. ⏱️

Too late a stage now to get up to 10 players out. Never happening.

If you discount Raskin and Barron and Miovski, we are using a squad of around 22 players (I'm prematurely including Kelsy). If the three go, and the guys like Souttar, Cameron, Nsiala and McCausland too, then I would say that we are still maybe a couple short of the size of squad we would need even without European football.
I think we will sign a couple but they will be loans and maybe not with options to buy.

We have been constantly told on here at least 8 outgoing!!
I await with interest to see if any are sold, or will they be loaned out for peanuts.
