To the lads ITK as they say lol
Amy news on potential targets for January?
04 Nov 2025 16:35:10
Stevie prior to helwell and martin we had I'd three bosmans, they are all international defenders not playing in uk.
04 Nov 2025 17:25:58
I see John so theoretically speaking they'll be free to sign in January but maybe not arrive until next summer?
I'd hope we can sort something a bit more urgently than that John but thanks for wee update as always mate.
04 Nov 2025 17:29:18
David Watson linked with celtic. Anyone know if we have an interest?
04 Nov 2025 18:00:57
Not heard a peep I'm afraid.
04 Nov 2025 18:19:47
John wee question mate, I know you said some of your info came from an agent, is the agent a Rangers man, because that's where I was getting most from an agent that was, and he's over your area, but it's kinda dried up, last a heard was about a French lb playing in Italy.
04 Nov 2025 18:34:07
Just had a look he's not French, Spanish, Aaron Martin.
04 Nov 2025 19:46:27
My str sorry no clues mate.
04 Nov 2025 19:55:39
I hope we sign 2 centre halves in January Stevie. Both Djiga and Souttar ain't good enough IMO ?.
04 Nov 2025 20:07:54
Cool John ?, I been wondering that since Beale was manager mate.
04 Nov 2025 20:08:23
Florida I totally agree mate. I'd be happy with loans if must be just to we get to the summer and rebuild properly
We need to fix a lot but for me 2 centre backs that inow league would be good.
I'd be in for Katic for sure. He's actually a very good defender, players learn and improve. Especially defenders
Look at Craig Moore for example, and to a lesser degree Steven Presley even.
We need a striker, a right winger and 2 centre backs.
04 Nov 2025 20:18:28
Wouldn't mind Watson.
04 Nov 2025 22:31:13
Watson supports them, so if they are interested it would be his destination of choice.
04 Nov 2025 22:40:46
If we could take our chances we wouldn't need to worry about dodgy refs.
04 Nov 2025 23:22:00
Watson definitely a big Celtic fan.
05 Nov 2025 06:49:16
Florida I agree our weakest position
But I also think. our 10 million néw striker just won't cut it either,
Shoot me down
But God how long dose a gut need
3 years at Everton no return
N just one goal here
He looks lost at times
A bit more firepower
Is definitely needed.
05 Nov 2025 08:03:09
Sold or returned 63 goals?.
05 Nov 2025 08:44:35
Everton ruined Chermiti, should have loaned him back to sporting then all last season he was basically injured. He's not had the games to get the experience. He also didn't decide his fee. He should never have been signed. Although I do think he has potential that's absolutely no good for us.
05 Nov 2025 08:48:17
Svante Ingelsson-Sheffield Wednesday Midfielder
Ben Wilmot-Stoke City Centre Back-Out of contract in summer.
Only two I've heard as of yet.
05 Nov 2025 09:07:50
Would tomyasu be worth a short term deal.
05 Nov 2025 09:19:28
I don't have any names, but what I have heard will surprise nobody. Danny Rohl made it clear that he expects a dominant Centre Half, playmaker midfielder and goalscoring striker to be bought in January. I'm told that his targets have been identified and the defender and midfielder are close to being signed. The striker is likely to be dependent on sales, with one of the existing strikers needing to be moved on before another purchase is given the go ahead. Given Miovski and Chermiti are both recent signings, it would appear the likeliest is Danilo who is the only one showing a bit of form.
Also heard that Rohl isn't happy with the number of loan signings in key positions, but has accepted that if he wants to sign more than a couple of players in January they may need to be loans at least in the first instance.
05 Nov 2025 10:20:34
I ain't convinced on Chermiti either yet but I accept he needs time ?.
05 Nov 2025 11:36:23
Florida - if he wants the 9 he can't expect time.
Our first team is not a training ground for a project player.
Give him minutes, yes. But with the amount he's been getting he needs to start producing fast.
05 Nov 2025 11:59:29
Do the bouncy Rangers are prepared to sell Miovski Antman and Rothwell along with Matondo.
05 Nov 2025 12:26:32
John have we had in the 4 u mention? Not only loan interest?
Is Antman having trouble settling mate, I don't think we will have any problems selling him back to Holland whatsoever.
