He could easily have identified/approved incoming signings and he himself wouldn't be needed for medicals/paperwork. Similarly he could have approved outgoing transfers and loans which can easily be done without him. However, he will be in Glasgow tonight, not too far away from the SFA offices if he is needed.

the jambo poet Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 A lot of smugness on the outcome of the window and no incomings apart from the start of January. I've no doubt we were sniffing about looking for a gem but it's difficult in this window. The people who give us snippets are good to have around and are probably correct in that we have been talking to players/agents. We shouldn't knock them as they are often right on the money. Wait and see we may still get one or two in who are now free agents. It would be a boring window without our resident ITK'ers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it's soon. I think that is the key. We have numbers in the midfield, no doubt, but a lot of players who do roughly the same job and little quality cover elsewhere. Djoum/Lee/Cochrane/Clare/Bozanic - none can cover adequately for what Haring provides (Bozanic maybe being the closest?) and nor can any of them play wide (at least not nearly as effectively as they do centrally). So, although overall we have a strong pool of players to pick from in midfield, if Haring is out, it is a big impact. Similarly, Morrison and Mulraney (and Mitchell?) don’t represent a great depth of choice or experience out wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Why do people come on a “discussion” thread and then decry anyone who puts anything up for discussion. If you only want to hear who we have signed, when they are signed, stick to the club website. If you want to hear rumours, suggestions and debate, this is the thread for you. “ITKers” add to the discussion. There will be mischief makers and trolls but more often than not, there is something behind the rumours. You can’t judge accuracy by who we sign as the majority of early contacts with prospects doesn’t end up in a signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I’m saying that. I don’t think we really have any stand in for him where we’d have plenty further forward and central. Perhaps unfair on Bozanic. But the crux of my point was that saying that we have a strong midfield isn’t really correct imo. We have a number of good midfield players but they all cover pretty similar roles. It’s like having no full backs and four quality centre halves and saying that we are strong in defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
