Out of the two I'd keep Moffat. Lyle can get in the sea. 

I'd probably keep both - decent young players who are good in spells of games. Neither should start every week but if they can build some consistency into their games they'll come good.

Agree with irnbru on keeping both players. Lyall may learn something from Telfer. Think there's a decent midfielder in him, just need something or someone to crack it. At the moment he's coasting and making no attempt to hide it.

If we can move him and McGinn on, and use the wage to bring in another attacker to either backup or play alongside Stuparevic, I'd count that as a good window.

Only other player on a short term deal that will be due up is Crawford I think? Would be keen to let him and Samuel’s both go and bring in another striker that can play through the middle. Stuparevic can easily play either side of another striker imo.

Crawford was in the Tele saying he has 3 weeks to make a case but hasn't discussed signing extension so looks like he is here until end of January

not surprised to see Samuels leave.  At the time I thought it was a strange signing and it clearly hasn't worked out with him playing very few minutes, so I am happy for him to move on with my best wishes and hopefully make way for someone else

yeah Samuels & Crawford are the only 2 up in Jan.  I feel a bit more ambivalent about Crawfords future - he was miles off it in his first spell but looked decent in the games he has played this season and is probably an upgrade on Lyall at this stage so if he can prove his fitness I would be ok with him staying.  If on the other hand there is another player available who would improve the team, I would be happy for us to part ways and free up another wage.  I really hope that terminating McGinns loan is an option as he has brought nothing to the team and actually cost us a couple of times with sloppy passes & being caught in possession.

As well as hopefully bringing in a couple of new signings in January, I would like to see us try and get some extensions done for key players in the backbone of the team because the list of players out of contract at the end of the season is pretty scary.  IIRC we got a few extensions done last January so hopefully this is being looked at as well as strengthening

Is McGinn here for the season?

There's a storm on the horizon

And for that I can't see the sun

For I'll keep a waiting on the pavement

For the ice cream van to come

Afraid so, aye. Can’t help but think that media work with Radio Scotland and Ferry and his pals is the main motivation for being in Scotland. He just wouldn’t have income streams like that by playing in Northern Ireland with Glentoran.

I watched an Open Goal he was on before Xmas, he seems to think he’s got another 2 years left in him. Fuck knows what level he thinks that’s at.

He needs to be released immediately but Dougie seems to like him so can't see it happening.

Apparently us and Airdrie are in for Ricco Diack on loan from Partick. Could be rubbish but was from a pretty good source…. I hope it’s nonsense. 

I like Diack. He's always been a bit of an arsehole against us and is a presence. Has some ability as well.

Would be quite happy with this. Has always looked like he offers Partick something a bit different when he comes off the bench. However, for patter I would love this to be a completely made up rumour that TransferScot on X picks up on and jumps at the chance to post about it.

If Partick are loaning Diack out it won't be to another Championship club, and if it was it certainly wouldn't be to us where he'd be sitting on the bench behind Stuparevic. If he goes out on loan he'll be dropping down a division or two in order to start games, any attacking player we bring in is coming in as cover.
