    I'll gauge the boards ambition when the window closes. If they strengthen without selling major assets, or sell and reinvest I'll agree they're turning the right way. But, we've not invested heavily enough, or categorically said players aren't going, so for me the jury's still out.

    I will give them that they've started the window well. I hope they finish it as strongly

    What's the situation with Liam Morrison? Lenny said he's staying, tabloids said he's going and now a Google search turns up nothing after June.

    The only signing of note we have made so far is the french CB. We have been linked with many other quality players but haven't signed any of them. At one point it looked like we were bringing in 4 or 5 quality players so I can see where your optimism comes from. As it stands we need to get our * finger out or this is not going to be a impressive transfer window.

    With the Smith deal all but dead it leaves us with no credible rumours for RB. Yeah we'll coast through the next round without one if it came to the worst, but we need whoever comes in to get gametime with the squad and integrate properly. I won't start panicking now as i still think we've had a good window so far, but i really hope we've got it sorted before the next rounds deadline (speaking of which, when is that?)

    It is ok so far, but they are only solving a problem they created themselves. Taking five transfer windows to get a CB good enough to improve the team, a backup to Tierney and finally replacing Lustig was criminal. Had they acted when they could, they would not need to deal with all those issues at once. Mind you we still do not have an RB other than Ralston and they can still sell Tierney.

    Still think we need to bring in 6 or 7 players and two of them quality midfielders as the transfer window stands the zombies have inflated their squad up and we are a bit thin on certain areas .
    The games between the zombies will be won and lost in the midfield and think we need two quality midfielders as the two games at the bigotdome we struggled against their midfield .

    I'll reserve judgement until the CL qualifiers are at the business end and the start of the SPL season.

    The longer we wait for the fabled RB it might be too late to throw him into a qualifier.

    We also need another CB and Forward, not projects but top lads! Are we waiting to see who moves before spending again?

    It's been a good start to the window, that's all.

    We really need players in right now, don't want to be arsing around at the end of the window, don't want to hear that we tried and we are working hard behind the scenes, and how difficult it is to get the right players etc etc......


    We've been fed this BS for long enough, good start to the window but it's important that we keep things going and properly address the areas of the team that need strengthening.

    As Lenny said himself..................................the players need help !

    I hate to be negative, but i dont really think any of the signings so far have been really significant. Im going to hold out judgement on Julien, but i really still think we need to add quality in order to get through the qualifiers.

    I hope im proven wrong but i just think
    we still need to add a more to the squad.
    That being said, its going to be nice to have a bit of depth at centre back.

    The first season of a new manager always seem to be where they get most from the board.

    Personally I'm tired of it all, so I've perhaps got rathe skeptical about it all as I'd be interested to see if history yet again repeats.itself with our manager going into their 3rd season and the board start shutting up shop.

    Kind of slowed down a bit now.

    I'm hoping that's a good thing and something will come out of the blue but we really need to move.

    It's getting boring as * now but we're going to end up scrambling for a 5th choice right back unless we get our finger oot.

    He (whoever he ends up being) should have been signed weeks ago or Lustig should have been retained. Ralston wasn't trusted that much we shifted our first choice centre half to right back to cover the fact we don't have one.
