Were Celtic not interested in him last summer or am I talking Raphael Scheidt?

The first of many such jokes, I'm sure.

 

However joking apart, you are correct.

Kenny Miller story just won't go away unfortunately.

 

I'd be more concerned about the tactics we'll play to accommodate him rather than the player himself.

If Weir, Dailly & Webster all leave, then I guess there could be some truth in the Shittu rumour.

 

Also a couple of places seem to be saying WS will have "limited transfer funds" which would be most disappointing given the season we've just been through.

 

When does the transfer window open anyway?

He will be given 10mill is what is being banded about.

Out of that we need a RB, CB and a striker..

 

So I would go for Shittu, Passenen or Ramage and Voronen.

 

If we have spare funds, then Davis is a must, and I would say he should be first on the list. Also another striker. Possibly Gekas as he is seemingly less in price. We need to keep Weir in my eyes, he has proven a stalwart (if a little slow) and I feel he would be a great SPL player for the next campaign.

 

First things first, we need to decide what the fuck is going to be the formation. That is WS's biggest task.

I still think top priority is a creative midfielder, but it has been for about 5 years now, so maybe we'll just sign three more CBs instead.
