Masterful trolling job if it is one, but I guess the issue is that it's believable. I'm pretty sure Lavinier to FGR isn't definitely off yet though, just negotiations ongoing.

This the club’s 3rd season under Clem, surely there must be somebody who has picked up the basics of getting a transfer sorted.

Could it be because he’s still injured ? |

I suspect he was not "injured" in the usual sense. Didn't Flynn say something like "how do I respond to that one" when asked about the injury.

What I've heard has been contractual rather than medical but that doesn't mean there aren't additional medical issues I suppose. |

Let's be absolutely fair, Sandro Di Michele got transfers in and out sorted quickly and in volume. They were just the wrong players at the wrong times, which is no small issue. Ben Chorley had a better record on both. Neither lasted more than 12 months at the club. This season we have a first team manager and a former academy director doing recruitment. |

I still think needing to use Lavinier as a makeweight is an issue - creates yet another gap that needs filling in our squad.

What gap? We have a right back in Hutton and are signing another one who can play left back too. |

We haven't yet signed a LWB as far as I can read. Lavinier is a good prospect for supporting either of those roles, a good bench player or even challenging one of them as the season progresses. He now won't be here, so we have no back-up of quality. We will not get through a season by relying on just 11 players. |

Terrific trolling, just hope it doesn't actually end up near the truth. Wouldn't that be hilarious - not. Goes to show how fragile, pessimistic and beaten up we all feel.
Please STFC deliver a successful season, otherwise I fear for the mental health of our fanbase.

Look, my hope, and belief for a top 7 challenge, is we are short of four or so first team quality players right this second and we don't have the required back-up quality on deck either. To keep signing but then letting go at the same time is not creating the squad required to be top 7. Not yet. If you read my posts, broadly I am not one who is expressing huge panic, just immediate concern and assessing what we know to be true. Things can, and hopefully will, change.

Yep and it all comes from wanting the best for the club. Agree 100% with this. |

Fair enough. My view is the current first XI is capable of top 7. The lack of depth causes concern for me over the course of the season but this will be fixed by the end of August. No major panic alarms for me |
