Why would he go to killie with McInnes, when he couldn't get near his team at Aberdeen Quote

I hope Goodwin turns this around but feel we missed a trick not getting McInnes in, time will tell. Quote

It is for sure But why would you sign for a manager who didn't rate you good enough rather than one that does. Anyway that boat has sailed for me he had his chances to join us and didn't. As for signing new players forget the lower leagues in England IMO where the players are overpriced and overrated, we've had our fingers burnt all to often, Lets concentrate on Ireland and the lower leagues in Scotland. The Raith Rovers team last year showed us the talent is there we just need the talent to spot it and give these lads a chance, it's better if you can sign a player on the way up rather than the way down Remember where we got Lex Richardson Peter Weir and Frank McAvennie 3 of the best players ever to play for this club Quote

When we signed these guys the Juniors was a stepping stone to the pro game but it no longer is. Even the lower leagues up here are not the rich picking grounds they once were. The Academy system has changed how young players are developed - so many get discarded in their late teens and many of them give up the game completely. Quote

The Academy system has changed how young players are developed - so many get discarded in their late teens and many of them give up the game completely. Indeed. There's a dearth of younger, quality players in the championship. Dundee signed McCowan from Ayr and he's doing O.K. Hibs signed Danny McKay from ICT. He looked a very decent player, but hasn't featured for Hibs since the end of August. IIRC he's got a lot of pace. If he's fit and available on loan, he might address our lack of pace issue. Raith's Regan Hendry was another one who stood out. We were reportedly interested in him, but he went down to England. I noticed that Kilmarnock and the Fakes seem to be competing to sign Zak Rudden from Thistle. I don't really remember him standing out against us earlier in the season. Quote
linwood buddie Posted January 5, 2022 Report Posted January 5, 2022 The usual all we see is teams around about us signing players , only good thing is none of them so far would give you the fear😁 Quote

guinness Posted January 7, 2022 Report Posted January 7, 2022 Will we do a McLean with McGrath ? Let him go right on the deadline and too late to replace Quote

I have no doubt that’s what’s happening unfortunately, just hope Dundee, County etc don’t improve much either. Mcinnes only in at killie a couple of days ago and I expect they will have signings in before us too. Quote
munoz Posted January 7, 2022 Report Posted January 7, 2022 As long as any new signings improve us, I'm prepared to wait longer than the first week of the window. Not panic stations yet. Quote
Hendo Posted January 7, 2022 Report Posted January 7, 2022 I'm hearing exciting news... Flareybob has just been appointed as our new Head of Recruitment. Quote
