The inactivity of this wet fart of a transfer window continues.

Anyone heard any rumours, anything?

 

Nothing.!

I for one am not a panic merchant by any means but this is all a bit toooo slooowwww ..

Scott burns saying McGrath isn’t currently available and other clubs also interested.

Good spin by United to keep fans happy for a week or 2. What now?

Think we might have a slow, frustrating start to the season until we get reinforcements in..., if we get them in that is.!

Can see how the first game down at killie is gonna go a mile off

 
Yeah you’d think anyone with a realistic chance of starting v Killie will need to be in the door by this weekend tbh

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.

 
There’s a reason our managers only last one season.

Cristiano Fitzgerald apparently on trial

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' 

I'm not defending Tony at all but some patience and perspective needed re the transfer windows
The recruitment may have identified targets and categorised them as 1st choice, 2nd choice etc, but so have the players we are targeting.
Their agents will have options as well, for all we know the player we are after has us as his 3rd or 4th choice and maybe an unknown also jumps in to the mix
Sometimes these things marry up, most times they don't.
Let's hope the recruitment team have identified enough darts that at least a few more hit the bullseye

Aye, who's to say we've not tried to sign a lot of players and they simply do not want to sign for us?

Cheer up lads, at least we are not Hibs!  (who by the way have signed loads of players all of which appear to be no better than what they had last year).

Danny Mullen signs for Partick. Thank fuck for that.
