I'd put Edozie and Rak Saki in that list of options.

03 Sep 2026 03:08:04
Free CD

Diogo Liete - LCB he's been mentioned before.

Jonathan Panzo - I'm sure we've been linked with him before and he's capped up to England u21

Iva Gelashvili - Vapped all levels for Georgia

Jamaal Lascelles

Adam Masina

Jason Denayer

I don't even think prime Messi would improve us just now absolutely dire outplayed by Falkirk for large sections of the game.

03 Sep 2026 07:22:07
Chris Smalling dor me.

03 Sep 2026 08:26:11
Liete or Lascelles for me.

03 Sep 2026 01:58:57
I've just picked a random Attacking midfielder who is a free agent out a hat.

Tony Rölke. Anyone know anything about him? Seems to have decent stats. Maybe worth a punt for nothing? 😂

Or how about Rodrigo Ramos 22 from Portugal?

Or Alaa Bakir?

Paul Mensah? Ghana

What about Robin Ramos a wee pal for Kelsey?

And my personal favourite is Emilio Estevez who played for Hong Kong Rangers and I thought he was magnificent in Young Guns, St Elmo's Fire and one of my favourite movies and books The Outsiders. If you haven't seen it - it's a must watch/read.

There could be a wee gem to be found and maybe they just need someone to give them a wee chance.

03 Sep 2026 07:06:21
Seriously, Gazza 🤯, not even a mention of "The Mighty Ducks". 🤣🤣👍

03 Sep 2026 07:24:11
Absolutely honking that no Mighty Ducks mentioned lol.

03 Sep 2026 10:25:13
Hahaha. 😝

The Outsiders everyday for me.

03 Sep 2026 10:34:04
Breakfast Club. 👍

03 Sep 2026 00:30:56
Kelsey will be last piece of buisness all in all good window

03 Sep 2026 05:36:18
Agreed!

03 Sep 2026 07:10:37
An all good window. How do we look worse than our team in League 2?

03 Sep 2026 07:16:56
Do we though, or are you being very dramatic to make some sort of point?

03 Sep 2026 07:52:09
Going by the games so far, I do think we're worse than back then. Considering the amount of money we have spent, we got outplayed by Falkirk. We don't look like we have any sort of distinguishable style of play, and, quite frankly, it's not good enough.

03 Sep 2026 07:55:19
We only have 4 players for across both wings and attacking midfield. How can that be good?

03 Sep 2026 08:02:18
That's not purely based on transfer, though, is it? Are you sure we would have attracted players like Makhanya, Minsu, Pandur or Drago in Division 2?

The team are trying to gel and find a formation which works after a turbulent summer.

Let's show some patience and support while they do.

This season will be brutal, but I'm expecting us starting next season in a stronger position than we started this season.

03 Sep 2026 08:19:01
We will show stronger once the window is closed, and as time goes on this season. We won and created more than Falkirk. Yes, they pop the ball around well, as they are used to that abomination of a pitch, and glad it is last year they get that advantage.



We also won a game which we would have lost or drawn in previous seasons. Was it good or pretty? Then no, that comes quicker.

And really worse than Kyle, Cribari, Faure and Argyriou? You are having a laugh.

03 Sep 2026 08:20:41
Massive upheaval within the team, things will take time to settle properly.

03 Sep 2026 00:07:27
Think we all agree now the sacking and hiring has to stop. We brought in 13 players and our supposedly big earners sales wise are injured, playing rubbish, away on loan or cannot get rid. We are grounding out results but I still think we lack quality in depth.

However it is what it is now. Positives. The development of the younger players out on loan hopefully will beacon in a new period in our club.

03 Sep 2026 00:46:19
McInnes will win us trophies if we stick with him.

I don't think we'll win any this season, hope I'm wrong, but we stick with the man and build slowly, and not expecting to win the league every season, just to implode when reality kicks in a few weeks later.

03 Sep 2026 05:37:59
I agree on both counts, Steve, as long as we see an improvement on the park (which requires time), then he'll come good.

I just don't want another rebuild next summer. We need to coach and improve the players rather than ripping up and starting again.

02 Sep 2026 23:34:19
Was it just me, or were Raskin and Devlin dropping FAR too deep to collect the ball?

At times we had both midfielders practically sitting on top of the centre-backs, leaving a massive gap between midfield and the forward line. No wonder the forwards looked isolated.

One of the things I actually liked against Aberdeen was seeing the midfielders press higher and keep the team compact. It gave us much better connections between midfield and attack.

But if Devlin isn't that player who is going to consistently get higher up the pitch and link with the forwards, then surely it has to be Raskin.

Raskin has the ability to carry the ball, play through the lines and actually influence the game further forward. Devlin is much more suited to sitting, covering and doing the dirty work.

So why are we constantly asking both of them to come deep?

Raskin deeper with Devlin higher makes little sense to me. It should be the other way round.

Let Devlin protect the back four and let Raskin get closer to the attack. We need midfielders occupying the space between the opposition midfield and defence, not creating another 20-yard gap for the forwards to try and bridge themselves.

The Aberdeen game showed that simply having the midfield 10–15 yards higher makes us look a completely different team. Surely we need to build on that rather than going back to the same problem.

02 Sep 2026 23:41:49
I think the players are very nervous with regards to Manny just now, and you'll probably notice them all playing against the manager's wishes a wee but simply out of instinct towards Manny's vulnerabilities now.

03 Sep 2026 00:14:35
I really like Fernandez, but he needs to be taken out of the team right now, Godfrey in next game.

03 Sep 2026 05:39:21
I think he needs a reality check, my star, he's not as good as his advisors are telling him.

If he works hard and improves, then a move will come, if not he'll end up back in League 1.

03 Sep 2026 06:58:41
We will get ripped apart against them 2 weeks on the bounce if Manny is still in the team. He has really fallen by the wayside. He absolutely terrifies me when he's on the ball, he's a liability at the moment. It's a hard watch.

03 Sep 2026 07:19:59
What's worse, Blue49, he looks like he's impacting Makhanya's confidence, who appears to be more worried about Fernandez than the man he's marking.

Got to get him out the team asap and get him wanting to work hard for a move. Nobody will be interested in him either, his current performances. If he's not smart, we will be the biggest team he ever plays for.

03 Sep 2026 07:25:10
He needs a reasonably extended time out the team.

I wonder if he's carrying a knock.

03 Sep 2026 08:01:06
Maybe Raskin and Devlin kept dropping back because Manny is causing such panic like commentary and pundits were all saying. That and he was just punting it miles over them when he wasn't passin to Mak.

02 Sep 2026 23:31:12
McInnes has just confirmed in an interview there. No more players will be leaving the club.

02 Sep 2026 23:38:57
That's disappointing, would have liked to see Nsiala get a move away for some game time and see Sterling getting off the books.
