mitch14 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 It's really frustrating. I understand there have been difficulties, new manager etc, but to get this far into the season without addressing key areas is getting into the negligence area for sure. Still time for lots to happen, but the inquest into this summer will be interesting if we ever get the full info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewWylie Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 We are being offered a good few players but the agents are wanting too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Angelo Alessio has admitted he wants to bring in more players before the September 2 deadline. -2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleycouley93 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 The fact we are using agents is only gonna increase the value of the player/agent fee. Allowing our scouting system to go down the tubes is mental. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmonty3 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Just extremely bored of this now. English window is long since closed. Didn't make a bit of difference. We don't seem to be any closer to addressing the key areas of the team that need improved. Think we'll get one or two in just to swell numbers but not expecting anything more than bodies as back up. No confidence at all in our current recruitment process. Luckily we still have some good players at the club who will likely see us have a solid if unspectacular season. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’d hope so. But these guys have been looking at suitable boys to come in for months. Although I like Alessio wanting to be his own man it seems mental to dismiss the scouting teams advice to the point where they are that pissed off the chuck it. In my opinion all clubs should have transfer window that stops before the first game of the season. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrwmorton Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Am I reading too much into the comment that we need to complete the squad by signing a centre back. Either this means we’ve got a couple of strikers and attacking midfielder lined up or we’ve totally lost the plot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely impractical imo, our league is one of the earliest to kick off which would leave us vulnerable to players being poached by clubs from down south and throughout Europe.

kfc_superteam Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 We do have a decent defensive setup but that's it. You need an attacking threat or we're only going one way. Unless we make three or four quality attacking options we will be lucky to finish above 8th if not fighting relegation. You have to hope the signings are coming but the longer it goes with the same statements from the manager and no conclusion to these conversations it makes you concerned. I don't blame AA, he's a coach, modern football clubs have scouts and recommend players to the manager. We do not and our lack of structure behind the scenes may ultimately cost us. It seems every club..except St Johnstone have targets identified and are tying up business. How St Mirren are in a better financial state than us and can pay a fee is beyond me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhamkillieken Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 i reckon we should stay calm, AA must know what he needs for the team to click, if not AD should be pointing him in the right direction. if not it will be short cv busting time for AA in scotland, and i doubt that he is why he came here. i await the rabbits being pulled out of the bag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MarkyMark Posted August 22, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) As a support we are all frustrated by the lack of signings as we want to build on last year but we need to be careful that we don’t simply sign players just for the sake of it. The reverse is that we don’t sign players that could do a job for us but struggle as a result, Alessio is on a hiding to nothing given that as a support our expectations have been raised and he is being measured against a higher bar. If you look at the norm over the last ten years our performances under Clarke are above trend. Our aim even under Clarke was to avoid relegation but some fans ambition is for us to be 3rd. There were criticism on daturday because we hadn’t scored against Hamilton but we controlled the vast majority of the game. What more could you reasonably expect the manager to do with the payers available? No point in getting on the players or managers back as that isn’t in the definition of supporting.

Alex Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 The word is Celtic have made 1 million bid for Taylor . If Bowie and the board let this happen they have sold the Killie fans short. He would be going to replace a 3 million player the board should be asking 4 million. Motherwell put a price on a player and stuck with it Teams just seem to bend over for the old firm and get shafted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebigguy68 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 No way GT is leaving for a million. Celtic will want him, we will say 3 million. It will be drawn out over next week till last day and he’ll join for 2.1 milllion. Club record. A little prediction. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
