Game is now a sell out.

Great effort by the fans.

 
More tickets just been made available in Jerry Kerr

Still a bit baffled that we've had to keep 3 massive sections of the JK empty.

I hate to do this, BMT

Who is McCloud????? 😂

 
Ha ha your right I’ll just stick to first names in future 😁

 
Best one I've seen mate. A Scottish cloud.

Tbf it's a brutal name to spell. I'm not even going to attempt it. Wee Rory will do.

You think? or you've heard? 

Edit: you heard then

I know I'll get shot down for saying this, but I think it's been a BRILLIANT window so far.

The simple fact is the quality of players we have been tracking and subsequently signed were just not available earlier in the window . These guys have options to consider and are not in the least bit desperate to rush into anything.

The only way to get these players is either to offer huge wages, which we can't, or play the long game and persuade them their interests are best represented here.

The downside is they aren't in place for the start of pre season - for me that's a price worth paying.

It broke my heart to see some of the criticism of the club over the last few weeks, when in reality there have been massive efforts in the recruitment space that are now bearing fruit.

I can't wait to see which top player appears next!

You are setting yourself up to be shot down mate. I feel like you're being overly positive (for whatever reason) in the knowledge that there are plenty fans that are frustrated with the speed of our transfer business.

Most people will generally agree with the core opinion you have, which is that we're holding off on players because we're waiting for our first choice or however you want to put it, but to quote the window as 'BRILLIANT' is just straight up fishing for a reaction in my eyes. 

A lot of fans are on board with the process. And even though we might want to see signings ASAP, the majority of fans are fully confident that the recruitment team have been working very hard over the summer to identify the best players to add to the squad. 

My advice to you, which you (of course) don't need to take, is to cool it on the extravagant views on what is happening at the club. You saying "I think it has been a good window so far" is an opinion and most would respect it, even if they disagreed. But coming out and saying you think its been a BRILLIANT window, caps and all, just comes across as you looking to rile people

I'd say Glass would be better served being a squad player for us. His last two loans have ended in 1 season ending injury and 1 pointless spell at Killie where he played about 60 mins of football over 5 months (total guess btw)

Ross now talking about a midfielder (presumably holding) and another striking option. Where is the pace? Do we not do wingers any more?

He said attacking option to be fair so that could well be a pacy winger/striker

Looks a extremely solid signing

Please I beg for some attacking players next though

 
Think this lad looks a very decent attacking threat himself! But I agree, attacking reinforcements needed ASAP

Heard about a month ago he was off to Swansea but to keep it off the Forum.

Given how long we've known about his departure, i'd expect a quick replacement appointed.

 
We will not hear anything about it for ages then names will be leaked by Burns but ultimately it will end up going to Adam Asghar.

We have all seen this movie before.

 
Dont think it will be

that’s how we got Levitt.

 
If that's true then it sure worked out for the best 😂 maybe we should have done it then!!

 

Surely your assumption is the only way we find players is by other teams rocking up on our doorstep. What if a young Messi is playing at West ham and we hadn't scouted him - would you want us to refuse to look at him in training? Absurd.

If a player falls into our path, it would be remiss of the club NOT to look into it

 

Confused about what your point is. But obviously if a potentially good, available player falls on your doorstep then you have a look.

My point was that we should have already known about these players through research. And not relying on Teams turning up at our doorstep. If it can work both ways though then of course I'm all for it.

Jack Ross ain't stupid & I'll bet he spoke to Micky Mellon before applying for the job.
Micky might have painted him a bad picture but Jack Ross being a big man & nobody's fool came in thinking he could handle the personnel in place.
What we're seeing just now might be the beding-in process as the two main protaganists lock horns.
I pray it works out & Jack Ross doesn't become a 6-monther.
 

Jesus fuckin christ. So we've not signed the players at the speed we'd like and suddenly Ross and Asghar are 'locking horns' 

Finn Seemann wrote:

The issue here is that we have a sporting director who believes his own hype and, contrary to our hopes that Ross would have driven a hard bargain, he is not being given, even close to, the free rein that he needs. Less than 2 weeks to the start of the season and the old gaps remain together with the new ones (e.g. combative midfielder).  We’ve got a nice new badge though (albeit one that’s not on our home shirt).

 
Agree completely with the 2nd half of this Finn but I feel the first half you are just guessing.

In the meantime, we’ll let a few names get out there to keep the plebs happy.
Kick a few tyres, and miss out on available talent.

We signed Levitt, and it’s great. But it doesn’t mean we stop.

 
I doubt they have stopped. But we need to see some movement soon.
