Arsenal back in for Tierney with a reported 25 million bid 

Interesting when you consider he's not recovered from his injury yet. Talk of ongoing issues with him, although all paper talk so far.

£25m all in depending on many clauses etc. I believe he has the potential and his injury issues are only recent.  He'll get over them.

If napoli is an option I'd go Serie A over epl

Candeias apparently signing for Genclerbirligi in Turkey.  He's been pretty decent for us however given we have about 114 wingers it makes sense that one or more has to drop out.

Are Hastie and Middleton going to be first team players for the season ahead ?

Or is it more likely that one or both of them will be loaned out ?

Middleton will almost definitely be loaned out. Hastie I’m not too sure about.

Bit disappointed by this as he's better than Middleton, Hastie and Murphy. 

I know we need to trim the squad but I'd prefer we moved on the shite first. 

I think he might be a victim of the rules around home grown players.

Out of interest, which players do you consider "the shite" to be ?

Alnwick, Herrera, Dodoo, Holt, Grezda, Lafferty, Dorrans off the top of my head.

I’d also add Flanagan to that list now we have Polster but Gerrard seems to like him and you could argue Halliday should be on it but he’s proven to be quite versatile.

It’s also questionable how much game time Docherty and Jones will get.

Pretty much agree with Fairbairns assessment. 

Id also add in Murphy to his list.

Murphy? The guy is a class act.Not sure how you are arriving at the fact he is shit. The only issue is whether he will recover from this injury.

Murphy was a pretty good player and in the team every week for Rangers prior to his injury.

I quite like the boy, despite him signing for you lot.

At his age, after an injury like that, I'm expecting him to be nowhere near the same player again. 

I also don't think he was that good prior to the injury. At his best I'd say he's only good enough to be a squad player. He's too slow for the style we are supposed to be playing.

Playing every week does not make you good. It makes you a regular in an ordinary team. 

We are better than that level now and he just isn't quick enough to play in the style we are supposed to be adopting.

Pace was never a big part of his game. Although I thought he was deceptively fast with the ball at his feet.

At Motherwell he complemented a pacy winger on the other side (Chris Humphrey) well. You tended to find if Murphy was quiet, Humphrey would tear it up or if they doubled up on Humphrey, Murphy would take advantage of the extra space on the left.

At 30, he’ll still be a better player than Hastie will ever be.

He's 29, hardly ready for the knackers yard.
