To have a round of fixtures so close to the end of the window is far from ideal. ? He has a whole month to get players in. Big Sam wants to stay off the pints of lambrusco.

He brought others into play. He wasn’t brilliant, but it helped to have him securing possession, rather than Isma flicking the ball on to no one. Now, if Lafferty is away as well, we are hoping for Levein to get lucky in the last few days of the window. Probably end up with feckin Dauda’s wee brother to last us the rest of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Craig Levein has probably been busier than the PM in the last month.

Haken Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 You can't read too much into what anyone says publicly - Levein included - at this stage of the window. Deals that still have to be done at this point are going down to the wire, and cards will be being held very closely to chests. All part of the game. Shame our ITKers have been pissed off enough by the criticism they got to stop contributing, but hey ho, we'll know where we are in the next couple of days.

Whitecapjambo Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 No panic really. If we get offered good money for Lafferty we have to take it.

I would tend to agree but we need some fire power and some personalities in the team, we can easy sign a striker but we went years without having a good striker so find it hard to say just take the money and hope for the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Remember when him and Jamie Murphy were going the “hot properties” in the Scottish League and had a competition in one of the red tops who would score more, can’t remember who won but of the two of them I would have taken Russell every day.

He's recalled Zanatta who has scored already, something Stockton failed to do, signed the Danish laddie and said he is pursuing another striker. I can't quite see how that equates to putting all his eggs in one basket. I would have thought after he made an arse out of all the trumpets who were desperate for him to fail last year, folk would be less inclined to hysterics now.

Johnny Two Pies Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Six out (including Nowak and Smith-Brown) with an apparent possibility (if you believe the rumours) that Lafferty might yet go. Three in so far, although it also looks like a couple of the loanees brought back (Irving and Zanatta, maybe Godinho) are earmarked to feature in and around the team too. Suggestions of a defensive midfielder coming in, Levein clearly trying to bring in another striker as well. Overall I feel we have already improved the squad in terms of quality, which is a real positive. Does look light in terms of strikers though, something resembling a target man (as a team we are always going to send it long much of the time) must be the priority. Wait and see what happens over the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
