I'd quite like Castledine, he has something about him and is a decent option as a back up for now.

The owners name was Doug King.
To the fans he was known as the Bling.
He binned off Louis Binks.
Bought in Harry Winks.
And Esse, and Piroe, and Mings.

*disclaimer, if we sign Tyrone Mings after his name was the only one I could think of that rhymed, I want to be know as Chief ITK!

I'll trust Austin and the team whoever they choose

Im 40, hugely overweight, my knees are shot to pieces, I get random bouts of sciatica, and only ever been bang average at football. I'd still look good in the spl. When will people stop using Celtic and Rangers as a benchmark for "good" in Scotland? They're ALL shit!

We got jutkievicz from Motherwell!

I understand the quality isn't great but rangers did make Europa final 3 years ago and Celtic gave Bayern a great 2 legged game just last year

Will be some players worth looking at.

If I ever became a football commentator, I couldn’t wait to use this line if Harry Winks ever took a penalty…

(runs to ball) “Harry Winks?”
(ball nestles in goal) “Harry scores!”

But he doesn’t take penalties. And I’m 50 in 9 weeks so this scenario is unlikely, granted.

Jutkievicz has never been anything more than an average championship clogger.

2 seasons ago we gave 2 EPL teams very good games in the FA Cup.
Whilst in L2 we beat PL Stoke in the FA Cup. All teams are capable of one off upsets and go above and beyond for a special occasion. It doesnt mean theyre at that level or could maintain that level on the longer term. Not a single player from that L2 FA Cup upset have made it at a level higher than L1. Not 1. So why would we look at that team winning as anything other than a one off? We certainly wouldn't poach players from that team moving forward to, hopefully, a season in the EPL next season? Jack Grimmer to replace MVE anyone?

The SPL is L1 standard at best. Celtic and Rangers have always been a Championship level team stuck at the top in L1. They cant even muster that this season. Look at Kyogo who you mentioned. Looked a great player there, cant even get in to the starting 11 of what is a bang average mid-table championship team. There are no players worth looking good at, especially if we're looking for players to step up a level next season. The SPL to the championship is already a huge step, let alone the EPL.

From a poor league, looked like he could / can develop into a really good player. Can’t see it happening.

Winks would be a good signing. Only seen Clint mention it just now on here.

I believe Winks is on seriously big money at Leicester which I just don't think we would or should match.

Of the names mentioned Esse and Castledine are the one's that really stand out to me, and signings I would like to see us make if possible.

Esse and Castledine would make a big difference and cover where we have basically zero depth i.e. right wing and no. 10. More than them is a bonus.

I'm not sure George and Ferguson are realistic shouts, but yes if we were to sign them I would be very happy to have them join us.

Neil is a solid Championship player and if we sign him then fair enough, but he seems a similar player to Eccles to me so doesn't really excite me like the other 2 you mention, or Esse or Castledine.

Neil would play a different role if Eccles’ ‘best’ position is now 10
