Transfer Rumours, Players In/Out

No offers made but with the way things are going we could probably see him leave this month.

Louis van Gaal is trying to see off competition from Everton, Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea for teen forward

And that's without Collins and Hughes help in singing his praises so they could get their percentage of the transfer fee. Better get their dosh quick before Van Gaal gets sacked and the deal falls through.

Someone is clearly touting him because he's not even played half a game for us yet. The good thing about those sides is they have decent youth set ups, so he could be developed in that environment. Still think it will be the last we hear of him though....unless they strike a deal & then bring him back on loan.

Knowing our luck he will fuck off to Hearts (who are also looking at him) and they will get a big pay cheque for him.

With Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton amongst the teams interested I'd be pretty surprised if he ended up at Hearts. But if it means us not getting much money and them getting a barrel load then it makes sense.

We've enquired about Scott Wright from Aberdeen (striker) to see about getting him on loan, and Hopkin is still looking for wingers.

Also saw a guy who I don't recognise when I walked past the stadium while the team were training. Could have been Durojaiye but really not sure, looked a bit like him though...

Durowho?

Read Hopkin saying he was wanting Ollie signed for the Falkirk game. Interesting to see how he gets on, intimidating midfielder who takes no prisoners, sounds like a big Marv type player.

No sign of any signings tho

Maybe keeping it hush hush and gonna surprise them/us tomorrow when the team sheet is read out.

We've rejected Nottingham Forest's bid for Mathew Knox. Board saying we don't want to sell, so presumably he'll only be gone if a very good offer is made.

Lot of nonsense about us not wanting to sell him, but good that we're not jumping at the first offer. And are playing the pretending that we aren't looking to sell him game to get a decent offer.

We rejected an offer from Berwick who want to take Sheerin on loan.

Heard we're looking at Carmichael for a loan too, always gave us problems on the wing. No idea if there's any truth to that though.

Im surprised Berwick have put an offer for him to be fair. He hasnt exactly been main choice but nearly always gets some playing time. Didnt think we were in a position to even consider loaning players out.

Probably a case of ask and hope, don't ask you don't get so worth a try. Maybe with us looking to bring in Scott Wright they expected us to want to send Sheerin out for some game time.

We are looking at bringing Charlie Telfer from Dundee Utd in on loan

I dont believe we need another Midfielder

He's already in the squad on the OS so assume its done.

We will have to start playing the classic Levein - 4-6-0 soon. Bring someone that can score goals

Happy with this one... means we have the option of Telfer or Pittman in that position. A right winger and a striker now plz!

IN before Hopkin begins playing Scotty P as a false 9.

From Callum Carson:

I believe QPR right-back Osman Kakay will be signing on loan for Livingston. Deal should be done in time for Dumbarton game.

Livi have just followed him on Twitter so imagine that's true. Still really need a right wing though.. unless he can play there as well.

Still possibility of a few more arriving but also some leaving I believe before the window closes

Would imagine Kakay can play on the wing, wouldn't be much point bringing in Halkett otherwise tbh.

Think we should be trying to get Quinn out on loan. And if anyone's getting released I'd think Sives, Cole, Duckrell and Georgiev will be on that list... First 2 have been out with injury AFAIK but think we've got enough cover in their positions, Duckrell probably doesn't exist, and Georgiev clearly isn't rated highly enough to get a game.

Is that a sweetener to try and get wee Knox off us?

His photo is on the squad page with "TBC" instead of a number

We do however appear to have aged him by 10 years - the QPR site have his stats as:

Osman KAKAY
Position: Defender
Date of Birth: 25/08/1997
Place of Birth: Westminster
