Can’t believe it’s Friday and this thread is just beginning..We must be buzzing for the season to get started. TEAM Sneddon Williamson Oware Mcginty Penrice Palmer Bannigan Cardle Gordon Robson Miller SUBS Fox, Niang,Saunders, Wilson, De Vita, Mansel, Jones would like to see Austin but I’m sure Caldwell said the Utd game at the earliest for him. We should certainly be looking to win this so here’s hoping for a big support and a good performance.

Freddie Frans has been completely banished by Neilson Please come home Freddie

Obviously talking about the 2 already signed smarty pants. De vita looked done in after only 10 minutes on Saturday Austin would be a cracking signing though so let’s hope all is well and it goes ahead

Signing expected in next 48 hours. Medical found bruising around his knee and due to him suffering a previous ACL Thistle want his scans inspected by experts in Glasgow looks like Caldwell is trying to sign every crock going de vita Alex Jones

Definitely need to up our game today but feel it’s one we could win. No doubt Caldwell will go with 3-5-2 but I would prefer to see a change in formation Sneddon Williamson, Oware, Mcginty, Robson De Vita, Gordon, Bannigan, Cardle Miller, Jones Subs Fox, Saunders, Penrice, Palmer, Wilson, Mansel, Galasso

Been brought on to usher through the takeover or block it perhaps

While there’s no doubt we still have plenty time for signings I can’t help but feel slightly concerned at present. We have been promised 2-3 players coming in for the last 3 weeks now and we finally get an 18year old Rangers Kid who has never made a first team appearance. (Shades of a panic buy to me as I know he seen the boy for the first time the night before at a bounce game at Murray park) lack of signings -17 currently signed but this could be argued as 16 as I don’t believe Callum Wilson will be a first team pick. I believe we are currently 3rd bottom in terms of signed players. Our squad depth is non existent. lack of quality - this for me is The biggest concern. Only my opinion but Gk slots, big Tam, Stuart Bannigan, Joe Cardle (if he plays him) and Maybe Senior Citizen Miller have the quality needed to be part of a league winning side. We have zero pace and only Cardle who has any Attacking creativity. We are way off a Championship winning team and need to add real quality to even think about challenging. GC has said we have a very strong first 11 but I couldn’t disagree more unfortunately. Add to this the failure to sell hospitality for the Airdrie match and failing to generate much interest in the second meet the manager night. Are things really ok. Time to be concerned?

He’s a ball winning midfielder who does the simple things well.. The boy Ayr signed is an Attacking midfielder who is technically very good

51 pages of utter guff and one man acting like a 5 year old suggesting he’s ITK but can’t say..Well how about just saying nothing. one thing is for sure when this season starts to go wrong like lack of signings, type of signings and ultimately results. This will be the exact excuse used by those in power. lets all act like adults and show a little patience until something is actually happening

2-2 today against Falkirk we we’re 2-0 up brought the kids on second half and it finished 2-2. Shea came of injured looked in pain..o’ware hit post twice. No trialists..Bannigan penalty and Mansel volley 0-0 Motherwell midweek fraser fyvie was trialist

Especially if there isn’t an immediate loan back

Surely playing him in a potential championship winning team is better development than sticking him in their under 23’s i would imagine that Fitzy would of preferred that also. we should of demanded an immediate loan back as part of the deal. poor again from us I feel as his style will be hard to replace

I thought it was said at some point we knocked back a 7 figure sum for him

That was my point really..if we don’t offer deals to the other 2 then it was all a waste of time and makes you wonder about his plans for the season or maybe lack of. Luke Wall has also been plucked from the Lower leagues so not holding much hope

Sam Scrivens hasn’t been offered a deal even though his old club posted that he had signed for us so that’s one trialist we took abroad not signing..unsure on the other 2

Sam Scrivens is one of the Trialists and he was one of the scorers yesterday..Another English club looking to sign him also

Someone commented on Twitter that Islam Feruz was one..Could be nonsense though

We can hope.....he’s very very good

It was a bit tongue and cheek...left to better himself comes back second choice

I would like to see GK (back up) - Scott Fox RB (who can also play DC) - Jack Mcmillan DM (total ball winner) - Ross Mccrorie (loan) AM (number 10) - Scott Wright Winger (cover for Cardle/Fitzy) -Keillor Dun ST (must have at least 3) - Rudden/Murray/Shaw

He’s obviously meaning 7 weeks until first Championship game which is August 3rd..Bet Fred games must be part of pre season..Also slightly concerned on lack of strikers..I believe Lewis Mansell will be announced tomorrow

pre Season starts tomorrow with all the players in for initial testing

Partick Thistle have held talks with Michael Tidser about joining the club. The midfielder signed a pre-contract with Falkirk but had an option to void if they got relegated, which they did. Understand he met with Gary Caldwell on Wednesday. From journalist Euan Booth Robertson

Kris Boyd signing in the next couple days supposedly

The whole point of the thread was to get everyone’s suggestions on positions needing covered and who they would like to see at the club..Give us some players from the lower league you think would help..I just want success at my club not too fussed on who delivers that
