I wonder how our non lazy recruitment is going. It’s good that we are stepping up a few gears in our drive to sign players from far and wide. The days of loans from Celtic etc will obviously be a thing of the past and I imagine Goodchin won’t be relying on his former players at St.Mirren to come in and try to make us a top 6 team again.

Still no news from Club about our Albanian signing ?

Has it died a death as BB thinks ?

Or is it just because he`s got 2 or 3 International games to play before coming over for the " Scarf over the head " photo ?

Where is the picture of him with the scarf above his head? Can’t possibly have signed until i see the evidence!

Just quick thought.
What is everybody's up to date opinion on him now?
I'm liking the signings and the noises being made.
Has he been lucky due to the money we have taken in this summer to enable him to bring in players that we probably couldn't have?
I like this new recruitment, spread net further and bringing in players with potentially excellent sell on values while continuing to bring through home grown talent
Genuinely looking forward to this season and seeing this team develop.
Yes we will most likely sell one or two at end of season, but if AFC can continue to this process, it augurs well for future.
Roll on Sunday, COYR, heid first

We've definitely had worse close seasons for signings.
I'm cautiously optimistic.

[RED_JOHN]

I want to be optimistic but I will wait and see the state of play after the first round of fixtures. I still reckon he (Goodwin) won’t see out the season.

I'm quietly despondent.

Cantwin will always be a numpty, he'll be gone by Christmas.

He was starting to win me over until he gave us a list of games that he watched Celtic play (whilst having a grin on his face).
He just forgot to add he was cheering them on.

Jim Goodwin says a lot of the right things and he’s certainly not afraid to wield the axe and clear out deadwood when required. The League Cup group stage campaign was a success,12 points and no coals conceded was a good start to the season.

I think we will do ok this season , pushing for 3rd or 4th , but this loaning players from Celtic still doesn’t sit well with me. The lesson should have been learned after the Christie loan but we’re basically in the same predicament but probably even worse as it’s a central defender this time. Celtic will be laughing at us developing another player for them and JG has come out in the media to say he’s ‘comfortable’ with it.
