They'll turn out for an end of season game that promised our best league finish for over fifty years, but turning out for a possible thumping midweek in January at £27 a go is a completely different story. And its on SKY which won't help.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, he's not saying anything different than what was already on here. Surprised it's taken him this long to pick up the Bunn story, as it was posted on here a week ago that he was training with us.

Popular Post KFCSteve Posted January 14, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 I love how we've went from "there's not even a rumour" to "He'll no dae" in the matter of a page. How about we give the guy a chance, if he signs, and see what he offers on the pitch before judging his ability. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimStripey Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 I’m encouraged to see us trying to sign guys permanently that are at decent ages as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillieDIV Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 I'm not really arsed about the quality of signings at the minute, I'm just delighted that we're actually bringing players in. -8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, yet we could afford to sign players like Dean Shiels, Paul Heffernan, Danny Buijs, Gary Harkins, Lee Johnston, Cillian Sheridan, Borja Perez, Sammy Clingan and so on, who I would describe as proper, mature fitba' players. I can't say that about a lot of the players we have signed in the last year. Gates are up, if anything. I don't remember any major transfer receipts back then - Sammon and Bryson maybe, yet we've had Taylor recently. We've had back-to-back Top Six finishes. Yet we are dealing in pretty indifferent loan players and bottom-of-the-barrel free transfers. How come we could afford better players back then than now? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably harsh to lump Bunn into bottom of the barrel frees. He seems to have a reputation as being a good player. Other than that, I agree. It's baffling that we can't seem to attract the same quality. I can only assume it's maybe a reflection on their being more money in lower league English football than there was a decade ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that plenty money in English leagues but good players in lesser teams in Scotland but we never seem to be able to secure them either. Would like to know what cash is actually available and why we can't seem to compete with Dundee United for example...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogwai Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 If Chelsea are now able to sign players, that might push Billy Gilmour further down the pecking order this season. I'd be asking Sir Steve to put in a good word for us to see if they want to give him some game time with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be in a better position financially but the quality of player we are bringing in has definitely dropped. It seems there is a very determined and conscious effort to reduce operating costs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
