Bud the Baker Posted July 16, 2019 Report Posted July 16, 2019 Are we trying to do this on the cheap, or trying to clawback money from last January? 2 out of the last 3 January windows we've not had too much trouble recruiting players which with having to pay off players probably works out more expensive.

"Between 1588 and 1795, the area currently representing the Netherlands was the Republic of Seven United Netherlands. The republic was conquered by French troops in 1795 and became the Batavian Republic. Napoleon appointed his brother Louis as king in 1806, turning the country into a kingdom. The Netherlands remained a kingdom after Napoleon’s defeat. At that time, the area called “Holland” made the biggest contribution to the entire nation’s economy and wealth. As such it became the commonly used name to indicate the entire country. " Quote

Seriously 13 goals in the 2nd division during a year they nearly got promoted. Shankland got double that, missed a big chunk of the season and was not even in a top 3 team - I am not saying we could have got him or that we would have really wanted him either - it is merely to put things into some sort of perspective. I am not hearing much about the other Dutch lad either. There are 3 others we are seriously working on this week and obviously more irons in the fire... Keep the faith, it has to get better....

JG says the list is as long as his arm - so it might contain far more than 50. (It depends on the size of the writing and the direction it is written in ) What kind of success rate do you think St. Mirren have on players wanted compared with those we manage to sign? If it was so easy, we would be a lot better at it... Quote

Gus can draw up a list of targets. What he cant do is twist a players arm to sign. If players can get better money else where that's where they will go. Quote
foxbar_bud Posted July 16, 2019 Report Posted July 16, 2019 If i've said it once i'll say it a million times, what is the point in Gus McPherson's role? I think this is one for the AGM. We were lead to believe he was coming in to prevent what happened when JR left, we appointed Stubbs and he was starting to get players in cold. But here we are at the first time he’s really required to see that through and we look like we are stumbling about. I genuinely cannot believe how light on the ground we are with 2 and a bit weeks to go til the season starts and about the same since pre season started, is there another team in the league in the same state? Motherwell, Livingston and Accies have made plenty of signings. St Johnstone, Ross County and Killie haven’t but they didn’t need to arguably due to not losing too many players. All the teams that will be around us and we are miles away from the squad being sortedReal questions need to be asked of what Gus is doing Quote
