Seen enough of them when we played them and they stood out better than any of our defence in that position
Exactly.
Against Hibs.
The same Hibs you have castigated all fucking season.
Particularly the defence.
They must look like world beaters against us.
How did they fare against other teams?

These players I mention are an upgrade to what we have in my opinion.
 
Kilmarnock have begun consolidating their success with the signing of striker Bruce Anderson on a 2 year deal.

Strains a right back, he's not better than Cadden.

On the highlights I seen, much better than our defence, which wouldn’t be difficult.

Boateng is a Palace U21/development player. The jury is still out on him re a further Palace contract, hence the loan. Not seen/heard much about his Dundee performances/number of games etc.

He played over 2300 minutes in 32 league games for Dundee this season which is good for a 21 year old.
Will probably improve again next season as a 22 year old.

Thanks for the update Jack.
Palace had a lot of players out on loan last season and many won't get extended contracts. As Palace had such a good final couple of months in the Premier League I reckon the bar has been raised as to who will get kept on. Obviously, how they got on with their loan clubs, and who has impressed amongst the youngsters playing in the youth teams, will have a huge bearing on who gets kept on. Squad numbers have to be trimmed each year and some players had their second loan spell last season so decision time is probably nearer for them. Most EPL clubs have a fair number out on loan and the turnover, over the whole league, during the close season is staggering. Managers will always prefer oven ready players so youngsters face a real struggle.

All of the above is well known practice and relates to all clubs throughout all divisions to a degree. Boateng was part of a group that were expected to kick on so interesting to see how it turns out for all of them.

That was the case for Boateng having been played for Queens Park in the Championship the previous season.
Looked like he improved significantly this season after moving up a league but as you say the turnover for EPL clubs is staggering.
He signed a contract extension last summer but I don't know how long it was for and it's possible that it was just for a year with the club probably having an option for another year which they may or may not exercise. As ever we will see soon enough.

Dundee Utd news

Ross Graham, the Dundee Utd centre half Hibs apparently had a look at, has signed a new 2 year deal.

They have signed:
Left back Will Ferry to replace Scott McMann who they surprisingly released. Ferry contract expired at Cheltenham. Move obviously preplanned.
Goalkeeper Dave Richards on a two year deal from Crewe. He was on loan at St J last season.
United are also keen on North Macedonian winger Kristijan Trapanovski. Trapanovski is currently with FC Shkupi. United are waiting to see if a deal can be agreed and there are also work permit obstacles.
 
Hearts possible news

Hearts sporting director Joe Savage will step down from his role after three-and-a-half years at Tynecastle.

The 39-year-old joined the club in December 2020 but the Daily Record understands that he has now informed Jambos bosses that he wants to move on.
 
St Mirren are close to signing Oisin Smyth from Oxford Utd.

The ex-Northern ireland U21 international helped Oxford win promotion to the Championsip.
 
Motherwell forward Jonathan Obika has confirmed his retirement from playing, with the 33-year-old now joining manager Stuart Kettlewell's backroom team at Fir Park.

News coming in thick and fast on the day contracts end in Scotland.
Still waiting on the Hibs official announcement.
 
Jason Kerr being trawled all over the shop in search of big wages.

Wigan are done.
Wrexham and Peterborough are our new competition.
 
Liam Polworth has been persuaded to stay at Kilmarnock after a last-ditch effort by Derek McInnes
2 year deal signed to keep him at the club.
