2007/2008 season thread -

Ach well, after today's final that'll be the end to the season 06/07.
So might as well start talking about next season.... Who are your team playing in pre-season friendlies? Any summer transfers/rumours for your club? We're going to Tuscany again, but doing the usual friendlies against Inverurie Locos/Keith etc etc. Don Cowie is joining from our 'feeder club', he'll take a bit of time to get adjusted to SPL football, like Rankin, but will do well in the long run. Dargo. Who knows? There's a few folk who are 'in the know' who say that Dargo is happy with our offer of a new contract, but his girlfriend hasn't settled in Inverness, hence his reluctance to put pen to paper. Few rumours on the go about various signing targets. Liam Buchanan from Cowdenbeath, James McPake from Livi, couple of loan signings from Man Utd and Celtic. Maybe our new scouts Georghe Hagi and Gica Popescu can get us a wee gem  By the way, the fixture list for the new season comes out on June 14th, with the league starting again on Aug 4th.

So many transfer rumours (as you'd expect) - as long as we punt a load of the shitty Eastern Europeans I'll be a lot happier, Jankauskas and Klimek already gone, hopefully Barasa, Ivaskevicius, Kanchelskis etc to follow. Hleb's brother is an almost certain incoming. Rumour doing the rounds of Hart from Aberdeen, but don't see it happening myself. Been linked with Robson (thumbs up), Naysmith (thumbs up - but no chance), Rae (thumbs down), Steven Hughes from Leicester (thumbs wavering in the middle). As long as it's a significant improvement on this season, I'll be happy. |

17/7/07 - Stenhousemuir (A) 7.30 ko 19/7/07 - Falkirk (H) 7.30pm ko 21/7/07 - Ayr United (H) 3.00pm ko 24/7/07 - Leicester (H) 7.30pm ko 26/7/07 - Alloa (A) 7.30pm ko 28/7/07 - Queens Park (A) 3.00pm ko At least we'll get a visit to Hampden, ho ho. Prospects? Not overly impressed with the appointment of McCall, would have been slighty less disappointing if Chisholm had come back with him. He's bound to be better than DC mind you, so mid-table mediocrity with improved home attendances and a slighty better style football with would be a par score for me. Another cup run would be quite nice too. But they always are, aren't they? |

Not sure what's happening pre-season at The Theatre of Pies, but I would expect Naismith to go - likely for peanuts - and some ex-Hearts donkeys to sign for us.
Peter Leven is going (cheerio, cheerio, cheerio) - talented, but fat and slow. I expect Willie Gibson to make an impact next season - good old-fashioned winger. Would quite like to see Craig Dargo return. I thought he was excellent for us, but spent 75% on his time at Killie on the physios bench. |

Cant wait to get the fixtures out next week. Next season will be the first season in 6 long years since ive had a season ticket. (Watse of money when you work offshore)! God bless this 2 on 3 off rota!!!!
 With regards to transfers etc. Lee Mair and Jackie Macnamara in, two good quality signings if you ask me. Also looking at a couple of dutch players. Hopefully a couple of Hans Guilhaus's (if thats the correct spelling)! and not a couple of Peter Van Der Arks!!! People leaving is open to speculation i think, Russel Anderson will he wont he etc. I really dont want any one of our team to leave!! Anyone know when the European fixtures come out? Bring on next season 10 weeks and counting!! Oh and has anyone got any ideas how i can fill my Saturdays for the next 10 weeks. God i hate the Fucking close season!!  |

if the pars keep the majority of the squad together they will straight back up.
since you lot have appointed Stephen Kenny ive became a bit partial to you's. He comes across as a brilliant and genuine guy in a league dominated by moany egotistical pricks. His record at Derry and the improvement witnessed at east end park show that hes also got something very special as a manager. i love the way he has taken such a keen interest in the history of the club; he seems to be totally honoured to be managing them and that attitude is seriously refreshening. Mon i'Pars. Ahem. yes, now that those scummy Fife fuckers lost the final (  ) we only need to win 1 tie to get into the group stages. Making that + 3rd again + a cup run (making it to the quarters of both, semis of 1) would make it a season to remember and something i think is within reasonable expectations AS LONG as we keep the spine of the team together (Anderson, Hart, Severin, Nicholson, Lovell, Mackie, Miller) adding McNamara is a great move if we can keep those other players at the club and Mair is decent back-up too as well as the Jefferey player sounding exciting. Selling Anderson for anything less than £2m is just going to knock the stuffing out of us big-time though. It really is hard to over-estimate just how important he is to the club right now imo. |

mildenhall and lowestoft for friendlies (ooh the glamour)
five new signings, two have re-signed, six released. still waiting for those from last year to re-sign especially top scorer robbie simpson whose also considoring a couple of bench warming contracts from championship sides. looking forward to next season (probably a bad mistake) jimmy quinn has proved a lot of doubters (myself included) with our end of season form but still has work to do to convince most cambridge fans he's the man for the job. at times we were pathetic (3 five nil defeats) other times majestic (seven nil v weymouth, four nil v northwich). new investment in the club and a better wage budget (hence signing five new players already) means the squad is beginning to take shape already and we should be a good bet to challenge for the play offs, who knows if things go our way maybe even better. but like alvin i want to see a significant improvement on last season. |
