Transfer Rumours, Players In/Out

Would happily take Myles on left wing, and Keaghan on right - hoping they both sign up soon!

And yet here you are managing 34 words (including numerical representations of words) & not a sweary in sight!

Keep it up Lexi, you'll maybe show us what you are really made of. You got a 2.1 at Uni, you are clearly not thick as mince, so your vocabulary should be stronger than taking the lazy option of using an expletive that any ignoramus could use. #wordsmith

I'm just a very angry young man.

I can support this statement.

Expecting it in the next couple of days, Football Nation Twitter on Sunday said "This coming week fans of @albionrovers @CowdenbeathFC @LiviFCOfficial should be paying attention to our timeline #kitnews", since then the Albion Rovers home and Cowdenbeath away kit have been posted so would think ours will be pretty soon...

Thanks, I hope it is a decent effort.

Once he got a run of games he became much more than an impact sub, he was excellent from the cup win onwards in our starting 11. Would be great news if he signed up.

Also his throw ins provide more of a goal threat than our free kicks and corners.

A club should do all they can to keep fan favourites unless they are dire or asking for ridiculous money. Hippolyte is good with the potential to be very, very good. Hence we should keep him.

Liviunofficial on instagram have shown a photo of Kieran Somerville apparently signing a two year deal with Mark Burchill.

Presumably signed for the first team?

Agreed....and agree with LF as well; once he started to get a run of games he began to show what he is capable of. I definitely want to see him, Keaghan & Kyle back.....unless we can get better than these guys & I doubt we can at the moment anyway.

more news around 2pm today...first day back at training so maybe see some more new faces around the stadium

News article about Sommerville last month - http://www.midlothianadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/goalscoring-sensation-signs-for-livingston-1-3784330

Would've expected him to be a development squad player but the boy seems to think he's in the first team and can't wait to play against Rangers.

I've been told Liam Buchanan is expected to sign for us.

Why do we assemble such a unbalanced squad if what you are saying about Liam Buchanon the we have LB white Mullen sheerin boulding burch ill if true about him signing as a player. Do we really need six strikers ?

Not forgetting Ibra (if he stays), that Sommerville boy plus Hippo & Glen who are essentially strikers we've been playing in midfield.

Buchanan would be a good signing but we'd need to look at how many strikers we need.

Thanks for reminding me of the others so even just includig Glen who is a definite we certainly have 6 strikers what kind of pressure will the starting strikers be under ? All forwards go through barren spells miss chances cant help there confidence with four strikers sat on the bench. Who is a natural winger to deliver a ball or take someone on i see noone. Yet again We are assembling a squad then saying your good but you willhave to play left wing (gary glen ) or keegs you are a standout in center mid but lets play Pittman an Kyle you go bact to your old wing position. Also who do we have at CH Sives and Cole !! If this is our first choice pairing we will concede for fun.

Hippo signs! Liam Buchanan from Alloa and Jackson Longridge from Stranraer too. Not seen anything from Longridge but Buchanan looked really good for Alloa last season.

Feed the Hippo!!!!

Would have hoped the Hippo had signed for two years actually; if he carries on like he'd finished last season they'll be money on the table for him soon. Actually surprised no-one came in for him particularly after a couple of performances in TV - Hamilton in particular.

Still not seen anything about the Jacobs bros; I did hear that Keaghan was still in South Africa and that Kyle was in Holland but no idea if that's still current (or even accurate)

Fantastic news about Hippo signing, also great getting Buchannan, always rated him, he'll def score a few goals for us, can see him and White making a good partnership. Looking like Mullen will play midfield along with Hippo and Glen.

The lad Longridge sounds a good signing too, things are looking not too bad in the signing department. Just need Keaghan and/or Kyle to add some bite to midfield, and a few more defenders and we're sorted.

Just been on the Alloa official site to check on Liam Buchanan and I see they have signed Burton O'Brian.
Our signings are looking good plenty of firepower but feel we need more defenders.

Yeah Squad wise we've versatile players that can cover injuries/suspensions but we're decidedly sparse in defence.

Would rather have Cole playing the O'Brien role in midfield than Gallagher's at CB, he's comfortable on the ball so could easily slot in there, so imo we could be doing with a couple of CB's and a RB. Prob need a keeper too unless one of the youth keepers is ready to step up as back up to DJ.

Would like to see Moffat getting a chance at RB sometime in the season to see if he can cut it.

Maybe we're going down the route of if you score 3 we'll score 4

The Kevin Keagan philosophy of football. Aye certainly looks that way, reminds me of the exciting games we had under Bollan when he just chucked on strikers 2nd half to get goals, or the 2 off 2 on in the 2nd half with Winters, Beany, Deuchar and erm who was the other one, McNulty?

Competition for places should push them on to do well for us. Sheeirn in an article talking about his lows and highs of his footballing life, decent read: http: http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/livingston/new-livi-ace-sheerin-hails-rangers-wallace-for-rise-1-3808492

Sounds like he's buzzing to get started playing for us, hope he bangs in the goals when he gets the chance.

Alloa fans on P&B suggesting Ben Gordon talking to Livi

Buchanan would normally be a good signing but I agree we seem extremely top heavy in the striking department again this year.

We'll have to see how it works out but I never feel we spend our money in a considered way to achieve balance.

Jack Beaumont signs for Cowdenbeath

Goalkeeper Matty Gould on trial at the moment...Ian McCaldon put a photo on his Instagram.

Also notice he's wearing top number 22 so imagine Ibra is away.
