I'm maybe being a bit of a happy clapper here but the club have signed some good players. Actually, I'm yet to see a bad signing, the players letting us down are certain imposters from last season. El Alagui, Allan, Kennedy and Gray have been our best players thus far.
Those criticising the loan deals - I understand the frustration that it's papering over the cracks almost, and so many loans has contributed to our downfall in the last few years, but surely if these boys are good players it's better getting them on loan than some 32 year old journeyman never-was.
I think McGeouch looks a good wee player, been in and around the celtic first team for a couple years now. He's also out of contract in the summer so possibly looking to earn a permanent deal? I know nothing about this Sinclair but the fact it's a loan deal or his age doesn't bother me, I'm more bothered about his ability to score goals.
One more striker, preferably an experienced head to help the young boys would be ideal. Other than that I think we've done some good business this window.
;4152249']I think the players Stubbs has signed look good quality so far.
Gray has been good
Farid - enough said, better than what we had
Oxley - not done much wrong so far and distribution is good - On par with Williams probably
Kennedy - some skill on the boy and more useful than Watmore/Cairney
Allan - again, highly rated. Better than what went out.
Fontaine - more than good enough for this league and far better than Nelson.
Take it you guys weren't at Alloa on Saturday. Lightweight crap that other Championship teams will rip the pure pish out of.

I care what he does. If he thinks the laddie is quality, then I'm happy to believe him.
No, but it's better than it was this morning.
Agreed but come on its not difficult...unless another striker comes in tonight we have Heff as our only experienced striker till Jan...I think thats a disgrace pure and simple!

Im not writing them off mate...but having witnessed us struggle in our last 2 matches against part time teams its not enough...nowhere near enough tobturn our season around. ..especially as we have now lost our best striker for half the season. FFS we are already 9 and 6 pts behing the uglies!!

Not exactly inspiring is it, season over already?
We still need another player up front in my opinion, even if Sinclair is as good or even better than Algooly.
Agree. We now need a Farid type player to compliment Sinclair. Big, can win balls, hold things up and can finish.
Nish?

Yes. Season over.
See you next season.

I'm so desperate for any experienced striker that I would grab chris killen now, but he's out of contract so can be signed anytime after today

We can sign out of contract players any time!

Craig Beattie signs for Ayr Utd
Good luck with that.
Some signings would help overcome it. We still have time.

Not Nish but exactly the type of player we require.

Euan Smith, Ex Hibs. Loan move Killie to Clyde
Stepovic signs 4 year deal
Couldn't see the non Scottish one but apparently tom cleverly wanted 80k a week and this is why he didn't move to Aston Villa. 80k a week the games a boggey, Sky has systematically taken any sort of competitive edge away from clubs. I cannot believe how far the game has got to, it has to stop somehow. When does the bubble burst. I for one can't wait till it does. I'm sick to the back teeth with it. We have been woefully lacklustre in our attempts (on the face of it) to get new players in.

The boy falcau (sp) is set collect £364,000 a week from Man U. That's just a loan deal. Disgusting.
