Sounds promising.

“Odin is a player who will bring pace, creativity and a very good delivery to the wide areas He’s predominantly left-footed but can play on either wing quite comfortably. He has a great delivery and likes to put defenders on the back foot.

Hope he's not the last in..

Never heard of him before today

Stephane Omeonga signs from Pescara in Italy.Another midfielder ‍�.I'm baffled. Surely a CB or Striker had to be our priority. Don't know much about him,but welcome to the frying pan Stephane..

Another one I’d not heard of before today… & I guess if you think you are bald so must be Guardiola you can never have enough midfielders.

I am a Norwich fan and there is a rumour down here that Isak Thorvaldsson is having a trial /look at by your boss, to see whether he is joining you on loan. He is an Icelandic U19 international, plays in central midfield, he is 20 years old and he is tall.

I hope he impresses and gets some game time with your team.

Aye saw that, looking at possible signings for the Jan transfer window. Didn't get on well with Goodwin on his loan at St Mirren,

Thorvaldsson has played in the Scottish Premiership previously with St Mirren, but saw a brief loan spell terminated after Jim Goodwin revealed he didn't think the midfielder displayed the commitment he wanted from a member of his squad.

Right.So Jack's away back to Arbroath,no surprise there.Paneytous way back down south.Williamson back to Sevco.And Harrison Clark off to Kelty Hearts.No major shocks for me.Wonder if Davies got his eye on a couple to bring in.Would suspect another goalkeeper and striker would be uppermost in his thoughts and possibly a defender.Will be interesting watching developments during the window.Will hope that any incomings will be up to our standard..

Good move for Hamilton, heading to a team high in confidence and involved in a title battle with ICT for promotion. Ironically i think he could've linked up well with Nouble for us, they'll have 3 games together for Arbroath before Nouble comes back to us, so will be interesting to see how they play together. Reckon Nouble is just what Hamilton needs to get the ball up the pitch for Hammy to get chances in the box.

Panayiotou just didn't get a chance with us, strange one because any time i saw him he looked like a decent player that would cause defenders problems, obv not seeing him in training to understand why he wasn't getting games though.

Josh Mullin scored twice in Accies win yesterday, but doubt we'll see him coming back to us, could do with a right sided winger too.

Hamilton switching with Nouble is no surprise, I like Hammy but not sure he has “it” for the top flight.
Hopefully we’ll find out that Nouble does have “it” & hopefully Arbroath will help Hammy find “it”.

Williamson leaving is not an issue as far as I’m concerned, I hadn’t seen anything he had to offer that was any better than anyone else at the club. He won’t make it in Govan unless he shows major improvement.

Panayiotou - I agree, didn’t really get a chance & the writing was on the wall for him the day he made his debut as a sub only to be subbed back off despite having added energy to a lack lustre performance.

We could certainly do with someone with the ability to deliver crosses. Our final third crossing has been lacking quality for most of the season.

Hammy had it with Arbroath last season, just doesn't have it with us because of how we want him to play. Martindale wants Hammy to do things he hasn't the pace to do, he's a goal scoring poacher, get the ball to him in and around the box and he'll stick it in the net. I think Nouble would have helped him to do that but not with us, this season anyway. He came on and scored against ICT yesterday but got ruled offside, Dick Campbell didn't think he was.

I see Hammy like Boyd when he was with Killie, he just isn't going to run around a lot, unfortunately for him i can't see Martindale letting him play in a style that suits him.

You may have a good point on the style of play …I’m not convinced that he’s top tier calibre though.

Don't think he is yet either tbh, but given enough game time he could develop into one, he's done so at every other level he's played at. He's already scored for us in the Premiership though, and would do a decent enough job given a chance, if played properly.

It'll do him good to go out on loan to Arbroath again anyway, and be involved in a title chase, him, Joel and Harrison could all get winners medals at the end of the season, in fact Harrison could end up with two, if both his loan clubs win their league's, Kelty and Abroath.

Morgan Boyes, 20 year old left sided centre back has joined from Liverpool on an 18 month contract with an option to stay longer. Seems to have been well thought of at Liverpool, with the number of good wishes he has from them on Twitter. DM seems to think he is SPFL first team ready.

Hopefully a Craig Halkett type scenario, us snapping up a young CB that was released from a big club and developed into a cracking player at Livi.

Hopefully it is exactly that, possibly freeing up Ayo to get into midfield

If he's half as good as Halkett we're onto a winner.Bit of dejavou with both having been captains at their respective previous young teams..

He hasn't had a lot of first team experience, but plenty of youth games, playing at a couple of levels for Wales youth too. DM reckons he's good enough to step straight into our starting XI, so looking forward to seeing him play.

Would be good to see Ayo playing in midfield, but he's been tagged as one of the best CB in the league by DM, so can't see him being moved there, wondering if the arrival of a left sided CB will see us go 3 at the back, in a 3-5-2, switching to 5-3-2 when defending, with Devlin and Penrice as WB's.

.. .                    Stryjek


..    Fitzwater    Obileye       Boyes


Devlin   Holt    Pittman      Omeonga    Penrice


....         Anderson    Nouble

Yeah, don’t really think DM is right about that, perhaps trying to justify playing him there

They played together today away to Ayr… lost 1-0

Funniest result of the day though was Morton 5 Yogi’s Dunfermline 0 - Even Gavin Reilly scored
Coll Donaldson scored an og - Cameron Blues also scored, never actually played for us but was loaned to Brechin

TBF.Arbroath started with Jack and Joe up front together.That won't happen at Livi..Joe will know
what his position will be on his return to us.Up to Davie to know whats best for us.Big Joe and Anderson Dream team.

Got to see the funny side of Hughes managing Dungfermline to a 5-0 defeat, when he had us playing the exact same way and they hammered us 4-0. Amazing how many clubs keep falling for his bullshit patter and sign him up.
