Pasquale for King Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Just now, Dr. Sheldon Cooper said: Realistically we would win the league with the squad we have, but there are some positions we need to strengthen in. You should always be looking to improve the team. The transfer window has been open for four days and still has over three weeks left. Chill the **** out 😂 Don’t tell me what to do. They’ve had months to plan for this, get ****ing on with it. The documentary showed how poorly this part of the operation is run, let’s hope this new guy can make it more professional.

I expect him to know he would need a target man and get him, maybe use the money he wasted on Roberts or Frear to get one in on loan and play the youngsters who are certainly no worse.

No I don't expect him to say we had a shite squad, but I did not expect him to sign shite and indeed we were already covered with wide players, he goes and signs 3 more one of which may be okay, a centre half who is bad as it gets and now he decides he wants a couple more new players..... Already he is dividing the support and to me we are in for a long season based on usual garbage away set ups where teams see we are soft as.

A massive over reaction to having not signed somebody four days into the window. The documentary didn't show that in a good light but it's not as if they're the people identifying the players, they're just involved in various parts of the process. Neilson and Savage will have been talking for weeks about players and there will be a shortlist. These things don't happen quickly and in January things tend to be more complicated as there are less free agents available so there's likely more negotiating involved with other clubs which will add to the time taken. New players will arrive, just a case of when and not if. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furst there was Vladimir Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 GMS very close to signing. Has held talks with both us and Aberdeen but Aberdeen need to offload players before being able to offer him anything.

True - but 3 of them were all out of contract and looking for a club. Ginelly is on loan. Maybe that's where we might be able to attract someone on loan from a higher level who isn't getting game time ? Haven't Hibs done that a few times in the last couple of years ? There seems to be fewer players out of contract in the winter than in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie want Brophy out the door ASAP so if you sign someone now on a pre contract you might well be able to negotiate their release. Imagine he scores the goal that relegates Killie 😆.

Yeah fair point about Roberts and Frear, that makes it even worse. Popescu was from the dregs though. Im hoping we are going to be a bit more professional and do the work required to be signing someone ASAP in the January window from now on, as many teams already have. We hear continually about plans for the window but rarely sign anyone quickly, Vanacek aside obviously 🙄. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
