THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Still a few weeks away but the first rumours are in. LOI clubs interested in Devoy and Burns on loan.

Burns needs a loan for sure, but I’d be disappointed to see Devoy leave, even on loan. I think he’s easily capable in this league and a decent squad player.

And you haven’t even mentioned our star at Swindon

Their season doesn't start until mid February so that's interesting to see. Wonder if it will be a 4 month thing or a calendar year loan.

Probably a good article, but due to a flurry of constant pop ups and advertising shite, as usual on that website you can hardly read anything

See MW have been quoted as saying big fan of Kemp, and there are players who want to leave, and some who don't. Would imagine will be plenty of outs and a few ins next month.

Read into this from Devoy’s brother what you will considering the loose mention in the article, but maybe he isn’t off…

Sounds like there will be quite a bit of movement for us in Jan. Williamson said as much in his presser.

He continued: "We'll have a plan of how we see it and what we want, but we also have lads here who are frustrated by their lack of game time, they want to go and play minutes, or move on for many different reasons - be they family, geography and just desperation to play.

Imagine Burns will be loaned out, if Kemp was to be recalled and kept then perhaps Devoy will also be loaned out?

Burns will be loaned and possibly sold. Agree that if Kemp returns (he should, tbh) Devoy won't get much game time - just not sure the LOI would be the best place for him to kick on.

Reckon we may cash in on Mo in January. We do have a large squad...

Think we'll cash in on Kemp to be honest. Highly doubt he'd renew his contract here, even if he does do well on his return (which is no guarantee). Unless we have a 1 year option, which it doesn't sound like we do, then I can see the club selling.

I know he'll be on a free in 6 months, but its January and lots of clubs will be in panic buying mode and Kemp will have raised eyebrows accross League 1 and maybe even the Championship.

Here's my take on it:

MacGillivray - keep
Harness - keep
Sandford - keep / loan out
Kelly - sell / release

Lewington - keep and start commissioning the statue for gate Harvie - keep and extend contract if possible
Norman -' keep
Tomlinson - keep
Scholtz - loan out
Ilunga - keep / loan out
O’Hora - sell
Tucker - keep
Smith - keep
Waller - loan out
Stewart - sell / release

Williams - keep
Robson - keep
Devoy - keep
Gilbey - keep
Tripp - keep / loan out
Grant - sell
Anker - loan out
Payne - keep
Burns - release
Kemp - recall, then sell

Hunter - keep or sell
Eisa - sell
Dennis - keep
Leko - keep
Dean - keep
Harrison - keep

That leaves us needing another attacker but not much else?
