2018 Summer recruitment

[Aldo1983]

On a serious note, when are we back training?
22 June?
If we’re to sign say 6 players, would be good to have at least 4 of them in before we go back.
There then might be a couple of loans at the end of August.

We've got three in already if you count Devlin. That's not too bad going.

Sorry but I refuse to accept Devlin as a "new signing". Totally appreciate that he's been injured, but he's not a new signing in my eyes.

I meant we needed about another 5 or 6 in addition.
Thinking 3 or 4 in asap or before we get back to training, & a couple of loans at end of window

I agree, not when he was signed 6 months ago.
Ferguson & Forrester is 2.
We need another 5, possibly 6?
Right back
Right centre half
2 centre mids
Right winger
Striker

Devlin is as you say not a new signing.
How long before we hear our manager grumble about the availability of decent players to improve on what he has? I will just put it down to a lazy recruiting policy.

He may surprise us though and sign quite a few decent players who will take the league by storm with their free flowing attacking football.
Mind you if push comes to shove I reckon my comment on having a lazy recruiting policy will come to fruition.

He was signed for this season and since he's never played I'd consider him a "new signing".

Straight from the managerial book of cliches 👍

I would say considering Devlin was injured when he signed he could be classed as a summer signing.

I would imagine he was signed in January instead of now was so the medical staff could work on his injury for the last 6 months.

Do players not need to pass a medical before signing anymore?

Obviously they don’t if he signed injured.

I remember Jim McInally not being able to sign for us because he failed his medical so it must be different these days.
