What I'd like to know is where is our unparalleled extensive scouting network when you need it. What are these people doing? Have we stopped paying them? The last time it was needed we signed Ryan Edwards who was known to MM and Charlie Mulgrew who was known to TA.

Is the internet down in India?

3 players.

A goalkeeper (a decent one)
A creative midfielder (to battle Mochrie for the shirt)
A striker (unless we've put our chips on Clark and Appere)

Plenty time. 27 days til we kick off in the Premiership.
