Defo a fee involved at least but their wording is he is joining permanently in January.

Disappointing to have his move confirmed. We maybe should have asked for the fee now rather than in January?

Not disappointing if we get Robert’s instead 

Myles was very impressive during his spell with us. Made great saves, which no doubt rescued a good few points. Can't see why a keeper with that ability should be a likely signing unless his distribution is still poor. If it still is, it's a difficult one for Wilson/Rae to get round.

Fair point. Myles was fantastic at commanding his box, catching crosses and corners, and making saves. As regards distribution, his default option was to kick (very) long, and he was not good at looking for quick options to roll or kick out to defenders. 

Did Doolan not have enough authority as a "temporary manager of an on loan player" to encourage/compel him to change his ways? Surely these skills are "coachable" by Arthur, Wilson & Rae, and if Myles is to sign for us permanently, it would be a compulsory requirement that he co-operates in playing "Wilson-ball"?

The Fee will be a % of the Training Compo - he was never a Thistle Player & the bulk of the Money will go to Celtic. 

Don’t think so. My understanding is that Josh IS a Thistle player, on loan to Doncaster. Effectively a try before you buy deal.

Useless fact …. There are claims that Doncaster is part of Scotland (look it up)

Ok - stand corrected - just very odd that the Club never stated he was our player prior to Doncaster announcement

For a “supporter owned” club we ain’t that great at keeping supporters updated - then again perhaps there isn’t much to update.

What have we not been updated on?

Playing side has been okay, the club can't generally respond to rumour and hearsay.

Off the field not great, I would agree.

Ingram looked a Rolls Royce of a player in the championship so to get him on a 2 year deal looks a really good bit of business particularly as he's only 23

A goalkeeper, attacking midfielder and a  covering left-back then its very difficult to spot a gap.

When you add in they are all permanent signings we look in really decent shape

Great minds think alike (lets forget the rest of that saying).

I wonder if Low might get the nod as covering left back as he seems to have done well in the 2 open door friendlies plus he is already on the wage bill.

I think Low needs loaned out to somewhere league 1 or league 2 that will play him every week. 

I think Wilson would be more tempted to cover Reading by moving Loughrey or O'Reilly given Ingram can cover in centre of defence. 

I would be surprised if Wilson signed another leftback rather than taking a cheap loan from a premier league team that was just wanting to get a younger player the experience of being part of a first team squad and not fussed how often they played

If we sign a left back to compete with Reading its would have to be with the belief that we are going all out to win the league
