The Summer 2018 Transfer Window Rumours and Deals

[Frankie 8,562]

There are no restrictions on international standard temporary transfers (loans): i.e. we can have as many as we want from outwith Scottish football.

Yes but obviously they'll need a work permit.

ITK posters should have a number before and after name.

 

eg. 06ITK45

 

The first number identifies their username (on the valid ITK list) and the second represents their success rate in percentage form.

 

 

Over the years there have been only half a handful who have been reliable and whom I (sic!) would term ITK. Whether a deal mentioned by a ITK chap actually goes through is another matter though, since they only have the info they got and obviously, not from all parties involved.

ITK stuff should be treated like any information - it might be accurate, it might not and things change quickly, especially with regard to transfers.

 

There are a few people online who have a better record than others.  Some have close relationships to journalists, some to players and some to the regime itself.  These can affect the quality of the info and the intention of the leak as well.  One should take that into account when absorbing information.

 

In general take any inside info with a pinch of salt and you won't be disappointed.  For the most part it's usually offered in good faith and, at the very least, it keeps us talking.

Not only that but things can change in a second like the McInnes decision.

Anyone know anything about Bryan?

 

Seems a strange one because he was thought to be an option for 3rd choice centre back but appears to be much more of a centre mid than a centre back. For me our 3rd choice centre back should be a proper centre back and not someone who’s primarily a midfielder.

Wouldn't be surprised if we'd go 3 at the back every now and then, which would probably involve Katic, Goldson and Flanagan. The ManCity chap would be back up much like McCrorie for the CHs ... and if he can play like the latter in DM, all the better. As of now, we only have 2 out and out CHs in the squad.

He was a midfielder but moved back to centre-back for most of last season and excelled in that position. He won the YPOTY. I think he will be brought in as a centre-back given that is the position that Gerrard has been looking to fill.

Wonder whether we'll take a closer look at these Croats in months to come. They look quite competent footballers ... which is no surprise.
