FKT It looks like he is referring to both Sammon and Ciftci not being prepared to drop down to our level. He is absolutely correct to state that no signing is better than a poor signing. RM sounds as frustrated as the fans but his number 1 job is player recruitment and he will sink or swim depending on it

Squander money (toshney) and won't bring in rubbish, Murdoch who's murder, vdv who he says will cruise this league with his eyes closed can't get a game tope who has been punted already and others like vds and Phil still to prove there good enough that's rubbish signings.

Bang-on.

I'm already reading things like 'In Ray i trust'.

Sorry if i don't jump on board wholeheartedly but the proclamations of 'In Mixu i trust' and even 'In Jackie i trust' are still too all fresh in the memory.


 

Like most things there has to be middle ground. Of course one side  could point at some of his signings that have not worked and the other side could look at his successful signings. We have not won in 5- poor,  however a 79% win rate at Tannadice deserves a bit of respect  So he certainly has not done enough to be knighted Sir Ray however his strike rate currently compares favourably with recent managers.

there is players available as free agents that would come and improve our team in this league  imo. the likes of paul caddis who can cover three positions and we are fairly weak in two of them (rb and rw). 

Didn't rate him back in 2008 but he would walk into our team now.
 

to be fair though he is 8 years older and played 200 plus games at a fairly decent level. honestly think he would do a turn.

i know his named has been said and laughed at and yes injury dramas over the years but his goal scoring is ok and if his injury worries us then pay as u play deal untill the summer, prove your fitness. (david templeton) a winger who even wen being slated at rangers still scored 20 plus goals in 60 games, which aint too bad. 

Yep good shout, he has talent, just needs to get some fitness and a regular game.

Aye did he no break his ankle a few year back when he was we Herts I think. Dinna think he got his contract renewed fae The Ragers in the summer. Did ane oe the Edinburgh sides no go after him, Spartans, Ed. City. Canna mind. Scored a no bad number oe goals IIRC.

Seeing a bloke on P&B saying Templeton's training with us the now.

Noting that another ex-Sevco player, Ian Black, has had his contract mutually cancelled, if anyone wants to start another daft rumour.

Toshney's not squadered money, you can't get a ground floor flat in Arklay St for £50k.
Murdoch is not murder, he's under the forum cosh just now cos it's his turn
VdV is ready to play & is good influence
Tope - Ray has admitted it & got rid, fair do's
VdS is proving ok I think
Phil is brand new & needs more time to prove he's ok, decent signs on Saturday
 

 

I wouldnt say murdoch is  under any cosh from the forum.
Hes been pish and has people have saif what they think about his performances.
Id have kept tope if im honest.

Can't imagine why they wanted to get rid of him.

Female teacher I know (who is a Zombie), saw him in a hotel in Glasgow about 18 months ago and said after initally meeting him and her and her husband getting a selfie with him then noticed Black and his pal kept heading to the toilet together (if you know what I mean).  Later a more cocky/confident Black began propositioning the lassie to go upstairs for a threesome with him and his pal when her husband was at the loo and at the bar.
 

 You cant tell a story like that without getting to the punchline LOA . Did she go up stairs with them Black had a tenner on it.

Unless you're playing with an open chequebook almost every manager will have about a 50% success rate.

Bell, Andreu, Flood, Edge have been good, VDS once fit was fine for RB

Murdoch is coming back from injury, VDV is a player, but too similar to Andreu, Tope was pish, Toshney has been dissapointing, but he's had a broken nose, fucked knee and now a broken toe, at least by plaing through the pain barrier he's ommittmed, Cammy Smith was again a victim of Andreu.

Too early to judge Mikk.

Two of these are away already.

Even the great Fergie signed players who didn't work, Veron, Forlan, Poborski, he even managed to make a cunt of Ralphie ;)
