    Ah dare say, the loans and the short term signings have been a good strategy. We should be looking to see what we can make o' McKenzie, Barron, Milne, Hancock, Bavidge etc ... but need to find games where we can give them minutes where we have control of games rather than thrown on to cover injuries in games we are all but already pumped.

    Goodwin liked to throw that 'transition period' excuse in there, but we didna need tae be 'in transition' had we sorted out decent defence cover.

    Now tho, we are def in 'transition mode' with our only 'established 'CB' a loanee, and other candidates fresh in the door.

    My point is, it would have been an insult to younger players breaking into the team had our latest 'cohort' of signings been handed 2/3/4 year contracts.

    With the right approach, maybe what we already have 'waiting in the wings' will be better than our coffers can afford going forward.

    Other than avoiding relegation, our targets this season are pretty limited ... so maybe let's change focus and build from the bottom up?
    I was disappointed that we never saw Milne get a run out at the back this season when it was clear we were toiling in defence.
    Might not have had a McKenna like impact, but would have been worth a try at least.

      I remember when he signed for Inverness, they had a bunch of young lads sharing a house.
      Apparently he was as mad as a box of frogs and, even by fitba player standards, really thick.
      There was him, Tokely, Scott "Trigger" McLean, a couple of other young lads who'd come back from teams down south........by all accounts it was carnage.
      His behaviour was why we got released from Rangers and was off the scale in Inverness until he knuckled down.

      I'm assuming at 44, those days are well behind him.

      • So Robson has said we tried to sign a right back before the window closed, but what I also read in the article was that we spent £300k on Richardson. Please tell me that ain't true.

        I thought it was £100k or under he cost us.

        • Coulson has signed a 3 year deal (including an option of a year) with Boro. Presumably then not coming back next season.

            The boy's not a defender but he can play and in the right team and more importantly correct position then he'll do really well.

              • Not really an ex don,, but doubt he will play for us again. Our ex Captain, Anthony Stewart, has apparently injured himself and could be out for the season.

                  Oh Dear was it a sliding tackle ? Clash of heads ? Was he sent off ?

                  • No doubt they will terminate the loan and we will be saddled with his full wage

                    Sure he will be good to have around the dressing room though

                      HAS to be a clause in the Loan arrangement making sure that if the Loanee incurs an injury, the Loaning Club will be rquired to honour their fee payments for the agreed length of the Loan ??

                      Surely.............?!!

                        The Loan Arranging Committee will need to get back to you on that one.

                          I laughed at that, then it dawned on me it might well exist! ☹️

                                Surely it's the loan monitoring board
