Do you know for a fact there isn’t a plan? That GM has done nothing & we haven’t been actively looking and scouting targets? It seems exceptionally unlikely to me. Nope I’m suggesting we do our homework & give us the best possible chance when we do sign players. Are you suggesting good quality players have been available & plentiful & we’ve just not done anything about it? There is no perfect formula to signing players, people just need to be a bit more patient & show some faith we’re working hard on the recruitment front. You don't half love to escalate these arguments Baz by putting words in other people's mouths. Give it a rest. The season has started, the squad is a shambles, and we are f**king sick of it.

All I was doing was sticking up for the club staff after a seeming claim they don’t have a plan. You’ll also find he was the one that put words in my mouth about waiting until the very end of the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our signing plan seems similar to Liam Fox's trade deals plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Saintss Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 To source players like Hladky, Popescu, Muzek, Dreyer and anyone else that likely contributed to our survival last season? Hang on. Munoz told us that Gus had “absolutely nothing to do” with the signing of those players! [emoji1] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More pressing point is, who’s judging players on the first outing of the league up? Killie couldn’t beat the worst St Mirren SP team i’ve ever seen last season ffs.

The idea seems to be that because a job is difficult then it is perfectly fine to do it badly. We are perfectly aware that putting together a competitive team on our budget is difficult. But..... .....that's his f**king job! Any job in football is difficult. If you are a striker, you have defenders and goalkeepers trying to stop you score. If you are a manager, you have another 11 managers in the league trying to outdo you. It is a competitive business, and at the moment we are a f**king shambles when it comes to being competitive. You simply can not argue that it is acceptable to once again be starting the season so unprepared. I know at least two posters on here who WILL argue just that!

Lord Pityme Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 The Pars did even more business tiday buying a Left Back! Imagine that actually buying a recognised left back? How do they manage it without Gus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few of our best players have come from our own youth set up. Budget has been our problem for years now. We are not yet able to compete with Motherwell's or the St Johnstone's can pay more than we can. I get it you might not. Frustrating yes.

linwood-bud Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Why would Thomas want to sign for us when we don’t have any wingers to create him chances? I’m sure he would have seen the terrible crossing from our “full backs” on Sunday and reconsidered whether this was a good move for him.
