Post match interview stated that Hearts were in for McLeod and that we are considering the offer.
Confirmed he has been speaking to Jaidi's agent.
Wants 3 CB & a utility man asap - says we have one CB (Llera) & Utility man (Dailly) - obviously doesn't think Mambo is ready then.
Jaidi would be a good signing on a freebie.
Also mentioned Fortune - we haven't offered him what he wants, entitled to train with Sheff Utd, if we can't offer him what he wants shortly then good luck to him at Sheff Utd.
Lots of hand tied at the moment comments and finance hints.
He is talking like something is still going on.

On the O/S
Similarly, McLeod might have to take a big wage cut at Hearts - there is no money in Jockball at all.
At least no one can complain he's not trying to sort out the defensive problems, he's made it clear he wants to sign another 2, plus a (presumably defensive) utility player. Small is still on trial so we may well bring him in. Just leaves a striker which I think we need. If any of the main midfielders go they'll need replacing, especially Bailey as we need someone on the left unless he stays.
I reckon you should try and keep hold of McLeod though, League One is more his level. Tbh I wouldn't mind it if Saints made a move for him.
I read it that Dailly was the defensive minded utility man but agree we still need another two centre halves. Thought Small looked lively when he came on, very pacy.
Pardoo wasted money on McLeod before, can't see him making the same mistake again, however big a knob he is.
Mirror says move to Hearts is a loan deal so at least we'll save part/all his wages ALTHOUGH I'd keep him as I think he could do it in League 1.
Shame about McLeod as he's one of those players I really thought had something. Maybe a loan to Hearts will give him some confidence.
even I could score in the SPL
Whisper it but dare I say it a team appears to be taking shape (or at least a reasonable idea of one), well done PP!!
Thats how I read it unless Gray and Dicko are staying.
And he's three years younger than Dailly.
Doesn't seem to be much in it at the moment. He's a free agent yet has played or training with us so might not be more than we spoke to his agent.
I hope there is nothing in it. He might be younger than Dailly, but Dailly is a fitter and better player. There must be someone out there better than Jaidi. Did Sodje sign for Bristol City in the end? Bit worried by Parkinson's comment that we're basically willing to sign any available CB!?
No idea where we'll find better defenders than one released by Rangers and one released by Birmingham, who won promotion to the Premier League. We could do a lot worse.
Did he actually say that?
He didn't sign O'leary or the other guy we had on loan so just not the case.
And that is most likely the problem. Maybe come 31 Aug he and a few others will be willing to take a cut. Until then they will hold out for the best offer and rightly so.
I would prefer Sodje though.
hudson and butterscotch were half of the tightest defence in the division in 2007-8. getting them went well didn't it.
imo you have to look at what our defence is lacking.
is it pace, experience, height, leadership, concentration, communication?
i haven't seen llera or richardson so don't know the answers (probably would be none the wiser if i had), but i would hope that parkinbreaker would.
Just add ability and I think you've got it!!
Well look how Jeffers and Faye struggled in Scotland, though Bougherra did very well.
