Squad and transfers 2019/20

[Hej 183]

Probably time for a dedicated thread.

 

So far we have Lyons, Dykes, Pearson signed for next year with Millar, McAlister and Buchanan with an auto-deal on the table. Anyone else I've forgotten?

As far I’ve been told on another thread what you’ve said is correct. Hoppy has said though that he’ll speak to all those who are out of contract. I’m just wondering though how many of those players plus the ones you’ve mentioned would fit into the high press, high fitness style that’s being spoken about, with the 3-5-3 formation that Hoppy may favour. I’d think Lyon and McAlister from the above, plus maybe Strapp at LWB. Although not in my “players I’d like to keep” post I also think Telfer, McHugh and Oliver may be able to play this style. I think an exception will be made for Tidser to stroll it in midfield, and possibly Miller to play the holding role. The new assistant also spoke about players needing to be fit and available to play, which will likely rule out the likes of Johnstone and Kilday.

Think everyone would like the 3-5-3 formation, until we get fined for fielding too many players.

We aren't playing a goalie so it's fine

Whooshed much?

So would you be if you made the first typo in the history of this forum.

[macca937 39]

See Tids has tweeted that he is away

Hope it’s a fake account and it’s bollocks

[Glasgowguy.90 7]

What did he say? Pics?

[port-ton 99]

His twitter account has zero tweets as far as I can see.

[macca937 39]

Can’t seem to upload it.its over on pie and bovril Falkirk thread

[steveoath 59]

Makes me suspicious that the p&b post is a pic though, not a link to the actual tweet (which doesn't exist).

[Malt 260]

He is meeting Hoppy today so I would

Be surprised if he tweeted that yesterday.

[macca937 39]

Hopefully find out today fingers crossed

That's your first red flag.

It's a fake tweet

Elliott Parish, Genseric Kusunga, Martin Woods, Faissal El Bakhtaoui and James Vincent all released by Dundee.

 

Fancy any of them?

There’s yer Derek Gaston away. Surprised, but wish the guy all the best, been a top servant.

[port-ton 99]

Not the perfect goalkeeper but always liked him and he pulled off some of the best saves I've ever seen at this level.

 

I'd be happy to keep him but I'm also excited at what will hopefully be an almost clean slate next season.

[Scott 400]

Sad to see him go but probably the right call. Been fantastic for us over the years.

Correct decision.

 

Good servant, wish him well, but time for a change (and hopefully upgrade).
