I wonder if we'll finally try to make a move for Lawrie Shankland seeing as we've been looking at him for so long. Surely Dundee Utd can't be rolling in money and afford to turn down a decent offer after COVID.

Presumably he'll end up at Celtic or Rangers

We looked at him last year and decided he wasn't for us. We did find Michael Rose though, so was worthwhile.

Quite the chasm in talent between Borja Baston and Hepburn-Murphy.

Seems like we’ve been linked with Hepburn-Murphy for every window in years.

It was said when we loaned him it was with a view to a further loan/signing this season. Hardly bollocks is it?

He didn't get in the team, played 12 minutes for us and none of the players or Giles himself knew why we got him in.

The loan market will be intresting this year especially if what I read about 5 subs in the PL being something that stays in place for next season.

So you genuinely believe Robins got him in for no reason? Im intrigued to see where any of Giles or the players have said this though should prove fascinating, or as you like to say, its more likely that is also bollocks

@better days is the source for the players thoughts on him. Take that for what you will.

And I think the gist of his view was "he didn't impress his colleagues or the management".

Don't think anybody actually wanted him, he was lazily linked by nonsense rumour accounts.

You're right though, nowhere near good enough for us.

Someone mentioned in one of the other threads that Dennis Politic is looking like he’s going to Blackpool. Can’t see anything on this anywhere.

Would love to see one of Politic or Marcus Browne be next on the list, but feel that may be too many AMs in the squad.

Both would boost the squad so much they are both really good teams

Apologies, if this has already been suggested, but what about Oxford's Matty Taylor as a striker? Good quality and would be some support for Godden.

He's on loan from Bristol City and out of contract I believe, not a great record at Championship level but given our likely budget constraints he might be somebody we'd look at.

I think he’d be a signing that says we’re preparing for relegation and planning to get promoted again the season after.

Hopefully Charlton Rotherham and Wycombe will be in the bottom 3 next season and that we get to consolidate our position as a championship main stay

Gnanduillet is 28, has never played above League One level and has only hit double figures twice in his career. Not for me.

I agree. From the little I’ve seen of him he doesn’t look better than anyone we’ve got.

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, any new signings should either be improvements on our current squad or players with potential to improve the squad. That might include a few ‘risky/optimistic signings’ ie Punts. Step forward Gervaine Kastaneer.
What we don’t want are non - descrpit journeymen who have already had their chance to prove they’re not good enough for the championship.
