Those are bare minimum signings and Willock would have been a very nice bonus. Plus, we would have bought a couple of players for the squad.
What I've just written isn't even a ridiculous suggestion for a normal club. If you stand still you effectively go backwards given that everybody else has made attempts to improve so it's no wonder that the prospect of making a loan signing permanent isn't exactly a cause for huge celebration on here.
I know you like to complain about our complaining-and that's fair enough-but you've got to understand how cathartic it is. Gallows humour, sacrcasm and downright cynicism are just about the only things we've got. Think of it as tensing your stomach before somebody punches you in it.
It helps us prepare for the inevitable shite that lies ahead.
