    Closest the league has been in years. We had the chance to make the signings here to win the league at a canter Wanyama and Benkovic presented themselves to us and yet we managed to sign 2 players who will be lucky to get in the team. Then were scrambling about for a winger after letting 2 go.


    Lennon is no more than a yes man a puppet I thought he had a bit more about him after the circumstances of him leaving the first time.

    Sleeping at the wheel yet again and gambling 10 in a row. * shambles

    This policy of signing projects has to * stop. 9 times out 10 they spend out on loan and never play.

    We tried.

    Difficult window to do business in.

    We won’t just buy players for the sake of it.

    The injuries with our wingers and centre backs is a worry, hopefully a few of the youngsters step up to the plate like Frimpong did.

    I can almost forgive them for not getting a winger in, if we were planning 3 at the back this season and Taylor's performance the other day anything to go by, but not getting a proper CB in is complete and utter negligence, absolutely atrocious from the management and board.

    Think that’s the thing that annoys me most.

    2 quality players who’ve been here and done it were very attainable and we’ve ended up with neither.

    Both do come with injury risks but when fit they’re high quality additions.

    Even signing projects whats the point ? As soon as they show any worth there rushed out the door. Eddy will be next in the summer no doubt sold for mega money then we wont spend a penny.

    This I find a bigger issue than not signing anyone. We want these guys to get experience now could be the time for guys like O'Connor and Connell. Maybe we cod see some game time for Dembele.

    Normally teams make sure players come in before letting players go.

    Hard window,
    Clubs don't want to sell their players.
    We tried to get some in, but they didn't want to come to scotland.
    We have a wage structure.
    I'm happy with what we have.
    We have a strong squad.
    The Dubai break was good for us, we are fresh and scoring goals.
    Griffith is like a new signing.
    Soro and klimala are impressing in training, but will take time to her to speed, but they offer a lot of competition for the guys.

    Pretty much all the above will be said over this weekend now.
    All bullshit.

    If he comes out and says he is happy I don't mind that. Saying it in public may come across to players that he thinks they aren't good enough. Keep that stuff for behind closed doors.

    We've signed another two who "need time to adjust " have got " a bit to go yet " ....I remember the days of juice when we used to sign fully grown men who would play football games straight away .

    Pish. Coming out and saying he's happy with it is just to appease the board. If he's unhappy with the business then he should have the pair of baws required to say it in public and put pressure on the board.

    We know he wanted more players in. So him now saying otherwise isn't fooling anyone.