05 Nov 2025 12:47:02
John those 3 Antman. Miovski plus Rothwell cost 6.5-7 m GBP. (Transfermarkt)
Would be lucky to get half of that back at the current rate more disasters from Thelwell.
05 Nov 2025 13:09:33
Stevie, there is interest in all four, strangely I'm told Miovski can't settle and wants out.
05 Nov 2025 13:35:03
Haven't heard any of those names John, bit surprised at some of them if I'm being honest but if it frees up space and wages then it won't be a bad thing.
05 Nov 2025 13:52:54
Agreed mvg ?.
05 Nov 2025 14:08:56
John - Miovski is the only surprise there imo.
Do Antman and Miovski want to leave?
05 Nov 2025 14:23:54
Burt so let's keep them, not buy anyone else.
05 Nov 2025 14:48:40
Miovski just in door and knows surely what he was coming too having played with Aberdeen
Not getting that at all
Is it more to do with behind the scenes at our club?
05 Nov 2025 14:50:13
Mcg, Antman yes, Miovski debatable.
We have a scout at villa game watching Aidan Borland,
Side note the lad Wilson scored three,
05 Nov 2025 15:11:10
Miovski is a strange one with him having played and experienced the demands of the league with the sheep, tbh he's not the player he was with them.
05 Nov 2025 15:57:33
Wilson could do with a loan to league 1 England and I reckon then top end of championship and then he's going to be some asset for villa whether that's as a player or to sell.
We may be too big a club for Antman. Miovski, dare I say Rothwell too.
John thanks as always for wee bits of info mate ??.
05 Nov 2025 15:58:49
I thought Miovski would be a good signing for us to be honest. Strange he's saying not settled given he lived in Scotland before. If we get our money back on him would take it as doesn't seem to be working out.
Antman I had high hopes for, for some reason I get the impression Rohl doesn't rate him however. I'm sure we would get our money back on him.
Rothwell doesn't look a good fit for us, I'm sure we could sell him.
I would also be looking to cash in on Raskin.
05 Nov 2025 16:49:07
Florida bear I feel Chermiti has to score in at least three of the next five league games, he's another Sadiq/silva imo.
05 Nov 2025 17:25:09
Good post bee. I'd move Rothwell paid less than 400k for him, it's about getting his wage off the bill for me.
05 Nov 2025 17:27:31

"Also heard that Rohl isn't happy with the number of loan signings in key positions, but has accepted that if he wants to sign more than a couple of players in January they may need to be loans at least in the first instance. "
Whoever told you that information might want to check before they start telling every man and their dog. We only have one loan slot available so we won't be signing multiple loans in the first instance.
05 Nov 2025 23:48:16
John the 4 you mentioned if we could get buyers the sensible thing to do would be to get shot of and as you say free up space and wages for Rohl to get in players he thinks will suit his system.
Maybe with Antman, Motondo we could do the buy one get one free deals,
06 Nov 2025 07:17:25
Matondo is out of contract in the summer. No one's buying him in January.
06 Nov 2025 09:19:31
John Sadiq played 1 game for us and Silva was played out of position for 85% of his time cause we had no RWs after the only one we had Sima got injured and Silva made the might Alistair Johnston look average, not doing too bad elsewhere is he?
We need to stop writing players off cause it takes time to settle and get used to things, Igamane is a prime example Clement didn't start or have him on the bench instantly. Raskin wasn't great the first couple of months and took him til Clement's next season to start performing. Chermiti should be learning under Dessers right now, Danilo was always a second striker or 10 and Miovski is a prime example of why just cause you can do it for another team in Scotland, doesn't mean you can for Rangers cause it's completely different playing against teams in low blocks and are more up for it cause its Rangers.
06 Nov 2025 10:35:03
Bear1986, I just noticed your post mate, on Ben Wilmot, only seen him a few times, but can remember him playing rb against Sunderland.
06 Nov 2025 10:00:46
Scott, it came from a source in the club, so excuse me while I believe them over you.
06 Nov 2025 11:10:28
Do you think I've made up about how many loans we're allowed?
06 Nov 2025 12:34:35
Do you think my source is lying?
06 Nov 2025 12:34:35
Do you think my source is lying?
06 Nov 2025 16:06:10
We literally have only one loan space left. I've not made that up myself.
06 Nov 2025 19:02:13
If Russell Martin gets the southampton job seen as he is bookies favourite maybe we will sign some of the players like Rothwell ?.
