Well said. It's noticeable how dry this forum is becoming, people demanding reason, not emotion when posting. Otherwise it's asking for multiple strands of evidence to back up a post which may be gut feeling, or my own personal favourite, people picking up others up on spelling, grammar and even the way they construct sentences, you shouldn't do this or that, who gives a duck about an Oxford Comma? Don't even get me started on those who start quoting the legal position on otherwise light hearted posts, listing the rights and wrongs of various employment and commercial law, and how it effects the club. It's probably done from a position of knowledge, and in certain threads it's appropriate and necessary, but most of the time it just comes across as smart arsery, and reduces the fun of the forum.

Rampage Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Basically keep the remaining Alamo players and loan a couple in. Not rocket science really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In normal times I think WR might have offloaded him. Problem is most other clubs haven’t got that sort of cash right now either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should really say who would you move on but more importantly how much would we get for that player then this would make the second part of the answer more realistic. So there's no point in saying I'd move on Waghorn for example knowing that he's on a free at the end of the season then say I'd bring in Bradley Dack to replace as that would require investment again. So both answers require some form of justification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dethorn Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I think if we can hang on to what we have got it would be a blessing Bird is potentially good and adequate cover for Shinnie and Bielik Sibley potential and covering all three positions behind the front man Gordon - bags of potential to blood him this year Knight and Buchanan both I think worth more to us than we can get for them in the current climate I really hope one or more of JHI Stratton Duncan and the other guy can come good I would even hold on to the likes of Waghorn, Lawrence, Forsyth, Wisdom for what they offer in cover and the first XI we need some depth. As much as I like the guy, I think Whittaker maybe better off at a lower level so would be the one I would not be cursing if he went. That said silly money for any of the above would need to be considered - just can't see it in this current economy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jram Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I think we’re short, certainly when you look at the contracts up in the summer However, most of it can be sorted in summer, no rush now as we've hopefully got enough to avoid the drop, particularly if Lawrence returns to anywhere near his best The only position is probably a striker akin to Kazim as he can’t play every game surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucktwo Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 How much would we expect from the sale of Lawrence or Waghorn ... perhaps they can make up some swapsies ??

I am as dry as a bone and way too earnest most of the time but you just have to let go sometimes and this forum is brilliant for it. When I have a rant I love it and hate it at the same time ..

However, we might get a loan fee and free up a decent portion of wages on either of them to let us get someone in to see us through the season. Personally I wouldn't with either of them, and just be preying for better form from them both - they didn't become awful players since the summer but they have been playing very badly. Lawrence and Waghorn are 2 tangible championship assets. Neither have contributed anything to this mini renaissance so I'd use them just to switch things up a bit. You'd imagine somewhere around the play offs there would be sides who would like a bit of a shot in the arm but can't necessarily go out and spend. Just do a 5 month loan swap with a player of theirs who isn't quite getting going there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
