Me either, when the alternative was Ryan McGowan, committed but painfully slow and certainly no better. Watson I believe impressed Levein so much, that he was almost straight into the United starting line up. Injuries aside surely a better alternative than Murdoch, whom admittedly done reasonably well for a midfielder.Quote:

No announcements pending on the recruitment side is there.?? Gone a bit quiet after all the early speculation. I know it's early days but even the rumours have slowed down. 🤔
Heard we're after Cifci...
(joking.!!)
Keith Watson was finished years ago, actually was he ever all that? A firm no from me.
Goodie. Usually with a scoring rate like his last season he would be getting attention from bigger clubs but unfortunately he's damaged goods.
Most players will be off on their holidays right now. It'll pick up closer to July.Quote:

Is Fraser Aird any better a prospect now than McMullan was last season?
This summer and last summer most our recruitment seems to have come from a small pool of local/domestic talent, which also just happened to be available at that time. That seriously limits your options. I'm not writing Clark off btw, he will probably be a steady signing, but it doesn't suggest we have a great deal of other attackers lined up, unless Laslo is super keen on him.
Fingers crossed Luggy and Laslo have some signings lined up to compliment these championship players.
And hopefully we can sign a striker this season that can at least win headers/attack crosses.
We have to bear in mind that it is mindset and attitude that gets you out this league.
Livingston and to much of an extent St Mirren were filled with the uninspiring.
That's the championship.
I think that shows (as with English championship) what you really need is a good manager who can motivate, organise and have the respect of the dressing room and fans...oh dear 😂Quote:

Suggests to me that we can’t afford to sack him.
Although we don’t know what his budget is the players being bandied about also suggests there is no imminent investment from the Americans.
