2018 Summer recruitment

[RED_JOHN]

Who are you realistically looking for us to sign?

Players who will give us a chance of winning trophies would be a great start. These players from Peterborough etc who have done the square root of hee-haw will only be further revolving football nobodies.
We are meant to be the second best team in Scotland’s top league so let’s try improve on what we are instead of hoping for a Russ Richardson miracle.
At the moment we are showing very little ambition of trying to improve on what can only be described as a footballing eye bleeding season.
Who honestly thinks McInnes, Richardson, Milne etc have the ability to better us? Absolutely no chance is my answer.

And where are the funds coming from to buy these players who will win trophies for us? Sevco have spent 5M in the last 3 days on two defenders?? Im afraid we cant compete with that and we have to shop in the market we are in hoping to unearth some 'gems' As much as that frustrates the **** out me until someone comes in with serious backing and by that i mean 5-10M then we shop where we can afford to and its a fact of life

Aye, right up uuntil the most exciting thing we did on this frot. Signing Charlie Nic from Aresenal.

Feck, that was headline news on BBC one !!!

In fairness we did sign David Goodwillie and he was often headline news on BBC one.

In fairness to Del only 2 of them are professional football players so I wouldn’t think he would be interested in the third guy. The football pair though will be fair game to him.

Russ Richardson is the Arthur Daily of football scouts. Tells you that the player he is recommending is a star but the reality is that he is in need of repair.

I still don’t think its necessarily all down to McInnes and Russ Richardson that we buy most of our players from the lower leagues in England.

When Willie Miller was dof his buddy Craig Robertson was the scout and only went to look at players down in guff land.

Possibly it could be they are told by the board for some reason to look at players from the lower English leagues?

When was the last time we bought a load of players from abroad?

Probably Skovdhal and before him Aitken bought a couple of pish Bulgarians and a 40 year old French defender.

It didn't stop Craig Broon signing an agent's son to push the Nick Blackman loan through - that deal had dodgy written all over it.

To a lesser extent, Calderwood had a habit of signing amateurs too - thank fu(k those days are over...
