Guest JamboRobbo Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I'd say it's ok to sign 15 players if they are good enough and make you a better team/squad and you go on to be successful in europe and the league and cups. It's also say it's not so clever to sign 11 players if they are mostly diddies and contribute to poor performances and results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be overjoyed if we had done the same! Great foresight if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing 11 in the summer (when you are building a team) and signing 11 in the January window (when you already have a strong nucleus of a winning side and need to strengthen/cover positions) is completely different.

sandy hearts Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Still i think hearts were unjustly slated for having such a big squad. 63 players? considering the fact that they were mostly youth i.e gary glen no.60 i would like to know how many rangers have if the weegia was to include their youth teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our official site show we have 35 in the first team squad and 30 reserve/U19's that equal 65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think that there were threads on at the beginning of the season having a pop at the Glasgow two for their signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also say it's not so clever to sign 11 players if they are mostly diddies and contribute to poor performances and results. Also, their 15 were signed by a manager who knows what he's doing. Nobody criticised us when Burley added tonnes of players in the summer of 2005. It was only when Brent and Gareth decided to bulk buy the press began taking the p155 - and rightly so.
