The left back from Hearts we are supposed to be getting 

Hmmm. 19 year old promising player. Seems highly rated, I just hope he can hit the ground running.

Obviously gutted to lose Harry as he's been a great signing and seems a very nice lad. All the best to him at Hearts. I feel he deserves a shot at top-flight football. Just a shame it won't be with us.

It's sad to be losing Milne but what a great move for him. He's been brilliant for us, arguably our best player over the last 3 seasons and will be very difficult to replace. 

A five figure fee is probably about right given he's out of contract in the summer and getting a player on loan in return. An argument to be had about difference in prizemoney between 4th and 5th but if we can't finish 4th in this league with the squad we have then we have bigger problems than losing Harry Milne. 

I think the club & Doolan are also unlikely to want to stand in Milne's way at a relatively life changing transfer for him. From part time to Thistle to the 4th biggest team in the country within a few years is great testament to him. 

A very good player and seems like a decent guy as well, best of luck to him.

Interesting to note the players who have gone on to better things (SPL) over the last 18 months. Holt, Docherty, Tiffoney, Turner (briefly), McMillan (Exeter), and now Milne. All signed by McCall. Always thought it would have been advantageous had McCall moved upstairs to oversee recruitment but that ship has sailed. 

That proposal was put forwards to the Board when we were still paying his Salary on Gardening Leave - but the view from certain people is that he was not to be involved with the Club on any level - some people really really disliked him on a personal level

Well if that’s true then it’s really sad we have/had some petty minded individuals  who put their agendas ahead of what would have been good for the club.

Whilst losing Milne isn't great, it's probably the best thing that could happen in the circumstances. 

He's unlikely to make the difference between getting into the playoffs and getting promoted and would be away at the end of the season anyway. We'd end up with nothing in that scenario. 

Getting money for a guy on the way out anyway isn't something we can turn our noses up at unfortunately

Scott Martin would be a decent signing. I thought when Docherty left the closest thing to replacing him. I don't think he has Docherty's creativity but he's proper ball winner and leader.

If Robinson is going the other way then I would still think we go the better of the deal. To my mind whilst Robinson is intelligent and a proper nuisance up front his pace has dropped off to the level that if he was staying he shouldn't be an automatic starter.

If Martin does arrive it probably means Stanway's chances are limited. Equally a midfield 3 from 5 of Martin, McBeth, Bannigan, Crawford and Turner looks much more interesting. Personally I'd like to see us give Ablade a run in a 4-4-2 and go with Martin and Turner in the middle.
