on&up2017 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 As it says! A good player, a goalscoring midfielder & proven at SPFL level. C'mon Levein, lets get some of that at least and better... I like Chris Erskine at Patrick Thistle, another proven player at this level. There are so many more that we could get in on what appears to be another shoestring budget. I hope for better but this should be the lowest we aim for, surely!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some have said that it is good to get squad players in, but a 35 year old striker who 'can't run', a 'gamble' from Cambridge and a guy from ICT who can't get a game - If we are to be pushing for 2nd and Europe next season we surely have to be looking for better, even at squad level.

Thing is we cant all lose our shit in April. Its who we sign not when. The three we’ve made are bland but doesnt mean they wont play a part. By end July we may have made a couple of Berra/Lafferty profile signings too. I dont want us to make signings to sell season tickets, i want a balanced squad with a bit of depth which we havent had for a long time.

tian447 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Ali Crawford is a snivelling, mutant looking little diving diva, who thinks that anyone who comes within a 5ft radius of him is committing a foul, whilst at the same time being a nasty piece of shit when it comes to tackling, deliberately going in to injure opponents. He is an exceptionally limited footballer. He'll be 27 this summer, and has never played for anyone other than Hamilton ****ing Accies, and hasn't even had a pube in the door of the Scotland set up, never mind a foot. They are welcome to him.
