    Literally 10 hours to go and there is not 1 concrete story/link!

    I was happy with Klimala and Soro but when Jozo, Elhamed and Johnstone all got injured again I really did expect something!

    especially playing 3-5-2 - still time I suppose!

    This is yet another disastrous and underwhelming transfer window. Before it opened Lennon said he wanted players with experience, up and ready to go straight into the team. We have signed 2 21 year-olds that may become great players but having No make on the bench midweek and only bring him on for the last 10 gives the message Lennon doesn't think he is ready. Now Lennon is saying if nobody comes in he is happy with the squad. We are screaming for another CB and a wide player, Lawell is playing a very dangerous game with the fans if he doesn't give us what we need and results in losing the League

    Lawwell doesn’t give a *!

    lenny comments not for the first time baffling!

    10 days ago he wanted 2 players of experience like Elynoussi now he is happy!

    We have a strong enough midfield and forward line but at CB we are weak imo.

    not to mention we have Morgan and Sinclair off wage bill completely £35k a week replaces them with Soro and Klimala who will be on £8k a week each maximum!

    Not saying Klimala and Soro wont turn out to be good players, but i cant believe how much of a gamble we have taken with the league this year.

    We were two quality players away from a really decent team and really making a statement of intent. Lawell will have a lot to answer for if it doesnt pay off.

    Before the window opened I've said in some other thread that Lawell and the board will be looking at the situation like businessman - looking through targets. For sure one of the targets was "top of the league by new year" and even though Rangers have a game in hand, this was achieved. This meant for them, in terms of targets reached, that no real investment is required.

    I would totally disagree. By your own admittance we were only top because they had played one game less. If anything it indicates that the race for the league is a tight one until this point.

    Business people also speculate to accumulate. In not investing wisely it can have a direct impact on performance. You cannot rest on your laurels.

    As a business man, Lawells failure to invest has cost the club millions in failure to reach the champions league when the need for defenders and strikers was glaringly obvious during those respective qualification campaigns. Its also cost the club managers and its cost us years of progress with the Deila appointment.

    The idea is to strengthen the team with a couple of experienced players to give us that bit extra so far we have brought in a couple of what my dad would have called wet behind the ears players can they be the difference we need time will tell but they are still learning .will we get the a player with the strength and wisdom to command the midfield and put the pretenders to under the cosh and deliver us the title I am not sure the only thing I will say is lose the title heads should roll beginning with the man at the helm risking it all for wanting a better bonus depending on how much money is still safely tucked away in the bank.

    If no first team CB is signed then it’s to the car park with the pitch forks and torches.

    Trying to loan an 18 year old from Everton.

    Tragic.

    If we get one injury to a centre back we are instantly struggling in that position. To come out of this window and have not brought in cover there is terribly poor.

    id even take John Souttar at this rate.
