Summer is gone so thought I'd start a new thread.......
A few things to mention....
Forster is being heavily linked with a move to a top European club but it will probably be next summer rather than January. However it seems we have his replacement already identified.
Warner Hahn is the Dutch U21 No1 GK and is currently playing in the Dutch second tier. It is claimed we are interested and he would be very interested in a move, however he has stated he won't move anywhere unless he is going to be No.1. So he will only sign if Forster is definitely leaving.......
James Forrest has been linked with a move to Cardiff for at least £7m. Apparently he is on Malky Mackay's wishlist and they have scouted him but we have told them he isn't for sale and not to bother bidding.
The other move to mention is on the coaching front. It seems as though George Cadete is looking to get back into coaching and has discussed the move with Neil Lennon to come in as a dedicated strikers coach.
I thought we already had Benni McCarthy at the club helping him through his coaching badges so this in some ways would seem a bit strange but on the other hand, Cadete is a cult hero at the club and could really help Balde what with them both being Portuguese and hence speaking the same language. Danny McGrain has currently been working intensively with Balde but it would perhaps be better to give Danny's time to more of the players rather than mainly to Balde. A dedicated striker's coach would also surely be great for our young players like Atajic and our other younger ones yet to make it to the first team.
