Transfer Window

[tuna]

I'm hearing we are in for a young Dutch centre half from Plymouth, who's on loan from Wolves.

That must be Nigel Lonwijk who is a first choice centre back for Plymouth who are top of the english first division. Can't imagine they want to lose him and he is on a season long loan from Wolves so seems a bit unlikely but let's see

[donsdaft]

Depends who we've got that Wolves would want.

A certain number 9 perhaps.

Can't think of anyone else.

[TheDeeDon]

On the BBC gossip column that a defender called Jay Idzes from Go Ahead Eagles is on our radar.
If true, I hope he is an improvement on our last Dutch defender.

[NaeMairNeeps]

Maybe there's confusion here ... rumours are that we're looking at a young Welsh striker of Dutch descent ... Dai Van Heederman

[RED_JOHN]

A few rumours going around at the moment (not unexpectedly) about players getting released, moved on etc. I will be amazed if the FMB sanction a signing before Saturday’s match. Currently we go as we are. It’s all part of the master plan though…save paying out anything further this transfer window to help fund the pay off of the current management team. I can read them like a book, it’s too easy.

[TheDeeDon]

Don't see much movement anytime soon. Would wonder about the calibre of any player signing for a club like us at the moment due to the axe hanging over the head of our manager ready to fall at any moment.

[neilthedon]

Can you , aye ?

If it's another "buy a foreigner as an investment" buy , it would have zero input from Goodwin. Be a DC & Gunn purchase. So would occur no matter who is Coach.?

Outward bound players ? Who knows ?!!

Aye, we're a midden at the moment and any prospective players would need their heids examined for coming here at the moment.

The problem with outward players may be that it could be players who have fallen out with Goodwin and could do a job here

I suspect our managers under DC and the FM Crew have little say in recruitment, so could well be an issue going forward for us and not just with Goodwin.

With hindsight, this started wityh the , then , mysterious signing of Hernadez ?

But both Glass & Goodwin surely must have known about this during their interview period ?

It falls in with DC`s " forward looking " progressive football prawcess. Director of Football runs the whole thing , and the " Manager " is really the Coach.

( Except he doesn`t have a Director of Football. Gunny has been given that title , but I suspect he goes through the motions of merely implementing Cormacks wishes ? And neither of them have a track record of football experience in running a Team & squad. )

Jings. Things have fair changed in a week ?!!

We will never know what JG was promised, but a good weekly wedge may have saw him overcome that hurdle of our FMC overseeing player recruitment.

I suspect when Jim told us our defence was easily fixed he possibly meant it, as St Mirren always looked fairly solid under him, but then the reality of our FMC playing champ manager for real and blowing our budget on attack with the premise of scoring more than our opponents would see us forgetting about the need for a defence.

We go into our game tomorrow with the same manager, but more worrying the same defence that has cost us all season. Unless we get this young loon from Fulham on loan who has never played first team and worryingly he can play at LB RB or in the middle of defence, maybe all at the same time.

I wish I took up following tiddlywinks as a loon instead of following fitba.

Me personally….i would ditch this DOF role at a club of our size. Absolutely no need for it and it just makes the role of manager and the role of chairman a lot lazier than necessary. Install a proper football manager and ditch these daft roles filled by glamourised office workers. A club that is from Scotland (who have hardly ever put a dent on European football) doesn’t need DOF roles. Focus getting the basics right first for a right good few years before you need more people employed at the club. As for The Football Monitoring Board…don’t get me started

The games moved on min. We will burn through managers at a horrible rate and even if we find a good one who is successful they will probably go elsewhere quickly and in these instances we need the continuity of the footballing operations being unaffected by the constant change.

Granted it hasn't been great so far, but if Colgate stops interfering and puts the right people in place all may not be lost, but not going to hold my breathe.
