    Donald, speaking after it was revealed that a deal had been struck with Louis-Dreyfus last month, said: "From the early meetings with Kyril, his family and advisers, I have been greatly impressed with their knowledge and understanding, learned over a long period as owners of major football clubs in Belgium and France.

    Stewart was at the ground yesterday watching the game so it looks like they fully expect him to sign

    He’ll have been feeling encouraged about his chances of playing after watching AOB play (I use the term ‘play’ loosely).

    Certainly looks that. Will be a decent window come the close. Couple of outs too.

    I was told as many outs as ins.

    Not convinced but hopeful.

    I assume that once the takeover is announced, we will still be able to pay off the rotten eggs at any time, so there could quite easily be just as many outs than ins mate.

    Grigg and Maguire out on loan and Graham's contract paid up would be my guess, could be just wishful thinking though <laugh>

    This must be a dream move for the Ross County lad and his Dad. Wiki him and you’ll see what I mean.
    Good Luck to him but I’m not sure what position we will play him in.

    I reckon they'll keep Graham as a backup option. Johnson has spoken of wanting 4 strikers

    I'd rather he gave Mitch Curry a game instead of an overweight uninterested slob

    I'm not too sure, Johnson said in his pre-match interview that he sees Gooch's position as a 9 and a 1/2 so it could be he sees his four strikers as Wyke, Ross, O'Brien and Gooch. I reckon getting Graham's salary off the books would be better than him being a bench warmer at best.

    Graham is the exact opposite of what Johnson is looking for.

    Obviously massive thanks to Stewart Donald for spending 6 figures plus on a signing :D

    Since fending off a hostile takeover, from Louis-Dreyfus, he's really started pushing the boat out.

    I just wish he wasn’t called Ross Stewart mind as I’m really trying to forget that season

    Maybe I’m just a sentimental old fool but reading that his Dad helped pay his fee when he signed for Albion Rovers makes me think he might be a proud and happy Dad this weekend.
