Logically it's obviously a good thing that for the first January in who knows how long we have a vaguely functional squad which doesn't need a radical overhaul but it's awful boring...even some gossip would help pass the dark hours, there must be an unknown Hungarian midfielder we could be linked to or a Dutch wonderkid?
My call has been answered, a French journeyman last playing in Malaysia following stints in Slovakia and Vietnam! Much more like it. Glory awaits!
Victor Nirennold is yer man. Signed until the end of the season, formerly played for Alexander at Fleetwood Towm. Right-sided defender.

Big, strong and fast so seems to fit the Alexander type for defenders. Whether he can play football a different matter.
That’s a strange signing surely? Unless the club know that Mugabi will be leaving before the end of the month.
If we are going to be signing any players just now then surely we need to be breaking the habit of (what it seems) a lifetime and bringing in a forward type player to at least attempt to replace Watt??? Otherwise we are just filling up our already ‘workmanlike yet awful to watch side’ with more of the same.
Victor, Victor ... Victor, Victor !Quote:

I'd assume a forward coming too despite what GA says.
We've no idea on the defence due to Alexander's approach to team news. Ojala and Solholm clearly fragile though, Lamie has been out for months, Mugabi limped off after County apparently...the fact we played Carroll at CB there v Morton suggests all is not well there at least short-term.
Is it coincidence that Bevis is missing a few days before Jan 31st? And, the noise from his Ugandan supporters is all but mute ...
