DMAA

Raskin and Cantwell alone would make it an excellent window. The talk seems to be that Whittaker will be done too. Quite surprised there aren’t senior outgoings because that would leave us with a big squad.

Massive boost if true.

Argh, I missed that!

It’s been surprising, and he is one I hope can get a new lease of life as Beale puts his stamp on the team. The other thing I like about Kamara is his athleticism. At his best, he covers more ground than any other centre mid.

I think he has the skill set, and would show it more with more technical and positive players around him. He is also tied down for the long term so is part of our future unless we get a bid.

I think Cantwell’s style will suit us. Playing in a team who are always in possession and looking to break teams down. He has the kind of creativity that we badly lack too. I can see him playing as the furthest forward of the midfield 3 a lot. A midfield 3 of Raskin, Kamara and Cantwell would be miles ahead of where we are now in terms of creativity. Not to mention being enjoyable to watch, what a novel concept.

The original journalist has commented under it too,

It’s looking good, Nico #Raskin is close to Rangers. Already interested in previous transfer windows, our midfielder is very close to leaving Sclessin!

Yeh, the Raskin rumour especially is a bit of a game changer. If we get that over the line in this window then Wilson’s approval ratings will take a jump.

Not sure if you mean me but I wasn’t saying those things. And Cantwell is confirmed by Romano and other good sources, it’s a matter of time. Raskin still a rumour but from an apparently reliable journalist in Belgium.

Very good in defensive duels, but silky on the ball. Can carry the ball and very good at forward passing. Weaknesses are he is hopeless in the air and doesn’t score many.

Cantwell and Raskin would add a lot of much needed creativity. This could be a very good window.

Someone at the training centre apparently. Rumoured to be Cantwell.

If there’s a time of the year I want Kent to catch form it’s during the January transfer window. Don’t sign anything yet Ryan 😀

Yeh, I said before we signed him. Not sure what’s confusing.

Beale has ruled out Tom Davies. Said Whittaker is a player we know and like but no update to give.

Wright has always had that in his locker. Just watch his run against Celtic in the 3-3 draw at Pittodrie before we signed him, a great run. But he still isn’t good enough.

Every time

I’m not convinced on Whittaker. Looks a decent player with good potential but I’m just not sure he gets into our team. His goal scoring and passing and vision look very good, and that goes a long way. It depends on what money we are talking about. I would like us to sign a proper dribbler and goalscorer on the right side, but maybe that’s unrealistic or not a top priority.

I’ve seen this guy mentioned too, Krstovic. Looks the right profile. Difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff in the Slovakian league, but his stats are off the scale.

Cantwell would be an exciting signing tbh. He's the type of player I tend I have a soft spot, with a particularly high technical ability. There's always a catch and I don't watch their games, but it seems he's struggling with end product and impacting games. However that kind of flair player is the type who can thrive in the type of games we have and who we haven't had enough of in recent years, and imo it's one of the reasons Celtic have been well ahead of us in chance creation.

I think it’s clear Beale has had an impact. That was clear before today, but even more so now. It doesn’t change the fact that I feel totally gutted that we have let an big opportunity to beat them slip through our fingers though.

That was so frustrating. They weren’t creating anything and yet you knew they’d score. I don’t think we are good enough to win the league, and yet if we’d held on you could allow yourself just to hope a good transfer window could turn things around.

Like I said, matter of time before we score 😄
